Crif Dogs
113 Saint Marks Pl, New York, NY
Why have one kind of meat when you can have three? The Spicy Redneck features a classic hot dog wrapped in bacon and covered in chili. It's like a heart attack in a bun! -
Back Forty
190 Avenue B, New York, NY
For those who think chicken nuggets are just too healthy comes the pork jowl nugget, made with one of the fattiest cuts of the pig available. -
R.U.B.
208 W 23rd St, New York, NY
How could one somehow make a creme-filled cookie even less healthy? Deep fry it. These Oreos would probably make your doctor faint. -
Pommes Frites
123 2nd Ave, New York, NY
From the country that brought us ice hockey and Pamela Anderson comes Canada's finest accomplishment: poutine, aka fries smothered in Canadian-cured cheddar cheese and chicken gravy. -
ChipShop
383 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY
There is no way to make the words "deep-fried pizza" sound healthy. An assortment of fried chocolate bars is also available if you have some kind vendetta against your arteries. -
Hallo Berlin Cart
W 54th St, New York, NY
Two sausages topped with fried potatoes and sauerkraut would be bad enough--but placing a meatball over the whole mess is the kind of move that makes this street cart legendary. -
L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon
57 E 57th St, New York, NY
Rent, shment. Get out that credit card and be prepared to spend because nobody, and I mean nobody, does foie gras like Joel Robuchon. -
Babbo
110 Waverly Pl, New York, NY
If you're looking to indulge yourself, look to the master: Mario Batali. The man knows how to go for broke with beef-cheek ravioli, gnocchi with braised oxtail and more mind-blowingly tasty dishes, calories be damned. -
Katz's Deli
205 E Houston St, New York, NY
What got Meg Ryan all hot and bothered in "When Harry Met Sally?" Possibly the incredibly thick, hand-carved cuts of pastrami and corned beef. -
Myers of Keswick
634 Hudson St, New York, NY
Scotch eggs are the perfect pick-me-up for when you are just craving a deep-fried hardboiled egg covered in a sausage/breadcrumb mixture.
