    As far as Krispy Kreme original glazed you have to have it warm. When the sign is lit it means they’ve just been made and are warm. They literally melt in your mouth. Great video as usual 🍩 😊

      @Jigen_Isshiki Год назад +1

      I honestly prefer Krispy Kreme when it isn't warm. The taste is 100% better when warm, but I like the texture more when the icing isn't pure liquid.

We were offered empanadas while we waited on our Cuban’s to be made. Everything was delicious. I watched many of your videos in preparation for our trip. They were extremely valuable in helping us to plan & have a great New York experience during our visit. Thank you for all your content!! Keep up the great videos. 😀

      To be fair, I feel like AK is a tourist. Having been born and raised in miami, to hear things like “Versailles is a staple” shows he doesn’t know where the majority of the locals go. Now living in New York, I can say without a doubt there is no Cuban food as good as miami.

    Just got back from New York and below are my highlights in no particular order if it helps anyone…..
    1. Brooklyn Heights and promenade
    2. Brooklyn Botanical Garden
    3. DUMBO
    4. The Highline
    5. Little Island
    6. Joes pizza at the bottom of Times Square
    7. Central Park
    8. Summit One building
    9. Circle line night time cruise. One tip on this…..do not get in a taxi who will be waiting when you get off. They were quoting $45 to get back to Times Square. Uber was $18 and there within 10 minutes.
    We stayed just off Times Square and had a flight leaving around 9pm. We were conscious of the volume of traffic leaving the area and getting back to JFK. After a bit of research we got the subway to Forest Hills which was $2.75 each. We then got an Uber from Forest Hills to JFK which was around $28 and took around 20 minutes in rush hour.
    Another top tip, if you see a toilet use it. They can be very few and far between.
    I hope this helps someone.

The best food I had in my week there was from Zeppola Italian Bakery foe their bacon egg sandwich. $11.76 incl tax. So much so I went there twice. Watched your videos before I went and still did some touristy trap moments like Empire State building. You helped me avoid the scammy monks and the sweaty Mario and Luigis. I walked 118km in 7 days around New York. Feet hated me, but would never had seen as much as i had. Chelsea Market you suggested was amazing too.Keep up the great videos.
