DALLAS BBQ RESTAURANT REVIEW

This is a favorite due to the super-cheap humongous meals, made up mostly of grilled or fried or barbecued meat and foot-high plates of pounds of fried accompaniments, and giant sized multi-colored drinks to wash it all down. Usually get the chicken and rib combo to share with one other person, then each get a Texas sized drink.

Can never go wrong with the giant frozen beverages with an extra shot of whatever goes in there. The food is good and affordable

NEW YORK STREET FOOD

For a quick tasty street snack you can rest assured there is a yellow and blue umbrella just about on every corner certainly this is the truth around time square. Anywhere else I would recommend avoiding street vendor food at all costs but here in NYC it’s a definite treat.

Actually one of my favorite things about New York has been the street food. When I visit I don't even eat in many restaurants because I love it so much. There's nothing like the smell of grilling kebabs. New York hot dogs are also excellent. In the winter you can get roasted chestnuts. My personal favorites are the carts that sell Middle Eastern food. So if you're in New York and you're hungry try out one of the carts when you walk by!
