I wasn't there for many days, and I had a limited number of meals and money, and you're right, nothing stuck out for me either.

I think the thing to do when you visit a country is to try the things they specialise in. The yanks specialise in "food products" and fast food, so I ate stuff from supermarkets and bodegas, with an exception to the pizza and a few other things with my friend.

Pretzels were interesting, I got a bunch of stuff from Family Dollar, 7-11 and Slurpees were by far the greatest fucking thing I had the entire time I was there, like FUCK MAN, during summer that shit goes down so good, and you can mix and match flavours. I had some japanese food near the NY Library with my friend, the aforementioned pizza and that was about it.

I wanted to try taco bell but somehow fucked it up and didn't find one at the right time. Not sure how I managed to do that, but I did. Also Tamales, as mentioned.

I wasn't expecting much, so I didn't particularly care , especially because of diets and financial constraints.

What ACTUALLY disappointed me was that the tech death power trio I specifically traveled across the Atlantic for had their guitarist sick during the show I went to, so it was a duo.

Man you really missed out, there's so much good food in the US and a ton of options in New York specifically. American cuisine is incredibly diverse (though not more than Europe as a whole) so it's a bummer you think we're all about fast food haha
