    "Best Local Cuisine in New York" Gecreëerd door : Cityseeker 12 Locaties in uw favorieten Nom Wah Tea Parlor "Dim Sum Since 1920" Nom Wah Tea Parlor claims to have the longest running dim-sum shop in NYC and since 1920 this restaurant has been serving these delectable little dumplings at this address. For a bit of history, this storefront is located on the Bloody Angle, one of the city's most notorious alleys in which many Chinese gangs shed blood throughout the 19th Century. by Abhishek Sanwa Limbu on Despite the mayhem which then existed, today, Nom Wah diners eat Unsplash on Unsplash classic siu mai and drink hot jasmine tea, just as it was done along the Silk Road hundreds of years ago. +1 212 962 6047 nomwah.com/chinatown/ [email protected] 13 Doyers Street, New York NY Lombardi's "America's First Pizzeria" In 1897 Gennaro Lombardi started selling tomato pies to workers from a humble storefront on Spring St. In 1905, he transformed it into what would become the first pizzeria in the United States. The original location closed in 1984, but the family reopened this pizzeria in 1994, right down the street. Inside, the magnificent, brick-oven pizza comes to your table the same way it did over a century ago. It's simple, crusty and much beloved by the locals and tourists. Needless to say, wait times on the weekends can be quite long and a line of people usually curves around the door. The ovens use classic ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, real Mozzarella di Bufala and if you are looking for a slice, look elsewhere because Lombardi's has historically never sold them.

    CONTACT: Laura Rankin Belle Communication [email protected] 614-304-1463 office Sophia Groome Fransmart [email protected] 703-842-5400 office NEWS RELEASE NYC’s Legendary The Halal Guys Inks Multi-Unit Deal, Fueling Rapid Expansion Across Canada The beloved American Halal concept is making its Western Canadian debut, bringing five new locations to the Calgary area CALGARY, CANADA (July 1, 2020) – The Halal Guys has signed a franchise deal to bring at least five new locations ​ to territories in Calgary, Canmore and Banff. This is the brand’s fifth international deal and third in Canada, building on existing locations in Toronto. The Halal Guys is the original creator of American Halal Food. The concept became a well-known New York City brand largely via word-of-mouth thanks to Muslim cab drivers in the 90’s who appreciated delicious, fresh and well-priced American Halal Food. This year, The Halal Guys will bring its quintessential New York City street cart food experience to the Calgary area for the first time. “The Halal Guys is a unique concept, and there is nothing like it in Canada. The demand for The Halal Guys is very strong here, and we are extremely excited to be opening in the greater Calgary area,” said franchisee owner Youssef El Sweify. “Our goal is to have the first restaurant open by Fall.” With a loyal fan base as diverse as their flavor palate, The Halal Guys currently operates 94 locations with more than 200 worldwide expansions in development. The Halal Guys is partnered with Fransmart, the industry leading franchise development company behind the ​ ​ -more- explosive growth of brands like Five Guys Burgers & Fries and QDOBA Mexican Grill, as their exclusive franchise development partner to grow the brand.

    How to Make Your Favorite NYC O Ce Lunch at Home

    8/26/2020 How to make your favorite NYC office lunch at home LIVING How to make your favorite NYC oÔce lunch at home By Zachary Kussin August 24, 2020 | 9:57am Popular lunches from Fresh & Co, The Halal Guys and The Little Beet. Stefano Giovannini; Stephen Yang; Tamara Beckwith Before the coronavirus pandemic hit New York, some 680,000 bodies milled around Midtown Manhattan for work and play each day — more than 10 times its nighttime population. That’s a lot of sad desk lunches. But as remote work policies remain in place for the bulk of the city’s desk jockeys, some devotees of urban fast-casual chains actually miss the grab-and-go lunches of pre-pandemic times. Broadway musician Mat Eisenstein, for example, used to order the Santa Fe salad from grab-and-go staple Fresh & Co. about three times a week. He longs for the Southwestern-style dish. “If I want to do that at home, I have to go to the supermarket and pick out all the diºerent vegetables, and also the chicken or the salmon,” said the 47-year-old father of two, who is currently based in Rutherford, NJ, and was most recently the assistant conductor of the musical “Frozen.” “It’s so convenient, especially for someone who is running around from a https://nypost.com/2020/08/24/how-to-make-your-favorite-nyc-office-lunch-at-home/ 1/9 8/26/2020 How to make your favorite NYC office lunch at home rehearsal to a performance.

Without his help and information on urban tunnels and public gathering spaces I would not have been able to complete this process. Thank you, Dr. Sarmiento, for making this process a success. Next, I would like to thank my other geography professors, especially Dr. Weaver. Dr. Weaver has guided me through my years as an Urban and Regional Planning major and has helped me better understand the panning discipline and profession. Thank you, Dr. Weaver, for your help throughout the years and for instilling my understanding of the planning profession. I would be remiss if I did not thank the Texas State University Undergraduate Research Fund (URF). Through their generous scholarship of 820 dollars I was able to travel to Montreal for this study.
