Tasting day for my NYC Donut Popup, | NYC Vlog | Finally, Thirty

In case you missed it, here's the link to Episode 1: • Cafe Maddy Popup in NY...
Thanks for coming along with my ongoing, unfolding dream in NYC! recently I got a comment from a viewer saying that they watched my last vlog right after watching my "I quit my dentist job" video. And since quitting my full time (I still kept a part time gig), I've only been looking forward and working hard- but that comment made me realize how far I've come, especially in the way I think, make decisions, and live my life.
Here I am, prepping for a tasting for a popup in NYC. It was beyond exciting and nerve wrecking to prepare for hosting in a physical space, selling real donuts, and gathering real people. It's definitely a turning point and an important moment in my content career to experience real, physical connection. I don't know where this will take me, really. but I know it will open a new door moving forward.
Hope you guys enjoyed the video. stay tuned for the final launch weekend vlog!

In my early 20s now! I am normally not an adventurous guy and likes stable, fixed routine but watching your videos everyday made me want to leave my confort zone by exploring and try new things. Althought I am a student-athlete with fixed timetable and practice times, I've devoted some time to doing different things, whether it is big or small, which brings color and flavour in my life. Thank you for being the catalyst to help me venture off new adventures! these days, I've been more happy, and feel as if I'm starting to piece my identity. As a Korean Christian myself struggling day by day, your videos bring a smile to my face despite my injuries, rough wrestling practice, and on top of that school. Doing new things made me realize that I'm not some robot but rather a person perfectly crafter by God. Thank you for helping me bring out new passions, emotions and light to how I view life. Althought I may not have the platform like you, I hope to spread the joy that you do to whomever I come across in life. I never comment on a youtube video, which shows the impact you've made. I think this may be my first time writing with emotion on youtube haha. sorry for rambling but anyways, Congrats on a successful collab:) !!!! always be supporting you!!!!

Hi Jamie, Thank you so much for this comment. This really made my day and I am so glad my videos are nudging you to do new things too. I guess I'm right there with you, and you've started way before I have. I always say life is short but also too long to be stuck in the same routine! stay tuned for the next vlog, I wonder what I'll say "yes" to next!

Those steaks I saw you throw on the stove looked sick with no marbling. Be careful with the type of meat you choose. Good meat can never be taken for granted and is well worth paying more money.

i’m a new viewer (found you through your picnic date short!) and i’m so glad the algorithm brought me to you. i’m in my late 20s and have been feeling really lost after graduating with my bachelors in August. The uncertainty, lack of stability, and lack of confidence in my degree choice has been overwhelming. However, seeing you live life and answer your curiosities with action (having a donut pop-up) is genuinely so inspiring! It’s almost like you’ve reigniting the idea of a joy that is as innocent and as simple as doing something that you like because it makes you happy. Anyway, thank you for sharing your journey, wishing you the best!!

I knew Strawberry and Gochujang would go well together!!! I dipped a strawberry in gochujang once and it tasted funny but I’d like to see it as a more refined flavor.

[@CafeMaddy]

Yess 😍 if you want to try it as a glaze, I stir fried 1 Part of gochujang and then simmered it with 2 parts of strawberry jam and 1 part sugar as needed. Then added a dash of freshly ground black pepper 🥰

I've waited for this update and checked periodically in case I missed it. Your lengthier videos have been so interesting, keep it up!

[@chrissiedcohen]

Maddy's content never fails to make me want to create, eat, and smile. I just want to move to New York and live that life.

[@CoffeeAdventureTraveler]

Maddy love your honesty approach to life!! One of your shorts cancelled date and instead invited a friend to dinner, happens to us guys too, the girls invite themselves over for a first date,, Never, as to get drugged and robbed, always better to meet up at a mall restaurant!! Especially since you are a young girl: Kudos on your KZbin channel.

I can totally see the strawberry gochujang working! It reminds me of Mexican Tamarindo with fruit flavors!

[@donnabu]

I wish my place had more donut places. Best wishes to Maddy ❤

I was so excited to support this. I lived in the city for 15 years and moved to miami after covid. When I saw this, I sent my friend (still in Brooklyn) a text immediately. The first text is mine and the rest are hers. Sadly, I wish I could say I had a better response, and I hope their reputation isn't this way with lots of others: Me: “Please you gotta go, for me. lol I've been watching her shorts for over a year” 12:34 PM Ugh. Ok, so I've been to cloudy donuts before, twice actually and after I went with ***** I decided not to support them anymore because I felt like they tried to exploit him. 12:35 PM Actually, they did 12:35 PM ***** is always walking around with his camera and the owner of the shop sees him and is like "Yo, I would appreciate it if you could take pics..." blah blah blah 12:36 PM So ***** took a few and dude was literally trying to direct him, tell him what to take...like, dude. He's not working for you for free. 12:37 PM Dude was always mad curt and practically ignored me, and I'm the one with ***** and I bought the fkn $50 worth of donuts. Lololol like, wtf 12:38PM I actually had to bring it to ****'s attention because this dude was leeching off him so much that ***** didn't even have time to process what was happening. 12:39 PM After I told ***** to just send them like 2 pics on IG. He did and they didn't ask for anything else. 12:39 PM So yeah, after that I just decided not to go anymore. Kind of a shame but not really, their donuts are mediocre af. 12:41 PM
