Today is the day that we're feature main dish foods appropriate for the Super Bowl and so it seems like a good time to look at some of the star foods that come out of New York and explain why they are so vastly superior to those items on offer in the New England area.
Our star representative is New York pizza. It is so very much better than anything available in New England (or really in the rest of the country, but that's another post). One might even say that New York pizza is the Platonic Ideal of pizza. Growing up in Portland, OR we had a pizza place called "Escape from New York Pizza." There was no pizza trying to escape from Boston. Additionally, the premiere pizza site in the blogosphere, the beloved Slice, comes out of New York. Need we say more?
I'm going to turn it over to you, our thoughtful and opinionated Slashfood readers. What are your favorite New York foods?
