While @EmpanadaMamaNYC has something for everyone - even vegetarian & gluten-free options - my go-to is the pernil. Slow-cooked pork shoulder & a highlight of Puerto Rican and Dominican cuisines that never fails to please!

The food tour continues! Onward to acknowledge the Latin American community's contributions to the LES in the form of a delicious stop at local favorites @EmpanadaMamaNYC.

The selection from @YonahSchimmelNY for my food tour guests - staring with a classic potato #knish with mustard sets us up to enjoy this dessert-like sweet blueberry cheese knish for the finish.

Cherry cheese knishes on display at @YonahSchimmelNY. In addition to classic potato and kasha versions, sweet cheese blintzes were re-formatted to add a sweet side to the shop's menu.

Next food tour stop, @YonahSchimmelNY! The last knish bakery on the island of Manhattan has been here on Houston Street since 1910, and still makes all their classic Jewish LES treats on the premises.

Look across #HoustonStreet & you can see the green side wall of a "dumb-bell" tenement building. These walk-ups with narrow light wells were created after legal reforms required a window in every room of an NYC residence.

Further food tour exploration in #Manhattan's #LittleItaly. Excellent square pie with pepperoni from @UpsidePizza on Mulberry St. A 3 day sourdough-style process gives it a light, fluffy texture and a slight twang.

Opening up that fresh #rambutan obtained from the Canal Street vendors. The trick is to push your thumbs into the middle until the rind cracks, then split it open and enjoy the fruit (mind the pit)!

Scoring some #rambutan for food tour guests on Canal Street in Manhattan's Chinatown. In season, fresh jackfruit, durian, lychee and other treats are to be had here too.

Here's some famous pork and chive #potsticker dumplings from #Fried Dumpling / #OldShandong. Crisped up perfectly on the griddle and enlivened with a little black vinegar and spicy red sauce!

No #Manhattan #Chinatown tour is complete without a bite to eat! "Fried Dumpling" on Mosco St. is better served by its Chinese name "Old Shandong Potstickers" advertising the delicious flavor of their hand-made dumplings.

Another great shot of #Manhattan's #Chinatown by #LesLatchman, looking uptown on #MottStreet at #BayardStreet. Prominent New Yorkers since Dutch days, the Bayard family farm stretched up to what is now Houston Street.

Guiding downtown at #FoleySquare's #Manhattan Municipal Building, created after the 1898 unification of the 5 boroughs to make greater #NYC.
