Spanish term
Esa fruta en Nueva York
Spanish to English
Social Sciences
Tourism & Travel
This is the title of a journalistic text about New York where all the boroughs are described and the attractions of each one are listed. I am struggling to come up with a suitable translation. It obviously is playing with references to 'The Big Apple', and perhaps 'disfrutar'. Any suggestions would be most welcome as my brain seems to have turned off.

A Slice of the Big Apple
When I think of an apple, I think of cutting into slices and each neighborhood is a slice of the big apple.
There is already a book called Slices of the Big Apple, A Photographic Tour of the Streets of New York, by James Freund. (I put a link below.)

Bites from the Big Apple
'Bites' as in the different neighbourhoods.
Or maybe using the word 'flavours' in there....

Esa fruta en Nueva York
The Quintessential Big Apple [Experience]
I get the sense that it's trying to communicate what the Big Apple is really all about (the nitty gritty), and feel this conveys that message.
Cheers :)

New York on a Platter
as in fruit platter, attractively served up etc.
Could also be "The Big Apple on a Platter" or you could use both terms: "New York - the Big Apple on a Platter".
