The Most Iconic NYC Foods You HAVE to Try 

Alessio is so expressive! When he loves something it's a religious experience.

I absolutely love the sheer joy on Alessio's face when he discovers a new food. You two are such an enjoyable couple to watch!

I never heard anyone say they "hated" bagels, but I'm from New York City and we LOVE them here!

I have always loved how passionate Italians are about food! They have definitely understood that food is one of lifes joys. And such a beautiful couple you are- inside and out. I wish you get your little one soon

The "stealth" movement of the water that had ice in it over to Jesse was hilarious.

"Amore you're just trying to make people think that you're 100% Italian." 🤣😂

For dim sum you need to get the "classics" such as crystal shrimp dumpling or beef rice roll or siu mai. For cheesecake you need to go to Junior's in Brooklyn. NYC is such a foodie town. It's great!

🤣🤣🤣 The PAIN on his face when you went to the FRENCH restaurant/bakery!!🤣🤣🤣

Now that's some awesome food! The bagel with the lox and stuff is classic. Pastrami on rye was one of my dad's favorites. I'm in Chicago and the best memory with my folks was waking up early on Sunday morning and going with them to the butcher, bakery and deli on Devon Ave. What a special time that was. Loved the video, 😊

For cheesecake, try Juniors or Carnegie Delis. Either can be bought online. Carnegie is my fave - simple and unique. Juniors is from Brooklyn and has a gazillion different types.

Around the corner from Katz Deli is the Tenement museum. Must do!

Your NYC adventures are inspiring and entertaining. Keep up the amazing work. Cheers!

2:33 "New York, I want to do tumaywah" - Alessio 2022. NYC is the land of many cultures. It is estimated that around 800 languages are spoken in the city, so NYC is bound to have something for everyone. And when in doubt, have a pickle. Not eating a pickle is a crime against society Alessio really showed his inner French purist with this one by being appalled by something that's croissant-like that isn't in the shape of a croissant.

Next time try The Burger Joint (it made Anthony Bourdain's list!), Gray's Papaya, Levain Bakery, and also Hop Kee on Mott Street

Wow... I'm only halfway through the video but I'm amazed that Alessio went from hating bagels to wanting to go back to the bagel, lol. New York bagels for the win! 😂🙌 Edit: Just finished watching the whole video and I'm so glad Alessio actually went back to get more bagels. Just missing the pigeons! 😂

LMFAOOOO I’m not even one minute in and she says get your eating pants on amore and he looks down to check to make sure they’re on. IM WHEEZINGGGGG

Great video quality and I really enjoyed y’alls b-roll!!!! Awesome job and thank you both for sharing your food crawl with us 🥰

It's great seeing his experiences in New York.. Reminds me of my own experiences living in and around Tokyo trying new things. Thank you for sharing.

The deep green pickles are called half-sour pickles. They have a lower acidity.If you leave it long enough in its brine, the green color fades and the acidity increases. At Breads Bakery you missed their Baguette. It won a contest sponsored by the NY French Consulate. A jury of French Boulangers and Pâtissiers named it the best in NYC. It's now the official baguette for the Consulate, through 2022 year end.

How can anyone say they don’t love bagels??

2 Suggestions: 1. Queens, corner of 71st in Queens if the Pizza place is still there, get slice of cheese pizza and ask them to throw it in the oven before you have it. 2. you guys can take the subway to Coney Island, get the Nathan's hotdog and corn on the cob there, it's really good. I grew up in NYC. :)

You guys are so entertaining, sweet, friendly etc. I can't stop smiling🤗 How fun! God Bless✌

Love his love for bagel. Newyoker in making 😅

Please please please do more food tour reviews, so much fun!

I truly enjoyed this video. I live in Australia and you just made me feel like I was on a foodie tour in NYC! Thank you. You guys are so kind and thoughtful. Thank you for paying it forward. Love and light 🐝💛🧡💛🐝

Nom Wah actually opened up a branch in Philly. Food is delicious, but it probably doesn't compare to the original. Sadly, you guys didn't order the staple dim sum stuff like the shumai or har gow. the fried shrimp balls are delicious too, but Nom Wah has the best stuffed peppers, at least in the philly branch

Thank you guys for being real with us! i really appreciate it because it saves me the time of going out of my way to try those places when I visit NYC. You two are awesome for trying these places for us 😃💙💚💛

I love my NY bagels not toasted but a NY bialy lightly toasted with cream cheese, oh my goodness! Alessio is a natural in front of the camera 😊 And really brave to stir up NY's rats with wings while he's eating!!

That was a great vlog! Thanks. The bagel looked super yum.

I love how you tease each other. And now we need your banana pudding recipe now!

Oh I just love the two of you ❤ Thank uou for the review of all the food places you visited, have noted for when I visit NY. Thank you again for an awesome video. 👌

NY bagels and Katz's Deli are on my list of places to visit. I much prefer your long format content to the shorts

As a NYer, you guys were spot on with your assessment. 1) A NYC bagel with lox and cream cheese is an absolutely transformative experience. 2) Katz's pastrami is a splurge but worth the price 3) Places like Nom Wah are overpriced hype (you're really just paying for the ambience of the street and feeling like you're on a movie set). 4) You were also right on with Magnolia's pudding - good, but totally overpriced. 5) Same with the cheesecake being overpriced and way too small! 6) dollar pizza is hit or miss but that one looked pretty bad. 7) As for Halal, that's hit or miss too, but every one ALWAYS has the red sauce that's unbearably hot! Everyone's made that mistake once of thinking it might be like regular hot sauce but just a single drop will ruin your whole meal. Great video, you've got yourself a new subscriber and fan!

LOVE WATCHING CULTURES TRY OTHER CULTURES FOOD!!!! 🥰🥰

Lived in nyc for 28 years. Worst place to diet! Never had even a mediocre meal! Every meal was delicious! Miss NYC so much! Not only for the food but for everything! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This video was amazing! Halal hot sauce is super spicy. The white sauce is amazing. Magnolia bakery banana pudding is unbelievable.

Love this episode!!! And sooo happy y’all got to have some legit dim sum!!!❤😋😋 and lol I’m Asian, but I slide food onto my plate or bowl like alessio too! Aww man to the hair in the food!! But shady Asian places are where the legit food is at😅😅 and agree with what someone else said down below earlier: it’s best to get the staples of dim sum like shumai (or shaomai), chicken feet, fried bean curd, haicao (shrimp dumplings), and whatever else that place is known for.

I enjoyed your New York food adventure so much, please do more cities.

Thank you for sharing!! This was lovely!

You make me SO happy... lol. I'll try some of these places the next time I'm in NYC

My wife and I want to go to NYC, but for completely different reasons. She wants to go to a Broadway show, I want to go to Katz Deli

Can you please try some Bodega foods like a breakfast sandwich (even better if its Jersey style with pork roll) or a chopped cheese?

You guys are so funny. Love the edits with the pigeons. Haha. That cheesecake looked so good. Bagel too.

Love you guys!! Great video enjoyed watching every second of it!

I just love you two so much. You are just so much fun and such a great couple. It’s so lovely to see Alessio and you enjoying so many different foods in NY 😊

Get a pastrami, extra bread on the side now you got two sandwiches, get a hotdog and a knish and a Dr. Brown cherry or cream can’t go wrong

You two are adorable! Thanks for the NYC food tour!

Entertaining, honest reviews and lots of fun seeing you in NYC!

New York bagels are so good. Nothing like what you buy at a store.

I knew Alessio was gonna be pissed with $.99 pizza. Obviously the banana pudding is overpriced but damn good!

Absolutely loved watching this!

That was fun to watch 😊thanks for the tour never ever been to New York. Now I know why

❤ Love this foodie tour of NYC! Should’ve gone to Veniero’s off 1st Ave for NYC cheesecake with espresso, John’s Pizzeria on Bleeker (not $1), Grey’s Papaya for hotdogs but honestly a “dirty dog” from most street vendors is great! And, Hop Kee for Chinese. 😊

I enjoyed the foodie tour very much. However, I was equally impressed by the diversity of the food choices and how much you actually mixed and matched your choices. I would become sick to be sure. I cannot eat foods like that and not get a little nauseous or a tummy ache. More power to you both!!!🌟

First time watching this channel...they are HILLARIOUS!!! Totally enjoyed this video!

If you cross the river into NJ there is a classic North Jersey deli sandwich you should try, the Sloppy Joe (has nothing to do with ground beef.) It's a double-decker sandwich on Rye bread with meat (classic choices would be ham, roast beef, or turkey. Corned Beef or Pastrami is good too.), swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Thousand Island/Russian dressing.

I like how the pigeons were there perfect timing and hyping Alessio up with the bagel.. like they were paid actors hahaa Adore you guys!!

My husband is as proud of his Jewish foods as I am proud of my Sunday sauce. 😅 He is beaming, watching you both enjoy Katz’s. ❤ The cheesecake was waaay overpriced at Breads - and they are known for their babka. Next time!

I had exact same reaction as Alessio with my first bagel and lox at Tompkin's Square. Asked myself what else I'd been missing my whole life, lol.

As an old school Born and Bred New Yorker, my two cents... - Lox and Cream Cheese = Yes, classic New York - French Toast bagel with birthday cake cream cheese. Just like your Italian husband. As a New Yorker, "No, just no" :( - Pastrami on Rye or Corned Beef on Rye from Katz's = Yes! Classic New York! :) - New York does have great Chinese food though. Woo Hop (legend) and Joe's Shanghi (newer legend) - 99 cent Pizza scares New Yorkers too - Cronut was just a trendy gimmick. Not classic New York. New York does have amazing bakeries - Magnolia Bakery just got famous because of Sex and the City, not so much because of its food. It's not a landmark for New Yorkers. It's a landmark for tourists. $5 is cheap for New York. You're paying their rent too when you go to these places. Dominique Ansel Bakery is more of a landmark for New Yorkers. - Cheesecake. Most New Yorkers eat cheesecake at a diner or local bakery. Junior's in Brooklyn is good too. $7-$9 is average. New York real estate is expensive. - New York Hot Dogs. There are Four ways. 1) From a cart with onions (it's not raw onions, It's in a light tomato/paprika sauce), 2) from a Kosher Deli (sauerkraut and mustard). 3) Nathan's, 4) Gray's Papaya. - Halal Food Cart food is not traditional New York. They just popped everywhere these days. So nice you guys gave the food to the homeless man

We will be looking forward to your banana pudding recipe vid soon!!

That was fun! Thanks for bringing us along

No potato knish or pretzel, y'all? Street cart near Penn station...

I do not eat meat anymore, but when I saw that pastrami on rye I almost died!!! My mouth is STILL watering at the thought of it!!! I find myself wondering......why did I give up meat? 😳 Thanks, guys!! 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for the great food reviews! The beautiful Pasini couple 💑 ♥

It's good to see your faces, thank you ! And bravo cicio and ragassa!

There are way better dim sum dishes than the ones tried! Siu mai, ha gow, soup dumplings, black sesame rolls, char siu bao (steamed or baked), tofu hua, steamed pork ribs, beef short ribs...and for adventurous palates there are delicious tripe dishes. For fried dishes, ham sui gok and taro dumpling. There's so many!

Guys. New Yorker here. Bagel MUST be toasted. It's even better when the cream cheese is all melty.

You guys so fun ,myself married to a European woman and kinda do the same things you do, but much older and so were not making videos just eating, enjoying the food and life together, don't stop

My mother makes the best New York Cheese Pie. She says that if you make cheesecake it's not the same. It is fantastic it is in a great sweet flaky crust with a cooked cream cheese, eggy, sweet cream filling topped with cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkled on top. She said she got the recipe for it from her Italian neighbor where grew up in Gibbstown, New Jersey almost straightacross the Delaware River from Philadelphia. I will have to get this recipe from her, she is 92 now and still spoils her 66 year old son with it.

NY Cheesecake is very expensive but true Cheesecake Lovers don't mind the price it's worth it!!! I bought my boyfriend a half of a cheesecake at Juniors in Midtown Manhattan and it was $50.00 yes for half a cheesecake but so worth it!! Juniors is world famous for their cheesecakes!!! Very creamy and delicious!!!! I'm 100% Italiano and I love cheesecake even better then Italian cheesecake!!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹

Such an adorable couple!!!

I love people who love to eat!!! You two are amazing! ❤

I am a native New Yorker, but I no longer reside there. All my family members who now live in other parts of the US always get tons of NY bagels when back in NY. Try walking on a plane with 3 dozen bagels.

When I was homeless .99 pizza wasn't so bad. The best was in Time Square picking through the garbage. Because they were always full I would just wait until a tourist would dump a full topping pizza out in the top of the garbage and be able to eat it before it touched anything funky.

Omg you lost me at Birthday Cake Cream cheese! 🥴 But i know that Everything Lox Bagel was delicious!!

Just found your channel. Very entertaining. You’ve got a new fan. Cheers.

Should have tried the soup dumplings. They're delicious.

Omg i love this channel 😂❤️❤️🤌✨

French Toast bagels with birthday cake cream cheese is SOOOOOOOO NOT a NYC thing. Next time, go to Russ and Daughters, and Yonah Schimmel which are just a few blocks form Katz. Also go to Zabars, and Barney Greengrass. You seriously missed out by not going to those places.

I love this. It's like a food travel TV show but better.

Do this in more cities. Love this

Alessio king of the pigeons 😂 you guys seem so lovely. Would love to meet y’all one day

I don't know if they're still around, but many years ago when I was a kid in NY, you used to be able to buy fresh, hot, soft pretzels at stands, a bit like hot dogs. I used to love those things!

This is a great tour! Giving thanks!

I felt the same way when I first tried a New York bagel with salmon. Blew my mind!

I love how he took a step back when he told her he liked the Magnolia banana pudding. The rent and payroll are factored in the price . We knew the cronut would stink. It looks dry.

Thumbs up to a European who remembers about tipping. Thank you!

The best Chinese food is found in flushing queens on main Street. Take the 7 train to get there. Takes about 45 mins on the subway as the 7 train is a local...so it's slow.

Love the videos! Well done guys!

@4:20 Katz delicatessen is the best. Omg how didn't I tell you about that? My grandfather's first job as a newly arrived immigrant in the 60s was at Katz. Great place too. The workers there are so cool and are locals, so they know much about the area. The pastrami sandwiches there are awesome

So exciting. What fun! So glad to watch another video. Thank you for the upload 😻 😍

Try the bagel toasted tomorrow and it will still be amazing 🤩

I love watching your channel. Y'all have so much fun together. If y'all ever make it to Louisiana, I will make you a southern banana pudding.

Not all bagels are created equal, good for you for trying them!

Try out Razza Pizza Artiginale in Jersey City and Fiore Deli of Hoboken in Hoboken. Casa Della Mozzarella Italian Deli in the Bronx is really good too. Halal street cart food is so good, glad u had some, u can get it less spicy next time

You guys are a lovely couple! Loving your content and your directness.

I just love y’all so much!❤

❤ what a beautiful couple! You transmit so much good vibes, you generate joy, you are so funny, Alessio's reactions are unique😅😅👌👌

I literally laughed outloud at Alessio when he pretended to eat the cardboard. hahahaha
