Food Capital

New York always offers the best options for dining. The city offers various tastes of seasonal and local cuisine to its visitors. These include restaurants that grow their vegetables on the roof of their buildings or on their own farm in the Upstate, as well as those that source their own meat and seafood from a nearby facility. You can also drink a coffee roasted by a master craftsman, witness and taste the distillation of whiskey into chocolate or cheese making. Bars have also taken their originality to new levels and new style cocktails are served on small serving plates. 'Gastropubs' are among the most ideal places to eat these days.
