Tommy's Joynt is the real deal San Francisco, and the Grubstake is also great. If you go down to the Warf try the Clam Chowder, but I recommend against Boudin, you can get he chowder in a sourdough bowl on at one of the Places on the warf for less and the same product. Godiva choclates is also a stones throw from the Warf. China town also has some amazing food. If you can find City View Dim Sum, best Dim Sum place I have ever been too....I can keep going there is so much in SF, damn I miss living there.
I loved all the different dumpling places that you could just get something from while walking around China Town, it was amazing. I can't wait to go back to San Fran0 -
San Francisco--a fried shrimp po' boy sandwich with remoulade sauce from Brenda's French Soul Food. :-) Also San Francisco, a fancy tropical cocktail (or two) adorned with a paper umbrella from the Hurricane Bar in the Tonga Tiki Restaurant at the Fairmont Hotel.0

While in NY try soft pretzels, sub sandwiches, tastykakes, and scrapple.0

Thanks everyone - lots added to my list and I only had to google a few times to work out what something is (probably no to scrapple)0

We get tobacco sauce here (yum) but are those tinned sausages?0 -
krispy kreme original glazed donut. All the fancy donuts are great, but if you've never had krispy kreme, you have to try the glazed first.
Do you have reese's in NZ? If not a reese's peanut butter cup.
I know these are both snacks, but they are awesome and not available in all countries.0 -
I'll be visiting San Francisco, New York and Honolulu later in the year and, being the slightly obsessive organiser, I'm working on lists of things to do and try while their. Since we get a lot of American TV here in NZ there are foods we don't get that I want to try - so far I have:
- New York hot dog
- New York pizza
- Cheese steak
- Matza Ball soup (not sure about spelling)
- Jewish deli sandwich
- Twinkie
- Tastykakes – butterscotch krimpet (mainly because of the Janet Evanovich books)
- Chicken and Waffles
- American style macaroni and cheese
- Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream
Thanks
Tastykake chocolate cream filled cupcakes....A big Philly soft pretzel with mustard (I like honey mustard)....a big juicy bar/pub burger with your favorite toppings and your favorite beer.......a meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy......an everything bagel with butter.......WAWA coffee if you come east to PA/NJ/DEL area.0 -
Almost forgot. Dunkin' Donuts0

Used to work in the city (NY)... forget the hotdogs lol. im guessing you got jewish stuff at katz or bens. you did good there. you need to take a trip to little italy. you cant go wrong with any place there... but I have a preference for La Mela. you dont even have to order...they will just bring dishes out. forget the tastycakes, there are a few amazing ciupcake places you can find...lines down the block.0

I'm Australian, living in Toronto, Canada, and I've been to the States. So, I'll say this, someone else suggested Starbucks, don't even bother, the Starbucks' here are really really bad compared to the ones in Australia (our coffee is much nicer), the only thing they have over us is more syrups, but it's fine.
American Mac and Cheese is pretty normal, so if you miss out on it, you can easily make it at home.
Everything else sounds good, definitely In n Out Burger. Be prepared for massive portions, super weird bacon and the bread is unusually sweet a lot of the time.0 -
