New York is probably the city where more foods are mixed to create other ones, have you realized? And every invention causes furor and lines – just remember Cronut, mixing between croissant and donut, created by chef Dominique Ansel, which led people to lines at 6 am! It’s insane, I know, but it makes everything more fun – and it causes more public interest. Since cronut, there were many inventions and today I bring 5 new delicious to experience the city – many of them fruit of a mix of existing things.
