Great story!!! Great people. This is what we need to see more rather than the thugs. Shows that it is possible to have something of real value to the community and to yourself.
As a German, king of queens used to run on German tv channels a lot when I was kid. It was all dubbed into German and would rerun endlessly, that's why it is very popular.
yup I buy my beer at the mom and pop liquor store ran by this one family. instead of a gas station like shell. a little pricier but worth it. they also sell 1$ ipa's grab a few of those too on top of the tall cans I get. cheers!
It looks like it’s coming back around too. At least myself and a few people I know have kinda made the shift because honestly it’s easier dealing with small businesses than it is working with a larger corporation.
Love the "WE DO NOT MIX" in the background, I'm always a fan of the uniquely aggressive signs at tiny food joints. If you walk into some hole in the wall joint and it says "WE HAVE ONE FLAVOR, NO SPECIAL ORDERS, NO REFUNDS" you *know* you're about to eat the best food of your life
Haha that's so true. Reminds me of Wilensky, an old Jewish deli in Montreal that's been running since 1932. They refuse to serve their flagship sandwich, 'the Special,' without mustard.
Make no mistake, it's not just about the ices or the TV show, this VERY Queens guy is the real attraction! Salute, my friend! You are what makes America great.
Yet he has a huge sign stating: “WE DO NOT MIX FLAVORS”. I don’t like mixing flavors, but I would walk away and spend my money at the next water ice place.
most my roots are German but I'm american but I had to have that show running for years or I wouldn't be able to sleep I slept to it every single night
It’s like how jerry Lewis was more popular in france than he ever was in america. Whatever Kevin James schtick is it must really connect with Germans for some cultural reason. Maybe after everything they did Germans wanted the least offensive form of comedy possible
that show has been always on TV since they started to show it Germany. it's pretty harmless and simple, so it translates well and people can relate to it. and germans are really into Americana. it's not even close to what the states are like. it's like the stereotype Americans have of Germany. you know, huge beer mugs, Lederhosen and so on. like the whole country is like Munich during Oktoberfest.
This channel does an excellent job of capturing the emotional connection between these places, the food they make, the people that make it and the community that consumes it.
King of Queens used to be on TV for a couple hours a day in Germany. It was very popular. It’s one show I can watch in German or English and still enjoy.
I don't know how you can stand it. Or maybe it's just me, I speak Spanish but I hate to see an American Show dubbed into Spanish...it sounds horrible! 😝😝!
God bless this hard working man, to even care about someone else's legacy SHOWS exactly what kind of character he has. He doesn't have to speak in a fake kind pretentious tone, this dude is the real deal.
The way this short video was edited is beautiful. Like others said, no non-sense. Just pure clean audio focusing on the main subject at hand, with great b-roll keeping it visually engaging.
This place always holds a special place in my heart, my grandpa would take me there when I came to visit ny every summer as a kid (ironically from Germany but not why I knew about it). Over the years our relationship got more and more strained we stopped meeting and he passed two years ago. I kinda wish I had been able to put all the issues aside and get an lemon ice one last time, but for now everytime I see the place or think of it I think of the better times with him.
This video reminds me of Hell’s Kitchens prime days. No over the top dramatic music spanned every second, just pure background kitchen ambience. Keep these up 🙏
I think this is a great example of how you preserve the legacy of a place even if it means selling outside the family. A lot of old time places near me just close when they can’t find a direct family member to take over so it’s lovely to see an alternative that keeps the business alive and continues the legacy (with a fresh face in charge).
candid. no stupid flashy lights. subtle subtitles. great storytelling. amazing cinematography. i think i just found another channel to regularly watch. nice going man :)
@@t7489The King of Queens appeals to the lowest common denominator. I can sort of understand why it and Friends may be so popular to certain audiences even if I’m not a fan. I loathe The Big Bang Theory, but somehow it was the #1 sitcom when it was new.
Oh I love this content so much. The reviving of old forgotten place in nooks and crannies is so heartening to see, even if im not American. A bit of melancholy and realism feeling your content emits. Its a documentary, an art!
The slight change in his voice/cadence when talking about the old owner. You can tell the two men had a close relationship and he takes great pride in continuing the legacy. What a great feeling though, to have the man who taught you all you knew believe in you to keep his name and business intact.
I love these videos! The New Yorkers in all these small family owned businesses are a wonderful sampling of what I often think New York is and was...Real People
Respect TF outta this man and his business partner. For keeping this NYC legacy going! I absolutely LOVE the place and stop in every time I'm in the neighborhood. God Bless and Godspeed 🙏
I would LOVE a shop like this!!!! I eat plenty Luigi italian ice cups, but these flavors and the authentic freshness of the product would taste amazing id imagine
That’s a good dude right there. The kind of guy you want to be friends with. He’s still paying homage to the original owner. If there is one thing that I’m learning about New England - heritage is important, but the people are are what matter most. 😊
I love places like this. You can feel the history in the place. Thousands of people over the last 80 years and so many memories have been made there. Thank you for always making amazing content!! I wouldn't know anything about Mr. Peter Benfaremo, or this wonderful gentleman carrying on his legacy otherwise. Keep 'em coming, please!!
Grade A content my guy!!!!Good story, better food, and the best person… my family has been going there for 3 generations now. I remember when things transitioned and it couldn’t have gone to a better deserving person who will keep it around for another 80 years ❤
Kudos to this man for keeping the business alive instead of selling it off to make a quick buck. Wholesome guy. Also love the channel, no loud obnoxious talking, sounds, music, no crazy jumpy editing. Just conversation with some interesting down to earth people, you tell a story well
As a native NYer who moved away, this is one of the handful of spots it's nice to go back to and remember the old New York - back when it was only 212 and 718, not 646, 347, 929, etc.
This place brings back so many childhood memories, I remember going there in the 80’s and 90’s, that was a threat for us. I now live in Illinois but when doing a tour of NY this is a must stop
He sound like he got emotional talking about the previous owners😮 that's freaking awesome❤ nothing wrong with getting a little emotional about something that paved the way for your way of life whatsoever😊❤❤❤❤ kudos to you sir and the previous owners😊
The Lemon King in Corona is an iconic landmark & is awesome!!! I loved getting an ice and going to the knoll and watching the older neighborhood men play Bachi ball ( idk if I spelled it right...but its a pissa listening to them argue and even fight..non violent..just words lmao!) May the Lemon Ice King be in business another 80+yrs!! The newer generations & generations to come need to experience this historic treat!!
I just discovered your channel and I already watched all the shorts. I’m from nyc lived there for 37 years. I’m currently in Maryland been here for 4 years now. Your videos bring me back man. You are doing a phenomenal job keep up the good work bro. I got some spots in Baltimore you need to visit. Good crab great people.
A simple genuine man, doing a simple hard days work, and enjoying the best times of his life. So nice to see In this crazy world of overstimulated zealots who try to complicate everything. May life bring you all that you deserve. You are the true super hero. Well done that man.
This guy been there since I was a kid. All my love to you showing love to Corona. Please dont leave until you showcase some Dominican Food. ❤Corona Queens through & through
VillaRosa in my town italian ices for 10 cents, loved it then once a week the man would go where my grandma worked and bring fresh loaves of bread she always came home. with one! What ever got hard was put in a paper bag and saved for stuffing! So grateful that she taught me i didnt have to buy bread crumbs or cubes, for our recipes. 🎉❤😊
I love you guys, my grandmother used to take me there all the time when I was a little girl. My grandmother lived in carona queens, my Nonna lived around the block, upon visiting my grandparents, we always went there on a hot summers day. O boy, brings back beautiful beautiful memories❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for your video. O boy what a great video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this place! Even though I no longer live in the neighborhood I still get there at least once every summer, usually after a Mets game as it's not far from the stadium, walkable after an afternoon game.
You rock dude. What a beautiful thing to do for someone legacy

This channel is so good, so different of what people make nowadays, so much better and chill, with a focus on the people and theirs stories, your content is an example of how things can be better!
I remember being a little kid in the 80’s, and there was a neighbor, little old lady, who sold huckabucks. If you don’t know, it’s basically kool aid in a small styrofoam cup, that’s been frozen. She’d sit on her porch and sell them for a quarter in summer. Turning the corner to her house and seeing her sitting there with that cooler, was like Christmas! One of my favorite childhood memories.
Imagine your first job being your only job. Think about that. You show up to work as a 15 year old kid having no idea that this is what you’ll be doing forever. Doesn’t get more charming than that
Pure Americana culture right here. Continuing a small mom and pop shop tradition for nearly a century. Reminds me of a place in my home state CT. A little shack off the side of the road called Harry’s place in colchester CT. Been running every season since 1914 and it was a definite stop on the way to and from the beach when I was growing up.
I absolutely love to see this man carrying on this business. So many old shops kn mt area have closed down, or been totally revamped into something else once rhe original owner dies or grows too old to care for the business. It always makes me sad because someone dedicated their life to a place, just for someone else to eventually come along and tear it down.

Small businesses are the heart of our country. We must support them!

It looks like it’s coming back around too. At least myself and a few people I know have kinda made the shift because honestly it’s easier dealing with small businesses than it is working with a larger corporation.
The fact he dedicated whole life there is simply amazing. Shows you where the happiness truly is

Working at the front window.
I love how he gives the old owner the title of King. ❤ That's a man of respect and integrity.

It’s like how jerry Lewis was more popular in france than he ever was in america. Whatever Kevin James schtick is it must really connect with Germans for some cultural reason.
Maybe after everything they did Germans wanted the least offensive form of comedy possible
For all his questionable acting choices, he does do fantastic physical comedy and could totally see the Germans digging that
Corona was a big German and Italian neighborhood

As a nobody 36 year from Brooklyn who’s having a difficult time as an adult this just brought me back to my youth for a good and happy 15 seconds.
We are all nobodys. Just some of us think they are better than others. This too shall pass, God willing.
We all feel like that sometimes. Today's problems are tomorrows comedies, try watching uplifting programs and funny shows that always helps me
