Stage Deli


First on my list is one of the most famous delis in New York City, located on 7th ave. in between 53rd and 54th in Manhattan is the Stage Deli. One of my all-time favorites and also the favorite of at least 35 of NYC’s top celebrities, all of which have their own personal sandwiches on the menu. Some of my top picks on this menu include the legendary RUDY GIULANI #33 (CORNED BEEF AND PASTRAMI TOPPED WITH MUENSTER AND SWISS CHEESE AND FINISHED WITH COLE SLAW AND RUSSIAN DRESSING).  My second favorite would have to be the CONAN O'BRIEN #13 (BRISKET, CORNED BEEF AND SWISS CHEESE.)

White Manna



Next on my list, probably my favorite and most visited on my list, is a cozy little place in Hackensack, NJ called White Manna. White Manna is about the size of a large lunch truck but, in my opinion, is the maker of one of the greatest burgers of all time. These burgers are life changing but don’t try and go there around lunch hour because it’s unlikely that you’ll get your order anytime soon. But it’s not just me that finds these burgers amazing; White Manna has been featured on the Food Network and the Travel Channel on shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and The Best Thing I Ever Ate as well as Man v. Food. If you ever get the chance to go say hello to Joey for me and get my usual order, 6 doubles and a side of fires with a coke.
