- For the first time (for both of us), we visited New York! We spent a couple days exploring and trying things our Patreon backers recommended, and then we attended the White Plains Reptile Expo, which you can learn more about here (not a sponsor!):

To be fair, it's not a true New York experience if you *don't* see someone peeing on the Subway.
It was my little sister’s favorite part of Boston.
Saw someone taking a huge 💩 in the subway in PA lol
Facts
You must be referring to NYC which the rest of New York state doesn't claim as being part of our beautiful state.
Subway, its underground! 🤣
This is Meg's dad (from DesignsFromMeg), you guys were awesome to meet and so kind with your encouragement. As I shared with you, her love of snakes began when she found your show about 4 years ago. Two snakes and one etsy store later, her love continues to grow. Thank you for planting that seed and your encouragement at the show. You both rock!
Your daughter is SO TALENTED! I LOVE her mousepad designs!
Thank you, I am very proud of her 🥰
Meg's work caught my eye when Emily and Ed did the show walk through. I was hoping to learn the source... then they did the close-up of her work at the end of the video! I'll look her up now!!
P.s. what a good dad you are!!
Those are cute. I really hope they’re real art and not AI generated!
Yeah really cool merch. Shes a great designer/artist. Keep working on your craft sister and stay focused. You're doing a great job Meg.
Hey Emily and Ed! I'm Meg from DesignsFromMeg. Thank you so much for adding me to your video! You have no clue how much this means to me as you guys were the ones who taught me about reptiles. You inspired me to start this business and started my love for reptiles. I actually do have two corn snakes, but only because of you, do I love them so much. I love and appreciate everything you guys do! Thank you so so much for everything you have given me through your work! You guys are amazing!
Love your art!
You've done well, and you've got a real proud dad too, which is also cool. Your art is already fantastic
The fact that you made it out of that pizza place alive is a testament to the forgiveness of New Yorkers.

To be fair, New York pizza is bland, boring, and incredibly overrated.

@@QWERTYOP80 we have Chicago deep dish too, we just call it lasagna.
@@ADKEMThow dare you insult lasagna like that! 😊
Hi Emily. New Yorker here~ What you ate is called a 'White Slice' of Pizza :) It has no tomato sauce and it has both the traditional melted processed mozzarella cheese and ricotta (the white spots you saw on the slice) :)
My favorite.
Good to know! It was so tasty!
OMG HI SNAKE DISCOVERY
Hi my fav snek discovery
@@SnakeDiscoveryJust a question, how do I send fanmail?
As a European it’s so wild to me that plenty of Americans are not used to public transport. I’m happy that the subway ride was as much fun as you hoped it would be!
Most Americans are used to public transport... but Subways aren't ubiquitous. There just isn't that much of a need for them or the water table prevents them. In addition to NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Philly, LA, Baltimore, Seattle, Miami, Portland, Atlanta, Cleveland, & Newark all have subways. San Francisco Bay Area, Greater Philadelphia, & Chicago also incorporate elevated trains, highspeed light rail, busses, & trolleys with the "subway" sometimes being subterranean & sometimes above ground. Busses & light rail just do better further out from city centers. And then there's Amtrak which serves the Atlantic Corridor quite well given it owns those tracks. (Amtrak shares track with cargo transport rail everywhere else which does cause a lot of issues & the laws need to change to fix that). There's also Bright Line in Florida. What SO MANY Europeans don't get is that the US is like 50 small countries stitched together. The EU is far more like the United States.. than say the US is like just France or just Germany on its own. Emily & Ed live out in rural Minnesota/Wisconsin. Your neighbor could be a 20 minute drive from you out there. Public transit just doesn't make sense when population density is a few people per square mile.
i thought exactly the same. :D
The thing is, as we do have subways in some of our cities/capitals of our states, some of us prefer not to use them--- due to safety reasons. For instance, it's known to the locals to not use subways after sunset due to risk of muggings/assaults in my city, but it might be different elsewhere.
Also consider that the PNW is VERY hilly which requires a LOT of drilling tunnels for light rail. That gets horribly expensive and people would prefer buses. Outside of major cities it is ultra expensive to run bus lines, let alone light rail. Consider the size of European countries vs the square miles of the entire USA. That may explain density vs land to serve. In that states run their rapid transit.
Consider these issues before complaining about US.
We don’t even have a taxi where I live, Small Town USA.
Ed’s face trying Emily’s coffee is everything
Man turned into a lizard 😂😂
He forgot how to blink for a sec 😂 Ed adds the humour that makes this channel shine.
Timestamp: 16:23
That's what I look like drinking *any* coffee.
I agree with the friend of mine that said, "I don't have a fear of heights, I have a respectful understanding of gravity."
A friend of mine once said to me 'your not scared of heights your scared of falling' and I said 'love, I'm scared of all of it' 😂
I went to ground zero in 2003, when debris was still being hauled away and the memorial board was just a wall people were writing names on. It's an incredibly sobering experience, and despite the construction, there was just this cone of silence over it all, no one spoke, no one said anything. It's a very quiet place in the middle of this bustling city.
As an Arab Muslim I'm too scared to go there cuz of the accusing glares I'd feel guilty ngl
@@khadijamalik8558I promise no one would care, it’s such a multicultural city you wouldn’t be out of place
I went in April of 02 and stayed in NJ, and the Subway ride in was similar, silence on the train and visuals of damage and cleanup everywhere was so distressing to see, and I was NOT expecting it, came out of a tunnel right above everything 😣
you know that quite a few arab names are on the memorial as well.
As a bird mom, I appreciate all the pigeon content in this video. ♥
Speaking of work, I'd love to see a "day in the life of Emily and Ed" video. Get an idea of everything that the two of you do each day to run your business. ❤️
Also like to see, very curious how long it takes to feed everyone/ care for everyone every day.
A white slice is a solid first choice. Y'all are cracking me up hand feeding the flying rats and looking for "wild" rats.
I said exactly that “It’s definitely not a find to see rats, we have a whole rat Czar supposedly”😂
I lived in northern New Jersey for most of my life, so it's actually really adorable seeing Emily & Ed visit New York and do a bunch of touristy things like go anywhere near Times Square 😄
I have never once willingly gone near Times Square
Yeah, as someone who grew up in NYC (but hasn't lived there for quite a while), the first thing I recommend when people ask me what to do in NY is tell them to stay away from Times Square. 🤣
As a New Yorker, I hope you enjoyed your stay! It was so wholesome seeing y’all explore and appreciate the things we may take for granted😊 Even the rats and pee stench lol. My recommendations for next time are definitely a Broadway show and some fresh bagels ❤
Nothing like a good NY bagel!
Seconded
When there still warm to omg
As someone who is a born and raised New Yorker, and had the privilege of going to college in NYC, I’m always amazed at people who have never been to NY before. Also white pizza is a favorite of mine and it’s usually mozzarella and the bigger “globs” are ricotta cheese. I’ve moved from NY about several years ago because of my wife when we first started dating. And while I can find good pizza here I miss NY pizza so much!!! Thanks for sharing this I miss my home often so it’s nice to see others experiencing it ❤ I hope my wife and I can make it out to you all at Snake Discovery!
Amazed at people who have never been there? What? You realize the world is a huge place, right? How many places have you never been?
@@dirtywhitellama lol yes I do realize this 😂
The adorableness of Emily and Ed in tourist mode is top notch-I was smiling the entire video
Hi! I was one of the fans you met at the expo! Not sure if you remember me but I was the kid with the blue and pink striped shirt with white shorts. I just wanted to let you know that I am so grateful to meet you guys, you have inspired me throughout my pet keeping journey! Your channel has taught me so much about what I know and I am forever thankful. Thank you so much!!!
-Eli
Bahaha! You found Master Splinter 🐀 now you just need to find 🐢Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael. Thanks for sharing another great adventure Emily and Ed 💜🐍
My hamsters name is master splinter lol
@@GraceIdk-zj6qwmy rats name is master splinter and I recently got turtle eggs from a friend so I have to wait for them to hatch
You know the coffee is strong when Ed closes one eye and is still staring into the abyss with the other.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Right!
I think my favorite part of this whole thing is Ed and his love of the pigeons! 🐦
I LOVE SNAKE DISCOVERY!!! Guess what they inspired me to do!
Breed snakes and we’re breeding corns next yr!
they have inspired me in so much I am getting ready to bread bearded dragons here in eastern washington there is little places to buy reptiles and supplies
I'm breeding Boa Constrictors
They inspired me to buy a snake :) once I move out in a few years I’ll absolutely start breeding snakes!
I'm sorry I sent you on the 2 hours goose chase, but I'm glad he found his Pizza place he was looking for! I didn't even know there was a second location. What you guys went to as "second location" is the one I used to go to. I haven't been to New York in quite a while.
😂🤣, "That is so weird!!! Snake food just running around"😆🙃😁
Re: Pizza... Chicago vs NY - they are completely different creatures and shouldn't be compared! Both are lovely and have their positive and negatives (I'll admit I'm very partial to NY) kind of like snakes and lizards - they are both reptiles but are different and equally lovely. :-)
as a pigeon fancier this was extremely fun to watch all the pigeons integrading with scoiety. I love it, they are all so cute.
The casual pigeons walking around behind Emily 😂 I hope you guys had fun in new york❤🎉
Yaaaaaay! As a resident of Queens and long time viewer WELCOME! And yes, lotta pigeons. They're descendants of racing pigeons! Also Joe's is awesome. I'm not surprised you spent so long in Penn Station going in circles that place is a portal to limbo.
Haha watching people who have never been to NYC as a New Yorker is hilarious. The excitement over the subway, the rats, the pee. Y’all make me laugh and I love it 😂💖💖💖
Ed's reaction to Emily's coffee 16:21 😂😂 he really said 😵💫🥴
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
@@redlineshipping2507 omgggg hi redline! 🤣
Of course we stay to the end!! I love longer videos, can’t believe you went and did a full days work 😂😂
That’s why you’ll forever be amazing, so down to earth and deserve every success you have worked so hard for
First of all:
I didn’t know Reptile Expos were held in NYC and the show looked AMAZING!!! 🤩
Second of all:
12:24 I would like to praise Ed and Emily for deciding to include and talk about 9/11 and the memorial at the World Trade Center and the fact that Emily decided to share her story of what she remembers that happened on the day that changed not only America but the entire world shows that she cares about everyone and wants the families of the victims to know that she has empathy for them and the fact Ed decided to include the victims’ names on the South Pool shows he also has empathy. Thank you Ed and Emily.
Sending love from California!
Riding the subway is something I regret not doing on my trip to NYC! There’s so much to see/do/eat that I didn’t even think of it until we were already on our way back to Canada. I’m glad Ed & Emily were able to experience it. Also, Junior’s is _amazing!_
If you make it back someday, be sure to do a Circle Line Boat Tour. You'll not regret it! (assuming you don't get sea sick) Also, did you get to take in a show? Every day, they sell all the unsold tickets to shows for a deep discount if you're willing to wait in line & see whatever show is available. Super fun way to do Broadway on the cheap.
What did you take instead to get around? Buses?
You didnt miss out on much except really angry crackheads and the strong smell of piss on the subway.
OMG I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU GUYS WERE FILMING! I hope I didn't interrupt too much. I was so excited to see you two in White plains.
I feel like such a creeper 😂
Aww! Was it cool meeting them? 😂💙
Time stamp?
My anxiety had anxiety just watching you walk around NY 😂 glad yall had fun!
It's a great city.
@justmejenny7986 with all due respect. There is no such thing as a great city for those with severe human induced anxiety 😅 all cities are... avoidable 🤣
I feel ya. When I was in NY I wanted to crawl out of my own skin and hide in a hole >.
You guys touristing is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. I'm the tourist who is trying to blend in, not to be cool but more in a "Please don't look at me!" kind of way. So your unabashed enthusiasm was so freaking wholesome.
I'm dealing with a cold & of course I had to watch what I think are America's cutest & nicest couple to distract myself. You two are also very funny, (not good if you have a cough, lol, because I kept laughing while watching this video). Thank you for another great show!
I wanna say when you all say “Bag” it warms my whole heart Minisotans have a very specific accent that causes the word bag to sound different and I wanna say it makes my whole day better hearing it
When you guys went to Whistle & Fizz and said that was some "strong coffee", I remember when I visited Italy and learned that the Americano coffee was created because Americans in WW2 couldn't handle how strong Italian espresso is. So the Italians diluted their espresso with water and called in Americano. I hope Ed and Emily get a chance to visit Italy one day to enjoy coffee like the Italians would.
I live in Toronto Canada which is very similar to New York City....the noise, the crowds, the traffic, the subways....the pigeons and the rats.....and we have raccoons! That was a sobering moment when you were at the World Trade Centre Memorial.....I had my recently born daughter on my lap and I was crying, watching it on the news......and, of course, I wondered what kind of a world had I brought her into......but knowing young people like you and Ed exist and all the good you do on your channel restores my faith in the future. There is hope!🥰
I lived 10 min from the white plains city center where the expo was held! It’s so cool seeing RUclipsrs come to where I lived for most of
My life.
Thank you for sharing your 9/11 experience. I was 16 when the towers fell. My mom woke me up and told me something had happened in NY and that she had also learned that one of my uncles had passed away, but she wanted to make sure that I knew that the two incidents weren't related. She kept my little brother home from school that day , but I was able to go to class. We lived in California so school wasn't canceled. That whole day in all but one of my classes all we did was watch the news. I had Japanese as my last class of the day and my sensei (teacher) turned off the TV and had us focus on Japanese because "when we are in her class we are in Japan, and the terror attacks are not a Japanese problem". It was nice to have a break from the news.
I appreciated hearing your experience as a 10 year old. It was different from my experience as a 16 year old.
I also love what they did with the screens in the elevators of the world trade center. That was awesome.
That is SO awesome! When I lived in NYC I LOVED going to the White Plains show! Have an awesome time in NY, and you MUST go to Katz Deli in lower Manhattan for a Pastrami on rye! Be safe!
ABSOLUTE MUST!!!
@@trabash505 No doubt! Whenever I am back in NYC visiting my mom, Katz is at the top of the food list!!! That and my moms cooking. lol
@@bobafettuccine666 Totally worth the $25!!!! I went all the way downtown the other day, out of my way, just to feed the craving! Oh! And the matzo soup!!!
@@trabash505 You're killing me, but in a great way. lol The price is the price and New Yorkers who grew up with Katz know to pay wheverthehell they want. More than worth it. And yea aside from the amazing pastrami, everything else there is awesome too. I use to live on 3rd street between 1st and 2nd ave (next to the Hells Angels clubhouse) which made it extraordinarily easy to get there whenever I wanted. Damn, now I have to place an order to be shipped to me!!!!
@bobafettuccine666 Sorry!!!! Lol If it helps, I'm literally salivating thinking about it! So worth it! I mean, I got the half sandwich and soup and it was lunch and dinner for me! They give you a ridiculous amount!
I can still remember to the day what I was doing when I found out about 9-11. That moment is literally etched in my brain. I was working and doing rounds as a doctor so couldn’t really stop, but we watched it on a patients tv and cried. And then panicked about the people we knew that were in NYC. But it didn’t hit me fully untill later when I watched the second tower come down how big of a disaster this was. It definetly changed a lot of things for me that day. Can’t imagine how it must feel if you were actually a New Yorker.
The absolute joy you guys radiate is everything. I love that you stopped to play with the pidgeons.
6:55 Minnesotans on the subway! Exciting! That was my favorite part of NYC too.
Minnesota does have light rail and commuter rail, so we're not completely unfamiliar with rail transit. But there's no subway in the Twin cities.
I am surprised that they've never been on a subway before, though, because Chicago has a subway, and Chicago's a popular travel destination for midwesterners.
So much fun to watch these two ‘DO’ New York, especially the subway. 😂🤣😂🇨🇦 🚊
If you like the subway then you'd love the Vancouver sky train. At sunset is a must, with the mountains and ocean. Amazing.
I always love getting to see NYC through fresh eyes. It's always so fun! Next time you're in NYC (especially during fair weather months) y'all need to do a Circle Line Boat Tour! The guides are fabulous & hilarious... and you get to see more of NYC than you could possibly imagine along with fun history lessons & anecdotes. The last one I took, the tour guide pointed out the building his very first NYC apartment was in... 420sqft & he shared it with 3 other roommates. He was proud to say he'd upgraded to a luxurious 630sqft & only shares with one roommate now. (Both apartments being studios/lofts).
Also, fun fact, the NYC rat population is 1/3 the number of humans in NYC. About 3mil rats to roughly 8.5-9mil humans. As for the pigeons, there's no less than 4mil of those in NYC... or about half the population of humans. So combined, between regular rats & their winged brethren, it's about a 1:1 ratio of rat or pigeon to person!
I live in Melbourne and our city also has a 'subway' (just we don't call it that) too. Watching you guys get excited by one was super cute ❤.
PIZZA! I'm so happy you got to visit us at the show and saw my bullsnakes! Pizza is the male bull you got video of. I was hard core fan girling internally. 😂
These types of videos are starting to be my favorite
Please keep doing these!
Ed & Emily had to start a reptile zoo, just to be able to go on a vacation!!!
I used to pet sit a variety of animals but never a crocodile 😁
Glad you had fun 😊
It was so good to meet you guys there!! Hope you come back to New York again!!!
This was so fun to watch!
If I ever went to New York I wouldn’t stop hanging out with all of those pigeons! I love them
Subway scene - hilarious!
As a retired NYPD cop, I'm sorry I missed you at the NY reptile expo I'm there every 3 months or so. I hope you enjoyed the city..please come back soon.
Omg Ed, I love your sense of humor." Ellis Island, that's where all the immigrants went to change their names when they came here because people couldn't pronounce them." Lmfao. Laughed so hard Coffee came not my nose.
New Yorker here, it was so cute watching your culture shock with the city. You did amazingly well. You should come back and come to the Nassau or Suffolk Reptile Shows some time.
Wow, Joe's Pizza is really hopping. It's been years since I was there, but they were more of a hidden gem back then.
Yeah, I didn't think finding a laundromat would be difficult.
So right about the traffic. And there's still so much more in NYC you could see.
Woah I clicked as fast as I could, I love your channel!
Loved watching you guys enjoy NY. Didn't realize the pigeons were so friendly there they would eat out of your hand! Word of advise, feed birds seeds not bread; it's not good for them. Unsalted sunflower seeds are a great choice.
I went to NYC when I was 19, not even a year after 9/11. They had just barely finished cleaning up ground zero when we visited. I just remember there was a huge gap in the skyline where the towers were. It was really sombering to see and the atmosphere was so heavy. Definitely something I’ll never forget seeing ☹️
I appreciate the positivity you always express, I’m so impressed with you both!
This was so much fun to watch!
I won’t ever see New York in person, but this actually felt like a trip would have gone for me 😂
Haha Well, I made it in a Snake Discovery video for like a split second! Lol
Omg, Meg, you are an amazing artist! ❤Totally going to buy some of her products!! Wow!!
Ok, if anyone is planning a trip to NewYork and also wants to eat the best noodle soup of their life: Try Yama Ramen close to the rockefeller center. My standard order is the vegetarian ramen with the kimchi broth and added silk tofu and a poached egg on top. I miss eating this SO MUCH.
17:43 Zooming in: They have jewel orchids?!? I LOVE those! They're so hard to find in my state for less than $50. What I would give to visit that expo. So cool!
Edit: And is that a Red Secret alocasia off to the right?! Omg these are the most beautiful rare plants.
Emily: Yay we're in the subway!... Kinda smells like pee
Welcome to New York
Watching this brought back a lot of memories. I lived in New Jersey in 2001 and was at the top of the WTC on 9/3/2001, so the section at the new WTC is heartbreaking for me. I never went back after it happened.
Ive been watching your vids for 4 years now and seeing this made me happy and your channel has grew so much 💗
It's so funny watching you guys experience a (kinda crappy-looking, not going to lie) subway for the first time! My country is lucky to have a large network that connects even smaller towns to the bigger cities. I traveled various routes regularly for years heading to school and employment options. Lost small items a few times (most of which I could collect at the nearest lost-and-found a few days layer!) because of my ADHD brain running on ahead and forgetting, but I never had anything stolen.
Anyway, I love your work Snake Discovery! You guys are the reason why I got my first reptile, a wild type banded African Fat Tailed gecko! He's about 2 to 4 years and I got him for free on the 9th of October, off of a marketplace from a reptile keeper who was downsizing. His new name is Caraxes :)
(NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE AND SORRY IF IT IS) It is very clear you have ADHD by the amount you typed and the amount of brackets you have. Again sorry if this is rude
What I love about this video is that it's so similar to my experience when I went to NYC. I grew up in rural New England, so everything was magical and/or disgusting, even though I've been to Boston, Atlanta, and Seattle. The most important part of my trip, besides the podcast live shows, was the food. I don't think I saw as many pigeons though which honestly is a tragedy. I think they're so gosh darn cute.
Magical and/or disgusting is Manhattan in a nutshell!
I do have to ask no trip to the Statue of Liberty or Ellis island 😮 wowzers. My youngest son and his wife went and sent videos back of the WTC, it is just so chilling to see and watching that day plays in my head all the time, my 5 children where from their 20’s and this youngest son was about 7 yrs old. They also went to the one memorial they have in the building close to the tower memorial that shows how the steal was bent just from the shear force of the buildings falling. I was crying with ever picture or video he sent me. It still shakes me to the core. Tfs your adventure. ❤
Yes, Emily! Like Meg, you are the reason why I now own a Firecball python, Marci, and a plains hognose, Missy! Thank you for taking the fear of snakes from me and my family as well!! 😊❤ 2
Hope you had the chance to hang in Time Square at night, it's so much fun! Was nice meeting you at the show!
They did! 😁 Just after 5:41
1) my face dropped when you said “…. 5th grade…” as I was in college 😂
2) I’m glad you enjoyed all the things we native ny’ers are annoyed by (rats, subway filth, lines on the sidewalk)
3) Next time you’re in NY, hopefully you’ll visit Brooklyn, Harlem, some historic neighborhoods and places, and enjoy the architecture before they’re knocked down for “affordable housing” that we can’t afford 😂
For real. I was a full blown adult.
Thanks for the tour of NY,! 😊❤❤❤❤
As someone who grew up I. white plains I’m so glad you were able to go to the reptile show!!
This was AMAZING!! I've never been thank you for taken us with you❤❤❤❤❤❤
True New Yorker here!! I’m from the Upstate area of NY. If you guys like wine, The Finger Lakes region is where you should go upstate for the winery and the scenic views!
Oh boy the wine, with everybody's mom and aunt and grandma and etc on every wine tour..
The lakes are sweet, Lake Ontario is great to visit and Cayuga and Seneca Lakes are nice too.
I grew up on Seneca Lake!!
I love these little vlogs. Nice change up and like to see more of you as people! Em and Ed are one of my fav couples I have never met! LOL.
Emily, you were so right about not having the words to express how it feels to be at the memorial.
Moment for the people who searched New York blog to get this video
I love it when they go to different states and do these blog videos it’s so cool
This is such a great video. I totally enjoyed virtually going to NY with you guys!!! That was so fun.
So glad you experienced and enjoyed NYC. Hope you get to come back again.
I'm going to my first reptile expo in a few hours to buy my first snake! You guys have been the biggest inspiration and I hope to one day breed too!
Aww that’s amazing! I’m going to an expo in a few weeks. I’m so nervous and so excited.
How was it for you? Did you try your snake? 👀💙
Emily enters the subway: Wow, it smells like pee.
Me: Welcome to New York.
I'm glad you and Ed were able to visit NYC. Your enthusiasm for riding the subway is so cute, albeit weird to me since I'm a born and bred native New Yorker and have been riding the subway my whole life. Glad you enjoyed the white slice. If you prefer thicker pizza, try a Sicilian slice the next time you're here. They're thick squares of pizza. Aggressive driving is the norm here. To me, it's just normal driving. I actually get impatient when I ride in car with a good driver!
You were only 10 on 9/11? You are young. I was working downtown that day, just a five minute walk from the WTC. I'll never forget it. I grew up seeing the Twin Towers at the tip of Manhattan. The skyline still looks kinda weird to me without them.
Hope you get to make it back soon and have a Sicilian slice!
They really need more restrooms in the subway.
I do understand they removed a bunch so people couldn't do drugs in them...but that just created a different problem.
@@ladykoiwolfe It's not just the drug addicts or the homeless. A subway restroom is the perfect place to attack someone, usually to rob them. I certainly wouldn't feel safe using a subway restroom. I bet a lot of New Yorkers feel the same way. Especially these days when there's a surge of random attacks on the subway. I don't see that changing anytime soon. I don't feel a need for the subway restrooms to reopen. I plan around my commutes and make sure I use the restroom before I go to the subway. I also am careful about drinking beverages while commuting, especially if I'm gonna be on the subway a while. I live out in Queens too, and I commute to the city everyday. Go before you go and you'll be good.
I grew up 2 hours from New York so I've been visiting since I can remember and I don't have a "first time" experience like this, but I do have fun bringing other people to the city and something I always warn people about is the smell! Trash on streets, whiff of pee. I love the city, but it does not smell great.
I was 11. And even though I'm Canadian, they still pulled us out of school to watch all the news coverage.
I love your video’s and I love reptiles I watch y’all’s videos every day and night
Ed and the pigeons is such a vibe 😄
A person who feeds the pigeons would OF COURSE like deep dish pizza better! Don't worry. This New Yorker still loves ya!
We need more expo vids
As someone from New York, thank you for finally coming to my state, haha!
Thanks for sharing another great adventure Emily and Ed =3
I’m going to my first reptile expo tomorrow!
Say hi to the rats (not metaphorical, the actual city rodents). Yes they found some in the video. If you think there's a lot of pigeons, I think the rats out number them!
Also, cool reptiles at the end.
There's about 3mil rats in NYC... but pigeons are over 4mil. Combined, its about 1:1 of rat or pigeon to person in NYC.
Yeah!!! Tara and I have been waiting for this video to come out! It was so great to meet you and we loved seeing your NYC adventures! PS, another plug to come out to the Hamburg, PA reptile show some time and also visit Hershey! They are about an hour from each other and you can tour Hersey Chocolate world and make your own big chocolate bar!
Thank you so much, Ed and Emily, for taking us with you on your trip to NJ! I have never been, and you have allowed me to have somewhat of an experience!😍😍😍
That cheesecake looks so delicious 🤤
