My favorite New York KZbinrs hanging out and eating delicious food. Queens is my 2nd favorite Borough of NYC (the first being Manhattan) I love how diverse Queens is when it comes to culture,people and Food!

[@staceydunn6094]

Yes more with Action Kid and Here be Barr!!!!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Sal, Kris and Charlie’s - an Astoria classic!

[@HereBeBarr]

I knew you'd love this video!!

[@ActionKid]

All their sandwiches there are awesome. Their Italian Combo rocks too!

[@bryangreenspan1]

@@ActionKid Agreed, I have been to several deli's with a decent Italian, this one is in the top 10.

[@grahamgordon2163]

My spot doesn’t need to be blown up anymore!

[@mstone1567]

I used to live a block away from Sal, Kris and Charlie's back when Charlie was still alive. He would take scraps off the cutting board, dollop a a little veg on it, roll it up and hand it over the counter to customers. If he handed you something, you ate it, the combination he would put together was always amazing!

[@user-or6yn8pm3c]

I was at Samaria yesterday. Yeah great place. I love the old vibe too. Good to see its still open.

[@japhetzayas7194]

I'm from Elmhurst, Queens and bike to Astoria for good eats, especially in good weather where many eateries set up outside. Pizza and gyro spots abound as well as restaurants with more elaborate menus. My favorite spot is Chicken Shack, where you can get a quarter chicken and quarter rack of ribs plate with fries, rice and beans, or a salad. Filling and delicious fare for a casual outing. Thanks to this post I will know where to focus my future food excursions.

[@merlin19799]

Pastitsio is with pasta, mousaka is with eggplants and potatoes

[@Jaycation]

Whenever i see AK in your video im in awe that you have a celebrity as a friend! AK the GOAT!

[@HereBeBarr]

he's the GOAT

[@TheAbxgirl]

This helps non NYC folks understand how residents still live in NYC and eat out. The cheap eats are way better than the high fallutin places. BTW I have a friend with Dept of Health those Michelin Five star restaurant kitchens😳You really do not want to know .

[@mrn13]

Michelin only have 1 to 3, when it comes to their star ratings.

[@TheAbxgirl]

@@mrn13 My apologies but still even if it is top dollar and famous it does not guarantee a grade A.

[@steveh9789]

Is it safe in that area

[@TheAbxgirl]

@steveh9789 Yes just like any large city anywhere just use common sense and you will be fine. Enjoy your visit

[@luismiguelare8790]

ActionKid's reaction while eating moussaka made my day. Definitely. 😂 Bravo, guys!!

[@NormaGeli]

Now I'm craving a deli sandwich for breakfast lol

[@HereBeBarr]

😂😂 I'm craving Vegas's Steak and Eggs for breakfast

[@yojuviey]

I swear late night munchies

[@jennifer801]

That bagel looked good. I’m such a bagel person. I’ve had a bagel with cream cheese for dinner many times. Pizza. Of course who doesn’t love a regular slice of pizza. Those dollar pizzas are crap. Tacos. Mexican. Burritos, that’s actually what I’m having for dinner tonight. Greek food. Astoria is known for good Greek food. Growing up we’d say let’s go to Greek town to get some yummy Greek dinner. Queens, NY has such great diverse restaurants.

[@1jackvalley580]

I love the cheap cozy neighborhood joints that are so comfortable and have the best food. Great videos showing us that we don't have to make a million dollars to be able to go out and enjoy great food. ❤️🙏

[@detectivesingh]

As someone who lives in Astoria, I can tell you that some of the places shown in the video are worth a try.

[@chrisjames5254]

The Bomb is rite of passage, Best sandwich ever.And I mean ever. Awsome, we drive from to Nj just to get them

[@Tabby.cat2]

You my friend, are the reason why I’m braving the travel challenges to visit NY! Have to do some research though. I’ll be there with in the next few weeks 😉!!!

[@tips4tourists790]

My friend, you have to hit up Napoli. I went to high school nearby and ate Italian food there quite often. The prices literay cannot be beat and the quality of the food is incredible

[@michaelchin3550]

Please do a part two! Plenty more good cheap eats in Astoria.

[@HereBeBarr]

Great idea 💡

[@JordanDinRI]

My wife and I lived in Astoria for 5 years (I grew up in nearby Whitestone) and 10 years on now and living out of state, the number one thing we miss is the food! ❤

[@deanevangelista6359]

I had one set of grandparents in Whitestone, and the other in Astoria. Both are great places.

[@Kani-xm5uf]

YESSSS Astoria is my town! We have amazing cheap food so keep coming!

[@Kani-xm5uf]

You can literally get a everything bagel, with cream cheese for a dollar! That’s so good for New York

[@tips4tourists790]

I went to Frank Sinatra for a good 4 years, so even though I haven't grown up in Astoria, I've ate at Napoli Pizza and Pasta at least once every 2 weeks after school, and even celebrated my 16th birthday there. It's single handedly my favorite Italian restaurant in NYC, and I'm glad to see it's still in business. Brooklyn Bagel Company is also a great place to get some dope bagels and I fancy the location in Astoria more than the one you went to with your twin in Manhattan. Blessed to see another amazing video like this Jon. There's definitely more places in the area to show

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks Ian

[@tips4tourists790]

@@HereBeBarr Jon, thank Actionkid! He's the man for showing you and Adriana around. I'm definitely hitting up the sandwich shop for sure

[@ActionKid]

Awesome food tour with you Jon! I'm still in foodie heaven dreaming of the Moussaka. Hopefully the dry cleaning will be able to take the BOMB out of your pants 🤣 And somebody please tell me the secret of the bagel garden!

[@HereBeBarr]

👆👆😂😅

[@christinecamley]

Fabulous co-host tour of fab foods, Ken!! Love you and Jon - you are both terrific co-hosting! I was so hungry watching today!!

[@tips4tourists790]

Actionkid, I can shake your hand right now. This video brings back some good high school memories I had pre pandemic. I went to Frank Sinatra for a good 4 years, and I want to Napoli Pizza and Pasta quite often. I celebrated my 16th birthday there and I ate there since I was 13.

[@abduluddin6541]

you missed on zyara and durzan both great also mahmuds corner are just a few

[@bonniepwtf]

Definitely want a part 2, if not more. So great seeing Ken & Lady A. What great deals on that food, all looked delicious. Thanks Jon.

[@carric9962]

I love that the cream cheese costs more than the bagel. I always get 2 bagels because I am not afraid of carbs. Then I only get Cream cheese on 1 because there is enough to share on the other.

[@jamiesei]

Brooklyn Bagel is EVERYTHING! Their Chelsea location was my go-to in college. It's not the cheapest of bagel places but it's the absolute best.

[@naturegirl8104]

Oh yeah. Seriously wanting a part 2, a part 3 and a part . . . . Well, you get the idea. Thank you, Barr, Arianna & Action Kid. ♡

[@celsacaunedo9261]

Awesome video, I love the part of the bagels growing in the garden, so many great restaurants in Astoria , my two sons were born in Astoria and my mom lived there until 5 years ago that she came to live with us in Norwood, N.J., sadly April 3 2020 we lost her to Covid and now she is resting with my dad and grandmother at Maple Grove cemetery in Kew Gardens in Queens which she loved, thank you and God bless you!

Sorry for your loss.... happily you have great me memories, I hope 😔

Your reaction to your first bite of mousakka sums it up, haha. I have to try that place.

[@joannavaldez7218]

You need to visit St James deli 34-02 34th avenue in Astoria their tacos and tortas are amazing and they have a one of a kind green sauce!

[@jaysahni45]

Don’t give away the secret spots! Lol

[@BigPappaLos]

Try Orale Tacos... 23-23 30th Ave. Shrimp tacos are delicious.

[@alanl2550]

Part two by all means, yes! Everything looked outstanding. I kept saying ok that’s my favorite, no the next one is, etc. wow such a treasure trove of deliciousness!👍💯

[@omarp.garcia4734]

Try out Sorriso pork store salumeria on 44th street and 30 ave!

[@justmeyo4589]

My two fave NYC youtubers in one video!! Jackpot!!!

[@WinterSoldier0315]

Lived in Astoria for 5 years. Love that area. I think you definitely need a Part 2. Some of the best Greek food I have ever had was at Taverna Kyclades. On Ditmars. Their Greek salad is amazing, their grilled octopus is too, everything is delicious and not overpriced.

[@happinesssomewhere18]

Stamtis is so good

[@swong705]

Please more Astoria and Jackson Heights.

[@Kani-xm5uf]

Yeah!

[@HaleyMary]

Never seen a bagel with so much cream cheese! That looks delicious!

[@renpilak6048]

I’m surprised to know that Jon never had moussaka before! Growing up in NJ, almost every diner is owned and run by Greek families! I loved their Greek choices! Opa!

Loved this tour! I'd love to see you do a series ranking the best of different crave-able foods, like the best ice cream in NY. the best mac & cheese, best cake, best melted cheese, best cookies, and best sushi, best vegan, best vegetarian etc. Thanks, big fan of your energy and insights!!

[@HereBeBarr]

That's an interesting idea ;) I like these videos b.c i can shoot them in one day. Production wise, that could be tough. But let's see.

[@DK-vn7lr]

My favorite pizza in Astoria is at Rizzo's on Steinway. The most unique pizza in the city. The only place I get the Sicilian square slice. I strongly recommend it

[@ED-ie3et]

I like that they have vegan options

[@christinecamley]

Hey, Jon! You and Ken are fabulous taste testing these fab foods!! Oh, damn, I miss NY, and the Burroughs, for the great foods to find. That pizza looks great and for only $2.50 a slice? Insane!! The Mexican deli sounded spectacular!! Yes to carnitas and cilantro!! You are both awesome as co-hosts of vids!! Keep doing these food tastings!! You both rock!!

[@LOLouieG]

Awesome channel, I've watched all your NY videos in two weeks. We'll be going to there the first week of December. Can you tell me how cold it usually gets at that time? You seem to be wearing a lighter jacket in your winter videos. Thanks!

[@HereBeBarr]

Depends on the year. Average... 35-40 degree highs i'd say. could be less or more.

[@LOLouieG]

@@HereBeBarr Thanks!

[@ericwinter4513]

I’m looking forward to checking these places out. I live in Astoria, and you turned me on to Cafe Boulis. Love those donuts!

There are a lot of cheap middle eastern places on stienway too. Especially wraps. Under $8

[@chefgabiel3939]

Great video John..been to a few of those places..queens rock..love college point

[@carlafannin8901]

I’ve lived in the city for 28 years and twenty of those were in Astoria. You missed some of the best and cheapest places. St. James Deli owned by a Mexican family has the best tacos I’ve ever tried anywhere and it’s on 34th & 34th. Greek food would be Taverna Kyclades on Ditmars. Cheapest breakfast at Mini Star on Steinway. Pizza would be Sac’s when it comes out fresh on Broadway. Best kebabs on corner of Steinway and 31st Ave by Banana Republic. The list goes on. Best place for food in Queens is Astoria hands down.

[@slicksmith856]

Andrew and Frank's, I miss that place... John and Andrew are awesome.

[@Apar1026]

If they only knew… but what do you expect from tourist

[@MrStenuine17]

[@peteyd6228]

Always enjoy these neighborhood food videos. So well done.

[@edvaira6891]

9:20...the way to handle that INSANE sandwich is to use it as a source for, liked five different smaller sandwiches! Heck, you could source ingredients for lunch for several days running and not repeat yourself!

[@Ninarosemiel]

Yes thank you! A part 2! That sub looked great!

[@tunisiarawles]

Amen to the bagel place, that's how a bagel with cc must be served, without asking for the 'proper' amount of cc.. I miss that and I wish all of the places on this review much prosperity after putting up with the hard-bullshit of the lockdowns.
