A guaranteed 15 minute smile whenever we are tuned into this channel. Thanks Andrew and Nicola. Still can figure out how you both have not managed to gain a single pound while eating your way around America! You must be rushing from the restaurant to the gym because you both so fit. Also congrats on the smashing success of your channel. Reading through some of the comments has revealed a legion of fans following you from city to city and plate to plate of American deliciousness. Much love from Mila and Rich. ♥
Many Brits say American food is bad but I'm happy you guys have a full experience and see that's it's great. We didn't become the most over weight country for no reason
Omg, Brits say American food is horrible? They are the countries that conquer the world for spices but don't use spices in their cooking. Look who's judging.
Thank you for sharing your love for the lemon cookies! They were delicious and surprised us! we usually go chocolate chip all day long. Thanks for watching
@@thebritstry haven't been to NYC in years but you guys are doing awesome!!! I'm from Maryland best seafood ever, so if you guys make it there I have several suggestions!! Until then I will be watching!!! You guys are awesome!!
Never telling anyone how to eat something. I’m 62 my parents were from the city. Whenever I eat a dirty water hotdog it’s just mustard and sourkraut. That’s the way mom and dad did it.
Blackcurrant is illegal in most of the US. It was banned in 1911 by the federal government. The federal ban was lifted in 1966, but most states have kept the ban.
@@jeffhampton2767 Blackcurrant represented a threat to local plant population and are still banned if imported from certain EU nations. In some cases, special permits are needed to import black currant.
@@thebritstryYes! I had Ribena during my trip to the UK a few years ago and that was the first time my American palate had ever tasted encountered blackcurrant. I bought it simply because I thought the commercial was so weird and cool. 😅 I can get blackcurrant jam now living in New England but I’m not used to it so I rarely think of buying it.
Thanks for the advice, we did try one at Katz Deli and they were delicious. Let us know if you have a go to place to get one from next time we are in New York.
You know what would be a super fun video for you guys? Fair food! Try a state fair...Ohio's is great, Texas is huge...there are so many to choose from. Then just eat your way up and down the midway! There are tons of unique, bizarre and delicious foods to choose from at a fair!
Very happy that you tried New York cheesecake which I believe is definitely one of the best cheesecakes in the world. It has won many awards as being the best cheesecake in the world❤❤
Thanks guys for memory lane ..As a kid growing up in 70's street food in New york was pretzel hotdogs and Italian ice in summer sugar coated cashew end of story your here at right time ! Because I wouldn't eat street in new york in 60's 70's growing to save my life !
Great idea! NYC has great street food. If you’re still in the area, check out some of the food festivals in NYC like JapanFes, Dragon Fes, Queens Night Market, etc.
Loved your street food adventure. The thing about street food is that it's wrapped up in those papers for a reason. If the fork wasn't getting it done then I would have picked up that cheesecake by the paper and taking healthy bites of it. I love cheesecake
Oh New York! To know it is to love it with the hustle and bustle, noise and all the people. We love catching the train from Pennsylvania to New York and just having a great time. So much to see, do snd and eat. Have you heard of the chop cheese sandwich? Or soul food in Harlem( Sylvia’s or Melba’s) or whatever food you have a taste for…. Enjoy!😊
Thank you for sharing! New York really is a city like no other, full of energy and endless possibilities! We have not heard of the chop cheese sandwich, we will definitely have to check that next time
Once again, another great video. You guys have the BEST reaction videos. I just LOVE you guys. Please continue with the great content. Always thrilled to see a new video posted.
What was your favorite nyc food day? Bagels? Street food? You taking a boat tour around Manhattan, seeing broadway show, seeing a museum, or going up 30 rock or empire state blg while there?
This goes back to the comment I left on your Chicago Hot Dog Video, how everyone has their own way of doing a hot dog, and people will go up in arms and fight for their hot dog toppings.😂 100% should have waited in line, it's 100% worth the wait.(THAT'S 200%!!!) Maybe next time though!
When I first moved to NYC I had been away from the region for a couple of years in Pittsburgh where everything is kind of in its own zone and sub-neighborhood. So on my first day of work I asked my new colleagues 'Where are the food places around here?' because in Pittsburgh everything was grouped together. My lovely colleague leaned over conspiratorially and in a stage whisper heard by everyone she said simply, "Outside, dear. We keep our restaurants and food carts outside here." I still laugh at that because I grew up in the NYC suburbs and commuted to work here for over a decade, I just had been in Pittsburgh mode. And yes, she's absolutely right. When you want to find great food options, just go outside and wander a bit. You'll find several, day or night.
I make a dessert top with creme brule and do it by heating sugar on the stove until it melts and turns brown liquid. Pour it on the dessert while still hot to crystalized on the dessert.
I LOVE cheesecake and all of it's varieties. But to me nothing beats the original, with the tiny hint of lemon zest. It's just enough to cut through the richness. The crepes look amazing too. I have an idea. Have you both ever been to an American sport match? Like the Yankees for instance. You'd have a ball sampling all of the food there. Most of the vendors are regional and they have their own twist on classics like hot dogs, desserts and nachos. Just a thought :) Thanks for a great video, Andrew and Nicola. You're the best!
New Yorker/Long Islander here. I've always called them 'dirty water dogs' and they are a must have if you're in the city. Getting one from a random street cart is something I crave on a regular basis. If you're still in the city, you guys should head down to Brighton Beach aka Little Odessa. It's an area full of Russian Jewish immigrants and the food there is just amazing. I've always lived in areas that have a large Jewish population. Though I'm not Jewish myself, Jewish cuisine is always my go to for some of the best comfort food. Whenever I'm sick, I head to the kosher deli up the road for soup, stuffed cabbage, stuffed derma, and tons of other delicious 'warm you from the inside out' food.
Thanks to the tip, we have now left New York and we are back on the west coast. However we are sure we will be going back to New York. Thanks for the tips. 😀
Street food would be street vendors on the street. But there are a lot of restaurants with street store shops that are incredible. Thank you for recognizing them. NYC has some of the best food in the world! I'm from New Jersey and we have great food there too.
Staten Island. Denino's Pizzeria and Tavern. Lees Tavern, Nonna's Pizza for great family friendly pizza and italian food... Ralphs Italian Ices Port Richmond location ONLY... It's across from denino's and pairing them together is a must. Pizza and fried calamari at denino's and dessert of the best itallian ices, cream ices and homemade ice cream at Ralphs of Port Richmond. It's simple classic food elevated by the pairing of the 2. Native staten Islanders have been doing this since 1935
Thank you for sharing your love for the food scene in Staten Island. It's always wonderful to hear about classic spots like Denino's and Ralph's! We will have to head there next time we are in town.
@@mikeymutual5489 I think inviting them to have some of the best award winning food in NYS is enough. You sound like you must be close to me, why don't you stop by and choke down some of this fine hillbilly food we gots down here in the southern most part of NYC. Maybe i'll teach you something.
PLEASE go to Niagara Falls/Buffalo next!!!! The food is amazing & you can try sweet pizza, wings from The Original Anchor Bar (where they originated) & Beef on Wicks!!! ❤❤❤ I know there has to be some Bills Fans here, cheer them on to western NY!!! ❤❤❤
My favorite Halal truck is usually parked outside Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, like maybe just a block north of the hospital entrance on Fort Washginton. They have very good falafel sandwiches that I get with extra white sauce. Sometimes I have them add the hot red sauce, though it's pretty hot. A block south of the hospital and across the street is a Sabrett hot dog vendor. She's been there forever. And she does her dogs really well. If you're exiting the hospital there are a lot of good street food choices.
I’ve heard of a couple of street food places in New York. One is called the big gay ice cream truck (I’m not kidding it exists) and the papusa lady in queens. I’ve also heard that red hook in Brooklyn is a good spot by the soccer fields. The street food tends to vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. Flushing has a lot of street eats based around classic Chinese food not usually available in the states. Red hook is mostly Latin with Caribbean sometimes. It’s not all hot dogs, falafel, and pretzels. Try the Chinatown ice cream factory too. You also may like tasty noodle in Chinatown where the angle is. That whole angle was painted with murals and stuff to honor Chinatown’s past including Corky Lee who helped photograph most of what Chinatown was. Chinatown has a rough history but it’s a lot better now at least in some places.
You need to go to the outlying boroughs, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, for more examples. In Queens - Astoria for Asian food, in Brooklyn- various areas including Midwood for DiFara's pizza and Coney Island for Nathan's hot dogs/french fries and the Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx which is like Italy.
Thank you for watching, We would love to do that next time! We wish we had more time there on this next trip! let us know if there are any places you would recommend?
To Brits Try, I would rely on Mikey Chen's recommendations as to outer borough options and other NYC influencer experts as I have not lived in the city since the late 80's. At this point, I would rely on them too.
I ordered Levain cookies at the height of the pandemic because it was one of the few places shipping. I thought their cookies are overly sweet and I've had cookies with an even better texture elsewhere. I'd prefer the Levain chocolate chip cookie if they used dark chocolate, less sugar, and if it was slightly more chewy in the center. Think they're wildly overrated. The Sabrett hot dog is amazing I agree. It's a true NY classic. The Halal food is sublime. I think the white sauce really sets it off. I don't know if it's yogurt on top. One Halal guy told me it was mayonnaise made more liquidy by adding vinegar. But I can't say that's universal. I don't know. I do like this channel. Good personalities. Good job.
New to your channel and now I'm binge watching 😂 I watched you eat hot dogs in Chicago and as a New Yorker I was dying to see if you tried one in New York. I must know which style you enjoy the most, Chicago or New York? If you return, you must go to Gray's Papaya you can still get a hot dog for $1. Try their fruit juices and a hot dog with the onion sauce, sauerkraut, and spicy mustard. Or go to Coney Island or Nathan's for a good hot dog.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! We really appreciate it! Thank you.. we have just upload some of our New York video's ruclips.net/video/snyKKgomPpM/видео.html and have Our New York Pizza video uploading this afternoon.
SO glad to see Billy still going strong at his hot dog stand after all these years now. He's such an integral part of the community, it's not even funny.
You should head to Orlando down here in Florida. There isn’t that much left in the northeast corridor except maybe Boston. Anyway Orlando is really growing up as a food destination. We have been getting immigrants from everywhere that bring their food in. It’s quite a nice mix. We also have our own Florida native cuisine that is getting great reviews. We even have one star restaurants on the guide down here. Things have changed from theme park food to really good food that you can’t miss.
That doesn't appear to be traditional New York cheesecake. NY cheesecake tends to be dense and very rich. A small sliver is plenty. Junior's is a good example.
If I could, I would live off of street food! I know you guys are a food channel but have you ever considered making videos of what you get to see in these places you visit? I would be curious to see what you think of America coming from a UK perspective.
The United States is like 50 countries in one. You cannot go to New York City or Los Angeles or Miami and then judge All of America. Where I live for instance in Pennsylvania mountains it's 99% Caucasian and we have virtually no crime. We have Wilderness and Wildlife and fresh air and clean water this is a big difference from New York City which is only a little over 100 miles away
@@jeffhampton2767 sharing their perspective wouldn’t be stating facts. They’ve traveled more around the US than I have and I’ve been here my whole life. Doesn’t mean their opinions would mean more than mine but that’s the point, is to share perspectives. You live with 99% Caucasian doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want your opinion on Mexican food. It’s just opinions and not that deep.
You should get the recipe for cheesecake off the side of a Philadelphia brand cream cheese box. That's really the best cheesecake I've ever had. I get the recipe off of it, then use a cheaper brand of cream cheese lol.
Not a cheesecake fan but man those cookies!Falafels are weird to me too,also Hummus.Only really like curried chickpeas.You could look for Soul Food,it is very similar to what you had in The South,also Puerto Rican or other Caribbean foods.Also any South American Food.
It's great to hear about your food preferences! Those cookies were amazing! especially the Lemon one. There's a wide world of flavors out there to explore.
Hot dogs and sausages are two different things. An American would never call a hot dog a sausage even though they are similar foods. A sausage is fat, plump and wide while a hot dog is not.
I've gotten into the bad habit of watching your videos when it's too late for me to eat. I've got to start watching them before I eat or I'm going to end up gaining back all the weight I've recently lost.
I thought it was blueberry, guys! Personally I would have gone with something more tart than blueberry, to cut through the richness of the cheesecake. Like strawberry or raspberry!
@@thebritstry Glad you would like to try Puerto Rican food. I recommend "The Feakin Rican". The food is excellent and authentic. The other recommendation is "Casa Adela" it's an old family owned restaurant, that is cash only. The have been satisfying customers since 1972.
@@thebritstry yikes my apologies, thought the crepe was the last stop. Just watched, glad you liked it. Usually the falafel balls aren’t the best from the carts. Kinda gotta hit up indoor venues for good quality falafel. But I can assure you, wouldn’t have been any different at Abel’s lol
Halal actually has a brick and mortar now though I’m not sure where but I do know it’s in manhattan. Same food just different setting. That cart has never left that corner by Rockefeller for eons and is there night and day. It’s what cabbies eat on breaks to fuel up and get people back on the road. Actually there’s a secret trick if you spot the line for halal simply use the other side as it’s reserved for cabbies and nobody cares. It’s a trick that nobody uses because they don’t know about it. That side is always empty anyway.
@@thebritstry Staten Island is my home and has some great food. Take the ferry, go to port richmond and try Denino's pizza and tavern. You'll wait 45 minutes but it is well worth it. try any pizza they aren't like most ny pies. The fried calamari was my mom's go to for good reason. Everything on the menu is awesome and they've been around since 1935. so has Ralph's Italian Ices across the street where they make homemade italian ices, cream ices and ice cream. Going to denino's then ralph's is a classic date night for born n raised staten islanders and has been for decades. Stop by Duffy's bar for staten island's best burger. Have some great domenican food. Turkish, indian,.... Then take the ferry back, stop by downtown manhattan at McSorley's Old alehouse. the oldest irish bar in america and have a pint and one of their world class burgers
@@ChickadeeBird There was a fungus that grew on it that killed pine trees. At the time timber was critical to the US economy. Since then, it's now treatable, but we never really developed a taste for them.

Blackcurrant is illegal in most of the US. It was banned in 1911 by the federal government. The federal ban was lifted in 1966, but most states have kept the ban.
Why
@@jeffhampton2767 Blackcurrant represented a threat to local plant population and are still banned if imported from certain EU nations. In some cases, special permits are needed to import black currant.
Wow we never knew this.
@@jeffhampton2767 The plant harbors a fungus that spreads easily to some commercially important tree species in the US, such as white pine.
@@thebritstryYes! I had Ribena during my trip to the UK a few years ago and that was the first time my American palate had ever tasted encountered blackcurrant. I bought it simply because I thought the commercial was so weird and cool. 😅 I can get blackcurrant jam now living in New England but I’m not used to it so I rarely think of buying it.
A black and white cookie is an iconic NYC food item.

I used to eat at the British Tea Room in Manhattan. The Shepard's pie was the best.

To Brits Try, I would rely on Mikey Chen's recommendations as to outer borough options and other NYC influencer experts as I have not lived in the city since the late 80's. At this point, I would rely on them too.
The best Halal cart mix is rice, chicken, lamb, salad, white sauce, ketchup, and a splash of hot sauce.
Thanks for sharing your favorite mix! It's always great to hear what others enjoy.
If you mean green sauce instead of ketchup, you would be right.
I ordered Levain cookies at the height of the pandemic because it was one of the few places shipping. I thought their cookies are overly sweet and I've had cookies with an even better texture elsewhere. I'd prefer the Levain chocolate chip cookie if they used dark chocolate, less sugar, and if it was slightly more chewy in the center. Think they're wildly overrated. The Sabrett hot dog is amazing I agree. It's a true NY classic. The Halal food is sublime. I think the white sauce really sets it off. I don't know if it's yogurt on top. One Halal guy told me it was mayonnaise made more liquidy by adding vinegar. But I can't say that's universal. I don't know. I do like this channel. Good personalities. Good job.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Levain cookies and the other food items! It's great to hear your feedback. Thanks for watching
New to your channel and now I'm binge watching 😂 I watched you eat hot dogs in Chicago and as a New Yorker I was dying to see if you tried one in New York. I must know which style you enjoy the most, Chicago or New York? If you return, you must go to Gray's Papaya you can still get a hot dog for $1. Try their fruit juices and a hot dog with the onion sauce, sauerkraut, and spicy mustard. Or go to Coney Island or Nathan's for a good hot dog.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! We really appreciate it! Thank you.. we have just upload some of our New York video's ruclips.net/video/snyKKgomPpM/видео.html and have Our New York Pizza video uploading this afternoon.
SO glad to see Billy still going strong at his hot dog stand after all these years now. He's such an integral part of the community, it's not even funny.
What a really nice guy!! and for $2 that hot dog was delicious
Not all halal carts are created equal on nyc streets, there are bad ones but fortunately you found a good one
Try the oxtail mac patty at Datz's Deli. It's a more recent creation, but it's a smash hit.
That sounds delicious! We love Oxtail! we'll definitely have to give it a try next time we are in New York.
They say in NYC you can go to a different food place every night for 20 years or more and never eat at the same place twice
We can believe that! Thank you for watching
Y’all should really try Magnolia Bakery for their amazing banana pudding.
You should head to Orlando down here in Florida. There isn’t that much left in the northeast corridor except maybe Boston. Anyway Orlando is really growing up as a food destination. We have been getting immigrants from everywhere that bring their food in. It’s quite a nice mix. We also have our own Florida native cuisine that is getting great reviews. We even have one star restaurants on the guide down here. Things have changed from theme park food to really good food that you can’t miss.
Heyyy Baltimore Md has the best seafood in the country!!!
juniors in brooklyn is the most famous ny cheesecake for decades
I love a good cheesecake 😋👏❤️
Juniors Cheesecake is the quintessential NY cheesecake .
That doesn't appear to be traditional New York cheesecake. NY cheesecake tends to be dense and very rich. A small sliver is plenty. Junior's is a good example.
Thank you for your insight on traditional New York cheesecake! It was delicious but doesn't sound like it was traditional.
If I could, I would live off of street food! I know you guys are a food channel but have you ever considered making videos of what you get to see in these places you visit? I would be curious to see what you think of America coming from a UK perspective.
The United States is like 50 countries in one. You cannot go to New York City or Los Angeles or Miami and then judge All of America. Where I live for instance in Pennsylvania mountains it's 99% Caucasian and we have virtually no crime. We have Wilderness and Wildlife and fresh air and clean water this is a big difference from New York City which is only a little over 100 miles away
@@jeffhampton2767 sharing their perspective wouldn’t be stating facts. They’ve traveled more around the US than I have and I’ve been here my whole life. Doesn’t mean their opinions would mean more than mine but that’s the point, is to share perspectives. You live with 99% Caucasian doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want your opinion on Mexican food. It’s just opinions and not that deep.
Thank you for suggesting this! We appreciate your interest in our channel and we'll work on incorporating more travel content for you.
You should get the recipe for cheesecake off the side of a Philadelphia brand cream cheese box. That's really the best cheesecake I've ever had. I get the recipe off of it, then use a cheaper brand of cream cheese lol.
Thanks for the tip! I've heard great things about that recipe-I'll definitely check it out!
Not a cheesecake fan but man those cookies!Falafels are weird to me too,also Hummus.Only really like curried chickpeas.You could look for Soul Food,it is very similar to what you had in The South,also Puerto Rican or other Caribbean foods.Also any South American Food.
It's great to hear about your food preferences! Those cookies were amazing! especially the Lemon one. There's a wide world of flavors out there to explore.
Hot dogs and sausages are two different things. An American would never call a hot dog a sausage even though they are similar foods. A sausage is fat, plump and wide while a hot dog is not.
A hot dog is still a sausage though. It's just culinary fact. We don't call them sausages but that doesn't mean they're not sausages.
Hot dogs ARE sausages!
Thanks for pointing out the distinction between hot dogs and sausages!
I've gotten into the bad habit of watching your videos when it's too late for me to eat. I've got to start watching them before I eat or I'm going to end up gaining back all the weight I've recently lost.
Hey, Sorry! Maybe try prepping some healthy snacks to enjoy while watching next time. Keep up the good work!
You need to go to Coney Island. And in NY you missed Katz's deli.
Thanks for the tips! here is our Katz's deli video ruclips.net/video/EborR8oUCtg/видео.html
You should try the food carts in Jackson Heights/Woodside Queens
Thanks for the advice! Next time we are in the area we will, are there any you would recommend?
@@thebritstry No, They are all very good and there are a variety of ethnic foods/neighborhoods as you move along the Avenue
I thought it was blueberry, guys!
Personally I would have gone with something more tart than blueberry, to cut through the richness of the cheesecake. Like strawberry or raspberry!
To me, Blackberry is much closer to Currents. Wild blueberries have a more tart finish.
Wow, never thought about it that way! Thanks for the insight.
The prices are expensive because NYC rents are insane for these businesses
But everything looked good and delicious
Dont forget that food costs more too due to how difficult it is to ship in the amounts required for a city that large.
@@nullakjg767 More like the price of gas driving up the cost to ship.
@@catherinelw9365 fuel is in fact part of cost of shipping, along with labor and equipment maintenance.
You should have did a food truck tour.
Great Idea! next time we will give that a try. Thanks for watching
You didn’t go to little Italy while in chinatown
The Cheesecake looks delicious 😋
It was!😀
A line is a good thing. The locals know where the good food is. You should try soul food. I'm biased but, you should try Puerto Rican food.
Trying new cuisines is always a great idea! Thanks for the recommendation! Let us now if you have places to recommend?
@@thebritstry Glad you would like to try Puerto Rican food. I recommend "The Feakin Rican". The food is excellent and authentic. The other recommendation is "Casa Adela" it's an old family owned restaurant, that is cash only. The have been satisfying customers since 1972.
It all looks really good. I haven`t been to NY since i was a teenager in the late 70`s. Think it`s changed much?
It’s changed a lot.
$6 per cookie better be awesome! 😂
MMM...a New York street Dawg! Yummy.
So good and so cheap! It was delicious! and Thank you for watching,
Billy's is Good Get him almost everytime i go into NYC
So good and so cheap! He was a really nice guy!
@@thebritstry Yeah he's been around for years....
Those cookies almost looked like scones
You gotta try NY style pizza!!! Its awesome!!
Thank you for watching, The video is in the works!
Ok. Is nyc street hotdog better than the superdawg chicago dog or alternatively better value?
Any Halal cart is as good as Abel’s. If you haven’t left yet, it’s worth trying just a random one. It’ll likely be as good, if not better than Abel’s
We did! it was at the end of the video!
@@thebritstry yikes my apologies, thought the crepe was the last stop. Just watched, glad you liked it. Usually the falafel balls aren’t the best from the carts. Kinda gotta hit up indoor venues for good quality falafel. But I can assure you, wouldn’t have been any different at Abel’s lol
I love lemon too❤
I love lemon 😋👏❤️
That lemon cookie was Amazing!! it is rare we would choose anything over chocolate but that lemon cookie was outstanding!
The BEST cheesecake is Juniors...
We will have to try it when we go back. Thanks for the recommendation!😀
Halal actually has a brick and mortar now though I’m not sure where but I do know it’s in manhattan. Same food just different setting. That cart has never left that corner by Rockefeller for eons and is there night and day. It’s what cabbies eat on breaks to fuel up and get people back on the road. Actually there’s a secret trick if you spot the line for halal simply use the other side as it’s reserved for cabbies and nobody cares. It’s a trick that nobody uses because they don’t know about it. That side is always empty anyway.
Lol the random people in the background. I'm surprised you guys didn't witness anyone going to jail..it's New York after all
Thanks for watching
Eileen's is the star in NYC. Junior's is the tourist trap. That's my opinion, living in NYC for 54 years. It may not be the most popular one.
Thank you for sharing your insight after all those years in NYC! Eileen's was delicious
Halal food truck orange rice with chicken the best
waiting for the pizza video… u have try our 🍕
Lol!! IT'S in the Works!!!! Thank you for watching
Got to get a cannoli from Ferrara's
Thank you for the advice! next time we will
*New Sub here!* 😎
Thanks for subbing!
Do brits call all cookies, biscuits or just some of them?
Queens has great street food
We would love to visit Queens next time! Let us know if there is anywhere we should try? Thanks for watching
If you guys were on Mulberry st you had better have hit little italy. Some of the worlds best food is on that street.
Where would you recommend for our next visit?
@@thebritstry Staten Island is my home and has some great food. Take the ferry, go to port richmond and try Denino's pizza and tavern. You'll wait 45 minutes but it is well worth it. try any pizza they aren't like most ny pies. The fried calamari was my mom's go to for good reason. Everything on the menu is awesome and they've been around since 1935. so has Ralph's Italian Ices across the street where they make homemade italian ices, cream ices and ice cream. Going to denino's then ralph's is a classic date night for born n raised staten islanders and has been for decades. Stop by Duffy's bar for staten island's best burger. Have some great domenican food. Turkish, indian,.... Then take the ferry back, stop by downtown manhattan at McSorley's Old alehouse. the oldest irish bar in america and have a pint and one of their world class burgers
@@thebritstry Don't bother with Little Italy. It is all fake now, and Italians don't even own many of the businesses there anymore.
You won't find black currant in the US since the plant used to be banned.
interesting! why?
@@ChickadeeBird There was a fungus that grew on it that killed pine trees. At the time timber was critical to the US economy. Since then, it's now treatable, but we never really developed a taste for them.
@@IanFitzgerald interesting, thanks for the information!
