The intricate and very much Momofuku-biased puzzle of a spreadsheet plotting where, when and what I would eat, became even more complicated as I arrived in New York in April this year. Shortly after my arrival began the delicate act of juggling the eating calendar and deciding which plans to forego in order to accommodate even more Momofuku visits. This is a list (in chronological order) of my favourite 23 things I ate in New York.
