You don't have to travel to a foreign country to find some seriously strange snacks.
There are actually a number of bizarre culinary creations right here in New York, as our friends at Zagat well know. They came up with a list of the nine weirdest foods you can find in the city.
Some are completely novel ideas while others are new spins on old favorites, but all of them are mouthwateringly delicious.
Cricket Tacos
Insect aficionados can now enjoy their bugs Mexican-style. Antojeria La Popular opened in January, and already their cricket taco is making a splash in the New York food scene.
There's no pretense at all—you'll know you're eating bugs—but they're satisfyingly crunchy among the smooth guacamole and, just as an added perk, a great source of protein.
Candy Goblet Drinks
Having one of Sugar Factory's candy goblets is like getting a sugar rush in a boozy, bottomless glass. Name a candy, and it's more likely than not that Sugar Factory has made a 60-ounce drink out of it.
Favorites include the Lollipop Passion, a tropical concoction with twisted lollies in it, and the Energy Bear, decked out in gummi bears and spiked with Red Bull.
Frozen S'mores
Dominique Ansel may still be getting most of his traffic from cronut-crazed fans, but we tried his newest creation, the frozen s'more, and it's even better.
The $7 snack is a hybrid of vanilla custard ice cream and a caramelized marshmallow which is made to order, with a blowtorch, by Ansel himself.
