As a west-coaster, your description of the food is exactly what makes me keep my east-coast trips to an absolutely minimum. There are a short list of survivable restaurants, but even the grocery stores are depressing.
- malvosenior 9y agoIt’s true. As a west coaster who lived in NY for years I found the “classic” NY food to be pretty gross honestly. The most pined about pizza and bagels are greasy and bland respectively. It’s a cliche at this point for West coasters to not get what the big deal is and you were downvoted as expected (as I will be), but I suspect it’s out of lack of exposure to west coast food more than greatness of NY food. Dinners and pizza are hardly worthy of discussion let alone praise. You are not alone but the East coast has the media to promote their cuisine hence its dominance and over representation in US culture.
