We don’t have to tell you how cold it is outside. And guess what? It’s only going to get worse—in a few days, temperatures in NYC will dip down into the single digits! But you don’t have to bury your head in your hidey-hole just yet. Time Out Market New York has plenty of cozy foods sure to warm your soul, bellies—really, any part of your person. So don your finest puffer and come on over to Dumbo for some cozy eats.
RECOMMENDED: These two drink specials will help aid L.A. wildfire relief efforts through Sunday
1. The Brioche French Toast at Clinton St. Baking Company
Clinton St. Baking Company’s French Toast starts with thick slices of brioche bread, battered in a spiced egg wash before hitting the flat top. Once perfectly toasted, the bread is topped with syrupy, caramelized bananas and organic Texas pecans. But the piece de resistance goes to the warm maple butter—nutty and sweet in all the right ways. Psst! Pros know to order a vanilla scoop from Sugar Hill Creamery to add on top.
2. House of Cardamom at Doughnuttery
Doughnuttery's tagline of “Hot. Fresh. Uniquely Sugared” is how I plan to spend these colder months, bag of doughnuts in hand. Winter calls for the House of Cardamom, an aromatic number made even more so thanks to the addition of orange zest. But before you pop all six in your mouth, tie it all together with one of the dipping sauces, the Dulce de Leche being a perfect match.
3. Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese at Felice Pasta Bar
A taste of the Tuscan countryside can be found in Dumbo—specifically in Felice’s Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese. The traditional veal ragu dish comes with a comforting red sauce, showered in grated Parmigiano-Reggiano that’s been aged for 24 months.
4. The ultimate hot chocolate at Sugar Hill Creamery
Coziest dish: Ice Cream Hot Chocolate
Don’t worry, we’re not recommending ice cream right now—the ultimate hot chocolate is back at Time Out Market. Starting with a scoop of housemade vanilla ice cream and chocolate, this hot chocolate is topped with a swirl of marshmallow fluff, torched right in front of you. Not only is this cup of cocoa worthy of the feed, but it is downright delicious.
5. Tan Tan Ramen at Okiboru
Ramen and cold weather go together like two frozen peas in a very warm pod. Even better, Okiboru’s dedication to tsukemen aka “dipping noodles” means that noodles come separate from the broth. Meaning, you can dip and warm up at your leisure.
6. Chicken Matzoh Ball Soup at Pastrami Factory
When in doubt, a classic cup of matzoh ball soup really hits the spot. And Pastrami Factory does everything in-house from making the broth to mixing the matzoh ball dough. Now if a soup leads to a sandwich, namely the new Reuben that just dropped, we won't blame you.
