Bounty of Bagels from Bageltown of Levittown
Here is the motherload of bagels, bialis, and onion pockets we brought home from NY. Every variety you could think of and the car smelled amazing on the drive home with these goodies loaded in the ride.
Crazy good desserts from Dortoni's
The Cinnamon Raisin bread is much more than that. In addition to the Cinnamon Raisin, you have this apple pie filling running through it, chunks of brown sugar, and the sugar glaze on top. It is sick and I could have eaten the whole thing. The Cannoli's were excellent as well and came in various flavors.

El Gauchito Argentinean Steakhouse in Queens, NY
The #4 meat combo at El Gauchito Argentinean Steakhouse in Queens, NY.
Wasn't feeling like too big of a meal, so I dialed it back off my usual
experience. It's a short rib, a chorizo (not a Spanish chorizo), and a
piece of skirt steak--I ordered the second chorizo. Nothing but beef and
salt on that place, aside from the pepperoncini. If you ever visit NYC,
this place is definitely worth the schlep. I highly recommend the mixed
grill, the entrana (16 oz. skirt steak), the vacio (16-18 oz. flank) or, for
lighter fare, the #4 combo. Do it on the last night of your trip
however--it's a butcher shop first, restaurant second. If you like what you
ate, go to the butcher counter, tell them you're visiting, place your order,
and they'll pack it for your trip home--even try to put a quick freeze on it
if there's enough time. Just don't expect fancy decor or good sides--you're
there for one reason and they know it better than you do.
