Is it HYPE?! -- Grilled NYC S3 E16 (Affordable)

[@margarett_b]

0:46 Sooo, we need to crowdfund your dining experience there! :D You definitely deserve going there not only for how awesome you are and how much work end time you put into creating content but also considering that you give back to your local community through filling fridges in the area! I mean, if not you, then who!? Having said that, places like Grilled NYC are 100% a much more relatable and achievable spot for most of us here so you don't have to spend 400$ for a dining experience - let's ait till they invite you ;P

[@deec6535]

$400/person?! That’s insane. Affordable options ALL THE WAY!!

[@margarett_b]

3:58 The extent to which you always work out the best possible spot to film is always very appreciated Rebecca! However, remember that it does not have to be perfect and you don't have to change the place 3 times or excuse yourself for it to not being quiet or with good lighting :D We love these videos anyways!

[@margarett_b]

5:35 I love they choose really great quality products for their dishes even if it means they they are slightly more expensive for them to make as a result. And they fact they are keeping the burgers etc still affordable is awesome!

[@Rosie-hp5jr]

I'd also love a more "healthy" spots video or is it hype. Somewhere for nutritious food as there's so many quick bites and nyc classics but more nutritious or health focused seem to be few and far between :)

[@bodegacatx]

I feel like it’s the opposite? We have sooooo many smoothie and salad spots in NYC with vegan options. That’s why I don’t bother to shoot at them really. But if enough ppl are interested, I might do a few.

[@paulywolley]

Good call on reviewing a place most of us can afford (but for your sake I hope you get to try Eleven Madison Park, even better by their invitation!). On a tangent, after being reminded about Lekka in your other video I ran over there and of course it was their off day... so I decided to walk over to Jerrell's to try them out and it was their off day too lol! OK, keep up the great content!

[@bodegacatx]

What awful luck! I hope you get to try them eventually!

[@Frandallina]

I would also like to see more healthy type vegan food restaurants/ menus. I plan to visit NYC one day and would like to know the options there other than fake meat sandwiches and burgers. I just spent 3 days in a city other than mine and only found bean burger options at most restaurants there. Yes, some salads that I could have if they held the cheese but I'm tired of bean burgers and skimpy salads. There is so much more creativity to vegan foods than fake meats. I know you do showcase some places that are creative and would like to see more. I'd also like to see more of your own and your mom's cooking. 😃

[@abigailrose9939]

what a steal! in my area (Boston suburbs), two vegan sandwiches with fries costs like $25

[@allyncampbell9834]

Best to keep it affordable. Love how you started this video off. Brilliant⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@sophieg3953]

In Colombia they stuff their arepas with carne desmechada or shredded meat so it’s not a weird combo at all, can’t wait to try one day

[@margarett_b]

3:00 This looked so so good! And I mean, 27$ still seems like a lot to me but NYC is an expensive place in general so compared to the average, it really isn't that bad! Plus, how cute are these minty trays and all the colorful wrappers?!

[@justinejulia6873]

Comes out to $5.40 per item if you take the $27 divided by the five things she got, which for restaurant style burgers and sandwiches, especially vegan, doesn't seem too bad! Obviously some were more and less expensive, but I just decided to find the mean since it is easiest.

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

My white Australian ass didn't know what arepas were and had to google it lol but that looked good and also easier to eat! Imagine the breakfast sandwich on those, mmmm. Also you just were like GOODBYE FRIES

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another excellent Is it hype! video from the beautiful, lovely and gorgeous Rebecca. Love 🥰the video and love 💕Rebecca.

[@stace_d]

I love the places you visit, but for the people who want reviews of more healthy options, perhaps you could make it a challenge to NOT get a salad or smoothie, lol.... I mean, because you're right, in NY salads and smoothies are easy to find

[@sarahk651]

I was planning on going there tomorrow! Thank you!😍

[@jessiel766]

Please try out vegan Chinese restaurant " fat choy" in lower east side. Heard good things about the place. I'm sure there are a lot of restaurants with name "fat choy" since it's a such common name. So please make sure you go to the vegan one. ,,😉

[@bodegacatx]

Already shot a review there! :)

[@jessiel766]

Wow everything looks delicious & affordable nice.

We can start donating for 11 Madison park? But in the flip side… let’s use that money for fridge fills

[@traderhines]

I would love to see the crowd that eats at Eleven Madison Park. They probably all have several Pelotons in each home.

[@strider_hiryu850]

that's a food stall, not a restaurant............................... i think. i believe the "food genre" would be home-style, and/or diner-style. don't live in the area, but looks like it's worth a visit! i like the tier list at the end. givin' me Charlie vibes.

[@bodegacatx]

I think its like a food truck with no wheels haha

[@strider_hiryu850]

@@bodegacatx i believe you just described a food stall, lol.

[@cutiepie_jojo]

I've been dying to try this spot since it's so close to me! I'm glad they're open every weekday now. Def going to stop by very soon. Also, yes Knickerbocker/Maria Hernandez Park area are insanely loud. There's a reason I no longer live on that street 😂

[@jaeblackbird3700]

I hope your charm works on the people at eleven madison 🤞😄 And I like your orange nails! 😍😊

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@jenniferk1941]

That arepa burger does sound amazing:)))) Jenxoxoxo!

[@Dheal88]

HEY, maybe the first restaurant you mentioned might invite you to try their food if you reach out to them and show them your youtube channel....so like "free promo and marketing" for exchange of you trying a few of their items...just a thought.

[@jenniferk1941]

Eleven Madison Park should invite You & Roberto to a nice dinner for 2 for You Both to reviews and give them more exposure:))) Jenxoxoxox!

[@GS-lq2is]

I've heard that Madison Eleven is like $300 or $400 dollars a person WITHOUT wine!!! I can't imagine what it is with wine - and no way I would eat such a fancy meal without wine, which is frankly the best part :) If anyone here has actually been or knows someone who has, I'd be curious what the story is - how expensive is it and how is the food?

[@general.huttslayer.pirate]

Wine pairings are another $175 on top of the $335 per person for the tasting menu!

[@GS-lq2is]

@@general.huttslayer.pirate Omg!

[@judyzarate9840]

Will you be at vegandale this weekend? The food looks really good especially the arepa burger 🍔

[@bodegacatx]

No, ill be in Philadelphia!

[@RachelSiter]

We love minimal overhead!

[@sleepforwhat1551]

that’s a whole lot for under 30 😍😋

[@junkfoodvegan]

Will you ever go back to doing vlogs where you showed going to the gym and the type of weigh training exercise you and Berto did? They were very informative.

[@bodegacatx]

No, people are pretty nasty to non-thin vegans online and I dont have the energy to deal with it unfortunately.

[@rachelshulman111]

I was going to ask about eleven Madison park but stopped myself haha. There are some reviews out there already but they seem to all be from non vegans

[@mjr7349]

Can we do a go fund me 😂 I am so interested in that expensive restaurant

[@donnam2684]

Wish I could spot you at 11 Madison Park, but ahh.....You've gotta attract wealthier subscribers! 😂😂

[@bodegacatx]

No thank you!

Those all looked great😋

[@somatteson]

Eleven Madison Truck also exists … maybe that would be a good alternative?

[@katrinlausch3078]

You mean La Pollita in Miami, but it is by an Ex-Chef. Have you been there?

That very expensive vegan restaurant is exclusive for the wealthy and famous, also so the riff raff vegans don't go there, who aren't worthy

[@bodegacatx]

Wtf

@@bodegacatx that's what the owners are thinking, they want a specific clientele. It's not my opinion obviously. That's what the rich and famous think too, they are snobs 😬
