Pains me to see my beloved city and other like it are suffering so much, I hope everyone stays safe through this madness and the light on the other side is not far away. Hope these videos brings you some distraction during these crazy times and please bookmark these places for a future visit because they will all need our support. So, after this darkness ends and yes it will end, let’s all eat the heck out of these places!

I went to New York last year in november and just because of your channel I went to Rubyrosa Pizza and I loved it!!! I tried several slices of Pizza, in fact it was 4 slices of different pizza, and the vodka sauce was one of them. So I want to thank you of leading me to that place. I can´t wait to go back there and try some more of the places you recommend when this whole crisis is over!

Living in New York and being near so many great pizza spots is well worth it. Lions and Tigers and Squares is one of my favorite spots in the city. Although they serve Detroit pizza, it’s still amazing. Love Detroit pizza with the crust and pepperoni cups. Rubirosa is good too. I also like Lucali

[@ajsparx4133]

Good to see some love for Detroit style pizza in the pizza capital. I used to live near NYC and I still fold my slices in MI

PIZZA! If you ever head down to Portland can you please try “ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK PIZZA” It’s a favorite place of ours that we go to for delicious pizza and salad. It was recommended to me years ago from a New Yorker we met. Would love to know what you think 😊

You mentioned that you do not recommend Korean or Vietnamese food in NY. I agree with you based on quality and price. Have you ever been to the massive Koreatown in Atlanta? It is the 2nd largest Koreatown in the US, behind LA. It is my favorite vacation spot now in the US because the food is so amazing, diverse, and cheap.
