I mean, there are just some things that are better in certain places.
Now, this is a Bistro Burger from the Corner Bistro. It is heralded as the best burger in NYC, which may very well be true as I have has this burger many a time, and it is delicious. Is it the best burger in the country though? Probably not. Although, costing only $5.50 for this "full all day" burger, the price is certainly right.
Another example is the Philly Cheesesteak. I have tried a couple places in NYC, after having a TRUE Philly Cheesesteak from Philly, and I can tell you that really none compare to a Cheesesteak from Philly. Try as they might, it's just not as good.
But Pizza? NY Style Pizza really is second to none, except for maybe going to Italy. Pizza is one of those foods that are just better in NY.
Junior's Cheesecake is another.
Like this slice of Carrot Cheesecake (my personal favorite) from Junior's. No other cheesecake in the world is this good. None.
