The end of summer is rapidly approaching but there are still some adventures to be had! Gobbl suggests buying a one day metro card and traveling the boroughs for some of the best that the so-called “Empire State” has to offer.
Breakfast - Egg
The lines may be long, but the wait is worth it, say fans of the Williamsburg staple Egg. It’s easy to forget an hour long wait for a table once you take a bite of their amazing french toast. Wash that down with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, and make sure you try the biscuits and gravy, a dish that’s often difficult to find in New York. A breakfast at Egg is the perfect way to wake up on a sleepy Saturday morning, and prepare for a day of gastro-traveling.
Egg 135 N. 5th Street, Brooklyn
Lunch - De Mole
The search for good Mexican in New York is an arduous and neverending one. But if you’re willing to travel to a relatively deserted area of Woodside, Queens, De Mole will be more than satisfying. The food here is authentic, but the service and ambience is much better than most others (even the restaurants in Mexico!). The moderately-priced burritos, enchiladas, and tamales are delicious. Best of all: you don’t need a passport and plane to get here quickly, just a Metrocard and the 7 train. Take note that this restaurant doesn’t have a full liquor license–make sure to bring a bottle of tequila so your server can make you a margarita.
De Mole 4502 48th Avenue, Queens
