The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about September 11, 2001 is: “Where were you? What were you doing at that time?”.
New York City changed on that day 10 years ago and the world will never be the same. Our hearts go out the families who lost loved ones on that tragic day and we will always remember the brave firefighters who gave their lives to protect others.
We we'd like to honor New York with what we know best – food.
The cuisine of NYC compromises the cuisines of various ethnic groups. Really it’s the most diverse city and you can find all foods represented there. You name it – Mexican, Jewish, Irish, Italian, Greek, Indian, Caribbean… We could go on and on. What we found most fascinating was the list of food identified with New York City origins:
Manhattan clam chowder – okay that’s not kosher
New York- style cheesecake
New York- style pizza
Strip steak
Italian ice
Egg benedict
Ice cream cone
Lobster Newberg- not kosher either :-)
Doughnut
Delmonico steak
Black and white cookie

I am not sure it is only a New York City Food. However, from my childhood, I connect Manhattan and winter nights with roasted chestnuts! During the winter months, there are stands selling chestnuts which is wrapped in cone shaped paper. Absolutely, delicious!
Definitely pastrami.
i can smell the baked pretzels at the corner food stands...
Potato knishes, boiled ears of corn & hot dogs on the beach at Coney Island or the Rockaways.
pretzels. Only thing is it's not kosher, so I just keep dreaming.
