    replying to u/crazeman: **Japanese:** [Mamasushi](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vs4xyCBj4B22kFj18) is out of the way in Washington Heights but they have "Dominican Sushi" which may be interesting for you to try. [Patisserie Fouet](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TPQm3y4LYgNG3sHN9) is one of my favorite dessert spots and is definitely a must visit. They're a Japanese-French bakery. They also have a 3 course pre-fixe dessert option. [Patisserie Tomoko](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MrQqr9ULX4pcw5s9A) is also a terrific Japanese-French Bakery in Brooklyn. [Brooklyn Kura](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TPmmJUtNvzxXULSw7) is a Sake Brewery that brews in Brooklyn. They have a taproom and they recently started offering tours during the weekends. There's a "Japan Village" in the building next door but the food will be VERY underwhelming considering you're from Japan lol. I would recommend getting some tacos from the [Tacos el Bronco](https://maps.app.goo.gl/EUGdk7GJUBfULT9T9) a few blocks away instead. Not quite "fusion" but [Katana Kitten](https://maps.app.goo.gl/8uQK7MsBzPS1kQHWA) is a Japanese cocktail bar that's ranked [27th in the world according to some list](https://www.theworlds50best.com/bars/the-list/katana-kitten.html). Might be worth visiting but I thought it was super meh when I visited but I'm not a cocktail expert lol. --- Not a Japanese bar but Double Chicken Please is a cocktail bar that's ranked #2 on the same list. They get hate for being a cocktail bar for people who don't actually like cocktails lol. I thi…

  • in:Being a part of this sub since it’s inception makes me laugh how literally every food report has the exact same spots on them. Hope it becomes more common to venture off the beaten path and find the spots that aren’t on TikTok and eater mag. What’s a non hyped spot you tried lately that you enjoyed?1 pts
    replying to u/MurrayPloppins: Go spend an afternoon in Fort Tryon Park and then make your way down to Broadway for La Cabaña Salvadorena. The pupusas are worth a try, their sancocho de res is awesome, and I also love their tamales.

    replying to u/crazeman: I'd say go for American BBQ. The BBQ spots in NYC isn't really that amazing compared to other places in the US with proper BBQ but I think it's one of the food that's a must try if you are visiting from another country. I'd say go for Hill Country BBQ, they're fairly good and they're in a convenient to reach location. Make sure to get their fatty brisket, which IMO is the best thing on the menu. If you're going to Los Tacos, go to the Chelsea Market location. Chelsea Market is great to explore and walk around. Also Los Taco's sister restaurant, Los Mariscos is right there as well, and they serve more of the seafood variety (ceviche, shrimp tacos, etc). Bring $30 cash and do a [tour of Chinatown's small eats](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/uvejl1/comment/i9li61p/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and you'll eat like a king.
