Last year, a record 52 million tourists visited New York City - wow! I think I gave directions to at least one million. Really, I absolutely love helping visitors find their way around my hometown and sharing my picks on what to see and eat! If a visit to the Big Apple is on on your agenda, here are a few hot tips for your trip.

Wicked Hot Chocolate at Jacques Torres
Walking around NYC in the winter can get a bit chilly, so warm up with a delicious cup of Wicked Hot Chocolate from Jacques Torres. Wicked Hot Chocolate blends rich dark chocolate with a hint of ground ancho and chipotle chili peppers, cinnamon, and allspice. I had a cup yesterday and it was fabulous - rich, creamy and chocolatey with a subtle kick of heat!
Hot Bread Almacen at La Marqueta
Located in East Harlem's historic La Marqueta, Hot Bread Almacen serves up Hot Bread Kitchen's amazing multi-ethnic breads. More than just a bakery, Hot Bread Kitchen provides low-income, foreign-born men and women with training as bakers as a path to financial stability. Their breads are available at various retailers and greenmarkets but only East Harlem has El Bialy del Barrio - an insanely delicious egg and cheese sandwich made with their onion bialy and drizzled with Mexican hot sauce!
