A Seaport, le paradis des foodies
French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, star of New York cuisine for thirty years, opened the Tin Building last fall. His lair is housed in a former fish market closed for years in Manhattan’s Old Harbor, in the shadow of the famous Brooklyn Bridge.
A spectacular and gourmet place that has something to cheer up post-pandemic foodies: no less than 5,000 square meters, six gourmet restaurants, six fast food outlets, four bars, a bakery, flower, candy and meat markets , fish… There is something for all tastes and all budgets.
A tribute to New York’s culinary eclecticism, it celebrates flavors from all over the world, in a happy mix of styles, moving from the counter offering the classic American breakfast egg sandwiches to Mexican tacos, after a detour to the oyster bar and seashells…
As a family, it is the guarantee of satisfying everyone, and of unearthing delicacies to taste on the spot or to take away to stroll on the neighboring quays.
For a more bistronomic stopover, our choice stops at The Frenchman’s Dougha typical New York Italian restaurant and its already famous Limone pizza, with ricotta and fontina cheeses topped with slices of lemon.
Vegetarians will find what they are looking for on the inventive menu Seeds & Weeds.

A marine stopover in Tribeca
From the first step placed on the deck of this old fishing schooner moored at the quay, the charm operates. The view is magical: the One World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty in the distance and the sunset behind the buildings of Hoboken.
Inspired by the floating oyster barges that lined Manhattan’s waterfront in the 1800se and XIXe centuries, this oyster bar serves beautiful plates of oysters and delicious cocktails, in a relaxed atmosphere providing the feeling of being on vacation.

Chinatown’s Japanese Surprise
Chinatown is a must, but be careful not to enter a random restaurant. Push the door of Dr. Clark instead, who is… Japanese! Cool minimalist interior decor, honey wood walls, bouquets of dried plants above the bar.
On the plates, the cuisine comes straight from Hokkaido: a dozen lamb specialties including jingisukan, marinated lamb barbecue, bean sprouts and onions. But also excellent sashimi and sea urchins. The plate of dried, sweet and smoked salmon, a specialty of the indigenous Ainu communities, will remain as one of the best salmon you have tasted, accompanied by an ice-cold Sapporo beer.
After dinner, let yourself be tempted by a karaoke or a nightcap at the River, their retro bar next door.

The Hispanic touch of the High Line
After a walk on the High Line green corridor, a break is essential at the Mercado Little Spain (10, Hudson Yards, NY 10001) for take-out tapas, legendary flautas (thin baguettes with tomato, serrano, manchego) and churros for dessert.
A Mediterranean break at Jack’s Wife Freda
Burgers, chicken wings, fries, but also kebabs, courgette aioli chips, shakshuka eggs: the street food menu, with a Mediterranean twist for dishes to share without fuss in a lively atmosphere, will delight young and old. We recommend the halloumi, grilled cheese with fresh grapes.
The brand has spread to West Village, Chelsea, Union Square and Williamsburg, but we particularly like the one in Soho, with its large south-facing terrace.
