Having a bit of a New York evening on Saturday to commemorate the 20th anniversary - It's a place i've always been incredibly fond of (visited for the first time in 1999) and was there 5 years ago for my partners 40th

Looking for suggestions as to what food best represents the city as going to put a together a little platter of things - Thought about making some Reuben's (visited the now gone Carnegie Deli when were last there) but struggling to think of what else

Eggs Benedict for breakfast. Or a bagel with cream cheese and lox.

That’s a great idea!
Maybe some of the classic New York pretzels and some Manhattan clam chowder.
Cheesecake and black and white cookies for dessert.
When I go back to NY to visit my parents, my first two stops for food are the bagel place and my favorite pizza place for Grandma slices and Sicilian slices.
Can’t find anything like it down here

Thanks mate - I'd forgotten about the clam chowder, think i'll do that as a starter

I've seen a couple of websites mention the black and white cookies, but across all my trips there i've never encountered one!

Cheers - The bagel is definitely going on the menu too

New York City Black and White Cookies Recipe - Food.com

Look to the cookie. These cake-style cookies are a staple in New York City. Growing up we used to buy these all the time and you can still get them

www.google.com

This looks to be a good recipe if you’re thinking of baking some.

The average BBQ in KC is above average

also, I have learned in the past year that brits call any food that is cooked outside “bbq.” [Poor language removed] that [Poor language removed], it ain’t bbq.

I've never heard of candy corn, but if I had, my first thought wouldn't be that they tasted of vegetables, turkey, apple pie or coffee.

Standard candy corn is awful, but I can’t imagine this is an improvement

What is it ? A kind of sweet ?

What is it ? A kind of sweet ?

It's basically sugar formed into the shape of a kernel of corn. There is something very artificial about it.

Cheers, so they're flavoured sugar, doesn't sound very appetising.

Well put.
Also has the consistency of a wax crayon

It's marmite of the candy world.
