The Most Iconic New York City Dishes

"This New York institution is better than you remember it, tucked in the tunnels of the city’s most beautiful train station. Try to get a seat at the bar, and order the city’s namesake chowder, a lightly spicy soup full of clams, potatoes, and vegetables. Keep in mind it’s closed on weekends." - Eater Staff
