PrintNew York Food Anywhere
For New York expatriates or folks who just want to find New York food outside Gotham, New York Food Anywhere is a blog whose mission is to do just that. It's fairly new, so it's a bit short on content, and it doesn't update as frequently as I'd like, but it's got a number of West Coast candidates so far. Pop on over and add your two cents.

This LES Jewish-Italian vision of NY authenticity is really too banal and um ethnocentric. Can somebody please write a musical and throw the carcass to the tourists? I've lived in NY on and off for many years and I can tell you that I've never suffered for want of fried wontons or chicken parmesan, not in New Haven and not in LA. I am thinking about a possible move even now, and it's Evans Farmhouse milk, Fishkill Farms eggs, local oysters at the GCOB, lebneh and freekeh from Kalustyan's, the odd reservation number at Sushi Yasuda and delivery from Moore Brothers that I worry about. These are among the products I associate with New York food (obviously with at least as broad and international a perspective as the op's).
I recognize that there are more takes on NY food than there are mouths and menus but this is egregious synecdoche.

While I agree that the definition of NY food is open for debate I can't help but think my opinions are shared by many. My entire childhood through college was spent in New York and I have spent the past 12 years living elsewhere in country. No matter where I go I find expat New Yorkers who eagerly agree with my desire for what I consider to be, NY comfort food. How else can you explain the countless blogs devoted solely to things like NY pizza, NY bagels and other food I have been writing about. There is even a guy who has a blog devoted to the Black and White cookie! So I encourage you to reminisce about your “ GCOB local Oysters” and while you are doing that I will be eating even better Oysters at Elliott’s Oyster House in Seattle reminiscing about food I really can’t get outside of New York!
