Out of the thousands of photos I’ve posted to Google Maps, this one stands out: octopus risotto. Not because it was the best thing I’ve ever eaten—but because it was my first time eating octopus.
Let’s just say… I had to take a deep breath before every bite. Feeling those little suction cups? Whew! A whole experience.
What makes it even cooler is that this photo is one of the most viewed from my account—and I’m proud to rank in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers in NYC. That’s no small feat considering how many incredible spots this city has.
I started posting on Google Maps for moments like this: new tastes, new adventures, and helping others find their next favorite bite.
Have you ever eaten something totally out of your comfort zone? I want to hear about it!
