As a foodie with an interest in art and fashion, I’m constantly on the hunt for the best food and drink spots, art museums and the ultimate shopping destinations. When looking for inspiration, I always trust recommendations from friends above all. With Nova Circle it’s now a breeze to find new places that are in tune with what I like, from those I trust.

Love this app! As a foodie myself, living in NYC with endless options - ”where should we eat/go for drinks today?” is a constant question. l always trust recommendations from friends more than anything and with Nova Circle it’s so easy to find new places that are genuinely good, recommended by all the people I trust.

An international flair in Brooklyn

In Brooklyn, many innovative places pop up each year. Artisanal pizza joints and vegan cafes sit side by side with old-school Italian trattorias. The borough is also home to some of the best spots to enjoy international dishes like hand-pulled noodles and spicy tandoori chicken.

Buffalo wings in Buffalo

Moving upstate, Buffalo is famous for its spicy, tangy chicken wings, a must-eat at local bars and pubs during game night.

Frequently asked questions – reviews restaurant New York State

The state is known for its broad array of food choices, but certain dishes stand out as particularly iconic. In NYC, you should try a bagel, often served with cream cheese, and New York-style pizza. Additionally, the black and white cookie, a sweet, frosted treat, is a quintessential New York snack.

One cannot mention New York without highlighting the New York-style cheesecake. For a savory option, the classic deli sandwich, particularly pastrami on rye, is another staple, perfect as a quick lunch break or a relaxed dinner. Or why not enjoy it outdoors in a park, beyond the hectic city streets.

NYC is famous for its street food, with hot dogs and pretzels standing out as the perfect quick eats. If you are exploring the streets, particularly in areas like the East Village, you will find food trucks offering everything from halal gyros to new fusion dishes.

The cost can vary widely depending on the setting. From small, cozy bars in the East Village to high-end restaurants that opened their rooftop doors post-pandemic, there is something for every budget. Street food and takeout can be relatively inexpensive, while dining at a fine restaurant or wine bar, particularly during an evening out, might be on the pricier side.

The customary tipping rate is generally 15-20% of the total bill. This is especially appreciated in NYC's restaurants where the staff work hard to provide excellent service despite a hectic setting.
