Welcome fellow foodies!

NYCDopeFoods was founded in 2016 by Nancy Sabbagh and Rachel Kastner. If you couldn’t already tell, we really love food. As you could imagine, living in New York gives us access to some of the BEST food in the world. We are constantly surrounded by some of the best restaurants, food carts, and bars. There’s no way to experience the cultural diversity of New York City without speaking about the cuisines. Between Little Italy, Chinatown and Little India, New York is a melting pot of cuisines. We are so excited to take you along with us on all of our culinary adventures throughout the city and share some of our favorite spots, and snacks, with you!
