East Village. NYC. Cheap Eats Food Crawl!

I spend a day exploring and eating cheap food in the East Village neighborhood of New York City. I start my food crawl at Village Square Pizza and have an incredible Sicilian pepperoni slice. Next, I get a delicious Korean corn dog at Two Hands. Then, I point out the unique Brooklyn Dumpling Shop and their dumpling automats. Later, I get coffee at Blank Street Coffee before eating yubuchobap at Yubu. Finally, I get a cupcake from Butter Lane for my dessert.

How convenient that most of your restaurants of choice were in a nice, tidy line!

[@Jamesnu]

I know right! This is a lazy food crawl!

[@tomahern8967]

And only $20 that’s a steal! Great video!

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! Yeah, I really got my money's worth!

[@Mac10138]

Great video. Keep them coming in 2022 🤙🏻🇬🇧

[@Jamesnu]

For sure! Thank you so much!

[@johwa9680]

You visited a lot of places in one day!

[@Jamesnu]

Yep! It was a productive food crawl!

[@itzBambie]

the corndog looked really good

[@Jamesnu]

It was so good!

[@choochalah]

is it just me that gets excited when the pepperoni turns into a little greasy cup? that slice was perfect!!! That Korean corndog is interesting. nothing like that in Toronto that I know of. looked like a late night after drinks kind of food!! the rice bag thing looked interesting. Cupcake looked delish! thanks for giving the price of the 5 stops! 20 bucks is great

[@Jamesnu]

I also really enjoy that style of pepperoni! It has a nice textural element that compliments the pizza nicely. Yeah, everything was priced very fairly. It was a great lunch, but a long one!

[@Booshay__]

You’ve not seen Chun Chun Ricedog? They are everywhere

[@rrtx250]

Channel is so underrated man, subbed. Just moved to the east village btw!

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! I really appreciate it! The East Village is an amazing neighborhood!

[@NoahEats]

Love that you compared Village Square to Prince Street Square. Which is really better :) Korean corn dogs are too hard to eat! No trays at Brooklyn Dumpling Shop? That Yube looks great! Solid video as usual!

[@Jamesnu]

Haha! Thank you! Yeah, I love Prince Street, but I just wasn't expecting Village Square to be as good as it was. I know what you mean about Korean corn dogs, but I think it's worth the struggle. They didn't have trays at Brooklyn Dumpling Shop when I was there, but thankfully I still managed to bring my food to the table without dropping it.

[@TaylorSpencer]

Ug I miss this city! Everything looked so good

[@Jamesnu]

I know what you mean! It was all really good!

[@borispeper6981]

that looked so damn delicious.

[@Jamesnu]

It was all so good!

[@thecrimedog8424]

Thank you for the book suggestion!! The wife was asking about your book posting. Lol

[@Jamesnu]

Haha! Thanks always for watching!

[@bicgohill8756]

Thank you!!!

Paul Theroux wrote an interesting supernatural novel ..the black house..read it years ago..I recommend the quincunx by charles palliser if your looking for an atmospheric autumn/winter novel..

[@Jamesnu]

I didn't know that. I'm trying to pick up Theroux's books when I can, but I'll look out for that one. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@WriteFireForFire]

Having just moved here I can say Butter Lane cupcakes are amazing!

[@Jamesnu]

Indeed! They're awesome!

[@josephciolino2865]

Update required.

[@Jamesnu]

Indeed! There's definitely a lot more restaurants that I would like to cover there.

[@josephciolino2865]

@@Jamesnu Not only that, but prices have gone through the roof.

[@Jamesnu]

@@josephciolino2865 Things have definitely gotten more expensive.

[@ayem6948]

4:50 this makes me feel sad!

[@Jamesnu]

I know what you mean!

[@SweetCarolineTravels]

I just posted a video about London’s East Village - check it out and tell me how it compares to yours!! Xxx

[@Jamesnu]

I just saw your video. Very interesting. I never knew that London also had a neighborhood called the East Village.

[@SweetCarolineTravels]

@@Jamesnu you should visit if you're in the UK! It also has food markets every weekend so you could do a comparison! :D

[@Jamesnu]

@@SweetCarolineTravels Yeah, It's been awhile since I've been in the UK, but I hope to go back soon!

[@barcher]

thuh ROO, not thuh ROW.

[@Jamesnu]

Indeed! Thanks for letting me know!

[@trevoroconnell254]

Don’t support Brooklyn dumplings ever.

[@Jamesnu]

It's not a restaurant that I plan on going back to.
