They Shrunk My Burger - How Much? The burgers here look like they have been shrunk, Much smaller than they used to be. So, it begs the question, America, New York are no longer famous for their burgers. #americanburgers #howmuch #newyork #newyorkcity

In the US, the average wage in 2024 is 50% higher than in the UK. In 2008, the average UK wage was the same as the US. That and the exchage rate (which has been destroyed by Brexit) is why it seems so expensive to us over there.

@ianm2170 21 день назад

You know as well as I do that if you want a belly-busting burger without incurring an overdraft, you'd better get out of Manhattan, and probably all of NYC, come to that Darren.

I was surprised to see that your lemonade was made by Fentimans - founded by Thomas Fentiman in Cleckheaton and still family owned. Maybe that was quite expensive ? Looking forward to these NYC vlogs. x

@Marcel_Audubon 17 дней назад

the burger and fries looked good, apple pie isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they have other types and they look like they know how to bake a pie! ... regarding price, that meal would probably be nowhere near as expensive at most diners, however you are in Midtown Manhattan and high prices are just something you can't get around there (but you knew that before you came, I reckon). Also, stay away from those artisan lemonades if you're looking to keep the bill down haha!

@annemarieelton2069 21 день назад

Hello there Darren, the Big Apple ( Pie) We all think that we know about New York, well most of the USA. Let's face it, we have been fed it almost daily, The television has shown us our virtual make believe " real life." America 😂 Re the size of your burger, maybe the locals have been informed about the dangers of the full fat double size meals 🤔Or make smaller things, charging more. In fact less bangs for the dollar 💲💵😉Have to be honest, that's what I would call a bloomin great looking Apple Pie. I felt the enamel on my teeth started to melt 😁😬🤗 Even with the sugar rush, loved your not quite a senior moment 🤔. Keep searching for the best burger and share the hunt with us. Allan&Family

Hi dj, Mrs sandwich and I got married in manhattan in 2014 (we’re from the uk). It was a great week; all our wedding photos were in front of the Brooklyn bridge. We’ve not been back since but I can’t wait to go again. Great city. Maybe we’ll get some tips from you on where to eat!

You are looking well mate! Have you lost weight? Hope you have a great time in New York, for me it was a dream destination and when I finally went I was really disappointed so got on a train and went to Boston instead where I had a much better time!

@laurencorbett5175 22 дня назад

I was in Brooklyn last November. If you want a more budget food day, find a trader joes (think whole foods but a bit cheaper) and get a meal from the takeaway hot counter to have in your hotel. They do some lovely options even for a vegan like me lol

Also want to find a good corned beef bagel place to compare to our very own Brick Lane beigels. Enjoy your trip. You are right - u r on holiday - normal miserable life can wait till u get back.

@mikebryan7060 21 день назад

Good review. Food looked ok. Price wise, itnis what it is i suppose. Maybe try Old John's Diner whilst you are in NYC.

@richardgelber2740 21 день назад

Old John's! I've been eating there since 1975 (including the original location on Broadway).

@747jono 22 дня назад

Not been to New York since 1978 so obviously prices have gone up lol. Lets remember it was never going to be cheap its one of the most expensive cities in the world but one of the greatest like London ❤.

@chilunliu 22 дня назад

When I'm in New York, i tend to eat in Queens or Brooklyn as you can get better value for money, its pricey but its the equivalent of eating at a restaurant in Leicester Square so sounds about right

@user-th1dj7xn4h 22 дня назад

I have never paid that much for a burger. Wow, i hope you enjoyed your meal.

@NorskInjustis 20 дней назад

Perhaps a little research would be in order! New York has some great burger sites, for sure. There is a guy, Hamburger America is the diner, hyped but probably better than the one you had.

@jonathanbowles2577 22 дня назад

Good Evening DJ. I hope that you had a Good Nights sleep and Re-coup. I was very Impressed by the Brooklyn Diner. I really liked the American 1950's style Decor and eating booths around the Restaurant. I thought your Burger looked very Well cooked and with a Generous portion of Chips to go with your Burger. Your Apple Pie and Ice-Cream with that Lovely sweet sauce drizzle over, the Perfect Desert for You DJ, a Handsome Gentleman in New York. Glad you Enjoyed your meal DJ. Thank you for Sharing your video.

@cumberlandquiltchic1 22 дня назад

Welcome to America. You will pay more, get less, and be happy! 🙃 Good exchange rate! When I last went to england and scotland, the exchange was double- NOT in my favor.

@DrFrankLondon 22 дня назад

These days you can still eat absolutely amazing food in New York of course, but the prices had gone through the roof. They shrunk the burgers and charge more, unfortunately. Went there in February for work, we went out to a fairly local place, had a burger, 4 beers and some fries among the two of us, we paid 129$ not including tip, which is 30%. Glad work is paying for my expenses when on travels. Have a fab stay in the Big Apple, DJ and enjoy the fantastic food. 😊

@pauljennings8432 22 дня назад

They don't do burgers but a really good place to go is Crepes on Columbus, please vlog there you won't be disappointed.... Also George Motz burgers you might like a burger there too but it gets really busy and a curry place down Bricklane (yes there is one in NYC) where they deliver your food by a robot.

@Dunstire 22 дня назад

I've never been to the States but i'm buggered if i'd pay that much for a cheese burger,fries and piece of pie no matter how good it was.I too thought that in America portions were huge and prices were low.Apparently not

Hi Darren, it looked a nice Cheeseburger 🍔 but small, like you said. Wow, £45 but I suppose it was the Brooklyn Diner and across from the famous Carnegie Hall. 🎉 Your Apple pie and ice cream looked Fantastic. America is famous isn't it, for their Apple pie 🎉 was your Rose Lemonade nice. Thankyou Darren for this video. Have you got Jetlag at the moment

Hi Darren, hope you have a brilliant time in NYC. I was really curious to ask since I know you love a curry, would you be going to visit the brick lane curry house? I think this is what it’s called, the one with the phall challenge! Always want to try this! Best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So disappointing when things don’t live up to your expectations. The thing that i always found to be tough to swallow was the 20% tip so you end up having to drop a 60$ tip on a 300$ meal. Ouch. Enjoy your stay, as NYC is such an incredible city 🌆👍

@newimagepropreplicas9863 21 день назад

Never been to the US but that burger looked like a mcdonalds..hopefully you will find a place that does one of those huge burgers...have a great time in the US..😀

@jglasernyc 22 дня назад

The Beatles played Carnegie hall. If you are in the subway at 57th street, on the tiles you can see all the people that played Carnegie Hall. BTW it's 7th Ave not street, 7th street is downtown in the village. The burger is typical of those types of places. Jackson Hole in Manhattan have great burgers. If you like smash burgers go to Burger America on Houston (HOUSE Ton) and MacDougal in the village, it is run by burger scholar George Motz (who also is the chef).
