Bibble & Sip (Midtown West, New York, New York)

Posted on by

I just made it into New  York and wanted to meet up my sister-in-law as she got off of work around the corner. We stopped by Bibble & Sip, her local coffee and snack joint. The coffee is delicious! My usual is the Americano, but the most amazing little treat was the Earl Grey cream puff. I love Earl Grey desserts! This cream puff is lightly crispy on the inside and the earl grey cream was cold, refreshing, and fragrant. I loved it. There’s nothing to NOT like so just try it!

Note: The coffee places super small so it’s not the best place to study or sit for a while. It’s best for on-the-go or a quick snack.

Los Tacos No. 1 (Meatpacking District, New York, NY)

Posted on by

I’ve done a little traveling from coast to coast, north to south and have an experienced tongue for tacos. Los Tacos No. 1 is definitely highly ranked in my book. There’s a pretty long line on this Sunday at 2 o’clock. The line extends way past a neighboring booth, but moves super quickly…

Once you’re done with ordering, the cashier hands you a ticket that you had to one of the taco artisans and your tacos are promptly made. We ordered the Adobado (Marinated Pork) on Corn Tortilla. The corn tortillas are made in house and are so fresh! Who would’ve thought that one of the best and freshest tacos could be in NYC? The taco came already topped, but there are sides that you could dress with: pico de gallo, verde, dried chili peppers, lime, etc. The tacos are fairly small so be sure to order an extra taco more than you normally would eat. The meat was so moist and flavorful and I loved the sauce that came with the Adobado. So good…

My one regret is not ordering more…

Stein’s Market & Deli (Magazine St., New Orleans)

NYC deli in NOLA? It exists…with a touch of local flare, of course! Walking in, you can already feel the New York City vibe…NY paraphernalia, assortment of Italian items, and we can’t forget the deli…

Market area. 


NY Wall!


Deli Aisle.


Potato Salad.


Roast Beef Special. Cold Roast Beef. Swiss. Cole Slaw. Rye Bread w/ Russian Dressing.

The Coleslaw was SO goood…..glad it came on both sandwiches!


Pastrami on Rye Bread. The pastrami was thin and crispy on the outside and deliciously savory on the inside. Loved it! I haven’t tried the corned beef yet, but I’ll save that for next time.


Local Zapps Sweet Potato Chips and Zero Calorie Root Beer.  Didn’t care too much for these two. The chips were a little stale, but I believe that’s just how sweet potato chips usually are. They don’t hold much of a crisp. As for the root beer, you could tell it had zero calories…and by that, I mean not good. Although these side items were a little so-so, the overall meal was great!

Truly authentic NY deli…Eating here reminded me of my trip to NYC and eating at Carnegie Deli minus the 40 minute wait. The space is a bit tight, but there’s enough tables for people to dine in.

Will I return again? I already have. After this visit, I even returned yesterday to try the Turkey Panini and it was delicious. Not your ordinary Turkey panini…great depth of flavors in such an ordinary menu item. It’s obvious that every element here is made in house…sauces, pickles, and especially the deli meat.

If you’re looking for a place with delicious sandwiches, this is the place…Stein’s Market & Deli, you have my vote for Top 5 Sandwich Spots in the city!
