8 NYC Food Instagrams You Should Follow ASAP
New York City is home to some of the most Instagram-worthy food in the country, because after all: phone eats first. Whether you are an intern in the Big Apple this summer or visiting for a long weekend, the question is always where can you eat like a local? There’s no better way to find out than to scout out the best foodie IGs. Here are some NYC food instagrams to follow:
1. @new_fork_city
@newforkcity has it all, from fried donuts filled with cannoli cream at Catania Bakery Brooklyn to pork belly bao buns from Flip Sigi, this account will not let you down. They have breakfast spots, lunch, dinner and dessert places, so this foodie account never disappoints and has loads of everyday food pics that are guaranteed to make you hungry. This is one of the best NYC food instagrams.
2. @brunchboys
Calling all brunch lovers! This IG is a personal blog that follows the international food adventures of NYC insider, Jeremy Jacobowitz, as he eats around the world and at his favorite spots to brunch in the city. Whether you’re looking for a boozy brunch spot to go to while you are in the city that never sleeps or just to admire some of the most delicious bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, @brunchboys has got you covered. This is another one of the great NYC food instagrams.
3. @nycdessert
Disclaimer: if you have a sweet tooth then this Instagram account may cause intense hunger. Here we have photos of the best treats from famous spots such as Levain Bakery, Magnolia Bakery and Maison Pickle, but also some sweet (pardon the pun) breakfast places where you can get a donut decorated in Fruit Loops or a bacon-topped donut. Sugar, ah honey honey…
4. @feedyourgirlfriend
If you love ice cream and want to see some of the craziest cones the city has to offer, then this is the IG for you. In New York, I scream, you scream, we all scream for things like soft serve shaped like unicorns, gelato that looks like roses and ice cream infused with your favorite cereal. It also features ice cream that might not exist in your hometown such as Bar Pa Tea’s bubble tea soft serve and Burrata (yes like the cheese) soft serve with balsamic caramel from Dominique Ansel Kitchen. Fancy!
5. @supermoonbakehouse
This Lower East Side bakery makes salted caramel and chocolate brioche donuts and just recently did a collab with Halo Top ice cream to make a soft serve peaches and cream cruffins. Follow this account and see the deliciousness to believe it. Yet another one of the best NYC food instagrams.
6. @vegicano
This account is run by 14-year vegan Rudy Ramos who is a chef at the 100% vegan restaurant, Bareburger. Ramos posts pictures of vegan hotdogs, hamburgers, burritos, and even mozzarella sticks, that he either makes or finds at other vegan restaurants around the city. One look at the photos on this account and you may be giving up your meat and dairy ways and joining the vegan trend. No? Well maybe meatless Mondays then. Start small, dream big.
7. @cheeseofnewyork
This is one of the cheesiest Instagram accounts of New York, pun intended. Most of the pictures are of pizza, pasta and grilled cheese sandwiches. Carbs and cheese, what more could you ask for? Wisconsin may be the cheese state, but New York knows its way around melted cheese and this IG knows all about that.
8. @nycfoodgals
With a Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram account, @nycfoodgals will supply you with enough phone eats to ensure that your eyes will never go hungry — and your stomach will want in on the action. These ladies know what time it is when it comes to food. With over 200,000 followers, they are really more like a food news outlet and let’s face it: food news is better than the other kind if ya catch my drift.
Are you hungry yet? I hope so. Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words and when it comes to food, that’s doubly true. So follow these Instas fast, because unlike most things in NYC, it’s free to look. And pictures have no calories unless you act on them. That’s your diet tip of the day!
