TRYING VIRAL FOOD IN NEW YORK CITY | Pop Up Bagels, L’industrie Pizza, Lafayette Bakery & more!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

What restaurants do I have to hit up on my next trip to NYC!?!

[@randy8651]

Katz’s Deli, Shanghai 21 on Mott Street. Mama Jo’s breakfast cart. Try those I don’t think you will be disappointed. There are some other spots in Queens like Colombian restaurants you would enjoy. La Pequeña Colombia on Roosevelt Ave. Forgot Dominican food La Cabaña in Corona Queens.

[@jennifercpow]

If you want the best pizza in NYC then you need to try John’s of Bleecker Street. Katz’s deli will offer up the most insanely large sandwiches you ever seen. The meat sweats for weeks. lol

[@justme6767]

China Town good Chinese. Food.I grew up in NY bagels pizza

[@katd1026]

@@jennifercpow I agree Johns! Also I m not fan but NY halal trucks are supposedly insane. Steakhouses on the list too?

[@FreeBird1707]

Ichiran for Ramen. The original Halal Guys on 6th Avenue & W 53rd St. Levain Bakery for cookies. La Bonne Soupe for the French Onion and quiche. Rib No. 7 is pretty pricey but delicious too. Just to name a few but NYC is a melting pot of amazing food, look for "the diamond in the rough" 😂❤

[@CarmenCruz-qr1nw]

Omg Kristen I’m feeling so home sick right now.There’s nothing better then New York food😋

[@emilywynstra]

Loved seeing you in a new city!! Pop Up Bagels has such a unique style of hands on rip and dip! YUM 🥯😋

[@fartboy69onionring]

You HAVE to take a train to Flushing and do a food crawl around Main Street (no pun intended). The best Chinese food you'll find in the US. I'm Chinese and grew up here and all I can say is that the whole vibe of Main Street at night is like Times Square and Hong Kong mixed together with authentic cuisine everywhere you look. No one really recommends this to people visiting NY, but you seriously gotta experience it! Check Flushing food crawl videos here because they're all good!

[@theboringkaren]

I agree! My roommates and I would take a trip there for bubble tea, too. I miss those days!

[@sjrichards8]

Couldn't agree more. Plus you don't even need to walk around much with all these food halls on every block. New World Mall, Tangram Food Hall, Golden Mall, New York Food Court, Queens Crossing, and so many smaller hole in the wall ones. Flushing is a must 100%

[@brianc1895]

If you visit NY and don't hit up Flushing, you're not only missing out on the wide variety of authentic food and these cool new fusion pop ups, but you're missing out on some real Chinese culture. My friend takes me around to eat there and every time it just makes your mouth drop especially at night. Literally feels like you're in China unlike Manhattan which is more touristy.

[@brent.cole94]

YES!! Finally someone who mentions a place that's not the cliche and overrated. You'll never find this kind of authentic chinese food anywhere else in the world. This is literally your chance. You hit up some amazing favorites of mine in this video, I highly recommend taking a trip to Flushing and doing an asian food crawl. It'll make you seriously question the Chinese food you've been eating in Orlando all this time lol

[@BrendanCorey-uc9hh]

The Flushing scene today is absolutely spectacular. Cheap amazing eats every storefront you walk by and hipster food halls literally on every block. Just a note that almost all of these places are cash only and simply point to the item or picture/number on the menu if you can't speak. Also since we're talking about Flushing, you gotta stop by Citi Field for the Mets vs Yankees Subway Series at night on the 25th or 26th. It's only a 1 mile walk from Main Street, Flushing. This stadium is rated the best food in all of sports + it's also one of the biggest games of the year for both teams. Hope you have an amazing time here in NY!

[@alej8902]

Hi Kristen and Ryan! Everything looks absolutely delicious! 😋 Thank you for taking us along!

[@xenawarriorprincess4411]

This was a great video! Love seeing food from a different city. You did a great job reviewing a variety! Found you from Paging Mr. Morrow

[@mollywolly4201]

I lived in NYC for 15 years but left in the late 90s. Wow, you have really friend me on to some fabulous places! That Lafayette Bakery will be the first place I hit. Great job!

[@hotcrazycatladyme168]

That guy is wearing the coolest shirt I have ever seen in my entire life. I could never pull it off, but it's AWESOME. I love the Ninja Turtles. Plus, it's cool that it has the other pictures on it like the New York sky line, or the pizza. Love it.

[@thezachman]

That pizza looked fire 🔥!!! Thanks for the cool NYC food tour- hope to to see more city tours like this again.

[@anddc410]

This was such a great video, in more ways than one. I loved the reviews, the way the video was shot to the fun music in the taco place. Great job, Kristen and Ryan. I am so happy for you!

[@jenmitchell9119]

There is no better reason for us to be friends than our shared love of an awesome everything bagel!

[@jrtrep]

I highly, HIGHLY recommend Manhatta in the financial district. It’s really expensive, but one of the best places I’ve ever eaten! They do accept walk ups for the bar and their beverah-ges are incredible, especially Look to the Cookie! Thanks for the great video! I’ll definitely check out those places next time I’m in NYC. I love a good New York pizza and that croissant you shared looks glorious!

[@mamajustify73]

Im so homesick! This is making me feel so much better!!

[@cindymitcheltree7961]

Looks like you and Ryan had a great time! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@diamondpaintingwithsweett]

Thank you for taking us along! Safe travels!❤❤❤

[@randy8651]

Welcome to NYC, the best food ever and 24/7. You hit all the GREAT spots. You didn’t have any Chinese food. You forgot to go to Papaya King for a hot dog. Katz Deli for a a sandwich. Try Shanghai 22 for Chinese food - Randy 😊

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I had a few spots in Chinatown planned out to get dumplings, but we ran out of time & that was the farthest away from the hotel so we unfortunately had to skip. Next time I'm getting my dumplings!

[@randy8651]

@@wrightdownmainstreet that’s awesome glad you didn’t have long waits or bad food. It’s hard to find a bad spot in NYC. The bodegas are really worth the hype. Have a bacon egg and cheese on a roll also.

[@jen_dinsmo]

Looks like it was a fun trip with lots of great food! The bagels and dips looked soo good, yum!

[@sarahcrowe8283]

Loving the Kristen/Ryan New York content! I'm from the UK and its really interesting seeing some other places in the States through your videos 😊

[@onkyomitsu4765]

thanks for the foodie vid!! I love that there were so many seeds on that Everything bagel!!!!

[@leahpalmateer7941]

All that food looked amazing! I haven't been to NYC for a long time but one of my favorites is Alice's Tea Cup which is a tea room with several locations, and the most amazing scones! Also, Rice to Riches if you like rice pudding. Sounds weird but they have tons of flavors and topping options and it's SO good!

[@margaretdow8723]

I love that you will eat a bagel on a random street in front of trash bags. Omg I was thinking I would do that

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

The Epcot way!

[@patriciagreene5842]

How funny you go to NYC to cool off😂 The bagels , oh how Ive missed you! Great job

[@theportlishlife]

Thanks for the video, *adds all recommendations to my ever-growing list* 😍😍

[@jdrew5367]

This was great. I can add a few more places to try on my list. Thank you

[@UpAndAtEmAddie]

Going to each borough for viral food favorites would be great.

[@emceenyc1120]

WAIT WHAT??!!! You guys are in NYC, greetings. Good choice on the bagels. Another good one is Murray’s Bagels and Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company. Spot on with Los Tacos #1. When it come to cookies, try Insomnia Cookies and John’s of Bleeker St. for pizza. Enjoy your stay!

[@beckywarner969]

We just got back from NYC and loved Joe’s Pizza and Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream.

[@lilypad342]

GIRRRRLLLLL!!! YESSSSS!!! I knew there was a reason I loved you and your brother (besides Disney) NYC BABY!!! Ugh the food!!! I had everything booked for my May 2020 trip and then COVID ao did not happen! But I have a food itinerary on my phone and mile long from Flushing to Jackson Heights and Long Island City to Harlem to the Bronx and Midtown !!! Ahh I love this place and the pop up bagels??? OHHHH MYYYY!!!

[@AngieMagz]

We always have dim sum at Golden Unicorn every time we go to NYC! So good, do recommend... Pop up bagels looks amazing but that croissant looked to die for!!! 🤤🤤🤤

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I had 2 stops at China town on my list for dumplings but we ended up having to bail on them as it was a little too far & we ran out of time. Next time I am for sure not missing some bomb dumplings!

[@yanireelopez9848]

Oh wow Kristen I would have loved to seen you and your brother welcome to NYC! Enjoy Xavier is so excited you are here 😂 he believes you have super powers ❤

[@giabarletta5929]

Arthur Ave in the Bronx and Eataly in Union Square

[@susan_elizabeth]

OHMYGOSH! The bakery items alone look worth the trip! Then, there's those tacos. Wow! I'm so glad you and your twin brother got to make the trip together! Excellent video, Kristen! Thank you for bringing us along! 💜

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Thanks, Susan! It was a delicious trip for sure.

[@Debber0401]

What, no lightning lane at L’industrie Pizza!?!😂😂

[@MJD123]

oh man!! I'm about to hop on NJ Transit and head in for one of those bagels!!! 😅 Next time you should check out Chelsea Market- really cool spot with lots of little food places in there! Or for fish and chips, my British-born brother in law sent us to A Salt and Battery for the closest to the real thing LOL

[@hellojojo9065]

Great video Kristen! You made me so hungry tho and I miss NYC UH!!! 😊

[@richardscott5155]

This is a yummy & delicious vlog 👍🍀enjoy NYC ; P.S. Katz’s Deli

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

We had some incredible food! Thanks for watching Richard 👏🏼

[@Miche353]

I need the pop up bagels!!! Dipping a bagel is genius! The cinnamon sugar shmear is a dream! Margaritaville really? No Dallas barbecue? lol

[@Miche353]

Oh and so mad you skipped Levain. Wanted to know if Gideons better or worse. My fave NY pizza was Ray’s

[@Tatsandteee]

Bulldogs at bbq after work were my jam. Miss living there sometimes

[@queenmoonpie22]

I love this video, but now I'm homesick in a good way lol

[@anildadlani9746]

Thank you that was an amazing video

[@54Djleod]

The food trucks/Street Food is a video of it's own. Best Pizza that I grew up on was Rays Pizza in NY. Also Asian Cuisine is huge in NY and cheap eats.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

There were so many places I wanted to go but didn’t have time for it all this trip!

[@dominiquebrown8790]

Rays....has to be the REAL OG Ray's! Regardless though....any NY pizza hits differently....but AMAZING! I truely believe it's the water up there (yes I'm a Yankee myself) lol

[@greatbigbeautifultomorrow113]

I love your food reviews. Also, remember the snapple lady? When I was little I used to collect the snapple fact bottle caps whenever we came back up to NY to visit. Now I live on long island again and this video makes me want to go to the city and try some of these items. Great review as always.

[@Miche353]

Wendy the Snapple lady yes!!!! Everyone read those caps. I still flip them to read and I am like duh they don’t do that anymore lol

[@jenniferkavu87]

I was in NYC two weeks ago and I wish I had gone after seeing your video. I definitely want to visit Pop-Up Bagels the next time I'm there and also try a Chopped Cheese. Loved this video!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yes, def try it out!

OMG!! My city!!

I live in nyc. So much fun to watch you two in my city enjoying yourselves! Did you do anything else? Museum? Play?

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

We were there for an event. We went to Coney Island, didn’t have time to see a show but we did get to go on a stage tour of the Aladdin stage which was awesome!

[@Nitaseyboldsault161]

Omg the good stuff yum You always find the good stuff !!! Love this love the food all over the city yum And the Mexican food looked so good my mouth is watering Thanks for this Gotta make a trip back to the city soon

[@janislyn58]

What great timing I’m heading to NY tomorrow.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Awesome!! If I had to recommend one place- Pop Up Bagels 🤤🤤

[@pumpkinpastie]

LOVED this vid! Great review :)

[@ItsmeJulianna]

Excellent video! I have a few new additions for my next trip to NY!

[@A94-c5z]

Try levain next time. If you like a thick doughy cookie then you will love levain. Also try a hot dog and papaya drink from gray's papaya. For pizza, I recommend bleecker street pizza, scarrs, and emmy squared. And for your own good, please don't stay in times square next time 😅

[@dis-2536]

Best NYC bagels are Liberty Bagels! Several locations, lines out the door, awesome cream cheese varieties, hilarious guy in charge at the shop near MSG!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yum!

[@TheBeefTrain]

Those burger patties just chillin on the counter got me shook

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

😂😂

[@Kizzy__]

That vanilla butter looked like it hit different

[@allme16280]

Great vid! Since you referenced Ocky, you both need to stop by his bodega for one of his sandwiches the next time you're in town 😁

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I honestly thought about it but I figured it was going to be too far away

[@biancapassaro]

I work in the West Village and didn’t know about Popup and L’Industrie. 😂Guess I know where I’m going for lunch. For pizza, Mamas Too and Emmy Squared. Sadelles for brunch. Venchi for gelato. Sanpanino for sandwiches. 👍🏼

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Kicking myself for not stopping at Mamas Too for a sandwich

[@biancapassaro]

@@wrightdownmainstreet the chicken parm at Mamas Too is actually unreal. Try the gelato too

[@Thebestmom04]

Same about the bagels. I’ll head there Monday for breakfast 😂😂

[@biancapassaro]

@@wrightdownmainstreet ok confirmed Popup was great BUT next time try Leon’s Bagels 30 ft away for their egg sandwiches. There was a longer line for Leon’s. Best egg sandwich ever

[@vikkirusso]

If you love Italian food then you have to try the restaurant Carmines . The food is amazing and so good . The portion are huge !!

[@rhondalockrey9592]

I do think New York pizza is the best all the places say they have the number one best pizza. We tried 3 different places in 4 days they were all amazing pizza's can't go wrong with any place to eat pizza . So much good food to eat so little time lol I loved they had these little delis or Italian sandwich & grocer places some had full on little buffets or salad bars for take out its amazing how many food types you can find in 1 block. Need to make another trip back there ASAP!

[@mariosonisiforou]

Thank you for sharing Kristen is a shame we don't have bagels in Cyprus and Greece 😂

[@allaboardblakestrainsandmore]

I love bagels, but it's hard to find decent ones where I live. Those looked delicious! Everything did!

[@angelarita3445]

Omg I miss NYC food from a native New Yorker living in Florida

[@alisachamoy225]

I actually prefer Ess a Bagel for bagels but I know Pop up Bagels is super popular right now - one just opened up in the UES too. If you are a big fan of croissants, Radio bakery in Clinton Hill has a triple chocolate croissants made with cocoa powder and Valrhona chocolate. I know pizza can be a contentious topic but you might also want to try John's of Bleeker Street or Di Fara or Scarr's. Glad you enjoyed your trip/food!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Actually had John's the next evening (we didn't film it) and I think I liked it more than L'industrie!

[@alisachamoy225]

Daniel’s Cheesesteak, in Winter Garden, has a pretty good chopped cheese.

Thank you so much!! The TMNT shirt is from RSVLTS. They have a bunch of great designs & they sell out very quickly so not sure if it’s in stock. I’m sorry about the mayo 😅😅

Okay I've never heard of Pop Up Bagels and I work in NYC, also lived there for over 9 years. 🤣 But I have been to Lafayette for lunch and it was so good! I didn't try any pastries, though, since I was so full but need to go back for a stuffed croissant. Whenever you come back, I highly recommend the restaurant Sesamo in Hell's Kitchen. It's Asian/Italian fusion and my dinner was so. good. Also, the chocolate katsu bread for dessert? Divine!

[@daily_dares]

NGL but Los Tacos No 1 set up looks super similar to Tacos El Gordo. It looks good. Checking out their website sounds like they were most likely influenced by TEG. If you ever make your way to Vegas or to the OG locations in San Diego, I think you'll see what I mean. Even the color scheme is the same.

U should 100% go to All'Antico Vinaio. It’s Italian sandwiches from Florence. Best sandwich I’ve ever had (u were literally on the same block as them in Hell’s Kitchen). I live in Orlando too, and it’s a must stop location whenever I go to nyc.
