New York City

137 East Houston Street New York, NY 10002 
This was the most delicious spinach knish I've ever tasted! It was full-flavoured, a little crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. If they were a little cheaper to ship I'd arrange a weekly delivery.

Katz's' Deli
205 East Houston Street, New York, NY 10002
Katz's Deli was absolutely mobbed at lunch time. The layout was very confusing and it wasn't quite clear what you were supposed to do. You could either wander down the counter and order your own lunch; or you could grab a table and wait to be served. They were very generous with the pickles, but unfortunately we soon found out that they don't have white fish salad on the menu!
It seems that Katz's may still be getting lots of publicity from the famous scene in "When Harry Met Sally". This interview with Jerry Stiller though is a much more personal appreciation of delis and of growing up in New York:

Union Square Farmers' Market
Broadway at 17th St (Bordered by 17th Street, Union Square West, 14th Street and Union Square East) New YorkNY 10011 
We just fell into this farmers' market strolling aroundwhat an amazing resource in the middle of the city. I don't think I've seen so much wonderful fresh produce before! Lots of fresh cheeses, home-made jams, yogurts and fresh fruits and vegetables. A pure feast for the senses...
