“In downtown Manhattan, you can find respectable-looking office workers in expensive suits, hastily eating Chinese noodles from paper boxes. They simply don’t have time to sedately enjoy a business lunch in nearby establishments,” the author notes.

That's why fast food trucks and all kinds of portable street food carts can be found everywhere in New York City. Moreover, unlike street food in Asian countries, here the chance of getting poisoned is minimal, the author assures.

In this publication you will find the most popular street foodthat "attract hungry tourists and residents of the city with clubs of exciting flavors."

1. Pretzel. This legacy of German settlers is one of the symbols of the Big Apple. Both locals and hungry tourists, having walked around famous attractions, greedily eat a hot, crispy bagel with large salt crystals. “It seems to me that in the center there are about 5 such points (where you can buy a pretzel - Ed.), and everyone is doing brisk business,” notes the author.
2. Hot dog popular for being the cheapest option for a filling meal in Manhattan. A hot dog in its minimum configuration costs only $2. You can buy it, for example, at the entrance to Central Park - there is a trailer from the cult diner Nathan's Famous, which sells President Roosevelt's favorite hot dogs. “They say he even ordered them for the Yalta Conference!” - writes the author.
3. Halal. Halal, halal - “everything that is permitted and permissible in Islam.” Most often this concept is used to refer to food that is properly prepared and permitted for Muslims. There are trailers where you can buy it all over New York. “Lately I see them even more often than others. Such stalls are run by people from Egypt and Bangladesh. The menu includes several types of sandwiches, variations on the theme of our shawarma, and rice with meat,” the author explained.
4. Lobster roll - this, according to the author, is a purely New York delicacy. “The city is located on the ocean, and the catering here offers a lot of local seafood dishes. Juicy lobster meat, seasoned with spices and lime juice, served in a soft bun - delicious... It’s useless to describe it – you have to try it,” the author shares. True, such pleasure is not cheap - $12-14.
5. Pizza. In New York, its own pizza culture has emerged - from a very thin crusty dough that allows you to fold a piece in half and deftly use it on the go. Moreover, New Yorkers believe that it is their city - the world capital of this Italian dish, once brought by immigrants.
