    Since you said it’s your first time having a bao bun.. btw they are usually half that size and 2 to 3 times the price so that’s a great deal!!!

      @@bodegacatx I feel like you should get as many of the items you want as long as each individual item is under 5 bucks. That way we can also see if it's tasty, and if we were to ever go at least we'd know that certain item(s) is under 5. Technically each item can count as a single meal!

    It's joey from PBD. I was born in Brooklyn (in 1964 - don't laugh) and grew up on Long Island. I left New York 28 years ago and now I am headed back with my family in June for the first time in 28 years. I have been watching your 5 dollar vegan meal videos and I am floored!!! Man, some of that stuff looks so good. I am hooked on your channel. I am hitting that Tomkins Bagels place for sure. Vegan cream cheese sucks overall so seeing all those options there made me suddenly miss NY style bagels. Thanks for doing this series and this is my new favorite binge. My first stop in NYC is going to be Spring Cafe for one of those Bau Buns. I am planning my whole trip around your videos.

    • @bodegacatx

    VeganBodegacat HOLY SNAP! I actually went to Spring Cafe after my doctor's appointment on the same day. I got the beyond meat Burger, with fries and hibiscus green tea-flavored lightly sweetened with stevia (which was really good) it was also the first time I had vegan cheese, which was delicious and hard to tell the difference.
    It was on the pricey side but I enjoyed it. Next time I might try the bao buns or just get a double beyond meat burger 😋
