10 Iconic NYC Restaurants To Visit When Social Distancing Is Over | Legendary Eats Marathon
86 and working the night shift
I hope this man survives the virus
Seriously I hope he’s doing what he loves because he looks like he needs a break. He should hire someone he can entrust his fortune too. May not be worth billions but his hearts worth that.
I really hope that Ray still has his store open after this quarantine. Such a beautiful soul 🥺
You are beautiful
Daniela Campo i hope it’s still open too🥺
Still open as of two days ago💜
Briana D this update is what my heart needed, thank you :) ❤️
I remember that!!!
I worked at Katz's Deli in 1968 for exactly 2 hours. Lol! I tried out for being the cashier there, but I wasn't fast enough for the lunch hour, which in that part of town was absolutely crazy! After they told me they couldn't hire me, I was offered to select anything I wanted for lunch. I had a corned beef on rye, huge side of fries! I can STILL taste that sandwich! So awesome! Great people too! Dying to go back someday!
What a story!
@@UR_Right24 dude i need to know this!
Stage Deli is pretty good too. I think it’s just pastrami on their sandwich though. No corned beef.
Good food to eat there I'm going to try it
Ooh! Good make up though!!
I think I have a crush on mark hahaha he's just so chill and patient when teaching how to make a pizza and he's so humble
Omg saaaaame 💕
56:53 SO MARK JUST BASICALLY ASKED THE HOST OUT HAHAHHAHAA
🤣🙈
Ive seen a lot of videos of handsome guys asking girls out that way. You don’t just say hey wanna go out? You have to come up with a good reason that it doesn’t seem obvious your asking them out.
Ray’s story is so interesting and emotional, the community came together to help him. Respect for him
Yep when he ate the Hersey bar, I started crying. So pure
My thoughts exactly.. Although, now that he has been 'exposed' let's hope the Iranian government doesn't come looking for him 😆
cant even make a living making people happy doing what you love...
ikr....so interesting...my dad is Italian loves the dishes, my mom is Jewish and I came to Jesus amazing grace & love both foods.,,,,yummy thanks all and to good eating and thank the good Lord for it all
ASM me too omg. Simple pleasures
The dude at Lucali's basically figured out 80% of how to make a perfect italian pizza on his own. LOL
I find Lucali's Mark to be very humble. Other Chef's at his level without show pride and how much great pizzas they make.
Ikr. As a chef myself, I thought Iacono had such a nice and mild temperament for a chef. Especially someone who's been in the business for so long. And very encouraging as a mentor too.
True, he also has a voice of a singer
He seems like a salt of the earth fella, imagine the pies that man has eaten!!! I hope he is doing well
Smells good great food to eat at
His chemistry with the host was also adorable
Why did Ray eating the Hersey bar make me tear up LOOOL
ohbandz word..lol...love old man Ray!!!! Feeding me over 42years, then my son 30years..now my grandson this year! OG RAY”
Glad I wasn't the only one 😅
TONY RIVERA Bro please tell me ray is still going strong because he is the definition of the reason why America is such a great place
😂🤟🏿
@@tonyrivera7792 so you had a baby since you were 12?
Ray sacrificed literally everything for his dream and to help other people. That's amazing. I hope he is doing very well.
I am just sad that he could not earn enough to retire.
yeah he dead
Smells good great food to eat
At first, I was so confused by all the comments about Ray. Now that I've watched his part, I agree. Someone over in NYC, please, make sure that man is doing well 🙏🏽
he's still there! I love ray's!
@@quinnbaileytravel1325 🥰
Does he have any family or kids to take over for him?
I wanna eat there someday
@@brightmacsworld8353 IS HE STILL THERE!!!
You know, the pizza man seems like a nice guy in how he patiently trained the reporter on how to make pizza. I like him! If I ever get a chance to visit NYC, I'll go and patronize his business.
Ray must be protected at all cost. Such a sweetheart
Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now

@@user-zz5gw2zp3f 💕🙉🙈🐯🐯😭
Great food to try
The owner of Lucali Pizzeria is so humble and charming and handsome and ughhhhh 😍🤤
YUP *Swoon*
The pizza guy is surprised himself “how the hell do people love my pizza I don’t know what I am doing” 😂 all he did was cheese and dow simplicity
9:53 - God Bless Mr. Asghar, you are a true example of hard work for younger generations.
omg ray is such a cutie :') melted my heart when he showed off the hershey bar
He's a great guy,,meet him. Years back.
Ray is sooo sweet! I just wanna give him a hug! I hope his business survives this pandemic. 😭😭😭
Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
Looks like they are open again and Ray is still there.
Good food to eat
I literally cried when I saw Rays shop🥺 that’s literally the true meaning of the American Dream. What an amazing, amazing man!
Ray's people coming to donate to save his shop is the best of humanity God Bless each of you.
Everything Looks a 100 times better when you’re stuck inside all day.
Right? We have been cooking so much food
Yeah sis, it does
You not lying.
KayANORUDOG that’s what I’m missing the most .. my kid in nyc and great food
Chef May I lol by the time this is over well all be master chefs 😂🤣
I lived on the lower east side in the early 2000s and used to go to ray when he just sold the basics,he always made you feel happy,he would give you free fries if you had only money for a coffee,a great man
Damn, I legit teared up over the Ray segment. Can't wait to get back to New York after two years away. Went to Ray's all the time and he's just the most wonderful man. Never knew all the history behind the place. Protect him!!
....... did you go back
"When Social Distancing Is Over" oh sweet summer child...
The word is already coming back to normal. Covid isn't gonna last forever. We just have to move on. The UK is opening up on the 21st
@@anonanon1462 agreed, now governments know what they can do “ for our own good” just wait till the next flu season “ it’s sUpPper DeAdLLy this year” or for climes change ... etc... I sincerely hope my position is “ just a conspiracy theory “
@@anonanon1462 That's what NYC must do. Many other states are already way ahead of you in reopening.
Still going.
@@idkjustchangingmyname7343 there is no longer term then the “ temporary”...
OMG Ray is the cutest, reminds me of my grandpa 🥺
Ray is too precious 🥺
Im your 100th comment horay time for some celebration🎉
The lucali owner hooked up with her for sure😂😂 like a 100%
Ray eating his Hershey bar got me all teary!🙋♀️😭🍫
"I think part of the charm at Lucali is..."
THE OWNER?
She wanted that diesel
51:59 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@quackgarage9551 Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
The sexual tension between the reporter and Lucali’s mark is hilarious.
YES OMG AT 52:00
haha he is so damn charming though!
I mean he is kinda cute, also 56:36
Haha! So true!
Yes, I think that naming a pizza from his place after you is taking flirting to high art. I want to kiss his whole face.
Whether I got pizza or not, I just want to hang out with Mark from Loucalis 😊
He is so humble & nice. We need more ppl like him in the world. 🥰
Anyone else wanna give Ray a hug? I just hope his store is still open after quarantine
Mamunes falafel
i have so much love for ray and his beautiful soul i actually cried when he was eating that chocolate because it reminded me of my grandma who recently passed and she was just a cute old lady who loved chocolate and shoved it in her mouth like that and he’s a cute old man who loves chocolate idk maybe it’s just me comparing her because i miss her but i needed to see that, thank you ray one day i will fly out to new york and the first thing i will do is visit your special candy shop ❤️
Oh my!! Yes! My mom-mom too would gum chocolate just like that. 😥😥
Aww that's so sad but yet so sweet, I hope your feeling much better 💗
I wish I
I could eat all that food
Rays Candy store is my favorite. Puerto Rican Iranian its so hilarious...
“Stuck on the couch this week” HA. Understatement of the year. Literally the whole year.
I live in New York but have never been to Ray's, after quarantine I definitely will now! He seems like such a sweet soul, I just want to go and leave a massive tip for him
Mark is a really humble down to earth human chef ever. He literally tought Herrine everything about his food
Anyone else see my man Mark smooth as silk get a date out of her at 56:55?
Zed Four Me I thought it’s just me 🤔😂 So obvious! 🙈
The guy looks like mr.big
sheeplvl1 Mr Big and Jamie Lannister.
he has a wife tho-hes my friends dad lmao
haha.. so charming
Ray is a great example of what you can accomplish if youre willing to take a risk and never look back
Katz's is an absolute must. It sets an unreachable bar for pastrami. Nothing else compares.
I truly enjoyed watching near toothless sweet Ray, scarf down half of a Hershey bar in one bite.
56:53 SO MARK JUST BASICALLY ASKED THE HOST OUT HAHAHHAHAA
Ray is such a sweetheart.
Thanks everyone who helped to save his shop. It's good people like his food and support him.
No one can live forever
I love the food
Ray seems like such a pure soul. Bless him.
Katz’s owner definitley pulled the reporter after that lmao
Ray's was the cutest.... I hope the best for Ray's.. Hope it still continues to spread its magic during quarantine via delivery systems and after the lockdown ends❤️❤️❤️❤️
4:12 "it's about treating the piece of meat like you would a child" by cutting it into thin slices and serving it on rye...
the only way to treat a child
Yeah I guess I’m not the only one that thought it was a weird thing to say.
LMAO
Isabella Marie AHAHAHAHHAHAH BEST COMMENT OF THE CENTURY
Hopefully whoever prepared that meat isn't a Catholic priest.
Across the street from Katz's Deli: il laboratorio del gelato. I recommend both!
People like Ray are what keep my hope in humanity
2 minutes into the video,i realised its 1 hour long
Wtf😂
They mashed 10 videos in one video
Lol same!
I just realized, 13min in, cause I saw an other comment about it😂
@@Kiba_g M2
Oh damn! Thanks for pointing that out and byeee😆🤘
Herrine and Mark low-key flirting. My guy Mark is smooth af
AS A TRUE NEW YORKER BORN AND RAISED I TESTIFY THAT THIS DOCUMENTARY IS 100% ACCURATE= THESE ARE THE BEST AND ICONS OF OUR GREAT CITY. NYC I LOVE YOU!!! I GREW UP ON PAPAYA KING, PETER LUGERS AND ALL OF THIS )
I have been privileged to have eaten at several of these great places on my visits to NYC and I must say that you really nailed it. Ten great places. Are there more? Oh, yeah. So, after the pandemic lifts, have fun trying as many as you can.
Any more than you recommend? I'll be visiting soon.
Let's face it... Everybody watching this video doesn't actually live in NYC
Xavier Stocca oh you’ll be surprised cause I live here and im watching lol
Nah I do I just don’t live near these restaurants lol
Wrong !
Probably will never go to NY, would be cool though!?
im wathcing this with frozen balls from fkin russia..
Ray!!!! So wholesome! Next time I go to New York again, I MUST VISIT!!!! He was literally the sweetest man omg!
"When Social Distancing Is Over" lol
We're still social distancing a yr later...
ruclips.net/video/sMG1nlQi5bg/видео.html ,,..
My thoughts exactly. Not sure why this video was recommended to me but I couldn't resist pointing this out.
Hi
@@codykeller7512 hi
The owner of Lucali is probably the most sympathic person on earth!!! 💯❤️
Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
i can't visit these even after social distancing is over
btw guys check out my ASMR cooking channel
Trying to Food you should go now and skip the lines
I’m sure you’ll be able to get a Papaya King
Why not?
@@danajo2219 it's either he/she lives far from that place or can't afford to. I'm not so sure tho
Who knows, it might never be over.
I cannot believe how CHEF MARK IS SO HANDSOME GOWD GOWD GOWD!
Never been more proud to be Iranian. Love Ray sm 🥰
“Your probably stuck on the couch. It’s weird but-“
B**** this is my life every day XD
You guys across the pond stay safe in this mad time of coronavirus19. Looking forward to coming back to New York in 2021 love and peace from the UK 🇬🇧,together we stand🇺🇸
Sending thoughts for your prime minister, hope he survives the ICU stay.
Terry cousins hope you’re well, sending love from California
Akenia Diaz
This Brit would love to be in Cali right now! 😢😢😢😢😢
pavelow235
He’s ok now!
Akenia Diaz
Love ya hat!
Mark Iacono is the man. Supporting hungry and down n out locals through all this. Peace bro!
i miss anthony bourdain 🥺 ive learned alot from his shows
I've had Pastrami + Rye in multiple metropolitan cities around the world in multiple Deli style eateries, approx. 12 or 13 different places and honestly the best quality & tastiest was in Melbourne & a market food stall in Marrakesh.
The small restaurants are the ones that'll need the most help! We all need to come together and support these places we grew up with and the ones that act like the bridge between the old world and the new 💜
It's 3 am. I'm hungry. I'm confined. I'm literally in Europe. 0 chances of going anywhere close to New-York this year. And yet here I am looking at all of this. not gonna lie 0 regrets
Lol nice
Lucali is an absolute legend when it comes to a classic pie.
You know pizza is going to be good when the maker has jeans and a classic white tee on.
That’s the dumbest rationale I’ve ever heard
Ray is a good soul. We all need to be one.
It takes 62 minutes to list 10 restaurants to try?!
Well then again, what else am I going to do during quarantine? Bring it on.
alphant1 lmao why?
@@thecookingnerd8384 That dude always trolls my comments. He's probably jealous that I get so many likes and even subs.
WTF. Nope. I'm out! See y'all later
lololololololololol
Stfu
Watching Asghar/Ray eat that Hershey bar, hit my soul.
Me too
I've been vegan for 2 years,Katz pastrami and Moumoud Falafel and Lamb on West 4th,a few doors down from Ray's pizza,across the street from Frit's,I miss them the most. Especially Katz's. It's an experience,best pastrami and corn beef ever.
Ray is so adorable 💜🌻 He’s so interesting and he just wants to make people’s day.
Im from the UK and I’ve got to say I regret the day I ever went to Katz Deli on my visit to NYC because it has ruined pastrami for me! I can’t even go near regular pastrami anymore , that British supermarket pastrami I used to enjoy is over. Thank you Katz XD
Ray where ever you are God bless you ❤️
Love this! Love hearing the history of the restaurants

I’ve tried Katz ain’t going to lie I went back for like a straight week and after first trying it out
bootleg Schwartz's
TENDER & JUICY
Katz’s was to busy for me my anxiety skyrocketed and I wasn’t in the best mood 😅 I would have to order it as take away 😭
Who just watches knowing they're never going to new york
Yep ..... me !!!
I might find his summer but not likely
They’re*
Mee
was there
That pizza guy was going all for it 😂
Ray is the embodiment of New York City ... My friend's dad came to the US with $75 to his name and nothing else. He opened Mamoun's Falafel, not far from Ray's, which was one of the first of its kind and often makes these kinda lists. They say if you can make it in NY, you can make it anywhere, and guys like Ray and my friend's dad prove that to be true.
“Papaya is great with vodka”
Most New York thing to say ever.
Over the years, and with great experimentation and a lot of time on my hands, I found that any alcohol goes well with papaya and two hot dogs at 3 AM on 72nd St and B’way
"Do you like garlic?"
"I am Korean" hahahahahaha
I bet everyone watching this has gone to the fridge to grab a snack 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
@@user-zz5gw2zp3f what the heck
@@user-zz5gw2zp3f simp spotted
Guys you nailed it, did very well to cover it, thank you so much for all these explorations
Was at NYC 2 years ago. I swear the pastrami on rye kick ass. I travelled with my wife from Canberra Australia’s to NYC and it’s was my goal to have Kat’z pastrami. Nothing taste better.
schwartz's
Happy you liked it😄
Ray's like five years older than my great grandma I hope hes ok
He’s good , I just visited the store yesterday and was greeted by him as I purchased some fried Oreos . He’s still in good spirits !
My favorite is Ray, I want him to go on vacation and I can do his night shifts for him he’s such a sweetheart 🥺 when I go to New York he can take my money, definitely going to his shop
New Yorker here. With the way this city is going, I don’t even know if half of these restaurants are going to survive. It’s the truth.
And that's so sad!
They are all still open, so you were wrong.
Omg mark was so cute with her 😭💕
Ray eating the Chocolate 🥺🥺
Ray is the personification of love and sweetness, literally
New York has some of the best food, love it.
THE best food. The worst RENTS.
The story of Rays is so heartwarming. He is so adorable! :)
Yes guys. The sandwiches at Katz’s are HUGE. And yes, the line still ends up all the way around the block; especially on the weekends..Shalum!🙏🏾
Rainy day yum yums! Saw this vid and made a beeline to Ray’s! It is literally everything the video said it would be! My mom is currently digging into the fried Oreos as I bust down my Belgian cheese fries! Everything is absolutely fresh and delish!!!! And Ray (who was the only person manning the counter!) brought my food out so fast! He’s so friendly. And efficient! Thank you Ray‼️😘😘I’m so glad I came.
How she gets emotional about the pizza is so realistic and wholesome
Guy: “It’s like treating a piece of meat like a child.”
Me: “By cutting it up.” 😃👍
"It´s about treating the meat like you would a child"
Proceeds to throw meat in an oven and cut it into thin pieces
This was a pleasurable presentation, thank you so much
im from the uk and a big thumbs up to rays candy store ive never been to america but what a great story and what a great guy. and well done to all those who supported him throught tough times with greedy landlords
