Tonight’s dinner in NYC

I got the NYC classic tonight which is a chicken over rice with a good helping of white sauce and allll the sauces on the side. We got hot sauce, green sauce, and bbq sauce.

Can’t forget the bev, a crispy cold sprite.

All for $10 bucks.

When you’re in NYC, and can’t decide what to get - go for this and you won’t be disappointed. Best part, the halal carts are open 24 hrs so you can get this any time of the night.

Dinner at Bernie’s in Greenpoint - NYC Food Guide
🍔 Bernie’s has a simple menu with American classics and they do it so well. This place definitely has a long wait time for the bar and getting a reservation seems impossible. I will say on weekday come early and you’ll probably get lucky. We had so many great bites. This meal was a solid 9.9 for me
