If you’re a foodie like me, one of the most exciting elements of planning a trip is the culinary delights to be savoured. And the perfect excuse to overindulge on a few alcoholic tipples. From the balmy evenings sat on a terrace sipping sangria, to that welcome hot toddy fresh off the slopes. Some of my most memorable travels have taken me to NYC’s Manhattan. Having stayed up in the livelier Central Park area in my past travels, I opted for the quainter, quirkier Little Italy on the Lower East Side. For great cocktails and bar food, I’d highly recommend Black Crescent on Clinton Street. Try out the ‘Hot Tropic’ – served warm with whisky and five spice. As a complete wings fiend, I was quickly up to my armpits in buffalo sauce. The wings were juicy, yet crispy and had just the right amount of sauce to get the buffalo hit without drowning in it. Also added the garlic and parm waffle fries – totally yum. Wandering back from Union Market, I stumbled across a little gem. The Jadis wine bar on Rivington Street serves up some gorgeous little plates that I hungrily washed down with their inspired grapefruit rose sangria. My friend and I particularly loved the burrata with vine tomatoes and the roasted beets with goat cheese. Doing my ‘Sex in the City’ bit, I sauntered up to Greenwich Village to sample some of Magnolia Bakery’s finest cupcakes. Walking along Bleecker with pink icing on my top lip, this was one of the nicest little wanders I had. For cake lovers, I went for the Hummingbird cupcake and the famous red velvet for later. There was not time for a sparkly dress dining experience this time around, but I thoroughly enjoyed the little eateries and maybe enjoyed the cocktails a little too much.
