Another day, another post of Manhattan food.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

BonChon<\/p><\/div>\n

BonChon 20 “wings” plate. I’d say they are more like drumettes. Sorry Bay Area, but this is Korean Fried Chicken done right.<\/p>\n

I went to the one on East Village and split 20 soy garlic ones with a friend. The sauce and texture are as good as they’re known for. Apparently they have a happy hour from 4-7pm for all you can eat wings…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Absolute Bagels<\/p><\/div>\n

I thought this was part of Upper West Side (UWS), but apparently it’s so far up North that it’s considered Manhattan Valley on Yelp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bagel Spreads<\/p><\/div>\n

Don’t be surprised – I went for the Bacon & Cheddar cream cheese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Garlic Bagel with Bacon & Cheddar cream cheese<\/p><\/div>\n

I decided to try the Garlic instead of Everything. Not so apparent in this picture, but size-wise, Absolute Bagels is a bit smaller than other bagel shops.<\/p>\n

This bagel pictured was toasted and was a lot harder (stiffer?) than I would have liked. The cream cheese spread, as you can see, is pretty ridiculous in it’s own right. The giant chunks of cheddar and bacon visually overpower the cream cheese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hello Kitty<\/p><\/div>\n

Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but I went back to the halal cart<\/a>. This would be the 2nd time within a few days. On the way to the cart, I took the scenic route and came across the Lever House<\/a>. Seeing a large Hello Kitty, I had no choice but to stop for a moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Brooklyn White Castle<\/p><\/div>\n

Coming from the west coast, I had to give White Castle a try. They have all sorts of retro posters, some proclaiming White Castle as part of a balanced diet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Double Cheeseburgers<\/p><\/div>\n

OK, so it is fast food after all. Fast food tends to be cheap, fast, and unhealthily tasty. White Castle was none of these for me. I mean, I would expect it to be tasty (by fast food standards) and not much more. I only had two of these sliders, and I can’t imagine “grabbing a sack” of these to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
