We’re at the Jersey Shore this week, which I just called “the beach” growing up down here 😜. Like last September, we rented a small cottage for a week in Ocean Beach: my old stomping grounds, close to lots of family and friends. We’re grilling most nights, but can’t resist all the seafood spots in the area. This generous crab cake sandwich from @crabby_ricks was calling my name! Also got a blackened fish sandwich and spicy crab soup. I have a feeling more crabs will be in our future this week. Who else is holding onto summer this Labor Day? ☀️ #happylaborday #labordayweekend #summervibes #jerseyshore #oceanbeach #njshore #oceancountynj #oceancountytourism #jerseybeaches #crabcake #beacheats #localfood #regionalfood #goexplore #eatyourworld

If you need me today, I’ll be inside avoiding the storm and eating @littlepeppernyc leftovers 🌶🔥🌧 Stay dry + be safe, friends! #sichuanfood #queensfood #queenseats #flushingfood #flushingqueens #collegepoint #littlepepper #eeeeats #nomnomnom #eatqueens #nycfood #foodbeast #foodporn #foodpic #eatupnewyork #forkyeah #nyceats #eatyourworld

Oda’s rice sandwiches (aka onigirazu) always hit the spot, but especially on a hot day! Loved the fried oysters in this one, and the cheerful colors inside. Grateful he’s still around doing his own thing. #jacksonheights #queensfood #queenseats #foodpic #eeeeeats #eatqueens #nycfood #foodporn #forkyeah #feastagram #nyceats #foodbeast #eatupnewyork #onigirazu #japanesefood #goexplore #eatyourworld

Happy Thursday from the Finger Lakes! There’s nothing like spending a few days soaking up the gorgeous farm-meets-lake scenery; tasting the excellent local wines, beers, and ciders; pulling over to buy all the fresh produce; hiking the stunning gorges; and having your own (temporary) dock on Cayuga Lake to appreciate the great beauty of New York state. Check out our stories + highlights for more from this beautiful region. We’ve seen so much of our state in the past year-plus, and there’s so much more to check out! Not sponsored—just feeling the NY love. Pictured is a delicious flight (and killer view) from @atwaterwine, where we loved the dry Riesling (among other vinos). #ilovenewyork #fingerlakes #cayugalake #senecalake #winetasting #lakelife #lakeviews #newyorkstate #seeyourstate #discoverupny #nywine #goexplore #cheers #eatyourworld

New post up on the site! Project Postre: South American Desserts in Queens, written by @snack.with.sue {LINK IN BIO}🍦🍰🍮 I was happy to find a way to collaborate with Sue, a fellow Queens food Instagrammer, and her #ProjectPostre series lent itself well to a fuller story about Latin American immersion via food in Queens. Sue, whose Indian parents started their U.S. journey in Jackson Heights decades ago, became increasingly drawn to Latin American culture during the pandemic. Exploring South America through its desserts as found in Queens is just one way to travel through our incredible borough. And it’s a fun (and delicious) trip! Pictured above are Peruvian picarones, rainbow cookies from an Argentine bakery, Uruguayan chajá, and Bolivian api ice cream. Check the link for the full story, and follow @snack.with.sue for more fun local finds! (All photos courtesy of Sue.)

A recent sampling of the goods from Belucci Pizza 🍕 There's lots to try here, and it's all delicious! Pictured is the Vodka-Roni slice, "Into the Woods" (mushrooms, Gruyère, balsamic red onions), and the plain slice, which uses fresh mozz. Second slide is the $2.75 "subway slice," made even tastier with a side of candied jalapenos (thanks for that tip, @sandwich.therapy!). Definitely plan to return for more soon. I loved the sidewalk tables and the fact that my food-critic kids, who have burned out on run-of-the-mill pizza parties in recent weeks, loved these slices 😂

Twirling into the weekend like 🍝💃 Summer’s been busy and I’ve gotten lazy about posting all the delicious eats! (I do use Stories more often 🤷‍♀️.) But here’s some fantastic pasta we had this week at @viavainyc in Astoria: house-made tonnarelli cacio e pepe and bucatini all’Amatriciana. It was a beautiful meal on a beautiful night outside on their sidewalk. Happy Friday, friends! #italianfood #astoria #viavai #queensfood #queenseats #astoriaqueens #housemadepasta #bucatini #tonnarelli #feedme #eeeeeats #nomnomnom #eaterny #allthecarbs #bestfoodfeed #goexplore #eatsomethingnewinqueens #eatyourworld

This year for spring break, my family and I went to the Delaware River towns of Narrowsburg and Callicoon, NY, in the Sullivan Catskills, about a two-hour drive from NYC. We were blown away by what we found there: gorgeous river scenery, beautiful hikes, incredible food, tons of great local breweries + cideries, and an iconic history, as it's home to the site of the 1969 Woodstock music festival (in nearby Bethel/Swan Lake). I've finally written about all the fun things to do, eat, drink, and see in the area on the site (see link in bio!). And while the post is sponsored, know that these are personal recommendations! See our story highlights from Narrowsburg too for all the same recs (our trip was not sponsored!). We are hoping to visit again soon to take full advantage of the tubing and canoeing on the Delaware. Pictured in this slideshow: breakfast sandwich from @thetustencup, one of the 50+ hand-painted @sullivancatskills doves, margherita from @thelaundrette, @thecatskillbrewery (and another dove), the Narrowsburg bridge, cocktails from @cochectonfirestation, downtown Callicoon (and the terrific @catskillprovisionsny), cyser from @forthrightcyder, viewpoint on the Tusten Mountain Trail, beers at @shrewdfoxbrewery, Ten Mile River, the @woodstock monument at @bethelwoodscenter. #sullivancatskills #sponsored #regionaltravel #newyorkstate #eatlocal #travellocal #drinklocal #delawareriver #summervacation #narrowsburg #callicoon #getaway #goexplore #eatyourworld

We drove through Little Havana only briefly to visit friends in South Beach last week, but it was worth the short detour to snag these amazing croquetas—some ham, some chicken, some codfish—along with Cuban coffees passed through the ventanita of @cariberestaurant_juan. We’ve had some sad, mushy croquetas over the years, and these were not that—perfectly crisp and hot and full of flavor. More from Miami and SE Florida to come (here and on our site)! There’s so much good food to explore in the region. #miamiflorida #cubanfood #littlehavanamiami #littlehavana #croquetas #miamifood #traveltoeat #roadtripfood #localfood #regionalfood #eeeeeats #miamieater #nomnom #goexplore #eatyourworld

New on the site, we have a post of 8 must-try Ghanaian dishes, written by contributor @verostina, and where to find them in Accra (though I suggest you look for these dishes in your local city too!). Find the link in our bio. Generally speaking, Ghanaian cuisine relies upon starchy staple foods made from things like corn, cassava, plantain, or yam that are paired with various vegetable-based soups or stews. Rice, meat, and fish figure in heavily too, as well as ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and hot peppers. Shito, a spicy chili sauce made with dried fish and shrimp, is a popular condiment. There’s a lot of flavor here! Pictured is waakye (from @azmerarestaurant, a spot we recommend in the post), a popular Ghanaian breakfast or lunch, originally from northern Ghana, that’s a mix of rice and beans (red or black-eyed beans) along with sorghum leaves, which gives it its reddish-brown color. (The literal translation of the word is “waachay,” meaning beans.) The meal comes with several other local accompaniments such as gari (made with grated cassava), egg, spaghetti, and sometimes salad, meat, or fish.

Reminder to support a Black-owned business today + every day! This Queens restaurant guide (link in bio) features 80+ eateries and has been updated just this week. Drop us a note or comment if we are missing your favorite in Queens! Also a reminder to remember: Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S., but the impact of slavery continues to pervade our society every day. I highly recommend @antiracismdaily’s excellent newsletter to anyone wanting to get educated and learn specific actions to help dismantle racism. #juneteenth #juneteenth2021 #blackowned #blackownedrestaurants #blackownedqueens #blackownedbusiness #antiracism #supportlocal #queensfood #nycfood #eatyourworld
