Every food culture. One island.
The world's greatest food city — 18,000 restaurants, 800 languages, and a $1 pizza slice that beats anything Michelin-starred.
Founded by the Dutch as New Amsterdam in 1624 before the British took it in 1664, New York became the primary gateway for U.S. immigration — over 12 million people passed through Ellis Island alone between 1892 and 1954. That immigrant history is why the city's food and neighbourhoods are as layered as they are.
