They are struggling because the mayor has shut down their business. For every old person that died from chicken little flu, thousands in their economic prime have watched their jobs, savings, and dreams go up in smoke..masks kill business..so does Burn Loot Murder
@@mrbushlied7742180 k old folks died in a country of 350 million is a pandemic?.. . the average age was 80... thankfully Prez Trump shut down Chinese flights saving millions of lives.."party down in China Town" was the Pelosi message..the mob almost killed Rand Paul last night...BLM burn loot murder wants Biden
@@mrbushlied7742 Democrats let those old folks die ALONE in Cuomo nursing homes.. No funerals for the family either..biden says he will shut business down and force America to cower like he is doing in his basement..
We can't thank you enough for collaborating with us on this video. It was so much fun showing you our favorite NYC historic eateries which are struggling to survive. The video is amazing and we are sure that it will help these three businesses survive. We hope to show you around other struggling small businesses in the City so we can all help support them. Great video and thank you again and big kisses from Hudson too!
Elizabeth Alvarado we really appreciate the love and support. Next time you are in our neighborhood please reach out to us as we would love to meet and sign your books for you with a personalized message!
Good to see you doing something to support struggling businesses and highlight them here. It has been heartbreaking to read of so many iconic NYC spots and businesses closing ..
Omg. I am salivating. Authentic small businesses are the best. Live in Florida but I am native New Yorker. It's great to c that they r open. So sad I had to cancel my annual trip
Love your videos and the positive news I hear about NYC from you. This is my NYC that I grew up in and still love so much. I relocated from my beloved city several years ago but I still miss it. Thank you for the Karla & James rec. Great content and videos.
I moved to New York City 16 years ago and my sweetest memories are all in the East Village... Egg creams, Odessa, Veselka, Opaline, Tompkins Square Park... I'm finishing grad school in Toronto and every time I talk about how much I miss New York, I hear "I'll trade spots with you" from New Yorkers (jokingly, I hope) or how lucky I am to be in Canada. This video nearly brought me to tears - it made me want a big bowl of borscht, a cheap slice, a black n white... It reminded me that New York is my heart, that I'd rather be there in the worst of times than anywhere else in the best of times. Thanks to you, Karla, and James!
Thank you so much Pizza reviews on the go! We really appreciate the love as always and are sure these small businesses will also appreciate your support.
Thank you this was an excellent tour of these places. This video is a classic. It shows the reasons why we are not being corny, when no matter where we live now, we can say "I...Love....New York!" 😊😉😍😎😎😍 Thank you!!!
Trip Hacks DC we are so glad you enjoyed watching our collaboration with @herebebarr We hope to do more collab videos with him and hope you also enjoy watching some of our videos highlighting other unique NYC small businesses.
Lucie Medici we also highly recommend their caprese sandwich ...have you tried that at home too....it has fresh mozzarella, sundries tomatoes 🍅 , roasted peppers 🌶 and fresh basil 🌿 and balsamic vinegar and a splash of olive oil! We highlight in a video on our channel which also shows Russo’s manager making their fresh mozzarella by hand.
So we were in LES last week and went to Veselka & Veniero's. That short rib pierogie was the best! Better than the lobster one. And Veniero's is simply the very best bakery we ever experienced. Thanks for turning us on once again, to the gems of NYC!
Great point. We don’t really know much about Spanish Flu, would be a really interesting video to see how it impacted NYC . It’s not spoken about much in the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you so much for the kind words! We hope you also enjoy watching some of our RU-vid videos highlighting unique places and small independently owned businesses in NYC! Much love from NYC!
So glad to see you collaborate with Karla and James. Thanks for providing such an important video. Please support these independent mom and pops. It’s what makes NYC so special.
Went to NYC for the first time a year ago... it was a business/discover dream... I know I will love it but at that point.... Feeling a lot for all you guys, wishing you the best in this new world and hope to come visit as soon as those travel restrictions are done... Take care and stay strong!!! Better days are coming
Love these vids despite me knowing it'll be atleast a year till I can even think about coming back all the way from the UK. Thank you for all your hard work Jon!
@@jonh5941Sure, I understand, defiantly want everyone to be safe but also want all the business to survive as well. They are the heart and soul of the city.
I’m actually taking a break from classes this semester for my college so I think once I’m able to, I’m gonna come up to the city just to check out these amazing eateries, because regardless if you’re a local or a tourist....how could you come to the city but not try all the amazing foods? That’s one of the things that NYC is mainly known for. Since I have a huge sweet tooth I’m definitely gonna try Veniero’s.
Happy to see you helping lesser known RU-vidrs (BTW I was already suscribed to both James & Karla and to The Urbanist, so extra happy, as Karla would say.
I really enjoyed your video..I could taste the delicious food here in Florida. We were born and raised in Queens..but worked in NYC for over 20 years..We retired and moved to Florida.. NYC has the best food and deserts.. entertainment..Thank You..
I love your latest videos showing what NYC is like now coming out of the pandemic! My husband and I flew to NYC for the day last Saturday - visited MOMA at opening FOR FREE right now with no crowds! We had a nice late lunch enjoying the outdoor dining, and then flew home that evening. (Full disclosure - he works for an airline, so we are taking advantage to the light loads.) We hope to do it again in a couple of weeks and explore a neighborhood or two before going home. Would love to know how Arthur Ave is fairing through this.
LOVED this video and all of the little old school mom ‘n pops which are in danger if people continue to support Starbucks and Applebee’s (don’t even want to get started on my disdain for chain restaurants!) I have several of James and Karla’s books, as I LOVE anything retro NYC. I hope you will continue to showcase and support these gems! Also, don’t forget about Montes (ask for Chef Pietro) on MacDougal St. A whole video on old school Italian joints would be amazing and so much fun. Another one is John’s of 12th St. And Bamontes in Brooklyn.
Elizabeth Alvarado yes we love Monte’s and Chef Pietro and already have a video filmed highlighting John’s of 12th Street so stay tuned for it on our channel. Of course Bamonte’s is amazing too...we love the old-world vibe and their vintage telephone booths and even the no longer functioning cigarette machine.
The summer Boscht and the piegore is the same food you can buy in my beloved Krakow Poland. I wish I could visit NYC again just try the great food on your vlog..maybe I will have that opportunity next year. Please keep making these great vlogs for people like us who stuck at in their home country with only the hope these virus will pass soon.
Charles Kennedy - Seems the problem of so many restaurants in New York going out of business due to Covid went over your head. The food *is* being taken away from us
BUDDY! Great video! Glad to see you guys are still able to enjoy the big apple! Much love from Toronto, Canada! Hopefully one day I can make it down there!
Thanks for sharing these institutions! Though at just 50 years old, it’s much younger than these, Famous Cozy Soup ‘n’ Burger is a fantastic diner also at risk of closing. I’ve talked to the owner quite a bit lately, they’re really struggling. The burgers are awesome and easily 2 meals!
Thank you for this. I really enjoyed watching, I felt like I was there with you guys. I used to live in NYC years ago but I'm in LA now. NYC is special to me, I wish I can visit Right Now to support these local eateries. As soon as the travel restrictions are lifted, I'll be visiting these places you highlight in these videos. Keep up the community service PSA! I have subscribed and shared the video link!
I remember being 4 years old we grew up on 117 street in East Harlem. My father worked downtown by the Brooklyn bridge and on my birthday he would always get me the fruits and nuts cake from Vinieros but he wouldn’t tell me which one he got me until it was time to sing and take pictures but he would always bring the whole family a box of Cannolies when he would come home early on my birthday but since I grew up in a Mexican household when I first saw them I thought the were some type of candy taco dorado. I gotta go support them soon just to say thank you
I live in NYC but not near the East Village, so have not spent as much time there like I used to - and then came the pandemic! When I did meet friends from out of town, I would take them for a "V&V" - a long lunch at Veselka's and then dessert at Veniero's (stopping off at Cobblestones shop in between!). It is difficult seeing these beloved places struggling today! Veselka is most famous for their "Christmas Borsht" which is available in December through the Ukrainian Christmas holiday in early January. 😋 😋 I have had the Christmas Borsht every year for many years (as I am a NYer I have made it my duty to get there!). I am not sure what I will do this coming holiday season (December 2020) as I am isolating at home to protect my family.
I just looked at Veniero's website and they do ship via UPS. Since I can't be in NYC at the moment doesn't mean I can't support them from across the country! Only problem is I want one of EVERYTHING!!!!
In the 1970s I used to stop by Vaselka nearly every day after school before heading around the corner on St. Marks to my dad's moving company, University Movers (not around anymore) for a chocolate egg cream soda. My mom still lives in the LES and we go there every time we go to visit.
Great video as always and really enjoy watching and learning about these three videos. I f I ever visit NEW York city will check out these restaurants as there food looks really delicious. Enjoyed listening to your guest as well. Cheers as always!
Thank you so much for the great feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed listening to Karla talk about the history of these wonderful food spots. We definitely recommend visiting all three places when you are able to visit a NYC as they truly are gems and have amazing food. Much love from the East Village.
Hey Johnny, Veniero's is one of my favorite bakeries ever. New York has so many good small businesses :). Some have been hurt from the pandemic :(. You tried food from your heritage at Veselka.
Great job Jon! One of the best reviews you've done. I wished we have those places here in San Diego especially the one selling cannoli. I love Italian pastries. Take care.
@@dadcation I visit SD every year. Unfortunately, their Little Italy does not have a full scale real Italian bakery (selling pastries, cookies, cakes, etc) which is odd. They have a few cafes with a small selection of desserts. They do have more restaurants than NYC's Little Italy. Bencotto is excellent and my choice.
@@larrycj4382 You're absolutely right Larry, I've been to San Diego's Little Italy several times and no luck finding a full scale Italian bakery but the restaurants are pretty good and many. There's one authentic Italian store on India Street called Mona Lisa and it's pretty good but a little pricey. Thanks for the info Larry.
@@dadcation I LOVE visiting SD, especially the beaches north of the downtown. I would spend a Sunday walking around sunny Little Italy after Church and then having a very filling lunch at Bencotto. It is hard to be away this year! 😔
The gentleman cafe owner pin pointed it exactly. No place has what New York has. Other places have tried to mimic or better it but the diversity history and culture of ny cannot be surpassed even with its disadvantages
Philip NYC isn’t dying. All of the restaurants are full and everyone loves the outdoor dining. It’s not cold yet. We’ll worry about going indoors after Halloween. NYC is just fine!! Where do you live?
