I’ve done two other posts in this style here on the blog – you can check out part 1 here and part 2 here – and today I present you part 3, with 7 more delights to try during your stay in New York.
Chocolate pizza, Max Brenner – Max Brenner is a already a touristic place, but it deserves your visit anyway because it is a chocolate’s paradise! The menu includes salty plates too, but the place is famous because of the amount of chocolate-based delights: desserts, fondue, drinks… Chocolate pizza is delicious and best of all is that you do not have to get a table to try this it, because it is available to go.

Waffles & Dinges – once in New York City, you can miss a waffle from Wafels & Dinges. The brand is famous here and the recipe is irresistible: warm waffle with crunchy crust on the outside and soft inside – and toppings that include flavors like Nutella, chocolate, dulce de leche and even salty as chilli and pork BBQ. Values range from $6 to $9 and Wafels & Dinges works in food trucks in the city.
