Though there are a large number of unique and modern flavors available in New York City, sometimes a New York apartment-ite just needs a return to the warm, friendly cooking of home. Though there are numerous spots in town claiming to cook food just like mom used to make, one place walking the walk is Mama’s Food Shop, using fresh, delicious ingredients to make some of the best meals in town, with some of the most hearty helpings you’re likely to find in the city. The prices are almost as fantastic as the food, with some of the most affordable fare on the entire island. For those pining for the flavors of home, Mama’s Food Shop is a culinary gift that just keeps on giving. The menu at Mama’s is not lengthy, and doesn’t feature fifty kind of appetizers or a huge wine selection, but instead, it’s simple and delicious home cooked flavors with a number of different sides to go with them. You can choose from their fresh fried, grilled or roasted chicken, or their meatloaf or grilled salmon, with each come with one side, or try the veggie plate with any three sides. The fresh veggies are always a major draw at Mama’s, with homemade mashed potatoes, honey-glazed sweet potatoes, roasted carrots and beets, brussel sprouts, roasted turnips, Chinese greens, fresh green beans with caramelized onions, even their famous homemade macaroni and cheese. Just make sure you save room for one of the fresh desserts, including homemade cobbler, cookies, banana cream pie, and some ambrosial chocolate banana bread pudding. New York City sometimes makes one pine for home, and when you’re feeling homesick, nothing quite hits the spot like some delicious home made cooking, courtesy of Mama’s Food Shop, where fresh ingredients and attention to detail make for one of the warmest, most comforting meal available for New York apartment residents.
