Apparently the world is edging toward geopolitical collapse again, oil prices are behaving like crypto in 2021, and somehow your biggest concern is still finding a saffron soft-serve latte in NYC before your return flight.
Honestly? Valid.
According to ongoing reporting about the escalating U.S.-Iran conflict and global economic disruptions, food and energy prices are already getting weird. Which means now is the perfect time to speedrun NYC’s Persian, Middle Eastern, and maximalist late-night food scene before hummus becomes a luxury asset class.
Go Here Immediately:
- Eyval — Persian food so beautiful it looks generated by an art-school student having a spiritual awakening.
- Sofreh — the “you accidentally booked the coolest dinner of your life” option.
- Tanoreen — Palestinian comfort food that could emotionally stabilize a small nation.
- Shuka — downtown Manhattan people pretending they discovered sumac yesterday.
TikTok Mission:
Film every pistachio dessert like historians will need evidence later.
