      There was a lot of care in trying to fit multiple immigrant communities into the letters of the alphabet. No video of 26 dishes can be completely comprehensive but the attempt at inclusion is seen and appreciated.

  • @jamicakes
    @jamicakes 11 месяцев назад +375

    This is proof that quality takes time. I love how enthusiastic Berryl is.. and you can tell it’s because she took her time. She wasn’t exhausted from taking about all this food and history because she did it slowly over time. The result is an enthusiastic hostess that keeps you interested.

    • @BerylShereshewsky

    As a New Yorker, a restaurant worker, a history buff and an enthusiastic home cook - I absolutely loved this! Beryl, you've helped me try cooking new foods in my own home kitchen and now you've inspired me to get out and try so many of the amazing things our city has to offer. Keep up the good work, you're quickly becoming one of my favorite creators on RUclips!

      @andersonomo597 11 месяцев назад +3

      As a Sydneysider (Oz), a former waitress, a history buff and an enthusiastic home cook - I absolutely loved this! (*THANK YOU KATE TOO*!) I'll never get to New York, let's be honest, but I LOVED seeing the food, the venues, the history, the honor and the passion to maintain that heritage. Food, fashion, language, music, culture NEVER EVER stand still but they always echo and reverberate throughout humanity. Food brings us all together - we may argue over who's version is best but it very rarely ever leads to bloodshed. *THANK-YOU BERYL FOR A BRILLIANT VIDEO!!*

  • @ccs4957
    @ccs4957 11 месяцев назад +260

    Beryl- you outdid yourself! This needs to be on PBS or another major food/history network and blow up on social media. I can't believe you have less than 1 million subscribers. You not only cover the food, but the history behind the food. Entertainment and educational for the viewer. I follow lots of food YT and you outshine them by miles!

  • @happyhubbs
    @happyhubbs 11 месяцев назад +121

    YOU NEED AN AWARD FOR THIS VIDEO. This is hands down the best NYC food video I have seen. I am born and raised in NYC. You took me down memory lane while teaching me new things. So many beautiful cultures and their delicious food. Great great job

I am a native New Yorker, butI have been gone for a long time & when I visit next I'll be using this video to jog my memory and check out a few new places. Love you Beryl, our wholesome food queen!

    Being a foody and history nerd this is up my alley....PLUS being a New Yorker I can honestly admit that Beryl you have helped me explore our city more to many places I have never been and be aware of many places I've never been to and be adventurous in our own backyard. I feel like a hermit because all I do is work work work 😅 and not really stop to explore our city which is vast and has a lot to offer with a ton of cultural delicacies from around the world itself 😍🤤. Thank you for your content and hard work and sharing all these wonderful foods/history/culture with us❤.

  • @johanneshalberstadt3663
    @johanneshalberstadt3663 11 месяцев назад +57

    The New York Prezels look almost exactly look South German Pretzels. Only we would never pair them with mustard. They are eaten as is or cut (partially) open and buttered. Sometimes with chives sprinkled onto the butter.

    • @lisaschubert1396
      @lisaschubert1396 11 месяцев назад +1

      You can eat it with (sweet) mustard but only if you eat the pretzel with Weißwurst

      I like Coleman's Mustard on these.

  • @rowanbathurst
    @rowanbathurst 11 месяцев назад +61

    What an amazing video!! Thank you Beryl! After Anthony Bourdain passed, I found it hard to watch anything food related because it didn't feel as genuine or explorative. You have reassured me (and prob a lot of others) that amazing food television IS HERE

    • @Lucysmom26
      @Lucysmom26 11 месяцев назад +3

      I don't hate Action Bronson's RUclips channel for discovering new NYC restaurants/food but this video from Beryl was great. It's interesting how little information there can be out there on social media, via google etc., when it comes to discovering things that aren't simply the latest hyped thing/whatever the algorithm is favouring today.

    • @jmelande4937
      @jmelande4937 11 месяцев назад +4

      I miss Anthony Bourdain too. Not just for the food, but also how he was able to connect with diverse people over a dinner table.

  • @rcusick2465
    @rcusick2465 11 месяцев назад +51

    I loved seeing how so many cultures are represented. I feel like you could do this project all over again but with street food/food trucks only and still never run out of ideas. As a New York Jew, what really blew me away is how many of these covered deli food included the New York Jewish experience, from the bagel to the to-go cup, even Zabar's! And just in time for the New Year, too! Shana Tova (Happy New Year!) 🥰

  • @telomeke3157
    @telomeke3157 11 месяцев назад +32

    This was honestly one of the most interesting, enlightening and fascinating videos I've ever seen on RUclips. It's not just food appreciation but also cultural history and urban history all mixed in. What a ride! I enjoyed every minute and can't wait to go to NYC and experience all this. Thanks so much Beryl! I love all your food videos but this one really stands out from the rest because of all the extra work (including extensive research) that must have gone into it. I'm guessing that it must have taken months to put together! 🤩 A fascinating watch and I've learnt so many new things (about food and also about NYC, one of my favorite cities in the world, _as well as_ the people of this amazing city). This video is a gem and I'll be coming back to re-watch it again and again for the content - and will definitely be recommending it to my foodie and travel enthusiast friends as well! 💖

  • @TanjaHermann
    @TanjaHermann 11 месяцев назад +23

    This was wildly entertaining. Thank you! Would love to see more of these, maybe as a collab for different cities or countries? What's funny is that the black & white soft cookie shown at Zabar's is known in Germany as an "Amerikaner" (an American).

    @sallycormier1383 11 месяцев назад +13

    I grew up on Long Island’s south shore and this video was a delightful trip down memory lane! My older brother used to take me into The City all the time. When I was older I took the train in with friends. I have ordered bagels & black and whites from Zabars and use the Zabars bag all the time! I remember our drug store had a soda fountain and served egg creams. We had great deli’s(German & Italian) and wonderful bakeries(German & Greek). Tell me Beryl, can you still get a pepper & egg hero in NY? That and clam rolls were a family favorite.❤

  • @SheckMulbah
    @SheckMulbah 11 месяцев назад +6

    Beryl, your video taught me so much. After immigrating here as a kid, I grew up in Harlem and now live in the Bronx. I’m so grateful that you highlighted neighborhoods like Harlem and the Bronx! I’m usually a lurker but you’ve definitely earned a like, subscriber and share!

    @thetastyword 11 месяцев назад +21

    17:56 "Maní garrapiñado" maní = peanut, garrapiñado = covered in a crunchy, brittle, syrupy glaze :) I love your videos, Beryl. I feel like I'm traveling the world through food with you by my side. And I love how you take the time and make the effort to learn about different cultures and languages, and the respect you have for them. New York has always been one of my dream destinations and I'm sure I'll finally visit it soon! I'm Panamanian with Spanish heritage (my grandparents were from Mallorca). Would love it if you could include Panama and Mallorca in a video one day! 💜

  • @branwynnemay
    @branwynnemay 11 месяцев назад +15

    Okay. I’ve honestly never wanted to visit NYC, being an intensely introverted and shy person. But Beryl… you’ve convinced me to go one day. ❤

    • @skyydancer67
      @skyydancer67 11 месяцев назад +6

      If you're that introverted, check out some of the museums and the botanical gardens with a friend. Those are two of the quietest places I can think of off the top of my head. NYC is more than just bars, restaurants and social venues.

    • @colleenfrederick9590
      @colleenfrederick9590 11 месяцев назад +4

      New york is a good place to be an introvert weirdly. There's so many people in Manhattan that you kind of walk around unnoticed and can stay entertained by yourself watching people, eating on the go. Its a place where you can be weird
      and people don't look twice at you and it's considered fine to be alone in stores and restaurants

    Beryl, I am a big fan of your channel, but gosh, you really hit it out of the park with this one! I'm originally from Manhattan (okay, once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker), but I've been living in various parts of the world for some while. Watching this episode, I learned so much more of my beloved city, and I have a whole new list of places I want to try the next time I visit. Thank you! This episode is so well researched, filmed and edited. Truly a brilliant job! Thank you!

  • @Lucysmom26
    @Lucysmom26 11 месяцев назад +10

    Great content, most interesting I've seen on this channel (as someone planning their first trip to NYC and looking forward to basically spending the entire time stuffing my face). This knowledge (i.e. from a local) is invaluable and sorely needed, imo. If I have to read one more recommendation for a rainbow bagel as some kind of 'ultimate' NYC food I'm going to scream.

    • @BerylShereshewsky
      @BerylShereshewsky  11 месяцев назад +3

      Oh yikes same tho I feel like so many of these lists online missed the heritage of nyc foods and instead focused on the plating on decor of the places there is obv room for both but I’m a good history lover soo 💜💜💜💜

    Thank you Beryl for this informative insight into NYC food history and culinary gems. Although I am Canadian I absolutely love NYC and its people. I respect that you took the time to learn how to pronounce words and names correctly. I am guessing from your name that you have Jewish heritage, but the way you pronounce "mozzarella" I have only heard Italian Americans in the same way. I speak a few languages, so I notice these details.

It was COLD in February) but I still show people the pictures of the cheesecake! It was at least 3.5” tall, covered in juicy sweet strawberries and so amazing! Worth the trip all by itself!

    Dear Beryl, just "found" your channel few days ago and I already loooooove it! ❤
    This episode is great as any other, .... BUT: Sorry to say 😉 - the " New York Soft Brezzel" is just equal to the usual bavarian "Bretzl" (as we Bavarians call it) , and so for I asume, that the NY one is just a "twin" of it.
    I highly recommend you to try a fresh, warm soft Brezzel like this: Try to cut the whole Bretzel horizontal in two half pieces (yessss! This will be a challenge! 😅 But that's the way it's ment to be for even Bavarians!) , and then put fresh, cold Butter on one side, fold the two half together again - and enjoy!
    THX so much for your really great content, your personality sharing while cooking & presenting - and thank you for you being you!
    xxx, Angela (from Bavaria/ Germany)
