The Frozen S'more
Dominique Ansel Bakery, Soho
Approximate Calorie Count: 341
It might have been the year of the Cronut for Dominique Ansel Bakery, but the Frozen S'more was the king of snacks in our opinion, with chewy Turkish ice cream inside (yes, chewy ice cream -- Google "dondurma"), surrounded by crispy chocolate wafers, and then surrounded again in a marshmallow that gets blowtorched right in front of you.

Doritos Kimchee Carbonara
King Noodle, East Williamsburg
Approximate Calorie Count: 455
A mind-melting concoction of Asian, Italian, and American snack food, this Nacho Cheese Doritos-filled bowl of noodles is also packed with lo mein, bacon, and, ugh, the occasional veggie.

Donut Burger
Burger Bistro, Upper East Side
Approximate Calorie Count: 637
They let you create your own burger out of their many, many ingredients here, but if they've got donuts (sometimes you can call ahead), this is the way to go, along with a fried egg, crumbled bacon, and cheese, if for no other reason than to say you've done it. (And it's actually delicious.)

The Footlong Lobster Roll
Cull & Pistol, Meatpacking District
Approximate Calorie Count: 1595
Maybe the most amazing thing ever, this guy featured a half-pound of mostly claw and tail meat, which was drenched in 2oz of "lobster butter" (which's created in part by cooking down a really rich brandied lobster stock), and all piled into a toasted and buttered footlong roll.
