Being confined inside New York conference rooms may be unavoidable for many who come to the city on business, but that doesn't mean you should miss out on checking out the local culture and cuisine. Given that New York is a cultural melting pot, however, the question is, where to start?

While it is true that New York is the one place in the world where you can find the most diverse number of places serving food from all over the world in any given area, where to start sampling the local fare is easy. Just ask any native New Yorker what food characterises the city best, and two will definitely come out on top of the list: pizza and hot dogs, the staple foods of the New York native.

To help you in your quest, here's an overview of these two favourites and where to find the best places to try them. So, find a sneaky moment to escape from your New York conference rooms, and give these great NYC staples a try!

New York Hot Dogs

You probably won't be served this for lunch in any New York conference rooms, since they might be too messy for a formal business meeting, but that's perfectly alright, they're best eaten inside a deli, a diner, or right on the sidewalk anyway! If there is something you must know about the classic New York-style hot dog, it is that it is all-beef with a natural casing (unless it's a kosher hot dog), boiled, and never fried, and it always comes with mustard and sauerkraut - not ketchup, and never mayonnaise. That's just for the condiments however, there are a million variations for toppings available - jalapeno, cheese, bacon bits and more, depending on where you've decided to savour this classic!

The Best of the Best Hot Dogs

Katz Diner, Gray's Papaya, Papaya King, Willie's Dawgs and Hot Diggity Dawg are among the places to try this Big Apple staple, but if you haven't time to stray too far from your New York conference rooms, you're certain to find a Sabrett hot dog cart on a sidewalk nearby!

New York Style Pizza

Wide, thin and foldable, this distinctive pizza, usually topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese (plus additional toppings in the cheese), made its first appearance in New York City in the 1900s, and it's been a native New Yorker ever since. What distinguishes this pizza from the others is its thin hand-tossed crust made from high-gluten flour - although others believe its distinctive flavour comes from the minerals in the city's water that is used to make the dough. New York pizzerias usually have jars of oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, chilli flakes, garlic powder and other condiments you can add on top of the pizza. To look like a native New Yorker, when you've finished in your New York conference rooms, hit the streets for dinner - fold your pizza in half and eat it on the sidewalk.

The Best of the Best Pizza

So, where to find the most authentic? Lombardi's, in Little Italy, Manhattan, is said to have been the first pizzeria to open in the city, in 1905. Also on top of many "best pizza places" lists are Grimaldi's Pizzeria (Brooklyn), DiFara's (Brooklyn), and Nick's Pizza (Queens or the Upper East Side). Another option that won't take you too far from the vicinity of your New York conference rooms is Ray's Pizza - the original is in Little Italy, though the dozens of franchises with the same name in multiple locations all over New York are just as good.
