Thanks for taking me on this adventure! TikTok actually has some amazing food recommendations now.

[@lisalewis6631]

Loved the honesty from both of you, especially on the gnocchi! 👍

[@Firestorm055x]

You’ve done well AK! I enjoyed watching you and Jon together.😊

[@HereBeBarr]

Always a fun collab

[@Pintexx]

Always love seeing you on the channel.

Been following since day 1 bro (not literally) haha. Might as well start doing food reviews lol

[@Firestorm055x]

OMG! Did you and AK eat all that food in one day?😳 I love this video Jon, good Job😁

[@ausflygirl3430]

What a treat seeing you and AK together breaking down these delicious foods that are unique in ways. Honesty too, good, fair ratings! Hope to see you collab more

Belgians cook this frites in beef tallow. It makes a big difference.

[@LouisFrederiek]

Thanks for bringing up the history of our Belgian Fries! You should one day visit our country and go to a ‘frituur’ and try frietjes with stoofvleessaus and a frikandel!

[@bonniepwtf]

Was fun to see all these & hear your & AK opinions.

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

This was fun to see & experience. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@Rebeccaw812]

Everything looks delicious except the price. The Gnocchi is a no for me even at $10 it is store bought Gnocchi and I can't justify paying that for a pasta you can get for $2 at a Trader Joe's. Thank you for doing this video. I don't and won't buy something just because a so-called influencer is show casing it. Feels inauthentic to me. I trust you and your recommendations. I am wondering did you eat / film this all-in-one day???? I am always amazed at how much you can eat that is a compliment. P.s Milano Market on the UWS / Morningside Heights has a-mazing Italian sandwiches worth a visit. Bon Appetit!

[@gavinurbano67]

It’s almost like those places have to pay the same insane rent prices that everyone else in the city does you actually think they want to charge those prices when people like you exist

[@chad2522]

Can get the same thing minus the burrata in Montreal for $5 CAD. Chinese takeout box and everything too.

[@suecampbell4811]

Jon's friend was more honest about his critiques - value for the money, condiments used, etc. I'm glad he's not just pitching every item.

[@evelong06]

I’m spending all next week in the city.. I kid you not I’ve been watching your vids the past month, taking notes 😭 Thank you!!!

[@rationalcapitalist]

I believe the the bread at All' Antico is a Tuscan bread style called schiacciata which is a little different than focaccia. I think their sandwiches are great, but if you're ever back in NJ try to check out Farinolio in Westfield. Their version of schiacciata is lighter and crispier and I like it a lot more. They also have amazing Italian pastries. My wife and I generally go into the city for great food, but we always say that Farinolio can hang with the best of NYC.

[@willscottytv]

11 quid for dirty fries! That's bonkers.

[@nix_cosplay]

Fishbowl costs half as much in Australia! I'm shocked. I'm excited to try Belfries

[@JaimeDavis17]

I was about to say that All’Antico is often a between show stop on a two show day for a fairly cheap but filling sandwich close to the theatres

[@KerliYN]

Now, I feel hungry for any of these snacks. Gosh!!!

[@chandrarowe1972]

As a Belgian-American, I love the double fried fries in the paper cone, typical Belgian. But for the love of all that is sacred to our fries, leave all the extras behind and just eat them with mayonnaise 😊 If you ever make it out here, I'll show you around 😊

[@greenmachine5600]

I must say though, fries are actually peruvian/indigenous and south American. They were the first people to fry sliced potatoes. It seems like eurocentrism to give credit to Belgians and Europeans

[@westie430]

​Well since the Americans were in Europe for wars etc, I think that they figured that was where fries originated. I'm sorry but Americans weren't hanging out in South America much way back in the day. I've never once heard this bit of info. When did this start?@@greenmachine5600

Love your channel! Would love more vids like this :) And fun fact! "ThisBowl" is called "FishBowl" in Australia

[@vincebrown8280]

Nice vlog. I'd try ThisBowl the next time I'm in town. With rice in it, it's a bowl in my opinion and not a salad. It was well crafted from the looks.

[@sandranynj7118]

Truffle Belgium Fries my pick! 👍🏽

[@jfox9126]

Oh my that supremely enjoyable - I want that croissant! A lot of these, I would make into two meals and supplement with my own food from the grocery store.

[@jonathanwingmusic]

For 4 years I've lived just a few blocks away from Bel Fries and surprisingly I've never tried them! Just the idea of a pile of fries and sauce never appeals to me as an entire meal. Definitely seems to be a popular spot for the late night bar crowds for obvious reasons. One of these days I'll have to give it a try and perhaps split with a friend, it does look good!

[@Teddy31976]

Great video. Thanks 😊

I had Bel Fries at their stand at the Bastille Day fest. Glad to learn they have a storefront! (I'm late)... The fries are totally worth the price for a filling treat, in my opinion.

[@MyNameIsWhat118]

Has nobody mentioned that the gnocci place is a rip-off of this hole-in-the-wall in Montreal's Mile-End ? It's called Drogheria Fine, it is 5$ gnoccis with tomato sauce and parm, in the same chinese to-go box. It's been here for 10 years, featured in bon appetit and every tourist's must do list.

[@johnpestano22]

those all Antico sandwiches are huge and i could tell they are fulling it's something you can split in a day. lunch and dunner the price is worth it to me i have to try it it's good they have 5 locations in the city.

[@noellefair4373]

That third place is like the panino shops they have all over Rome and they are amazing!!!

[@letsrolloutnyc]

Great video Jon, i would have to try these places for my self and see how they are. 😎

[@ilyaLNYC]

Looks like fun hang out / activity - follow TikTokers😀 Im not that brave 😂 Btw that salad based on ingredients pretty much a poke bowl rather than salad.

[@ivanrubio7096]

Dear Sir, I would like to thank you for your informative videos. They were very useful during our resent visit to NYC. You are completely right with Times Square, that place is completely overrated. We went and we instantly regrated it. Again your advises in regards transportation, ferries and food were extremely valuable.

[@Tomblr_Beats]

As a Belgian on this channel i must say It's cool that they give it a name like BELfries But here... Fries are alot different with their sauces For instance, we always eat our Fries with samurai or sometimes with mayonaise When the fries are crispy and salty, that means you have a good friet (----- Flemish word for fries) I've eaten some fries in different kind of cities, even new york, and it could not really stand next to the fries over here As for services... New York people who work behind the counter, are extremely nice and kind Some of that we really dont see it often in some restaurants or stores here Next year i'm heading back to new york So i'm gonna try this restaurant to see if it lives up to the expection of our Fries 1 small tip for everybody that are reading this and decides to visit.... Do not buy fries in big name cities like Brussel or Antwerp Because they ask alot of money Instead... Go look for a frituur in 1 of the smaller cities surrounding them They coast alot less and they are much tastier 😊

[@thomasbello221]

Have you ever had pommes fritters on the east side mcdougal street there good also.

[@keska01]

[@michaelchin3550]

[@ashofaphoenix]

As someone who lives enxt to Bel Fries gotta disagree. But they are one of the few places do belgium style. The best fry in New York is at Dame/Lords and is their "proper" british chips.

[@georgia1932]

From the uk we definitely call them chips when they are chunkier than “french fries”

[@gnomevoyeur]

Inflation keeps on happening and it gets weirder, the older you get. $10 being a "cheap" lunch blows my mind.

[@HereBeBarr]

Yep

[@thebairdMi]

wow I paid more for a lunch at Friday's in 2002 then the cost of that pasta in 2024

[@diuneimaaaaaa]

$10+ for fries is diabolical pricing.

[@Spunkiewolf]

The thing is with the fries, You only get the sauces on the top. The one's in the middle and bottom, have nothing on them. I also think they are way overpriced for what you are getting.

[@midnightrambler9719]

That's the best salame you ever had because... it's not salame. It's "sbriciolona" (or finocchiona), a typical cured meat from Florence and Tuscany which is aromatized with fennel.

I had pasta to go in Europe. It’s been a thing their for a while
