Pete Myers, Myers of Keswick, Hudson Street, New York, Sept 2015
For any Brit living in New York, Myers of Keswick, on Hudson Street in the Village, is an essential destination for all that good stuff you grew up with. Pork Pies, Steak and Kidney Dittos, Cornish Pasties, Bangers, Chippolatas, Scotch Eggs, even British Bacon and Black Pudding. Pete Myers, who came to New York in 1971, prepares the best home-cooked quality British food daily, which rivals the best you can find anywhere in Britain. His store is exactly what everyone knew in every British High Street before the Gaps, Victoria’s Secrets, and drugstores drove them out. Give yourselves a treat, and don’t forget to pick up a couple of tubes of Smarties.
