My favorite place in all of Philly: RTM! Reading Terminal Market - An amazing food market + restaurants! (Check their website for info on discounted parking!)
Reading Terminal Market (Philly)
Many think of cheesesteaks when they think of Philly… But I found that the roast pork sandwiches around Philly are killer, & DiNic's is among the best! (This location is inside Reading Terminal Market)
Tommy DiNic’s (Philly)
When I go, I MUST have the maple bacon donuts! (This location is inside Reading Terminal Market)
Beiler's Donuts (Philly)
Well-known for their ice cream… But their mini cupcakes are some of the best I've ever had - they taste so homemade-from-scratch!
The Bent Spoon (Princeton, NJ)
My first introduction to east coast pizza, back when they were inside Livingston Mall… MANY years ago… Now I fieldtrip to their Cranbury/East Windsor, NJ location, load up on assorted slices & take them home to feast on for several days!
Italian Touch (Cranbury/East Windsor, NJ)
If I'm in NYC, I'm going here. For a meal, & to take home goodies like almond croissants, coffee eclairs & more… (This is where I eat before seeing WICKED on Broadway; it's walking distance to the Gershwin Theatre.)
La Bergamote (Hell's Kitchen, NYC)
Team Giordano's! IYKYK P.S. They ship!!!
Giordano's (Chicago, IL)
If you get the chance… SO YUM…

Connected to Frontera Grill, Topolo is the more casual side.
Topolobampo (Chicago, IL)
Some of the best carnitas I've ever, ever had! Two locations: THE LOOP 75 E. LAKE ST and OLD TOWN 1400 N WELLS ST
Broken English Taco Pub (Chicago, IL)
I love how many donut types there are in the world. Amazing textures that vary from bakery to bakery. I especially these donuts - they have a very special place in my heart.
