Bobby’s words of advice about the Silver Moon? Arrive early! Lines often form out the door — and for good reason. “The baked goods are delicious,” Bobby says. He picked up peel-away rolls, one of many yummy options at this shop that makes over 40 kinds of breads, along with tarts and other treats.

On Boy Meets Grill, Bobby stops by the Soho House or what he calls an “oasis in the middle of the urban jungle.” Here, you can relax by the pool with “great food and fantastic cocktails.” Pair a refreshing Mojito with light fare like grilled shrimp and sliced tuna with avocado.

The Schatzie butcher counter has always been a go-to for Bobby in New York's Upper West Side. Known as "The Meat Man of Manhattan since 1911," Schatzie (with a fifth-generation butcher) knows meats, including lamb, pork, veal and Bobby's choice meal for a holiday celebration: beef prime rib.

Swing by specialty Italian cheese shop Joe's Dairy on Sullivan Street for ready-made sandwiches and charcuterie-style snacks. Bobby swears by the mozzarella, made daily and served fresh or smoked.

In the world of sweets, Jacques Torres is synonymous with chocolate. Giada finds that for the best wake-up call, he makes one "wicked good" hot chocolate. The consistency is like liquid pudding and the chipotle spice adds an extra kick. And to top it off? A dollop of housemade whipped cream.

On Food Network's Boy Meets Grill, Bobby Flay checks out the monster-sized burritos at Cosmic Cantina in New York, NY.

This well-known specialty food shop has all the fixings for a gourmet meal at home: fresh pastas, prime meats, seafood and imported cheeses. Don't feel like cooking? Choose from prepared Italian dishes, lobsters and rotisserie chickens that can be dressed up with any of the house-made sauces.

This longtime Harlem standby has been frying up chicken the old-fashioned way for more than two decades. Chef-Owner Charles Gabriel employs an uncommon method of slow-frying in a giant skillet — large enough to fit 25 pieces at a time — until every piece of chicken is golden-brown on all sides. He then serves the chicken with a variety of Southern-style sides, like sweet cornbread, mac and cheese, and collard greens.

Bobby swung by Chimichurri for some grass-fed beef spiced up with the classic Argentine sauce for which the place is named. Here, the beef is basted with a saltwater mixture and cooked with heat (not with flame). As Bobby says, this Argentinian Argentinean grilling method leaves the steak “incredibly tender.”
