It made me really happy to see you come around my city. You picked some really great well-known places to start, but the more you come back, you start to find other out-of-the-way great places and some hidden gems. For next time: pizza at Spumoni Gardens, Greek food in Astoria, Wo Hop and soup dumplings in Chinatown, chocolate babka at Breads or Andre’s, Bier and Cheese (for beer and cheese), Sicilian food at Joe’s of Avenue U, weird ice cream flavors at Oddfellows, fried chicken and pancakes at Bubby’s… I could go on. But two days of food in NYC just isn’t enough. See you when you get back, dude.
@@jimmykhoury167 emily is great, my personal favorite is a small spot called Nobody Told Me on the upper west side. My fav burger of all time. 7th street burger is also incredible
Can you cook a dish from Bangladesh called Fuchka it is basically a food with a circular hard biscuit shell with fried onions hot sauce parsley and salt with coriander and garlic
I went to New York once when I was 16 or so, as a European it was very overwhelming. Massive buildings, massive food portions but the food is overall delicious and the service is great (even though we aren't used to people constantly refilling our drinks, I zoned out once and didn't realize i drank like 4 cups of coffee). My mum wanted us to walk as much as possible, so one day we walked like 20-30 blocks because my mum thought it would only take 30 mins....we were walking for 2 hours. Great experience 10/10 and I am also a Knicks fan as a result (also katz diner is fire).
Wow Kevin, this was a great video and it was especially cool to see you trying street food in a big city. I’ve desired to go to NYC for a while and am gonna get to in a couple months so I’ll definitely take a look at the places you went
One thing I'm really glad you showcased is how friendly and outgoing new yorkers tend to be! I feel like people in new york being cold and rude is a common stereotype and I've just never found it to be true.
@@birdworldist rich ones get move to gated communities. If Mexico was so safe everyone would stay right? Totally not leaving because they totally don’t feel safe at their own homes because of gangs no? Why have millions crossed the border into the USA? Because Mexico is a unsafe 3rd world country. Good culture though.
@@pslacum tf u talking about? mexico city is pretty safe and most of touristic areas are as well. dangerous cities are borther ones like Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo, Culiacan. How com mexico be that dangerous and still be the 6th largest tourism country
Ha! Me and my brother got into an argument because I was certain we saw you at the MOMA turns out you were in nyc! Glad you had a good time in my city despite the weather- Joe's pizza is totally overrated Percy's pizza which is 5 mins away is way better and a quarter of the price
You're probably back in Romania at this point but if you ever find your way back to NYC you should head on over to Xi'an Famous Foods! It's a local chain that makes some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Also if you want to try a lot of diverse cuisines head out to Queens, in particular the Jackson Heights area. There's a lot of different immigrant cultures there (primarily Ecuadorian, Thai, Indian, Nepalese, and Filipino) and all that food is fantastic.
I'm a devout foodie, & I love the fact you can get foods of all different ethnicities at any hour of the day in NYC. I'm living in the Pacific Northwest now & I would kill for NYC Chinese food. I started making Chinese food at home because they don't make the same dishes I'm used to eating. Also, I miss French food. Whenever I go to NYC, those two ethnicities are top of my list.
As someone who lives in Seattle, it's nice to see someone not used to rain experience a constant downpour 😂although here, I find it quite relaxing. Also that pizza looks costco sized!!
I visited a friend in Seattle & he complained about the constant rain. To me, coming from South Florida where we get torrential rains, Seattle just had a mist. I actually loved it.
Hey Kwook, i am Shourya Roy ,12 years old male and live in Maharashtra, India, i am in 7'th grade but have a fascination for ethnic food and i am in love with your videos(i wish my mother-Sanjana, could make some different ethnic food but she apparently can't).Can you please please please make Aalo luchi dum(आलु लूची दम) or rice with a spicy gravy of potato and cauliflower (आलू गोबी की सब्जी). Both of them are easily 11/10, you lil fan's request. I wish i could mee you some day, i want to be a chef and you are my role model cuz you cook delicious food with ease in a simple way that i am able to understand and narrate it to my Mom.
Very nice of you to give us content, even while you're on vacation. Made my day to see you with what makes you happy about food. PS: Gonna go make a roast beef sandwich now. Thx
“New York City: a place of infinite possibilities- if you’re rich”; “bright lights, a kind of functional subway system”😂Still, this made me nostalgic for that food
I'm a Bkyln Gal & these would be my recommendations: Bagel with white fish, Black & White cookies, Hot Chestnuts. Potato Knish, Kishka, Corn Beef Sandwich, Poppa's Pizza, Cherrystone Clams on the half shell &/or Little Neck clams in garlic & oil. Chinese food- bbq ribs, egg rolls, egg drop soup with wontons, fried rice, & of course- pistachio ice cream
At 2:45. You LOVE proper Mexican food (all the dishes you've eaten that were done the proper Mexican way end up 10/10 with you) and properly-cooked beans. So I figured your preferences lean more toward the acid/savory side of things. American donuts tend to go to the really sweet/fatty side of things, which is the opposite of what you love in the foods you most enjoy.
Hey kevin! I just got your cookbook after having it on pre order since december! Its really good, definitely recommend it. So far ive made the chicken fajita pasta and the bean burgers! ❤
@@shinypineconeyes, all of the country isn't one of the biggest, richest most dense cities on earth lol. Even Europe and other countries have rural areas and sprawl. Of course it is true alot of the US is more spread out and car centric.
yo first! love your videos man. how about bringing back more broke students' recipes. gonna move out soon for my college and I'd love to have healthy options!! keep the good work up man! ❤️
The second item you tried - steamed rolls - are none other than Vietnamese "banh cuon". Ok, there are various versions in Asia, but banh cuon is my fave. Brilliant! Slippery and slimy big yummy
You should try 'ethnic' food spots like the countless places in China Town/Flushing, Hallal Food carts etc. A really unique place is the Turkish Bath House and the attached cafe.
Where I live we have something called the Crab festival and thats pretty much the only time you can buy that vendor style food. Some of it is alright, it doesn't beat eating fresh dungeoness crab or red salmon though.
I was waiting for you to come to my city & try it! I'm glad you finally made it! Next bagel you get, i'd recommend either just cream cheese, a bacon egg and cheese (you gotta say it all as one word "baconeggncheese"), or Lox & cream cheese. All 3 of these bagel combos are amazing and I'd recommend trying La Bagel Delight, they have 4 locations in Brooklyn and they roll their own fresh bagels every day. Juliana's is one of the best pizza spots in the city, definitely recommend.
Have you ever tried a bagel with whitefish? Yummy. I like it better than Lox. My Paternal Grandfather used to make bagels & really big soft pretzels. He would bring us 2 grocery bags with fresh, hot bagels & pretzels every Sunday morning. There's nothing like a bagel straight out of the oven!
@@dee_dee_place I do truly love a bagel with whitefish, but everytime I go to a bagel place, cream cheese always wins. I can't resist it. Especially if they whip their own cream cheese in house
New York does not have many good taco places but I spent 10 days there and you went to best taco place!! It’s one of the best tacos I’ve had and great choice with al pastor. Given you have rated tamales, chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and other Mexican foods 9-10 in some of your cooking videos, not surprised you loved al pastor tacos!
Places that you should try for your next NYC food visit: this proper Hong Kong dim sum place on Canal Street and Mott Street called "Royal Seafood." The only people who go there are old Chinese people, especially women. So you know it's authentic and not a tourist trap. Delicious, fresh dim sum. Another place is a taco truck in Williamsburg called "Birria-Landia Tacos." Muah! The most delicious tacos I've ever had. Up there with Los Tacos No. 1 in terms of taste. But their birria broth--damn. Finger-licking good!
Would love for you to do a México City en Oaxaca trip, o think your mind will be blown by everything Mexico has to offer next to tacos (although al pastor will always be my fav)
Bro a Levain bakery opened up in my town and those cookies are definitely a transcendent experience! My favorite is the chocolate with peanut butter chips.
Hi there! New Yorker here. I would just like to recommend a place for Cuban food in NYC called Sophie’s. Awesome place for street food although idk what would qualify as street food I live off of pizza and bagels 😂

@@michaellopez1314 i wanna go to ny just to try those burgers:p
Personally i dont care for spumoni... My old job used to order it for pizza parties (woo....) and it was a little too doughy for me
Can you cook a dish from Bangladesh called Fuchka it is basically a food with a circular hard biscuit shell with fried onions hot sauce parsley and salt with coriander and garlic
Dude when you had that cookie your face looked like you had an out of body experience and transcended into heaven.
Loved this video from start to end!
Your channel gives me very good vibes, it's basically the good old youtube style from 2015 with a few modern elements and I'm all for that!
Love you gave the pastrami a 10! It comes from Romanian Jewish immigrants -- no wonder you felt it in your soul
W Romanian food 💪🏻🇷🇴
No wonder he called it jew-cy haha...

You are Mexican at heart amigo. You love our food! Go to Mexico some time!
yes he definitely needs to go to mexico
I would love to get mexico but its just way to dangerous. Why go to mexico when you can pay a tiny bit more and go to Costa Rica or somewhere safe.
@@pslacum there are plenty of safe areas, don’t fall for the media hype. Many Americans are moving to Mexico

The cookie made him feel things man😭😂 it looked rlly gooowd💗
street food in new york city is a culinary delight that has taken the world by storm
What would be cool is if he did a series on going to different states and having people suggest what restaurants to go to and rate.
I think Josh Weissman did that on his channel
I think one of the best things about NYC is that you can eat at a new Restaurant everyday. Diversity is insane..💯🥂
Great Work Bro ❤

Taste the delicious food and feel the beauty of life.
and yet, mexican food keep getting perfect score! it's always a 10/10! Hope you can come to mexico one day and try authentic mexican food my dude!
Yeah New York likes to pretend they invested all the beat food. Mexican food in new york is absolute dog shit.
He better! It's cheap to fly from NYC to Mexico City if he was inclined to go there. :D
It's not like pretty damn authentic Mexican food isn't available in the US. Especially out West.
Have you ever heard of a rain jacket ? 😅
Love these style of videos from you buddy
Hey kevin! I just got your cookbook after having it on pre order since december! Its really good, definitely recommend it. So far ive made the chicken fajita pasta and the bean burgers! ❤

Thanks for a very nice video of New York City 24 Hour Street Food 👍
i love these types of videos.please do more street food vlog.
❤
You can see how emotional it was to have the first bite of that taco!! 🤩💯
Love watching your channel grow! Great video. 😊

This was a really fun video. I enjoyed watching you eat different types of street food. That bagel looked delicious.
"objectively its not great. but in the context..." is how to describe America! im glad you had an authentic experience here!
Omg the second item is my FAVOURITE! It's called 肠粉 (I think it's called rice roll in English). I'm happy that he gave it a high rating!
Glad you liked the rice rolls so much, staple Chinese food especially here in Hong Kong!
Los tacos no 1 could be the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life honestly that pork one is insane
Pastrami looks amazing and that cookie at the end wow great video
the new york city experience
Thank You for sharing New York City dishes.
I love the calming music playing while he's eating the cookie lmao
Absolutely amazing! I just wish you had the chance to try a chopped cheese!

I can sense that that cookie hit BEYOND the spot

using this as a guide for when I go to NYC
Watching these kind of videos makes me feel like my only reason to live is to eat
seriously though who goes to NYC without a rain coat?
As a New Yorker I I truly believe that Murray’s bagels has the best bagels in the world

That cinematic shot 🔥
Something underrated when it comes to street food in New York are the chicken over rice w/ white sauce platters that cost $7-9 from halal carts
New York is absolutely spoiled with the amazing that city produces
That part with the pastrami was so wholesome
3:00 This is what we call drizzle in India
My man was getting emotional when he tasted that cookie, it was that good 😂
Looks like all the things I'd recommend trying apart from a halal cart! Maybe chinatown in some of the underground spots.
Chicken and rice in white sauce mmmmmmmm
Bro a Levain bakery opened up in my town and those cookies are definitely a transcendent experience! My favorite is the chocolate with peanut butter chips.
Glad you had a good time in NY dude!
Can someone pay for me to go to New York so I can eat all this delicious food please?
Great camera work!! Shout out fr
Hi there! New Yorker here. I would just like to recommend a place for Cuban food in NYC called Sophie’s. Awesome place for street food although idk what would qualify as street food I live off of pizza and bagels 😂
That pastrami sandwich could feed a family. No 1 needs that amount of food.
0:07 “except have good weather” water just naturally floods towards lowlanders
My sister goes to school in nyc and my family loves going to Katz’s for the pastrami sandwich. Best ever
Of course tacos are the besssst and in México with a Michelada simply deliciousss!
Bagel is too firm to be eaten as a sandwich with various fillings. Just a dab of cream cheese is fine.
Unless it’s a bacon egg and cheese
