After relistening to the (incredible) Claudia Winkleman episode of Off Menu a couple of months ago, I began to research tuna melts in New York. An early consensus formed around Golden Diner, so who am I to refuse? Unfortunately, this is maybe the only real food disappointment of the trip. This is, to be fair, potentially slightly influenced by being too full, but I still think in a vaccum, I wasn’t overly impressed. The sandwich was over-stuffed with tuna mayo (which, to be fair, was nice, but it was also cold? In a tuna melt?). It was like they’d toasted some cheese on some bread, and only then added the tuna and, for some reason, crisps? Very confusing. I get it with a pickle and some fries, both of which are perfectly fine if nothing special. On a very hot day, though, the very refreshing lager is doing a lot of heavy lifting, so I don’t regret it all too much. Maybe another time.
