Our first weekend in New York vlog - Joel and Lia 🇺🇸

[@jaciefarris9086]

I love "Too Brit to handle!" Lia also said once, "Sit down, darling, you're just a duchess." And I want that on a shirt SO BAD!!

[@davidpeterson2022]

Didn't catch the "Sit down, darling, you're just a duchess" comment, but that would be hilarious on a shirt! Was that some (maybe unintended) shade on Meghan Markle? Probably not, they both seem to really love America.

[@jaciefarris9086]

It was either in their "what Brits think of Meghan Markle" or the "strange power the monarchy has" videos. It was definitely all in jest - talking about how we call Kate and Meghan princesses, but they're really duchesses. :)

The two of you have such contagious smiles! 😊

"Too Brit to Quit" sounds better.

Folks we have a winner.

Or 2 Brit 2 Quit

Dang, didn't see this first

[@kimdye4609]

It's cookies you're in the US,it's cookies! you don't even have biscuits like we do in Britain! biscuits are totally different! we know you call cookies biscuits but biscuits are biscuits not cookies!

[@teknekon]

Still loving the vlogs! That's a waay cool loft. Really appreciate your clever observations. So much fun! And the dogs were so cute! Great job guys! Thanks so much for this video! Love and cheers! 👍💟😘🇬🇧

[@djdange01]

I'm glad you guys got to see grand central after they cleaned the ceilings. It looks amazing now. They did it like 10 years ago. They had to get 80 years of cigarette smoke off everything. I remember taking the train in from CT as a kid and barely being able to see the constellations on the ceilling. That's when NY was still kinda scary. Nothing like being 8 years old in time square and seeing nothing but open stores and sex shops

[@jamesliggins891]

Now we've got LA for that! :D

[@nyrockchicxx]

It was done more like 20+ years ago. One of the first priorities when Giuliani became Mayor was to restore GC to it's former glory.

[@julierobbs4481]

You looked like you had so much fun!!!! Love the apartment, and the slogan “Too Brit To Quit” or “Too Brit To Handle”, I think it’s great and would definitely be purchasing your items with either slogan!!! Enjoy your time!! Love your videos!!!!

[@BritttanyW]

I want to thank you guys for your videos! I am moving to Brighton from Canada next week so I have binge watched almost all of your videos at this point. The ones about the NHS, and grocery stores, and housing have helped me start to feel more comfortable with living in the UK and moving on my own. The two of you are so refreshing to watch, and I cant get enough of your friendship :)

[@barbiebarrios4908]

I Love our first Weekend in New York!!! Thank you, Joel and Lia!!! 🇬🇧🇺🇸😍

[@Deedric_Kee]

Ya'll were lit🎆 Awesome video 👏

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

Loved the vlog footage montage!! Had no idea about the cookie dough shop in NYC. Glad you had a wonderful time here! Still would love to see your opening done with a clinking of glasses of Prosecco 🥂

[@kathyburkett652]

Yall are so adorable! I hope you can see more of America than just NYC..

[@Leon-wz1js]

I was thinking about that. The financial load would be huge (even though America is somewhat cheaper than England), but what if they did a cross country camping tour? This would allow them to see the country more than all the big city stuff (although there's always the possibility of visiting cities along the way). Hmm need to think about this some more. Maybe some fans could offer transport from one end of their state to the next, and give an insider's point of view on where to go, what to do? or, maybe camping isn't their vibe! heh heh

[@eathealthykalefood2388]

Leon I don’t think fans will be that kind. They have lives and gas is expensive as fuck

[@KrystyneY]

The Penn Station/ Bryant Park/Rockafeller Center trip is a crazy amount of walking! Great vlog! I love watching you explore places I have been to many times. Times square used to be really shady and creepy in the 80's, but they cleaned it up and made it all family friendly. Which I love, because it's no longer scary. It's all tourists. The only time you see a real New Yorker there is when they are speeding through trying to get to work. Looks like you had so much fun!

[@mellowfern]

Love the vlogs!! Feels like we're there with you! ❤

[@GinaLaughed]

I'm going to NYC in May and these videos are not helping my patience level! I can't wait to go! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@facepunch5104]

Just remember next time you go, if a bunch of people run the opposite way you're going, run with them, it's not safe

[@Sssssssslf]

.....and if you here a loud POP it's not fireworks or a car exhaust!! 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️

[@GinaLaughed]

We never got to go. 🙁 Our trip was cancelled because people kept dropping out of the trip. One day I'll get to visit and I'll remember your tips! Thanks!

[@tammyshaw3373]

Didnt get to watch til today bc KZbin wasnt working but worth the wait!! Wish there was more!! You guys are always wonderful to see!! Still brighten my day every time I get to watch you!! Much love!!

[@paulbailey309]

So much fun to watch y'all exploring

[@ThoseTwoBrits1]

Thanks Paul!

[@yallsy]

The editing on this video is superb!!! Very professional! Love you skinny legends!

[@laurencamacho9684]

Loved the video! I’m flying out to NYC tomorrow (used to live there) and this video got me even more excited. I can’t wait for more merch...hoping for some “can’t relate” merch lol

[@Leon-wz1js]

Am I the only one who, at 00:13:23 thought "Noooo! You can't end it there! What happened next?!?"

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

me too :(

[@laradilley5572]

Great to see you guys having so much fun!

[@ashlynfarwell5220]

Love you guys and glad you had such a great time in the US! Great things are in store for you two!

[@JessieMouse8]

Hello Joel & Lia I'm a new subscriber! I have been binging on your videos this afternoon. I absolutely love them and have been loving you both. I enjoyed watching your NYC adventure. I've been to NYC so many times I kind of take for granted all the cool things to do there. It was awesome to see it through your eyes. Huge hugs and love to you both. Xoxo

[@extofer]

One of my favorite memories of NYC was going to Christopher street and taking a selfie with the street sign. Because it was so meta for me. Also going to the Nintendo World Store. That city is so overwhelming with so much to do. I’m glad you both had a wonderful time!

[@mrsbatastini]

Love you guys and super excited to see all the fun you had in NJ & NY 💙

[@mrsbatastini]

Side note.....I would love to hear you guys say Secaucus in a NJ American accent just once hahaha se-caw-cus 🤣

[@ohsweetmercy5369]

So glad you had a great time in America! Enjoying the videos, I've never been to NYC and was in NJ only once as a kid. I need to travel more lol.

[@Unknownuser_791]

Oh Sweet Mercy it’s a nightmare

[@girlbossbooks4957]

So cool to see you guys in the US! Love the vlogs, keep them coming! ❤️

[@EddieRios203]

This video made my day, I am so glad you enjoyed yourselves in the US.

[@cstaszko9927]

My husband and I went on our first trip to NYC literally a week before your trip and right before I started watching this channel! I love remembering our trip through your vlogs!

[@sirsmartypants7086]

New York looks so overwhelming. Especially times square! Wholly cow thanks for sharing. So Brit would be great on a t-shirt

[@steventagawa6959]

The vlogs are great! So glad that your NYC experience was better than the French city which shall not be named... It really felt like we were on vacation with you. Keep it up!

[@bearnicholas3830]

Its nice to see someone not tearing down America...Thank you!!!!

[@TinaLaGreca]

I grew up in NJ and am just a bus ride away from Manhattan! Always a fun day walking around midtown. Loved your first NYC day!

[@stevemartin2767]

I'm Canadian. I was surprised at how familiar NYC was. The only thing that really shocked me was a national flag on a large Gothic church: don't Americans have separation of church and state?

[@raisae.268]

Can never get tired of the Joel and Lia 💕 I look forward to their videos... #triggered #skinnylegends

[@shawnmarie459]

This is my favorite NYC one so far. You guys look so joyous :) I love "Too Brit..." Tee shirt idea. Have you thought of doing PJ merch?

[@seanhouston4757]

That loft was so cool 😊 glad you had a blast

[@mariak4247]

I live close to a SEPTA regional rail train station in Philly and when I go to Manhattan, I transfer to Trenton and take the NJ Transit rail line right into Penn Station. It's so easy to get to Philly from Penn Station, it's about a 2 hour trip. Great video guys! Last time I was in New York, it was a work trip. My Manager and I stayed by Bryant Park right by Time Square. Next time, I really want to visit that Line Store you went into because I recently discovered the Cony and Brown characters. Although, I'm not into Korean Pop per se, I just use their .gifs a lot while messaging friends. haha. So good to see Mina again and so happy you had such a great time in the States. I'm so glad to see the footage you recorded while here. These thrice weekly vlogs have been so much fun.

[@Ivielynn123]

Glad you guys are having fun!

[@JamConcerned]

You guys had me smiling and laughing through out the vlog. Love your infectious spirit.

[@mrbear1302]

I have noticed that Brits use the words literally and obviously a lot......just like we Americans say the words like and you know..... It has been really fun watching you guys! I want to make it back to London and England....it has been some time since I was there!

[@alolmedo389]

Joel how lucky can you be? accompanied by two of the most beautiful damsels I ever seen and with that beautiful accent!!! totally priceless!!!

[@Iden_Elihio_1999]

It is always interesting to hear what new comers think of my city, especially British people .........

[@kathrynwykoff4713]

You guys are getting so good at editing. This was very well done and I really like the background music. The only downside was that it didn’t last long enough. 😉

[@elainefigueiredo4234]

Hi Joel and Leah! Just catching up with your older videos. Can’t believe you took NJ Transit into NYC. Welcome to my world. De Elaine la Profe de NJ

[@rachelleh5237]

I have never been to New York even when my husband was stationed in Pennsylvania. So I get to explore it through yalls eyes, so thank you.

[@billettescrafts]

I know that editing takes up a great amount of your time but I REALLY like that you one of you edits your own videos and it really adds a personal touch. I hope that you continue to have a hand in editing even when you guys go global and are famous. (smooch) D

[@katiepitkin7071]

So I take it dog parks aren't a thing in the UK? They are all over in Austin, but we are known for being dog friendly.

[@KrystyneY]

When I was in the Village last summer, I noticed so many dogs! The west village seems very dog friendly. But looks like Joel and Lia were in the East Village and they like dogs too!

[@danielpinkus4597]

We do have some dog parks not in London tho

[@jdparamount92]

Another great video! Love you guys!

[@CathyMiller0711]

This was a lot of fun. Great vlog, legends!

Cool apartment! Watching this video makes me want to visit New York. Mina seems really sweet, how nice that you had a friend for a guide. Thanks for sharing your time there ❣💚💛💙

[@JerseyGirl0081]

🎶 Start spreading the news! I'm leaving today! I want to be a part of it! NEW YORK, NEW YORK!🎶 So happy to see you two enjoying the city. 😄

[@OkayIn2024]

Such a fun vlog! Loved watching you in Grand Central. Did you try Juniors when you were downstairs? Great to see Mina (sp?) too!

[@leeann4900]

Phew! No wonder y'all looked absolutely bushed (knackered), on your late night live streams. In one day, y'all walked enough for two full days of sightseeing. Wearing my Pink Skinny Legend hat ~ while watching y'all chat branding ... I'm time bouncing, again! Love, love🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

[@lisabarbosa4541]

Love this one!!! The music is totally my vibe!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

WHAT A 🔥🔥🔥🔥 TWIST TO YOUR J&L INTRO 😍 whoever helped you with that deserves a medal

[@nyrockchicxx]

At 11:16 Lia's face when she spots something else is just so NY! Distraction! Everywhere!

[@patriciamilczewski8009]

Really enjoyed this video There's a certain energy in the city that's like no other I was under the impression that neither one of you have been to NY I thought that was what you said You guys are so funny together I love your faces when you are different places This was my favorite video so far Love you guys Keep thinking about a book

[@corn_pop6082]

Another fantastic video. Your joy is so obvious in your eyes and movements. Looking forward to all the rest of your NYC videos. You're going to have to go on many other trips, you bring such a great perspective. You need tourism sponsors to take you to other U.S. and first world places such as Japan. Third World tourist boards would probably be more willing to sponsor but you two seem more like First World kinda folks (not a criticism).

[@toshomni9478]

Did you guys get to see any Broadway shows in NYC? You should try that sometime if possible. There are ways to get more affordable seats if you are on a budget.

[@Leon-wz1js]

+Tosh Omni Lia purchased tickets to a Broadway show for Joel for his Birthday. The Play that goes Wrong? How more affordable, off-Broadway? I'm just curious...

[@harlanogden5242]

New York. Fun town. Was born there in '58, lived there till '64. Went to kindergarten there, then moved to Short Hills. The Village. Nice. St. Mark's Pl. Is where it's at. Then 8th St. Then Little Italy. Jones St, Watts St., ect. Gramercy Park. Don't miss it. Probably the nicest part of the city at the end of Lexington. Central Park: Tavern on the Green The Plaza: Palm Court & the bar. Don't forget the Dakota where John & Yolo resided. Big time vibey energy. Attended his vigil. 150,000 people/all silent. Truly something.

[@MonicaTRodriguez]

I have to tell you, I love seeing you two discover sights and places so familiar to me. Makes me appreciate them much more. Grand Central is one of my favorite places in the city. That shop is so much fun! I live 45 min north and NYC has always been my backyard. You guys were so charming! And I love "too Brit to handle"!

[@lindacollins4336]

Please remember that some of the biggest fails can end up giving you some of the best and funniest stories. Don't think of this as a fail but as an unique experience. Good job rolling with the punches! So glad you took the Uber!

[@MKelly-pm1np]

You guys a actually made me a lil homesick for my city 😩😭. Miss my hometown sometimes living down here in Florida. Glad you enjoyed the town 🗽🗽

[@Leon-wz1js]

+M. Kelly "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

[@chanelmone4721]

I used to work in Grand Central. I worked in the Belgian chocolate shop right up the ramp from piq store you were at last summer/spring ( would still be there if the district manager would give me a transfer ) and about 17 or so years ago I worked in a Godiva in Grand Central station it’s a jack Torres now.

[@annalisachang]

love this vlog! Line is a Korean brand btw, quite big in Asia.

[@maryrhoten7206]

I love the vibe of Times Square at night. I always stay at the Renaissance right there by the Olive Garden restaurant. It's so central to everywhere.

[@helenewein1621]

Oh 'ello! (T-shirt please!!!)

[@Tsb702]

7:14 You’re in the USA Joel, it’s cookies darling. 😉

[@xnonsuchx]

Yeah, "biscuits" need butter, sausage and/or gravy on them ;-)

[@graefe827]

If cookies are biscuits in the UK, what do they call dog biscuits there?

[@susanmason996]

graefe827 we just call them dog biscuits 😂

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

I loved everything! Excellent Vlog! Thanks so much for sharing. xo

[@lewisshani]

lol. Secaucus is pronounced "SEA-caw-cus" or "sea-CAW-cus" with a heavy NJ accent :)

[@Leon-wz1js]

+Shani Lewis They know, they just like mispronouncing it... Maybe to see how many people get triggered??? heh heh

[@lewisshani]

@@Leon-wz1js Nope, I got it. Just love making fun of how we pronounce towns in NJ. #nottriggered.

[@warrior4him2.07]

Lol LOVE it! I used to work there! Secaucus

[@3DJapan]

Last time I was in Times Square was for 1999/2000 New Years Eve. I went with a bunch of foreigners from all over Europe. Brittany Spears performed but the closest we could get was 8 blocks away so she was to tiny to see.

[@Rob901]

Hope you have a great time while you're here. Be sure to have NYC Pizza! Also, push cart hot dogs. I saw Joel had a bagel with smoked salmon. A classic

[@debkelly1095]

I'm a young old fart (65) but I enjoy your videos, you're so full of life & joy! It's like having a visit with a very nice couble of Brits! (I worded that carefully because I know you're not a "couple.") And yes, I realize that some of your videos are over a year old, but entertaining none the less. (BTW, Orlando, FL is AMAZING!!!! So much there to experience and vlog, in case you're looking for more suggestions...)

[@LlyleHunter]

I’m so glad that you actually did get to see some of NYC’s best. I love Grand Central. Isn’t Washington Square beautiful? I hope that when you come back you’ll have a chance to go to the top of the Empire State Building.

[@leslieharris2536]

I have the same reaction, Joel, when I see a dog or a bunch of dogs! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brynmordey2659]

Honestly NYC is my favourite city in the world. Ever since going in a school trip in 6th form 7 years ago I just wanna go back. Did you guys go up to 102nd floor of new world trade centre? It's so amazing at the top!

[@bearnicholas3830]

Grand Central....amazing architecture!!!

[@larrybrown4769]

Great job - Really like the Walking around Vlogs!

[@americanfairy]

Wow! Looks like you had a great time! I've never been to NYC, but it's definitely on my bucket list.

[@LilDivette]

Glad you guys had fun! Did you get to go to the Apple Store in Grand Central Station (at the top of the big split staircase near the ticket booths)? I was there this summer and discovered it by accident--it was so cool and the view from the balcony looking down on GCS was awesome!

[@johnzee4945]

hi Joel and Lia. Glad you enjoyed your stay in NY. Hope you made it unscathed through NJ Transit and all their train troubles. Lol. By the way Lia with what happened in ( Paris) why do you have a shirt with a French expression on it ! ?

[@heatherjones1423]

Can’t help it ....just love u guys As if we’re friends forever 😎

[@LJBSullivan]

I love this vlog one of my favs!

[@Zekendorf]

So frustrated, I got into NYC the day after Lia left for London.... sorry I missed you guys

[@Enigmatized13]

As an Englishman, I can see the appeal of New York over London if you don't like History. Then again, I'd rather live in neither as not a fan of big cities myself. Big Cities give me anxiety lol. Good vlog though. Would like to see you guys do vlogs in big cities in other US states like Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin), Colorado (Denver), California (LA, San Fran, San Diego, San Jose) etc.

[@natskivna]

Interesting cities in the USA would be Boston, New York, Washington DC, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Honolulu, San Fransisco

[@americanfairy]

Las Vegas is definitely one of the strangest cities that I've ever been to. Seattle is beautiful! San Antonio has some beautiful parts to it and is very unique.

[@principalmcvicker6530]

What drugs are you on?? NYC has TONS of history!

[@VernCrisler]

@@principalmcvicker6530 I think he's talking about British history, which goes back to Roman times, maybe earlier.

[@zuzumontague]

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in NY!! Please visit Texas in the future!! I want to see video footage of the two of you riding a mechanical bull!!!

[@bradleyheer]

I love "Right Up my Street"

[@ocularnervosa]

I thought Piccadilly Circus was like Times Square so I was a little disappointed when I got there. It's a nice place and all but smaller. I wish I had seen them in reverse order, London first and then NYC.

[@evancortez2]

Finally, the good stuff! There's just so much of Secuscus I can take - you guys went to Grand Central and didn't check out the whispering arch?
