The Best Places To Indulge In Truffle Fries
Fries are the staple diet of any New Yorker. Whether served up alongside a burger or with a paper cone on the street, good fries in New York are available lots of places. When it comes to truffle fries though, the field narrows considerably. While the city is reaching out into different forms of fries, the truffle fry has made its mark on New Yorkers as the perfect upscale balance of finger foods with a finer touch. When it comes to sampling the best the city has to offer, here are our recommendations.
STK
The parmesan truffle fries at STK are unbelievable. With the faintest dusting of parmesan infused with truffle oil, these stacked fries come ready to dig in with a powerful punch of flavor to support the heartiness of the potato in the fries. Additionally, they come with two dipping sauces, a ketchup based one and a kind of aioli that has a bit of tang to it, a perfect compliment to the sharp taste of the oil.

Pommes Frites
This MacDougal Street outpost has become an epicenter for the post-bars food scene on weekends in Greenwich Village. Fries are handed down to people in a paper cone, with sauces heavily laid down on top of the pile. Its the perfect way to soak up one-too-many gin and tonics on the walk back to your apartment after a night out on MacDougal and Bleecker Streets. The space also has tables to have a seat at, with holes drilled into the table to fit the paper cone in to stand freely. While the menu boasts a wide range of options, the truffle fries are a crowd favorite.

Allswell
This Brooklyn outpost is a great venue for food with a bit of rustic charm. Their burger and fries offers just the right amount of flavor with oil used to season things just right. The fries are crispy and cut thick to compliment the burger they’re scattered around typically. Allswell is a northern Williamsburg joint perfect for cold days roaming through Brooklyn to dip into for a warm meal in a cozy booth.
