Alessio is so expressive! When he loves something it's a religious experience.
😂 his bagel epiphany was something holy
@@ThePasinis Absolutely ! ♥️
Interesting comment considering religions are cults, and people are brainwashed into it like nonhuman animal products, and most people don’t know what love even means and just misuse the word.
I’m dying to see a New York style slice comparison
(Pizza, that is)
@@Cassxowary You really believe that one? So, you think you don't need God? Good luck with that.
I absolutely love the sheer joy on Alessio's face when he discovers a new food. You two are such an enjoyable couple to watch!
For dim sum you need to get the "classics" such as crystal shrimp dumpling or beef rice roll or siu mai. For cheesecake you need to go to Junior's in Brooklyn. NYC is such a foodie town. It's great!
100% correct.
Please go to dimsum with a cantonese person. -- sincerely, a cantonese american who is afraid to watch this video now lol
@@winterkeptuswarm ☠️ Nice way of inviting yourself.
Juniors, 100%!
Golden Unicorn instead of Nom Wah.
"Amore you're just trying to make people think that you're 100% Italian." 🤣😂
The "stealth" movement of the water that had ice in it over to Jesse was hilarious.
Around the corner from Katz Deli is the Tenement museum. Must do!
grazie mille
Your NYC adventures are inspiring and entertaining. Keep up the amazing work. Cheers!
thank you so much! we're so glad you guys are enjoying them!
I never heard anyone say they "hated" bagels, but I'm from New York City and we LOVE them here!
If all I had access to was the swill you find outside the tri-state area.... I'd probably say I hate them too... :)
I've never heard anyone say that either! Hahaha
Fondamentalmente il bagel e un panino, non ha niente che non va
The ones I tried were ok, but I‘ve never been blown away by them.
14 bucks for a bagel 🥯 26 bucks for a sandwich 🥪… I’ll stay away from NY
Now that's some awesome food! The bagel with the lox and stuff is classic. Pastrami on rye was one of my dad's favorites. I'm in Chicago and the best memory with my folks was waking up early on Sunday morning and going with them to the butcher, bakery and deli on Devon Ave. What a special time that was. Loved the video, 😊
🤣🤣🤣 The PAIN on his face when you went to the FRENCH restaurant/bakery!!🤣🤣🤣
I have always loved how passionate Italians are about food! They have definitely understood that food is one of lifes joys. And such a beautiful couple you are- inside and out. I wish you get your little one soon
As a NYer, you guys were spot on with your assessment.
1) A NYC bagel with lox and cream cheese is an absolutely transformative experience.
2) Katz's pastrami is a splurge but worth the price
3) Places like Nom Wah are overpriced hype (you're really just paying for the ambience of the street and feeling like you're on a movie set).
4) You were also right on with Magnolia's pudding - good, but totally overpriced.
5) Same with the cheesecake being overpriced and way too small!
6) dollar pizza is hit or miss but that one looked pretty bad.
7) As for Halal, that's hit or miss too, but every one ALWAYS has the red sauce that's unbearably hot! Everyone's made that mistake once of thinking it might be like regular hot sauce but just a single drop will ruin your whole meal.
Great video, you've got yourself a new subscriber and fan!
The moment I saw them hold up that dollar pizza and it was stiff like cardboard I knew it would be trash XD
Edit: I agree completely with your assessments. I find the main problem with food here is usually not that it's bad, just bad value for the price.
For cheesecake, try Juniors or Carnegie Delis. Either can be bought online. Carnegie is my fave - simple and unique. Juniors is from Brooklyn and has a gazillion different types.
Next time try The Burger Joint (it made Anthony Bourdain's list!), Gray's Papaya, Levain Bakery, and also Hop Kee on Mott Street
ooo! these sound good! Thank you so much!
Greys Papaya is the best hot dog everrrrrr! I’m so proud to be a New Yorker. We have such good sh*t all in one 22 mile island.
OMG…Levain…yum! What about Birthday Cake from Milk Bar?
@@ThePasinis Also Supermoon Bakehouse and Clinton St Baking Company.
I came here for these! how about Serendipty’s?! is it even still around, just wondering.
2:33 "New York, I want to do tumaywah" - Alessio 2022. NYC is the land of many cultures. It is estimated that around 800 languages are spoken in the city, so NYC is bound to have something for everyone. And when in doubt, have a pickle. Not eating a pickle is a crime against society
Alessio really showed his inner French purist with this one by being appalled by something that's croissant-like that isn't in the shape of a croissant.
2 Suggestions: 1. Queens, corner of 71st in Queens if the Pizza place is still there, get slice of cheese pizza and ask them to throw it in the oven before you have it. 2. you guys can take the subway to Coney Island, get the Nathan's hotdog and corn on the cob there, it's really good. I grew up in NYC. :)
I used to live just up the street from Nathan's in coney Island once
New York bagels are so good. Nothing like what you buy at a store.
Wow... I'm only halfway through the video but I'm amazed that Alessio went from hating bagels to wanting to go back to the bagel, lol. New York bagels for the win! 😂🙌
Edit: Just finished watching the whole video and I'm so glad Alessio actually went back to get more bagels. Just missing the pigeons! 😂
NY Bagels 🥯 with Lox is for the WIN
Montreal is a great bagel and smoked meat city as well. love the lox here, can't go wrong.
I love my NY bagels not toasted but a NY bialy lightly toasted with cream cheese, oh my goodness!
Alessio is a natural in front of the camera 😊
And really brave to stir up NY's rats with wings while he's eating!!
😂 he is the king of the pigeons!
You don’t if it’s nonhuman animal products. That’s brainwashing not love. Love doesn’t involve causing horrific things to yourself and others like us and the planet,
Sesame bagel, scallion cream cheese and tomatoes is my go to … I feel like the only acceptable time to toast a bagel is if it only has butter, it just melts the cream cheese and is a mess lol
What kind of heathen are you? A bialy with cream cheese? Geezus! You’re definitely not a NY’er.
Scrambled eggs and kielbasa on a toasted bialy. Used to get at Kiev on 2nd Ave, maybe Veselka....YUM
My husband is as proud of his Jewish foods as I am proud of my Sunday sauce. 😅 He is beaming, watching you both enjoy Katz’s. ❤ The cheesecake was waaay overpriced at Breads - and they are known for their babka. Next time!
Katz had been one of our BEST NY experiences!! Absolutely perfect! definitely need to try babka next time!!
Omg babka is SO good! I haven’t had it since I moved cities 💔
If you want cheesecake your best bet is Junior’s on Flatbush. Bread’s has been overpriced from day 1. Definitely a tourist trap. Should try Clinton St Baking Company for blueberry pancakes, Supermoon Bakehouse for croissants and Morganstern Ice Cream. All in the Lower East Side/Houston St area.
Next time at Katz’ try a knish. They’re amazing.
Love his love for bagel. Newyoker in making 😅
LMFAOOOO I’m not even one minute in and she says get your eating pants on amore and he looks down to check to make sure they’re on. IM WHEEZINGGGGG
You guys are so entertaining, sweet, friendly etc. I can't stop smiling🤗 How fun! God Bless✌
😊 thank you
Yeah, what a great couple. They seem so compatible and happy.
Bagels and cream cheese and salmon. It’s amazing. I’ve never had it in NYC, but other places which serve it blew my mind.
Lived in nyc for 28 years. Worst place to diet! Never had even a mediocre meal! Every meal was delicious! Miss NYC so much! Not only for the food but for everything! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The deep green pickles are called half-sour pickles. They have a lower acidity.If you leave it long enough in its brine, the green color fades and the acidity increases. At Breads Bakery you missed their Baguette. It won a contest sponsored by the NY French Consulate. A jury of French Boulangers and Pâtissiers named it the best in NYC. It's now the official baguette for the Consulate, through 2022 year end.
I do not eat meat anymore, but when I saw that pastrami on rye I almost died!!! My mouth is STILL watering at the thought of it!!! I find myself wondering......why did I give up meat? 😳 Thanks, guys!! 🤣🤣🤣
@DJ Ness This has been really difficult for me, but I am learning so MUCH along the way. Even as a child I struggled at the thought of eating another living being. I have always been more connected spiritually with animals than other humans. It basically came down to my conscience.
I gave up meat too. But I’m going to New York next month and Katz Deli might make me cheat. 🤣🤣🤣
@@phillipsmom6252 The timing of your reply is absurdly apropos!! 🤣 I had to leave the kitchen and go upstairs, literally just now, because my roommate is frying 🍳 bacon 🥓 and the smell is so heavenly that I did NOT want to slip up after 2+ years without meat!!! 🥩 🥴
@@firewaterbydesign hang in there!! 👍
ABSOLUTELY! The pastrami made me speechless. Tender deliciousness. @@phillipsmom6252
NY bagels and Katz's Deli are on my list of places to visit.
I much prefer your long format content to the shorts
Get a pastrami, extra bread on the side now you got two sandwiches, get a hotdog and a knish and a Dr. Brown cherry or cream can’t go wrong
How can anyone say they don’t love bagels??
It's like cats I think. Those that never had a cat say that, then.....if all you've ever had is crappy bagels, you will change your mind when it's good.
I think people have “bagels” somewhere or prepackaged like thomas’ “bagels” which are more like just gross bread and then they think they don’t like “bagels” when really they have never had a real bagel
A New York Bialy is better. And most people don’t know what a Bialy is. Which I think is sad. i’m just saying.
Usually they haven't been able to experience a New York, Montreal, or Jewish bakery style bagel. But maaaaan once you do
Bagels are overrated, English muffins for the win
Please please please do more food tour reviews, so much fun!
Yes! Lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel!!
I love how you tease each other. And now we need your banana pudding recipe now!
Seconded. Needing the recipe… : )
Can you please try some Bodega foods like a breakfast sandwich (even better if its Jersey style with pork roll) or a chopped cheese?
"This is called murder alley"
"What are we doing here?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like how the pigeons were there perfect timing and hyping Alessio up with the bagel.. like they were paid actors hahaa
Adore you guys!!
It's great seeing his experiences in New York.. Reminds me of my own experiences living in and around Tokyo trying new things. Thank you for sharing.
I truly enjoyed this video. I live in Australia and you just made me feel like I was on a foodie tour in NYC! Thank you. You guys are so kind and thoughtful. Thank you for paying it forward.
Love and light
🐝💛🧡💛🐝
I know a lot of people always trip on pricing for food but for the amount of time and work that goes into creating anything decent and paying people to make it. There is such a slim profit margin already so u become a workaholic to make sure ur dream doesn’t fail. Appreciate the art and try not to think of the price
That was a great vlog! Thanks. The bagel looked super yum.
Glad you liked it!!
Nom Wah actually opened up a branch in Philly. Food is delicious, but it probably doesn't compare to the original. Sadly, you guys didn't order the staple dim sum stuff like the shumai or har gow. the fried shrimp balls are delicious too, but Nom Wah has the best stuffed peppers, at least in the philly branch
Agreed. If you’re going to go to a dim sum place, get egg rolls and pan fried/veggie dumplings then you’re in the wrong place. Dim sum is Shrimp Har Gow, Pork Xiu Mai, Shrimp or beef rice paper rolls, turnip pan fried cake… otherwise, go to a dumpling place for those.
Should have tried the soup dumplings. They're delicious.
If you aren't into bagels very much, what you should do, Alessio, is toast a plain bagel (or plain sesame seed bagel) and top it with Nutella. The heat from the warmed bagel makes the Nutella all melty and it's so yummy! My sister-in-law turned me on to that little treat. So good. 😋
LOVE WATCHING CULTURES TRY OTHER CULTURES FOOD!!!! 🥰🥰
As an old school Born and Bred New Yorker, my two cents...
- Lox and Cream Cheese = Yes, classic New York
- French Toast bagel with birthday cake cream cheese. Just like your Italian husband. As a New Yorker, "No, just no" :(
- Pastrami on Rye or Corned Beef on Rye from Katz's = Yes! Classic New York! :)
- New York does have great Chinese food though. Woo Hop (legend) and Joe's Shanghi (newer legend)
- 99 cent Pizza scares New Yorkers too
- Cronut was just a trendy gimmick. Not classic New York. New York does have amazing bakeries
- Magnolia Bakery just got famous because of Sex and the City, not so much because of its food. It's not a landmark for New Yorkers. It's a landmark for tourists. $5 is cheap for New York. You're paying their rent too when you go to these places. Dominique Ansel Bakery is more of a landmark for New Yorkers.
- Cheesecake. Most New Yorkers eat cheesecake at a diner or local bakery. Junior's in Brooklyn is good too. $7-$9 is average. New York real estate is expensive.
- New York Hot Dogs. There are Four ways. 1) From a cart with onions (it's not raw onions, It's in a light tomato/paprika sauce), 2) from a Kosher Deli (sauerkraut and mustard). 3) Nathan's, 4) Gray's Papaya.
- Halal Food Cart food is not traditional New York. They just popped everywhere these days.
So nice you guys gave the food to the homeless man
Good advice 🗽🥰
You guys so fun ,myself married to a European woman and kinda do the same things you do, but much older and so were not making videos just eating, enjoying the food and life together, don't stop
It’s a rare RUclips video that makes me burst out laughing.; this one did, over and over. “You’re just trying to make everybody think that you’re 100% Italian.” Dam’.
❤ Love this foodie tour of NYC! Should’ve gone to Veniero’s off 1st Ave for NYC cheesecake with espresso, John’s Pizzeria on Bleeker (not $1), Grey’s Papaya for hotdogs but honestly a “dirty dog” from most street vendors is great! And, Hop Kee for Chinese. 😊
Wow! I am impressed with your list of recommendations! I have tried most of them and agree with your opinion! I will take note of John’s Pizza.
Always go to Venieros for the cheesecake when we visit NYC.....the best!
My wife and I want to go to NYC, but for completely different reasons. She wants to go to a Broadway show, I want to go to Katz Deli
Do both! Have fun🗽🥰
Katz's pastrami is a religious experience. So tender, you don't need teeth. They use the best cut to make their pastrami.
My mother makes the best New York Cheese Pie. She says that if you make cheesecake it's not the same. It is fantastic it is in a great sweet flaky crust with a cooked cream cheese, eggy, sweet cream filling topped with cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkled on top. She said she got the recipe for it from her Italian neighbor where grew up in Gibbstown, New Jersey almost straightacross the Delaware River from Philadelphia. I will have to get this recipe from her, she is 92 now and still spoils her 66 year old son with it.
You make me SO happy... lol. I'll try some of these places the next time I'm in NYC
Great video quality and I really enjoyed y’alls b-roll!!!! Awesome job and thank you both for sharing your food crawl with us 🥰
There are way better dim sum dishes than the ones tried! Siu mai, ha gow, soup dumplings, black sesame rolls, char siu bao (steamed or baked), tofu hua, steamed pork ribs, beef short ribs...and for adventurous palates there are delicious tripe dishes. For fried dishes, ham sui gok and taro dumpling. There's so many!
You guys are so funny. Love the edits with the pigeons. Haha. That cheesecake looked so good. Bagel too.
Love this episode!!! And sooo happy y’all got to have some legit dim sum!!!❤😋😋 and lol I’m Asian, but I slide food onto my plate or bowl like alessio too! Aww man to the hair in the food!! But shady Asian places are where the legit food is at😅😅 and agree with what someone else said down below earlier: it’s best to get the staples of dim sum like shumai (or shaomai), chicken feet, fried bean curd, haicao (shrimp dumplings), and whatever else that place is known for.
This video was amazing! Halal hot sauce is super spicy. The white sauce is amazing. Magnolia bakery banana pudding is unbelievable.
I found you two on tik tok and I love it everytime you pop up on my feed. You are the cutest couple and I love watching your videos!
oh my goodness! Thank you SO much!!
@@ThePasinis of course! You two are literally couple goals!
I knew Alessio was gonna be pissed with $.99 pizza. Obviously the banana pudding is overpriced but damn good!
I don’t know if he has experience with pizza in other parts of America but New York 99 cent pizza is usually better than standard priced pizza in the Midwest and southern states and west coast too.
NY Cheesecake is very expensive but true Cheesecake Lovers don't mind the price it's worth it!!! I bought my boyfriend a half of a cheesecake at Juniors in Midtown Manhattan and it was $50.00 yes for half a cheesecake but so worth it!! Juniors is world famous for their cheesecakes!!! Very creamy and delicious!!!! I'm 100% Italiano and I love cheesecake even better then Italian cheesecake!!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹
I am a native New Yorker, but I no longer reside there. All my family members who now live in other parts of the US always get tons of NY bagels when back in NY. Try walking on a plane with 3 dozen bagels.
"Pigeons, come to me!" 😆🤣
Omg you lost me at Birthday Cake Cream cheese! 🥴
But i know that Everything Lox Bagel was delicious!!
If you cross the river into NJ there is a classic North Jersey deli sandwich you should try, the Sloppy Joe (has nothing to do with ground beef.) It's a double-decker sandwich on Rye bread with meat (classic choices would be ham, roast beef, or turkey. Corned Beef or Pastrami is good too.), swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Thousand Island/Russian dressing.
Omg i love this channel 😂❤️❤️🤌✨
grazie mille
I enjoyed your New York food adventure so much, please do more cities.
I had exact same reaction as Alessio with my first bagel and lox at Tompkin's Square. Asked myself what else I'd been missing my whole life, lol.
Alessio king of the pigeons 😂 you guys seem so lovely. Would love to meet y’all one day
Definitely!!
You two are adorable! Thanks for the NYC food tour!
At Katz you ought to ask for a few additional bread slices, so you can have multiple sandwiches… 👌😎
Such an adorable couple!!!
When I was homeless .99 pizza wasn't so bad. The best was in Time Square picking through the garbage. Because they were always full I would just wait until a tourist would dump a full topping pizza out in the top of the garbage and be able to eat it before it touched anything funky.
It's good to see your faces, thank you ! And bravo cicio and ragassa!
The best Chinese food is found in flushing queens on main Street. Take the 7 train to get there. Takes about 45 mins on the subway as the 7 train is a local...so it's slow.
No potato knish or pretzel, y'all? Street cart near Penn station...
Thumbs up to a European who remembers about tipping. Thank you!
NYC has the best food! We have everything you could wish for, whatever your craving, where ever your from. We are blessed to be in a great mixed society.
I enjoyed the foodie tour very much. However, I was equally impressed by the diversity of the food choices and how much you actually mixed and matched your choices. I would become sick to be sure. I cannot eat foods like that and not get a little nauseous or a tummy ache. More power to you both!!!🌟
Guys. New Yorker here. Bagel MUST be toasted. It's even better when the cream cheese is all melty.
Another NYer here. Some people will run you out of town for toasting a fresh bagel, but yes toast it if it is not fresh.
Definitely!!
Agree with what Tracy S said!
I agree! But, honestly, New York bagels are SO delicious that you can enjoy them toasted or untoasted!!
With butter
@4:20 Katz delicatessen is the best. Omg how didn't I tell you about that? My grandfather's first job as a newly arrived immigrant in the 60s was at Katz. Great place too. The workers there are so cool and are locals, so they know much about the area. The pastrami sandwiches there are awesome
Many Dominicans work there, Alessio. That's our cousins. 🇵🇷🇩🇴🇪🇸🇮🇹
Also since you liked the street hot dog, Katz's hot dogs are excellent too!!
It’s overhyped and way to expensive, they are robbing ppl
Thank you for sharing!! This was lovely!
Love you guys!! Great video enjoyed watching every second of it!
That lox bagel looks delicious.
Try out Razza Pizza Artiginale in Jersey City and Fiore Deli of Hoboken in Hoboken. Casa Della Mozzarella Italian Deli in the Bronx is really good too. Halal street cart food is so good, glad u had some, u can get it less spicy next time
thank you so much for all these recs!!
@@ThePasinis of course, glad you appreciate it! 😄
You should try the pizza next to Casa de la Mozzarella. Also, have a cappuccino at Frank’s bakery and some pignoli cookies. Will make Alessio feel like he’s back home.
You're in the wrong borough for pizza. L &B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. ONLY GET THE SICILIAN PIZZA. You will go mad, it's amazing.
I started crying when you handed that bag of food to the gentleman.
You have golden hearts 🥰
So funny 😂 I love the last part😂
Subscribed 🙂 love you guys dynamic and relationship. My wife is European, we recently moved to Connecticut and have talked about doing a day like this. You both should try John's Pizza on Bleecker St. Apparently it's one of the best🍕
As a native New Yorker, I wouldn't have gone to any of the places after the Katz either. If they are still there. I would love to recommend some places.
I don't know if they're still around, but many years ago when I was a kid in NY, you used to be able to buy fresh, hot, soft pretzels at stands, a bit like hot dogs. I used to love those things!
u get them with mustard?
@@Leo-pt9ei. On the side!
Oh I just love the two of you ❤ Thank uou for the review of all the food places you visited, have noted for when I visit NY. Thank you again for an awesome video. 👌
Was in NYC last summer. Tried bagel, Nathans hot dog, cheesecake & several slices of NYC style pizza! 🙂
Not all bagels are created equal, good for you for trying them!
French Toast bagels with birthday cake cream cheese is SOOOOOOOO NOT a NYC thing. Next time, go to Russ and Daughters, and Yonah Schimmel which are just a few blocks form Katz. Also go to Zabars, and Barney Greengrass. You seriously missed out by not going to those places.
Entertaining, honest reviews and lots of fun seeing you in NYC!
Thank you guys for being real with us! i really appreciate it because it saves me the time of going out of my way to try those places when I visit NYC. You two are awesome for trying these places for us 😃💙💚💛
I literally laughed outloud at Alessio when he pretended to eat the cardboard. hahahaha
I love when you guys are surprised by the prices. It’s New York and rent is sky high Surprised the cheesecake was only $9. I Thought it would be $15 😂😂. I grew up there and now live in NC. I miss the bagels, Italian food, deli’s and Chinese food. Great video you guys always crack me up.
Alex why exactly do they crack you up?? Please explain
"Sangwich". This is how I will pronounce it from now on 💖
First time watching this channel...they are HILLARIOUS!!! Totally enjoyed this video!
❤ what a beautiful couple! You transmit so much good vibes, you generate joy, you are so funny, Alessio's reactions are unique😅😅👌👌
What city is next? It would be fun to see you try different cities and their food.
we tray to put a list!
Come to Boston lol
