Are this places far apart ?

[@ak47dragunov]

As someone born and raised in NY, lived there for almost 25 years and would be the first to rag on the city, this channel somehow makes me excited to come back and explore all over again

[@kingstoler]

People spend thousands on traveling to Grand Canyon, seeing the Eiffel Tower, the Bahamas. Me? I'd buy a plane ticket and fly to Billy's hot dog cart.

[@Righteous85]

You must can’t cook.

[@jimmyadaro]

There are channels dedicated to that task 😂

[@jonathanhege5029]

I would travel to Billy's hotdog stand too!

[@basilkandidate]

Agreed. But I'd also grab a group of friends, fly with them, and visit places like Maiella, Serendipity 3, DŌ, Cookie Dough Confections, dozens of bakeries, and Schwartz's Deli.😂

[@claretheworm]

XD I'd buy a ticket to NYC just to eat Chinese food in flushing 😂

[@johncunningham7178]

I came to NY in June last year and binge watched Jon's channel. It basically structured my whole visit. I did Billy's hotdog cart, Bleecker St Pizza and went to so many of the hidden gems that are off the tourist path. Keep up the good work Jon because I am already planning my next trip!!

[@yoitsmarkson]

You got an itinerary :)?

[@johncunningham7178]

@@yoitsmarkson sorry, didn't even realise this was here! This was what I did: Friday 10th June Food tour - 10:30am Saturday 11th Central Park & Museum? Sunday 12th Wander aimlessly Monday 13th 9/11 Memorial and tour - 11am & One world trade centre observation deck, Comedy Cellar Tuesday 14th Highline & Chelsea Market then Broadway show Wednesday 15th Bronx zoo Thursday 16th Movie bus tour - 11am Friends Tour - 4pm Friday 17th Check out 11am I used Jon's channel for a lot of food recommendations and just did them on the fly as I was out and about. The food tour I did was from a guy called Nice Guy Tours on Tripadvisor. He was great and took us to a few of the spots than Jon had recommended too

glad you enjoyed!

That bagel was perfect. I heard the crunch as you were biting into the bagel. Perfect

I need to go back to NYC ASAP. Every time I miss this city, I just go to your channel, Jon. You never fail to entertain and educate while making me feel like I'm just right there with you. :)

[@kitrudd2336]

A friend just sent us a gift certificate for Sarges deli last week. I’ve been in the hospital at NYP and I asked for some support for my wife. He said “that was the best pastrami I’ve ever had.“ So it was great to see that you endorsed it! Since I’m out at the hospital now, I think we’re gonna use that GC, real soon!

[@HereBeBarr]

Feel Better!

[@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961]

get well soon

[@richardwallace6313]

Pizza Park got me through a stay at MSK during the height of Covid--never even went into the place, but my wife could bring me a slice during the very limited visiting hours in those days (after I was cleared for food)

[@tysonb3568]

Awwsome!!!

[@PatrickHiggins-iy5bn]

Sarges has the best pastrami hands down. Visited from Scotland last year

[@MamaCarola1]

That little park you sat in to eat your bagel is such a nice quiet feeling spot

[@spaleds]

Billy was one of the best experiences we had in NY, few years ago. By pure luck we bump to his cart, glad to see he is still there and doing well!

[@cdtkabag139]

so what’s special? he made the hotdog himself?

Been watching Jon’s videos for the last six months, another fantastic and insightful video, my wife with pen and paper taking notes. Only 5 weeks to go to our fist trip to the USA. Keep up the great work and wishing Ben a speedy recovery.

[@Jan96106]

That bagel you begin with looked delicious, and I'm Polish, so it has my approval. That pastrami also looked delicious. Everything looks good. You have good taste.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

was in NYC last August. Just had to try few slices of pizza, a bagel & of course cheesecake ♥

Jon I get so overwhelmed with the amount of options you have for food in NYC ! There is just so many great options !

[@georgiasmith7615]

Love Absolute Bagels! Went there when I was a student at Columbia. My favorite downtown place is Tompkins Square Bagels.

[@bonniepwtf]

That is the pizza of my dreams, has been since you first featured it. The filming of it today was so good, it was like I could reach out & snag a slice.🍕 Thanks Jon.

[@HereBeBarr]

It was!!

Perfect timing for this video. Heading to NYC for the first time this weekend. Thanks so much!

We, me&my kids from Switzerland took a taxi 1 month ago to eat a hotdog at Billies. Thank you for the advice, we gave 10$ tip and talk about THIS yt channel! It was great!

[@seanlyness84]

My wife and I just arrived home to Ireland from NYC this morning.. Yesterday we visited Billy's (what an absolute gentleman) for one of his famous hotdog's, by far the best I had in our time there.. Next stop was Absolute bagels, sooo good! We then made our way into midtown and went to The Hugh and tried the spiced pork chops and ramen that you reviewed in another vid, the food was amazing! So happy we watched your vids beforehand, thank you for putting in the time and effort! 😁

[@SerialChronicles]

On work making my mouth water.

[@cobracommander4378]

[@elle_sanchez]

Yesssss, Bleecker Street Pizza 🍕🙌🏼😋

[@catherinec8960]

I can vouch for Absolute Bagels. I was a cop in the area and we were always there. The everything bagels especially when hot are the best. The coffee is great too,has a mocha undertone. Billy’s hot dogs are great too. I remember the cart well.

Sarges is my absolute favorite for Pastrami and a square kinish with a Doc Brown's Black Cherry❤❤❤

[@brando7266]

What is the price for the pastrami?

[@melimel2990]

That pizza looks amazing. Definitely gonna hit that spot up. I have fond memories of Sarges,always used to go late with an ex and their sandwiches never failed us.

Appreciate the props to the UWS, not much food content on KZbin. I know it’s not the most known part of the city, however Absolute Bagels is among the best.

[@longdatedoptionsleaps6112]

Smoke meat hands down Swartz in Montreal … get it with a Cherry coke / pickle / fries

[@maitrehg]

By a mile. Montreal bagels are way better too.

[@longdatedoptionsleaps6112]

@@maitrehg YES!!! I haven’t a clue why people think NYC bagels are good, once u have a St Viateur bagel it’s hard to eat another bagel again u just realize how poor a substitute they are. I use to live in Montreal from the late 1980s till mid 1990s. I would eat at Swartz and get a dozen bagels ALL the time. I unfortunately haven’t been back to Montreal in 20years. Swartz was awesome it wasn’t a tourist trap back then it was mostly locals in the neighborhood. My brother buys St Viateur bagels in Rochester NY so I get my annual fix every Xmas when I visit I then pack a couple dozen for my flight back to Medellin. There are so amazing Greek restaurants as well in Montreal however not sure if they are still around.

[@milehighfooddude]

That Nonna Maria is calling my name!!!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Absolute is definitely one of the best bagels in the city!

[@HereBeBarr]

I totally agree!

[@kanonik27]

I voted 4 position. And generally it’s one of my favorite dishes.

I was so cloooose to Billy’s hot dog stand but my kids ended up getting tired and hungry after playing in Central Park that we settled for pizza. I left Central Park so sad. I’m gonna try again this Saturday, but am thinking china town.

[@lc11214]

I love Eileen. They make the best cheesecake. I had their red velvet one.

[@Montix]

I really love Eileen, I just randomly found it while staying over the weekend in Tribeca. Since then I have returned quite some times. Morning run by the Hudson and a cheesecake after lunch has been one of my favorites.

[@divemasteruk]

Ay up mate, great videos, so looking forward to our pending trip at Christmas. Are you able to do some videos on seasons.

We tried Sarges today and it might have been the best meal we’ve had yet! Walked in at 5PM and immediately got a booth! Not a chance we could have done that at Katz!

[@francescogiovannizollo]

Hi! I was in NYC last summer and went to the Frances Tauvern in Lower Manhattan: I think that place deserves a visit, not only for the food which is really good but also for the history that is attached to the place. Not only is it the oldest civil building in Manhattan, but it used to be visited by important personalities of the Revolutionary era like George Washington, who did his farewell speech to the army right there! It's definitely worth checking out if you are a history buff like me

[@monkeyballs512]

It’s definitely interesting and worth a visit, but it is very much a tourist spot and not an iconic NYC institution.

[@woods93bullet44]

You know everytime I go somewhere new I love trying the food staples and I still gone to NYC yet and when I got I’m telling you I’m gonna spend a full day trying foods

Bleecker Street is absolutely the best pizza! The crust has the perfect crunch. 😍

[@alanglick4287]

Yes, I would also recommend Dr. Brown’s Cel-Rey to go with any pastrami sandwich. The taste by itself may seem weird at first, so take a bite of the sandwich first and then sip the Cel-Rey.

[@hughrynal01]

Went to Billy’s Hot Dog stand when in New York last week. What a lovely guy. Also went to Bleeker Street Pizza. The Nonna Maria was amazing. One pizza between three of us was plenty!!!

[@crazeyjoe]

The Bleeker Street pie looks fantastic!

[@A94-c5z]

I'm not doubting the wonder of billy's hotdogs, but I think Gray's Papaya is a must try for tourists!! Their hotdogs and papaya juice are SO delicious and it's such an iconic spot! I haven't tried Billy's yet (though def plan to now) and it's def a different experience since it's in a classic food cart, but Gray's is also a must for an NYC hotdog experience.

[@monkeyballs512]

The Recession special is key. Billie’s is right on the park, tho, so it’s an area that tourists will already be. Good choice for vacationers, because it won’t require a special trip like Gray’s might
