The New York Times Company

The New York Times takes you on an immersive journey through one of New York’s great meals. At the Michelin-starred restaurant Torrisi, Sam Sifton takes us on a tour of three dishes, tracing their culinary influences and origin stories through the streets of New York. The flavors — Jamaican jerk spices, pickling brine, Cantonese aromatics and more — tell a tale of a city, its food and its people. Pull up a chair.

5/5

Really Enjoyed

This a short experience, but very well done and immersive. I really hope the New York times continues to produce quality content like this. Things like this help to keep the Quest fresh and engaging.

3/5

Good concept but the quality of the video is terrible. A lot of pixelation and anti aliasing. I expected more here. On Quest 3.

A neat experience in VR

The filmography is brilliantly executed. It makes you feel like you're in the restaurant, and it introduces you to NYC food culture in a way that makes you feel like you're there. I'd like to see more like this.
