Exploring NoLIta: Brunch at Estela
Knowing that I had limited time in the city, I schemed and plotted to ensure that I hit as many of the best restaurants as possible. I find that as I travel more frequently, I am able to tweak my "foodie reconnaissance". After perusing the World's 50 Best List and Michelin Guide, I usually narrow down the heavy hitters. Can you believe that there are 72 restaurants that received Michelin stars in 2017?
Pizza.
The word alone can start a craving. It’s one of those rare foods that’s universally adored yet endlessly open to interpretation. Classic Margherita? A forever mood. Pineapple-on-pizza drama? Still sparking debates at dinner tables worldwide. But no matter where you land on toppings, pizza is the culinary equivalent of a warm hug: crispy crust, rich sauce, gooey cheese, and that perfect bite that makes everything right in the world.
