Top 10 NYC Foods You MUST try Before you DIE

[@barrykung2049]

you should add the price in your videos, this would help the viewers.

[@xanderdumas1682]

TOO DAMN HIGH! NYC extremely expensive.

[@TikkaMasalaa1]

But if he told guys, the kat'ziz sandwich u want is 25 buks, you wont go!

[@Yopiwastaken]

@@xanderdumas1682 not the deli food

Fuck off Barry the brokeass

[@barrykung2049]

How rude! Just trying to help! You don't need to be ruled about it okay!

[@___David___Savian]

Come on Brett. I can top your top ten foods in New York City. Here they are. 1. For Pizza -- Grimaldi's or DiFara (both in Brooklyn, New York) 2. Dominican Food -- La Casa Del Mofongo (in Washington Heights) celebrities eat here. Cheap. 3. Steaks -- Peter Luger or Delmonico (in Brooklyn and Manhattan respectively) 4. Cheesecakes -- Juniors Restaurant (found all NYC, main one in Brooklyn) 5. Indian Food -- Seva Indian Cousine (in Queens, New York) delicious flavors people !!! 6. Jewish Food -- Katz Deli (in Manhattan) best Pastrami massive sandwich on Earth !! 7. Frankfuters -- Papayas Frankfuters (in Manhattan) really cheap with delicious toppings. 8. Chinese Food -- Wah Fung Fast Food (China town) The BEST Chinese food in NYC. 9. BBQ Meat -- Dinosaur Bar-B-Que (Brooklyn) Just try it once in your life. Trust me. 10. Hamburgers -- Paul's Da Burger Joint (in Manhattan) laid back, delicious and cheap 11. Ribs -- The name of this restaurant is called Fresh Taco. They have delicious Tacos, Paella Rice from Spain, chicken and steak. But, their Ribs are soft, perfectly cooked and sliced thin. Their food is to go with no tables there. The food is cheap too !!!!! (they're on 46 Street and 47 avenue in Sunnyside, Queens) Takeout. Other Worldly GOOD !! Other honorable mentions -- Seduttos Ice Cream (in Manhattan), Freakin Puerto Rican (in Queens), Kabayan Filipino Authentic Cuisine (in Queens), Magnolia Bakery (in Manhattan) Smack silly good !!! Trust me people. I was born and raised here in New York City. We have over 44,000 restaurants in this city. For me to pick the above places is because when I tried them, I spent days afterward thinking of how delicious they are !!!

[@trueaccidental]

For pizza, I think Grimaldi's became a tourist trap. Go with Juiliana's, Lucali, and Joe's on Carmine St. DiFara is ok, but not the same without Dom DeMarco making the pies.

[@velzing22]

This comment convinced me to save the list, I like your reasoning, but as an Asian if I may ask, did all those place located on safe neighborhood or I need to get bodyguard for some places? any of those places that have super long queue time or having really bad attitude despite the taste? Because I personally think eat experience also influenced by mood.

[@___David___Savian]

@@velzing22 Aga you have nothing to worry about. All of these neighborhood eats I recommend are all safe. The second option (Dominican) I would say go around noon because that is when their food is the freshest and has not been sitting around in a heater. But, they cook so out of this world delicious. All the other spots you can go in the day or night time and I guarantee you that you will be dreaming of going back to these places in your dreams. I recommend that you video record each spot and put it on KZbin and Instagram. Have fun !!

[@Travelwithchris]

Dude great video! NYC is a gem! So many good eats hiding within those streets!

[@davemach8031]

NYC is not just Manhattan.. some of the best food in NYC can be found in the outer boroughs!

[@tenzinthekchok1464]

Dudes white, what u expect lmfaooo but facts tho

[@ChaseLightningMcQueen]

Ever been to Dyker Park Bagels?

[@zartantomax]

THIS!

[@sezoism]

these were my first thoughts then boom saw your comment

[@thatlovegirl12]

What's the best deli and pizzeria in NYC?

[@leaaron79]

Just got back from NYC last wk, 1st time there. Had Peter Luger, Katz Deli, Lombardi's pie and Los tacos No. 1. Thanks to KZbinr's like you, it made it one of the most memorable trips ever. I thank you!

When this COVID-19 is over, you should totally do this again!!! I have some pretty awesome ideas

[@vivi3301]

Evan Estrada It will never be over/disappear, we have to learn to live with it/protect against it/train our immune system/antibodies with vaccines and other methods. I get what you mean but it’s not like quarantine will be over when the virus is “gone”, (probably a lot earlier to avoid frying the economy) or even when a vaccine is created (there is no way to vaccinate every human on earth). Didn’t mean to come across as a party pooper, just a heads up that the virus won’t disappear/we simply have to adapt. But I agree, he should definitely go to more interesting nyc restaurants in the future!

[@evansulpizioestrada]

​@@vivi3301 Ahahahahah I have accepted that this quarantine will be here for a long time. Sorry I should've said "contained". And you aren't being a party pooper at all by the way so don't worry :)

[@Fernyg323]

Prince St Pizza, tacos no 1 , joe’s pizza, and

[@janaequinones3693]

Fernando Gandara Joe’s is the best

[@mzsantana87]

Bleecker st pizza (Nona Maria) yum

[@carolbenson8963]

I’m from queens and can vouch for halal guys, katz deli, and boba guys! I do prefer though Kung fu tea, order the passionfruit green tea! If you find yourself in queens or Brooklyn try lennys clam bar in queens for Italian food. Also, nearby is new park pizza which is very known for their brick oven pizza!! Joes shanghai for soup dumplings in flushing, cabana for amazing Cuban food, Martha’s bakery, shah’s halal, the gully NYC, chip for cookies, hero Thai and izakaya, blend on the water, sweet chick, okonomi/yuji ramen, oasis, 12 chairs cafe, while in kathmandu, Jackson diner Indian cuisine, and much more. This is mostly places in queens and Brooklyn! Hope this helps someone !

[@satyashree9448]

Something about the way he eats and nods his head is so perfect and satisfying.

Chelsea Morning is a Joni Mitchell song. Listen to it. It’s beautiful!

[@BoldonBigLad]

Man this has made my first trip to NYC a lot easier to plan. Five days, 10 places to eat. Sounds awesome

[@erikvanconover]

LOVE

[@luplew1444]

Very enjoyable. Great that these places are quite affordable by NYC standards.

[@chrisholmes344]

Brett, killer video! Such a fantastic mix of incredible eats. I can’t wait till I’m back in NYC to follow your list of places to eat! Thanks Brother, keep the vids coming. Chris

[@saras.4940]

OMG! Honey on the pizza?! You made an italian chef cry right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alexanderhorbal9475]

[@nathanparker7413]

Great list to use when I move to NYC in May! Fantastic video.

[@WalkingMario]

Great video

[@wdestrempsmecke]

When I lived in NYC, Thompkins SQ. was chainlinked off to keep the junkies out. And you only went to Brooklyn if your family already lived there. Ahh, memories.❤️🤘🏼

[@Burn143]

I really loved this video. Great editing, enthusiastic, and looks like the food was good. I’ll definitely check out some of these the next time I’m in NYC.

[@staticvloid]

I enjoyed watching the joy of the sierpinski pizza. It is a fractal slice! A genuine *pizza* pizza. Just lovely.

[@jasonzhao8740]

@Brett Conti can I share this video with my friends in China? They all like to watch your videos! Thanks so much

[@StamperWendy]

Thank you, this is so cool! NYC is on my Bucket List. I want to go!

[@nanchanger]

That is not even close to being the best pizza...

[@worldcitizens]

Just returned from NYC, didn't try any of those lol. Our journey was kind of chaotic, unfortunately. Next time we will plan a lot better. There is one place in Downtown Manhattan that I noticed no one mentions. Maybe its new - Siena Pizza on Rector Street. Its right next to the Holiday Inn Hotel there and we eat a few times there. They have that thing, which is like a sandwich made of pizza bread, tomato sauce and chicken. It is very tasty. They put more tomato sauce there, I think it is their own homemade receipt. In any case, it is worth visiting. I'm already planning the next trip, which will be next summer :)

[@JuanBatista89]

Brett you need to go try Max and Minas Ice Cream in Queens NYC.

[@JordenTually]

the pizza on pizza changed my life

[@dominicaeashy]

5 likes for a person with 2 million is craaaaazy. Love your videos btw

[@lisamariekeesling8044]

Great video, guys. But what about Veselka's in East Village? Have you been there?

[@coremaxjoel9403]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXaQh2uoipWCrqc

[@meganmckissick2281]

I used to train for cycling in Boulder, Colorado and a very popular pizza joint, The Sink, had the most delicious pizza crusts. The Sink would serve your pizza with a bottle of a "honey bear" to lather the left over crust with honey! DELICIOUS!

[@jimkear6749]

Great list, I think the Halal Guys, point of origination, was 53rd and Sixth. They have no less than four carts on that corner and are flanked on all sides by copy-cats. Enjoy!

[@sunilchowta2075]

Liked the video. NYC food looks awesome. Newyork is best.😊👍

[@luisnovelo8047]

Levain bakery cookies should be included in this list!

[@fadiaboukhatro]

Man you channel awesome. You saved me hustle time finding places to eat since its my first visit

[@salasec]

You should put the price in each foodplace!! I would be really helpfull ❤️

[@mzsantana87]

Prices change, so it's best to look them up before you go. I got ideas and looked up menus on yelp

[@jacobsandoval2988]

Pull your boots up by the straps. Heyuh

[@xfactor1497]

Tompkins Square Bagels are amazing! Tried in August, can't wait for the next trip. Need to try Los Tacos and Katz. Big fan of Junior's Cheesecake, Russ and Daughters, etc. Honestly, all NYC food is good. I have never had a bad meal.

[@nicolehunter5927]

Yaas Lox n Cream cheese on a bagel. Cause I'm from N Y C. Had it as a child. Love it still. Thanks N Y C

[@DivertLiving]

Coming to the city soon! I will for sure check these places out!

[@brettconti]

Yes! Need to link up!

[@ladydalrymple]

I would check out Prince St Pizza (get the pepperoni square) and Joe's Pizza over the two pizza spots he listed. They're the best slices in NYC.

[@Agent-kc9gb]

Check out for breakfast in „Bond 45“ super sick! I really recommend it!

[@david15214]

Adorable guys eating their way through NYC. I'm down with it!

[@takoyaki-sama6337]

9:30 man the affordability is one of the reasons I love NYC, that friggin bowl costs over $16 here in the bay area

[@vanessap8598]

Im headed to NY with my brother and sister on 12/9 , so glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing so much. Can’t wait to visit your city!

[@SarahFunky]

All of these places are fire! Great selection 😊

[@katerynab7059]

Your videos are so inspiring! Thanks so much for doing these!!

[@mandiepitre8063]

If you haven't checked it out yet, you need to try Keste's Pizza and Vino. They have amazing Italian-styled pizzas, and if you sit in, you can get a 12" Margherita pizza for $5 - Definitely worth it!

[@chubbieminami3274]

They all look great but I just need 1/3 of anything. Do they have any half size plates or drinks?

[@JR-ze1fv]

One of my favorite spots is Sullivan Street Bakery in Hell's Kitchen. Really good roast beef sandwiches and tons of other stuff. Their bread is amazing.

[@sharkwhisperer7326]

I'm sold! I'm tryin' all 10!

[@RR-pg8jv]

OMG BOUGHT TICKETS TO NYC in December super excited will try to go to all of these places 😭

Brett, your video's ROCK!!! always excited to view an new one. I have list of NY things to do from your videos!!

[@hanta_69]

all these best places to eat in NYC are always in manhattan , but there are other places outside the city that has way better food and more authentic tasting also. should give it a try.

[@axers1556]

Nice video, thanks for the information, looking forward to coming to nyc for the first time next month!

[@Callmejc26]

Thanks for sharing this video! great recommendations for places in NYC. You should really try rice to riches if you haven’t already, it’s AWESOME

[@kockgunner]

I love that your videos are energetic, but you don’t shout at the camera. Now I really want to go to New York.

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Lots of great food, I think you should check out Queens, around Roosevelt Ave by 7train line, lots of great food and street food over there.

[@Eli08ish]

Exactly! The Jackson Diner is delicious there!

[@ChemistrywithDrB]

Los Tacos No. 1 is truly the best taco in NYC!!

[@janaequinones3693]

AGREE

[@notallwhotravelarelost1156]

Stewart Bachan hidden menu item queso taco is life

[@Sma5hy]

Very good choices. I've been to tom sq park bagles and los tacoes

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

Near Katz, there's Datz (Caribbean food).

[@amirarhault9745]

I love how you just jumped RIGHT in to the video

[@NothingMaster]

I have a feeling the pizza on pizza idea comes from the movie Saturday Night Fever where John Travolta eats a pizza on top of pizza during his iconic walk scene.

[@sussybaka5322]

Man to think Tompkins Square Park used to be a dump back in my dad's days. You wouldn't have wanted to catch yourself there it was an open air drug market.

[@michaelvandermarliere7820]

You are so funny Brett! I've been watching and enjoying your videos. Seeing you standing there holding that giant pizza slice made me crack up!

[@Khaliakiraofficial]

What type of camera do you film with. I love it

[@JR-ze1fv]

That's a good looking list. Most of these I haven't tried. Definitely will next time in the city. Subscribed!

[@nickcizin3634]

Yeah plus listen to this guy's accent. He's not even a NYker

[@MyKeeP81]

ell they are right because there are so many options

[@gp5]

Because it’s true, he went to a bunch of bullshit no one has ever heard of, except Katz Deli. That’s like if I went to LA and I went to have tacos at some hipster bullshit place or even Taco Bell, knowing damn well LA is famous for having some good ass Mexican food.

Don't be afraid to go uptown. Plenty of good places to eat above 23rd st.

[@davet1081AA]

Nice video - brings back fond memories. Had Ooey Gooey last summer by the Whitney Museum - phenomenal! Went back the next day, but they ran out, trust me every flavor's good LOL. Adobada pork is the best at Los Tacos #1! It's Joni Mitchell that sings Chelsea Morning, she's Canadian, haha. Back in Feb 2020.

[@Ayan-bp4dq]

Do they bake the pizza on pizza together or add the mini pizzas post-bake?

[@janedoe805]

I’m so delighted l stumbled across your Channel! I’ve eaten at 8 of the 10 restaurants you listed... Nom Wah’s by far my favorite! I was eating their Shrimp & Pea Dumplings, Scallion Pancakes and drinking their Chrysanthemum Tea... By looking at you (and guessing your ages) I’m guessing before you were even born! I managed to eat there for the last time right before this damn pandemic hit. Great Job guys and fabulous picks, you know you food! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@brandonburrell8517]

Chelsea Morning was written by Joni Mitchell, in the 1960's. Great video.

omg ARE YOU KIDDING?! I pass by Katz's Deli ALL the time when I was in high school (cuz my school was a few blocks away from there) and my friends and I never went in there T.T I didn't know that deli starred that one scene with Sally omg

[@py2007]

What time of day were you in Katz? There seems to be lots of empty seats which is a rarity there.

[@rcvitals]

Abraham is cool, more vids with Abraham. I want to do that food walk,. Maybe one day I come to new York hit those spots. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. Especially the Taco, burger, and pizza Restaurant. I got to try boba tea. My question is it possible to see all of new York and eat at all those spots in 7 days? Like stay in manhattan 1 night, brooklyn 1 night, and so on soo forth? Like a happy Southern got off a flight at JFK on Sunday, first time in New York, and didn't leave till Saturday. Keep going with these vids. Jason North Carolina
