We had the opportunity to go to New York for a quick 5 day trip. Dan had a business trip, and I decided to tag along. :) We had both been to New York a couple times before, so we were not planning to do too many touristy activities. Rather, this trip turned out to be more of a food excursion!
There were too many options to choose from for our 5 day trip, but we somehow managed to get a list together, and we were not disappointed! New York really does seem to be the food mecca, even more than San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Here's an overview of our itinerary with quick first impressions. I'll blog more about the details of each place in individual posts. :)
Day 1-3 accommodations: Roosevelt Hotel - Old hotel, but near Grand Central
Day 1:
Food:
Day 2:

Day 3-5 accommodations: Element by Westin Times Square - Modern, eco friendly hotel - our kind of hotel :)
Day 3:
Food: Ippudo - Solid but expensive ramen!
Day 4:
Food:
Shake Shack (Madison Square Park) - Nice outdoor space, but lots of crazy & aggressive squirrels
Wafels and Dinges - I still prefer SF's waffle mania truck
Activities: Eataly
Day 5:
Food: Kyotofu - Order the tofu dessert!
