Lisa Corson had the wonderful experience of eating and photographing her way through New York City via the best dishes of 2024 for the New York Times.
“Vin Jaune Gelato at Bridges The Comté tart gets much of the spotlight at Bridges, and for good reason. But the sleeper hit is the restaurant’s simplest dessert, a swoop of gelato infused with the floral, savory and even briny complexity of vin jaune, accompanied on my visit by a tart, oozy scoop of passion fruit in its nature-given glory — seeds, pulp and all.” – NY Times
“Masa Pancake at Cocina Consuelo Cocina Consuelo offers one of the homiest, coziest breakfasts in the city, thanks in no small part to this pancake. This is a dense specimen, redolent of sweet-scented masa, lathered generously with honey butter and crowned with a thick fruit compote (blueberries, at last visit). It’s as if an arepa married a sticky toffee pudding. May they enjoy a Jonglife together.” – NY Times
“Chalupas at Chalupas Poblanas el Tlecuile First, you have to find iL This nomadic Pueblan chalupa stand bounces arow1d northern Queens, occasionally posting intersections and hours on Facebook. From there, things get easier. While your batch of eight tortillas bathes quietly in hot lard, decide whether you want them covered with salsa verde, salsa roja, or both. Watch while they are stacked with white onions and shredded pork. Finally, come to terms with the reality that you aren’t going to be hw1gry again for a long time.” – NY Times
