@eater

"This tiny spot in Astoria’s Little Egypt has been turning out Cairo- and Alexandria-style dishes since 1989. Chef Ali El Sayed whips up stews and grills meats, including offal like sweetbreads and lamb brain. Eating here is like sitting in Ali’s living room, and you’d better be prepared to convivially interact. Cash only." - Eater Staff

Buba Bureka

Pastry shop · Greenwich Village

"Buba Bureka is a takeout pastry counter totally obsessed with burekas. Every crispy, savory, golden bureka is baked fresh, and served in a pizza box with briny pickles, a jammy egg, and a colorful array of house-made dips and spreads. Blending bright acidic flavors, salt-rich toasted butter notes, and a crunch that's begging for an ASMR showcase, every bureka box is a journey through tradition and modern pastry innovation."
