We can't tell if it's the best in the city, but one thing is sure, that bagel was super good and we will have it again on our next visit!

The largest Chinatown of New York City is in Flushing, Queens. Totally worth of the culinary trip. Be sure to visit New World Mall’s food court. For the dumplings, head to the Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. Anthony Bourdain was here too, that explains the lines.

Chinatown at its finest. No frills, classic chinatown spot. Cram yourself into this joint and slug down a beer before gorging on classics. My advice:Get the shrimp wonton soup regardless of how hot it is outside. And the beef noodles. And the duck over rice.

This might be my favorite square in Queens. My favorite pizza here is the “grandma” slice or pie.If Louie’s were in Manhattan, it would have press out the wazoo and lines down the block, but it’s in a part of Queens better known for amazing Thai food, so it flies somewhat under the radar. My favorite pizza here is the “grandma” slice or pie. Get a pie, so you have some to take home with you (it freezes well and reheats even better). This might be my favorite square in Queens. Louie also serves an array of non-pizza dishes, which admittedly I haven’t explored that much, but I’ve heard the ribeye steak is a sleeper hit here.
