Keste Pizzeria | NYC

If you're going on a pizza tour in NYC -how fun does that sound!- you best make sure you stop at Keste. My friend Rich told me about this pizzeria; he went with a chef friend who was doing some research on the best pizza in the city. Now, it's Rich's go-to spot for pizza. That's saying a lot, he's an avid foodie that just happens to live a block away from Lombardi's... Anyways, back to Keste. They have a sick oven in the back - all the pizzas are made fresh to order. I can't even type this whole blog post without acknowledging the pizza craving I have right now... All I want is the buratta pizza! Take me back!

Little Pie Company | NYC

Breakfast pies!

The only time Claudia and I found time for our pie was first thing in the morning... You see, we had quite the check-list of foodie spots to try for the 2 nights I was staying with her. They say to never skip breakfast, so pie was the decision for our perfect first meal for our second day. Fruits in the morning are good for you, right? I thought so ;)

Burger Battle

Speaking of the East Coast/West Coast [burger] battle in my last post, check out this link :: The First Bi-Coastal Side-by-Side Taste Test with Shake Shack, Five Guys & In-N-Out

Shake Shack

Finally!

After much wait, I can now say I've eaten at the famous NY "roadside burger stand", Shake Shack. Claudia and I went to the original one in Madison Square Park. We were immediately greeted by a long line of locals, tourists and pretty much everyone in between at what seemed to be a neighborhood fixture. I thought New Yorkers were always on the go... Quick, fast, quick! Not here. Everyone was happily enjoying the sunshine and greenery in that afternoon line.

I remember asking people what was "so good" about Shake Shack, and they would always tell me it was the equivalent of In N Out. So now I get it, it's pretty much the same novelty. Honestly, I think the battle of In N Out vs Shake Shack is probably comparable to an East Coast/West Coast battle. They're both delicious (or in the other case, great cities)... But as usual, you do have one favorite ;)

Before Aileen and I reunited in Miami, our last meal was at Mac Bar in NYC about year ago [here]. Le Tub was our first meal together since then – we do pretty well for our foodie reunion dates don’t we? ;)

Downtown Miami :: Food Trucks

So I thought food trucks were only a LA/NYC thing... Wrong!

It looks like Miami has caught on to the meals on wheels as well. Aileen, Andrew and I made it downtown and checked out the food truck buffet, if you will. There was a total of 15 -give or take- to choose from... And as much as we wanted to try it all, there was no way our tummy's could handle it. We did our best to pick and choose the "specialties" of a few trucks. I took pictures, but with it being evening time and forcing me to use the flash - I'll keep them to myself aka my i.photo album. Below are just a couple shots of the trucks in Miami :)
