What I look forward to the most when I visit New York City is the food. Here are eight food stops that I highly recommend if you visit the city.
1.) The Coop Restaurant and Bar

Whoever said Buffalo has the best wings clearly hasn't tried The Coop. Located in Flushing, Queens this Korean restaurant uses the most organic source of ingredients. Their chickens are raised from a nearby local farm in a free range environment, restricted from hormones that promote abnormal growth, and don't contain antibiotics, according to their website.
They have a range of Korean dishes, a wide variety of wines and spirits and they have two types of wings: soy garlic for those who don't favor the spice, and, of course, spicy. Fan of both? Why not order half and half? I ordered the soy garlic and it was so crispy, succulent, and full of flavor. These are hands down, the best, so the next time you head to the city, take the 7 train all the way up to Flushing and stop by The Coop. Bok Bok Buffalo!
2.) La Devozione

3.) Los Tacos No. 1

Pick your choice of tortilla (corn or flour), then your meat (carne asada, pollo asado, or adobada). All tacos are served with guacamole, cilantro, onions and salsa. Going with a vegetarian? Have them try the nopal plate, which comes with cactus, beans, and cheese. 4.) Boon Chu Thai Street Food |

Located in New World Mall in Flushing, this restaurant's portions are so large that it can serve two. I am certain that anything on their menu is delicious, but I highly recommend the Pad Kaprow over rice, which is minced chicken with chili and basil. Don't forget the Pad Thai!
5.) Chinese Korean Dumplings

7.) Doughnuttery

Yum! This has got to be one of my favorite dessert stops in NYC. The mini doughnuts are freshly fried, hot and coated in the flavor of your choice. Decisions, decisions. You can go for the seasonal flavors, powdered sugar, sugar, or plain just to name a few. If you're going to place an order, I highly recommend that you order at least a dozen because if you order the 6-pack, I can guarantee you'll be wanting more. Say goodbye to that 6-pack! Get it?
8.) Taipan Bakery

Two words: pineapple bun. That's all I have to say. Yum.
