My top 11 most Instagrammable places to eat in New York City
Milk & Cream Cereal Bar
Did someone say ice cream mixed with cereal? Go with an empty stomach and keep your camera handy before it melts/ you eat it all in excitement. Because believe me, it tastes as good as it looks.
Top Tip: Avoid during the weekends on hot days as this place gets packed!
Tacombi
Every day is #tacotuesday at Tacombi and this is by far one of my favourite Instagrammable places to eat in New York.
In this traditional Mexican eatery, you will be spoilt for choice of authentic Mexican food. Take a few shots up at the bar before getting a table and ordering food because it’s just too cute not to.
Avocado Appetit Cafe
Oh, Avocado how I love thee.
What could be better than a smashed Avocado on toast?
I know what. A whole cafe dedicated to our favourite little green superfood, that’s what.
Oh, and did I mention how frickin cute it is?
Want my unicorn t-shirt?
Black Seed Bagels
Did someone say Canadian bagels in NYC?
Yep, that’s right no need to go to Montreal for your bagel fix just head to Soho and check out Black Seed Bagels.
Delicious!

Final Thoughts
I hope this list has provided you with plenty of insta inspiration for your next trip to New York City. Not only are these my favourite Instagrammable places to eat in New York, but they are all just great places to eat! It’s one of the things I love most about New York, eating haha. If you aren’t planning to do a food tour in New York, you need to!
Living in New York City and want to find someone to enjoy these Instagramable places with? I recently discovered a fun new app called OneRoof app. OneRoof makes it super easy to meet people with similar interests living in your building. How cool is that? So often we don’t know our neighbours, but your new best friend could be closer than you think. The app helps you to build new friendships and so much more! Communication should go further than a nod in the elevator.
OneRoof app is a fun way to:
- Buy and sell items from each other
- Organize dog play dates
- Ask a neighbor to dog-sit
- Find a gym buddy
- Attend board game nights
- Do clothing swaps
- Organize events
- Offer your services such as dog walking or watering plants
- Exchange/recommend books
- Arrange road trips
- Explore cool things to do in the city together
- Create an outdoor cookout
- Meet for neighbour movie nights
Big thanks to my favorite NYC-based bloggers and Instagrammers for being a part of this post make sure you check out their blogs!

NYC Travel Guide Planning
🚗 Where can I book bus or private transportation?
I recommend Bookaway You can find lots of different transportation available!
🎫 Where can I buy tickets for museums, attractions, and tours?
I recommend either Viator or GetYour Guide. They have a lot of options!
👩⚕️ What is the best insurance to have while traveling?
I recommend using Heymondo for a great value policy. The app also offers you 24/7 Dr Chat. For Digital Nomads check out SafetyWing digital nomad insurance.
I have also written a blog post covering all my recommended travel insurance here
✈️ Any flight recommendations?
WayAWay offers you cheap flights with cashback. You can use this code CLAIRE22 to get 10% off. Otherwise Skyscanner or Expedia are my go-to flight searching platforms.
📱What do you use for internet connection while traveling?
I’m a big fan of personal WiFi devices and they have saved my ass so many times when traveling. I wrote a full review of the top travel WiFi devices you can read here. I personally use GlocalMe as I can either pop in a physical sim card or use their local carrier.
With regards to my phone connection, I use e-sims while traveling, so rather than having to swap out my regular sim card I can download the app and buy a virtual sim card. I recommend using eitherAirhub or Alosim. Both have great coverage of multiple countries and are very easy to use.
🛏️ What is the best platform to use for booking accommodation?
The 3 best platforms that I normally use are Booking.com, Hotels.com, and Expedia They offer great deals and multiple options. I always check all three to be sure of the best deals.
🛅 Do you have any luggage recommendations for traveling?
I do have a complete list of the best packing and luggage products that I recommend, you can check the list here. I’m currently traveling with this suitcase and this backpack.
