In 2025, I have tried many different restaurants and had meals I absolutely loved. From breakfast-dinner I had over 200 restaurant and fast food meals. With these meals, I have tried a majority of food types such as Mexican, American, and French food.
Pressed Açai Bowls:
A hidden gem located in NYC and Greenwich. Whenever I stroll up the street of Greenwich Ave I make it a priority to stop by Pressed and get my favorite açai bowl for breakfast or even for lunch. Out of all of the smoothie bowls on the menu, the Original Acai Bowl never fails to satisfy my tastebuds. Topped with bananas, blueberries, granola and honey it all mixes together perfectly and is by far my favorite acai bowl.
Dave’s Hot Chicken Sliders:
Whenever it’s been a long day at Hackley and I’m craving crispy chicken tender sandwiches I go to Daves Hot Chicken in White Plains just a 10 minute drive from Hackley. They are famous for their spicy level chicken tenders ranging from no spice to reaper. Each slider has coleslaw, pickles, a chicken tender and the bun. The #3 combo with one slider and one tender is by far my favorite and goes so well with their iconic sauce.
Lafayette Bakery Crossaints:
You may have seen this bakery on your FYP. The one croissant that sells out every day and people are raving about. They have chocolate, pistachio, maple pecan in the winter and raspberry in the spring and summer. My favorite is the raspberry one by far. The raspberry cream in the middle is so fresh and tastes so heavenly, and the crisp shell and soft inside of the croissant. When in NYC stop by this bakery and arrive early, don’t be too late!
Taco project quesadillas:
Taco Project is by far one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in NY. Whenever I can get my hands on Taco Project I usually get the steak quesadillas and their guacamole. The steak quesadillas always surpass my expectations. They are filled with an even ratio of steak to cheese and also goes great with their famous guacamole.
Chipotle bowl:
Chipotle is an excellent Mexican fast food restaurant. It’s very popular amongst teens and overall I think it’s worth the hype. In my bowl I usually get lettuce, tomatoes, corn, cheese, steak, rice, and guacamole. Everything pairs together perfectly and everytime I take a bite a firework goes off in my heart.
