A Taste of New York at Tripfilms02/07/2008 17:02, by TF_Tony in Tripfilms Blog |
In the midst of New York’s Winter Restaurant Week (which ends on Friday, February 1), we pause to pay tribute to the gastronomic highlights of the greatest city on earth. Not from New York? Hint: you don’t have to be here during Restaurant Week to experience world-class eating.
No one knows that better than Tripfilms filmmaker Alexei Kaleina, who spotlights two of New York’s most no-fuss taste sensations: burgers and pizza. Looking for an easy, tasty meal you can’t find in any city in America? Hit up Dumpling Man on St. Mark’s: there are more than 200 ways to make dumplings, and this East Village staple has figured out the best. Or skip the restaurant entirely and savor New York’s street food: watch The Amateur Gourmet sample a mouth-watering variety of options.
More interested in the inner workings of New York cuisine? Watch Daniel Baer’s ode to Sullivan Street Bakery and its hours-long baking process (it begins pre-4am); you’ll never take the bread basket on your table for granted again. Or gain some insight into the origins of the Union Square Farmer’s Market’s impressive roster of regional food vendors.
And because no deep-dive into a city’s cuisine is complete without dessert, we recommend you watch New Yorker Jennifer Redfearn’s spotlight on Jacques Torres, a French chocolatier who seems only too delighted to call himself “the New York Willy Wonka.” It’s a sweet ending to a hearty menu of Tripfilms.
