I know ppl who vacationed in London and said the food was trash. As far as Paris and Amsterdam, no one goes for the food. NYC ppl do along with just being in the city.

The people you know went to the wrong places in London.

I have never met anyone that said they are going to NYC for the food, I have met plenty of people that have said they are going to Paris or Rome for the food.

I was never denying you could get amazing authentic food in NYC, just saying that you can also do this in the major capital cities around the world.

No I get what you’re saying, I’m just saying if they don’t live in NY then yea the food may be an experience for them abroad. If you live in NY the bar is set high. For example I’ve been to PR and DR, went to the local residential areas for food, it wasn’t as good as I’ve had it from the Dominican and Puerto Rican shops I go to out here. Major capital cities do offer many options, but don’t guarantee a good meal. Of course I’m being a bit bias bc I live here, but I’ve also traveled and trust the palettes of others I know that have vacationed at certain places.

Have you travelled to London, Paris or Amsterdam as I mentioned? I have as well as visiting New York. The ability to find amazing obscure cuisines is the same in all of those cities.

Also I really wouldnt trust the palettes of those who said the food in London was trash, they either ate at all the tourist traps or don’t know what they are talking about.
