" It is short, but it Is thick" , that's what she said. Lol

[@bangmain5355]

And delicious! Lol.

[@stace_d]

I'm glad someone said this!

[@suprememedjai4433]

I came to the comments for a girth joke lol 😂

[@melodioushaste]

Short and thick is so underrated.

[@marksuave25]

I'm telling everyone, get in on this channel early. I can easily see this channel having over 100k subs in a year...or less. I love the content!

[@bodegacatx]

Aww thank you so much!

[@marksuave25]

@@bodegacatx np, it's the truth. I've been with you prior to you having maybe even 10k subs, possibly before you had 7k subs. Your personality is the hook...trust me, keep it up.

[@mysskay]

Truth!!!

[@cameronheaney9046]

i LOVE matto’s coffee!!!! iced soy latte is amazing especially for just $2!!!!

[@edyann]

I can't wait to go to New York one day! We have over 30 restaurants in my city now but wow... New York has to be the Vegan capital of the world! Greetings from Mexico! 😘

[@chanelmone4721]

εdψ αηdrαdε I wish not in the part I’m from. I had read that Israel has the most vegans And out of the US LA would be the Vegan Capitol in the U.S. There is a lot more places in Brooklyn ( of course Manhattan).

[@edyann]

@@chanelmone4721 Well, I just wany to visit all the places in the world and their vegan restaurants. Whatever the case- I'm just so happy that veganism has exploded! :)

[@Fashionrashion]

Mato's coffee is pretty hit or miss it kinda depends on the location but its still pretty sick that you can get an iced latte with non dairy milk for only 2$

[@Fashionrashion]

also there aren't a lot of flavor options but you have to try the pick-a-bagel on 23rd st, they have the best bagels and really good tofu cream cheese

[@tenzinnamgyal2411]

U r so caring and thoughtful, always leaving that half of ur foods for your hubby🙏🏽

[@itsmelexie1]

I've tried their iced coffee with oat milk and loved it! more than worth the $2

[@serin5463]

thx for making these videos! i’m a broke college student trying to convert to plant based diet, your videos have helped me so much

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@suprememedjai4433]

If you haven't tried Gardein sausages you are missing out. The are in the frozen aisle of most supermarkets and they are great.

[@adriane4838]

Supreme Medjai the patties or traditional ones? I haven’t seen ones similar to this :(

[@suprememedjai4433]

@@adriane4838 not the patties they are meh I should have clarified. Gardein has a sliced frozen Italian sausage and it tastes great. They don't say Italian on them but I've used them in a vegan calzone, pizza, and lasagna.

[@adriane4838]

I’ll definitely keep an eye out! They sound amazing

[@lindseybelsky4065]

this videos AMAZING! Please do an acai/smoothie bowl tour trying different smoothie/açaí bowls and testing / eating them!!!!

[@thisnaturalgirlislocd]

Not vegan but really like that Beyond Sausage.... the Spicy Italian is my favorite!

[@fentonmh]

I went to the Matto in the video all summer and loved their iced oat milk mochas!

[@Coreenluvsu]

I pass by that hotdog stand daily and never knew they sold vegan hotdogs.. gotta give them a try now!

[@mikesveganlife4359]

I'm lucky to have a Rise bagel one block from my office and they have vegan sausage, vegan plain and chive cream cheese, as well as a vegan lox option (made from carrots). runs around $7 for a all-vegan sausage, creme cheese toasted bagel. and those Beyond meat sausages are the real deal for flavor.

[@susunslatky]

“Ess” means ‘eat ‘ in Yiddish (rhymes with Bess).

[@bodegacatx]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

Wow. Came prepared with containers and all. Cool.

[@JanPLopez993]

I am rewatching your old videos. Love the coffee shop ! Yeah for the Kombucha !

[@suupanoova]

Last time I bought a vegan donut from a cafe by me it cost $4.50 😭 I’m so jealous of all these good finds

[@NoirHammer]

Ess-a-Bagel is expensive, I think. Don't like that they use Pillsbury flour for their bagels. Seems kind of cheap to me.

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

NYC lunch prices do take skills to navigate; the perk is the many options though.

[@didderbugakakatie]

As someone from Iowa, I am living vicariously through you 😂

[@Yunisuku]

So true, when I got vegan like 6 years+ ago we had sooooo little vegan options.. and now.. whoah, there‘s so much "meat" stuff.. chocolate etc. I can‘t even imagine being vegan back in the days anymore 😬

[@Cheung853]

Wow the hot dog is such a great deal!! But I still prefer field roast over beyond 👀👀

[@sozuruQ2]

So excited for this video! I’ve been binge watching you and Roberto’s videos for the past few days and they’ve made me so happy, and laughed so much than I have in a while. You two are so funny and absolutely perfect for each other! Had bad depression and your videos were one of the only things to make me feel better and finally laugh and smile again. :’) you guys keep up the good work bc you totally deserve everything good that’s coming your way.

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy we were able to make you smile :)

[@SK-kw4kz]

This is such a cool series. I always think of NYC as totally unaffordable, so thanks for showing us we have options!

[@simpking01]

i love this series so much!! will use for when i go to nyc

[@atlanticvamp]

The reason there's more seasonings on the bottom of the everything bagel is probably because it gathers on the baking sheet. If they're doing multiple batches, they may not clear it off before putting down the new dough. Little Caesar's does that with corn meal.

[@juliemarro6756]

i think you can get vegan bagels at the vast majority of bagel places in bk and the city! almost every bagel place ive walked in to has had tofu cream cheese!

[@DDios-ih9de]

Julie Marro real NYC bagels are always vegan. Bialiys too..

[@Free4lyfe]

I really appreciate the cost-effectiveness of these videos and even your shopping videos I appreciate it good find and a great deal great content keep it coming you guys are awesome… PS I do think you guys will still come to Allentown and eat at the vegan restaurants here and you’ll be impressed

[@aliciajohnson3259]

Matto use to be a spot I use to go to when I was using the crunch 19 street location . Coffee after a workout yum.

[@TheIdeabaker]

I adore your personality, creativity, and content. Thank you so much! 🤗💕

[@laurenbidwell2211]

I love this series! This and your what I eat in a days are amazing!

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@baileygraykeith9072]

Unfortunately Mato’s coffee from my experience is kinda bitter and burnt tasting :/ but for $2 it’s alright once you add your milk choice and some kind of sweetener.

[@abbieamavi]

*"so, I'm excited" love how you always say this, me everyday about food* 😂😂

[@alyf.6698]

i live in CA and my friend from college lives in NY and WOO - post pandemic i need to visit

[@Olfonia]

i love watching your videos so much even though i've never even been to NYC (or the USA overall... i'm from germany) but it's awesome to see how you find all these awesome food items and restaurants... so much delicious food omg!

[@catjohnson6510]

5:50 I love matto. I use to go to the one near 86 and Columbus.

[@AussieAngeS]

I love your videos, I’m nit vegan but I appreciate the time you put into your channel to share with us your finds and all the vegan places that are good and bad.

Thank you!

please do a what i eat in a week soon:) they are so so so helpful! ik that you said you were doing less of them, but i miss them so much!! still loved this video though

I’ll film one when I’m back from Chicago!

[@candaceburton6161]

I used to work by Matteo. Everything there is pretty good including the iced coffee!

[@Lucybee79]

Omg you’re literally 3 blocks from my apartment where the hot dog place is!! Ugh wish I saw you lol

[@RobynSaavedra]

I loved the beyond meat sausage. Yours looks awesome!!!! xo

[@gabriellagrafakos5521]

Omg I think you went to the Mattos by my jooooob! Definitely going to get the kombucha next time!

[@tonihandlechner]

I love your videos!😍 (They make me want to go to New York so bad) You and others inspired me to start a vegan KZbin channel myself and it was the best decision ever!💗

[@FLYINHAWAIIAN37]

I love the beyond sausage. I dont even buy field roast anymore since nothing can beat Beyond Sausage. My pet peeve is whem people use sausages as a hot dog. The flavor of sausages just dont go with hot dog topics. (And vice versa) i couldnt imagine someone putting italian ingredients on a hot dog

[@leahz-uw4sf]

these r the best videos please never stop making them

[@HexusoftheSheep]

I know this is an old video but a donut is a shape. There are different types of donuts, some are yeast and some are cake donuts. Both types are definitely real donuts. You should just ask places if they have cake donuts or yeast ones so that you don't get disappointed. Still a real donut though.

[@bodegacatx]

Agree to disagree. The definition of donut includes the words “fried dough”. But both regular and cake donuts can be tasty.

[@TheStrengthofEmpty]

I love how brave you are! I could not film around so many people without being self-conscious. I am working on not caring what other people think, but it's hard haha. I would love to try the $2 Matto's just because it seems neat to have that kind of price option. But, I live in the middle of Illinois in the country, so that's not happening haha. BUT we do have Dunkin!

[@simplelife5578]

I would try the place where everything is 2.00

[@frankgrimes1869]

psst: order a plain english muffin, a side of hashbrowns, and a side of beyond sausage. it will still come out cheaper than an order of a sausage/egg/cheese sammie from DD!

[@Sarah-ny8lw]

Those pastries actually look big for $2!!!

[@mariamshenouda3379]

Love your dedication with your videos. Keep up the good work girl!

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@millyturner734]

sometimes when I get the beyond sandwich from dunkin they’ll ring me up for an english muffin + one beyond patty and its literally like $2.50 when they charge it that way! I’m way too lazy to make breakfast before work so so this is a game changer for me! hopefully vegan cheese/egg comes soon!

[@bodegacatx]

I’ve heard that happens! Hasent happened to me though yet!

[@caroleerowe8769]

Can't believe they have so many tofu cream cheese flavors. I can't get vegan cream cheese any where besides the grocery store across town where I live. Also, like your shirt, where is it from?

[@bodegacatx]

I got it from aritzia!

[@andrewbrandenburg8703]

I will be there certainly,thank you for post this video

[@hautecut]

go to brooklyn bagel in chelsea!

[@katherinegriffith5546]

So many vegan options. I so miss having (any) options in my new town

[@Mannymoke]

2:21 lol quick cut right there

U can't buy a baked, gluten free donut and expect it to taste anything like an actual donut. That's just cake with a crater in the middle.

[@bangmain5355]

I always dig the outtro but this one was special😁! The hop!

[@lindsaytoussaint]

Yo I can vouch for Matto's iced coffee for sure. I get it often because it's delicious. I opt for it even sometimes where one of my other apps are giving me free coffee (just to put in context since it's $2 and anything tastes good at $2 LOL)

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@gabrieladominguez5806]

This is cool. Could you put the addresses or links to yelp or whatever in the description next time?

[@bodegacatx]

I usually do that! Will try to add it when I have a few minutes!

[@surrealchemist]

@@bodegacatx Thanks! I've been watching more of your vids, and noticed that after I left my comment. I found the hotdog place by looking up the place next to it. Oh and if you want to find a couple places in the upper west side, there are a few options in the Turnstyle market underground at the Columbus Circle stop.

[@misakistalker]

I have gluten intolerance, just seeing the wheat pastries next to the gf pastries is giving me anxiety😄. probably they don't really sell them bc no sane celiac would buy it like that. that's why it's dry.

[@DrDuckk]

Thanks to your tip on Tompkin's bagels I'm addicted to them now. However I'm a little afraid (is this the right word 🤔) could they be using eggwash on there bagels? If so, not cool! :( but I really hope they're really vegan so I can keep enjoying them for the rest of my stay :)

[@bodegacatx]

I’m 99% sure they don’t but you can always ask next time you go!

[@DrDuckk]

@@bodegacatx Today they were closing early due to holiday. They gave me 3 sesame seed bagels for free 😂 next time I'll ask if they're 100% vegan. Do you know any really good "affordable" vegan pizza places in NYC? Preferably "wood fired oven" pizza 🤤

[@shannonbryanavlogs]

You're like the vegan Rachael Ray, it's great! haha

[@ThePamgauti]

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER The pastry and coffee is not considered breakfast, unless the rest of such day makes up for the lacking nutrition

[@bodegacatx]

Yeah, a lot of ppl have pastries and coffee for breakfast. And this video wasn’t about the health. It was about the cheap.

[@ThePamgauti]

Vegan Bodegacat my grandma has coffee and bread as her first “breakfast “ as well. In a world with highly malnourished people, it’s important to make it known and get serious about the whole situation. So I’m now officially commenting this every time I see it. Because health matters to me.

[@ThePamgauti]

Vegan Bodegacat i wasn’t expecting a health video but you jumped to a conclusion that I did expect that. Just pointing out that it’s a lacking breakfast UNLESS the rest of the day makes up for lacking nutrition. Which is an important disclaimer for everyone, especially new vegans watching this. Health is wealthhhhh. Good day.

[@bodegacatx]

Pamela Gauthier I’m glad it matters to you. :) Me too. But this page is about accessibility as well as health. And it’s pretty weird to go to a non-heath video and decide to comment every time how not healthy it is. Why not just watch health videos?

[@bodegacatx]

Pamela Gauthier yeah, totally. But one of my goals is to give ppl vegan alternatives to things they’re already eating. Baby steps.

[@danielmengistu1080]

You look like Natalie Portman, my favorite actress.

[@rivbirds]

hey everyone I have a question about dining/tipping in the US!! i'm visiting the US for the first time next week and I'm trying to understand tipping culture. for example in the bagel place, it was $4.85 + $0.43 tax - do you have to tip on top of this? or is tipping just for when you have waiters and table service? I would love some advice so I don't piss anyone off when I'm there!!

You mostly just tip at sit down places and coffee shops.
