I’d say I HOPE you know, but I think you DO know, JUST how fortunate you are to live in NYC as a fellow food maniac. My wife’s from there & all we do when we visit is EAT! Like PIGS! 😬😅✌️
Great video james. Those are some awesome night time views. 10.4 is definitely strong. We have a bisichitto beer with 9 and people dont realize 2 or 3 of those will get you tipsy fast.
Indeed, they were very small. I was doing a comparison and referring to other meatballs served at other restaurants where it seems like they just get bigger and bigger.
I've lived up the hill from DUMBO in Brooklyn Heights for many years now and, unfortunately, DUMBO has exploded into a tourist cesspool w/ overpriced food. I recommend walking a but east to Vinegar Hill and checking out some of the hidden gems in that tiny neighborhood. Or come up to BK Heights next time!
I love watching your videos, even though I won‘t be in NY anytime soon. A great inspiration to go and explore my own hometown‘s culinary world! Oh and btw, beautiful wristwatches, the Seiko and the Orient are a perfect two-watch-collection, true classics, in high regard by even the most serious watch collectors!
Thank you! Yeah, I love my watches. Even though they're nothing fancy compared to something like a Rolex or a Patek, I still love them and they're great timepieces!
@@Jamesnu That goes to show that style and class (and appreciation of nice watches) doesn‘t require Rolex or Patek. And no matter what price range is on your wrist - be it Seiko or Richard Mille - congrats on your nice work here and best wishes from Germany!
Nice spread. I usually look to find new places in DUMBO and I'll put these places on my Yelp list. I usually visit Luke's Lobster, it's a little shack right under the Brooklyn Bridge, the Lobster Rolls are pretty good. And then I usually hit up Ignazio's across the street, great slice shop.
Nice vid. I live in Thailand and am shocked at the price for noodles. Nice Thai shout-out at 4:48 🏝 6:25 Don't skip arm-day, bro. Was in DUMBO two years ago and only had lunch at Grimaldi's.
Y’all are so blessed to have such a variety of independent restaurants! It’s nothing like this where I live in TX. Chain restaurants as far as the eye can see. Everything looked absolutely delicious 😋
@@Jamesnu My situation is likely even worse. I am originally from Europe. Long ago, cruel destiny forced me to come to the usa where I've lived in North Eastern PA and near Chicago, not far from Waukegan and Libertyville. In those locations it was not too bad "foodwise"as there are large concentrations of different immigrant ethnic groups with their cuisines and they have their groceries and restaurants. Myself, I lived within the Serbian community and also hung out with Russians, Poles, Germans, Croatians and Hungarians. I am a mix of some of these ethnicities. I mostly ate Serbian food but often went to Polish restaurants and shops. BUT, the food is not the same as in the old country, because the meat and produce generally available in the usa is inferior in quality and taste in comparison to most European countries. Thus, cevapi made from american meat are not the same as those made in Serbia or Croatia from farm raised animals. But, at least, in the big cities, the so called metropolitan areas of the US, our type of food is available. But, unfortunately, many years ago, my work forced me to move to the upper northern Midwest, near the Canadian border, to one of those "fly over states"in the great plains, where i now live in a town of about 60,000. IT IS TRULY A CULINARY WAISTLAND, which is sad, because the Midwest is the grain, bread basket of the USA and even the world, being a vital agricultural area with huge farms and fields, planted with durum, corn, soy, sun flowers and other crops. But, the average locals here can't really cook and have no clue of what good food is. When you mention cheese, they think of Velveeta or American slices. (Enough said, LOL, sad, but true) I am fortunate, because I do know how to cook and bake and am able to make bread and even very nice pastries. although some ingredients needed for certain dishes are some times not available. BUT, I do miss the ethnic restaurants and markets in the city where I can get tasty things to eat, that I don't have to prepare myself, because, I confess, although I do know how to cook quiet well, I absolutely HATE to do it, and even more so, to clean up afterwards. So, yeah, when watching food review vlogs like yours, I really get very envious, when I see what's available back in civilization. I enjoy following you on your culinary journey, you are so enthusiastic about it and adorably greedy when you gobble up your food.
@@manofreddi4166 Thank you! That's a frustrating situation to be in. I feel like I take for granted sometimes all of the restaurant options around me when there are so many other places that simply don't have the variety of a big city. That's actually one of the reasons why I moved to New York, since at least in the US, it has the widest variety of food. I can definitely relate to you when it comes to cooking. As much as I love food, I would rather somebody else cook and I hate the cleanup! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support!
It's a bummer you didn’t get to go to all the places you wanted, but it's pretty satisfying you can find equally good alternatives right down the street.
Manhattan looks great, not mnamed afteer Disney-that saves you money. In Vancouver, Granville Island is under an overpass. Music can be a torture device. At Tim Horton's they played Sirius Pulse-the same 12 songs played a dozen times a day and after 6 mos...One song, once a day-should be the law!
Just had the signature noodles at Lucky Rabbit. Great flavor but the price point is way too high imo. $15-$18 is a more appropriate price pt. Probably won't be returning.
Great content as always, huge fan. Next time you’re in Dumbo, don’t come on a Monday as most things are closed. You should check out Superfine (tacos or burger and the crème brûlée), Vinegar Hill House (cast iron chicken and the chocolate cake), Burrow (for coffee), Gran Electrica (tequila and queso fundido).
Thank you! Yeah, Monday isn't the best day for restaurants. It was more of a spur of the moment trip to the neighborhood. Thanks also for the recommendations. I've been planning on checking out Vinegar Hill House sometime.
If you're feeling adventurous you can try Henry's End. It's right off the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side. They do a seasonal menu where I've tried unusual meats like Turtle, Elk, Bear, Kangaroo, etc.
Can I recommend you to go to The River Palm Terrace in NJ? It is so good. It is literally just across the GWB in Edgewater. It has steak, seafood, sushi, Italian.
Randolph is a fun place to hang out and have some good beers. The crowd is definitely youngish, but they have arcade games and plenty of other activities. I haven’t been up there, but I believe they have a rooftop as well.
Enjoyable video. Good work. The Nina food didn’t look too good, but maybe it tasted better because it was free. The book comment was too short, it needed a longer explanation about the book. And Step up your watch game. 😉
Ive just started watching your vids over holidays here. Really well done. Also, I am amazed at your giant appetite. Reminds me of me in my 20s and 30s when i could eat whatever i wanted all day and still be lean. Now i have to be bit more conservative haha. I assume with you living in NYC you must walk off alot of the calories. Come down to Wash DC - short train ride. We have alot more great restaurants these days, including the most Michelin starred restaurants in DC history! Keep up the great vids James!!!
Thank you so much! Yeah, I definitely do a lot of walking in NYC, which I really enjoy. Indeed, DC has an incredible restaurant scene. It's been a while since I've been there, but I definitely should travel again to DC sometime.
One benefit of so many restaurants being closed, is that you can plan your very next visit now. Nice compilation James. Very enjoyable and informative. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
I used to work for the mother of the guys who started VanLeeuwen, and when I asked her what her sons do for a living, she said they had an ice cream truck. I remember thinking to myself, that seems pretty loser-ish for two grown men. Fast forward 10 years and they are EVERYWHERE.
I loved seeing all the restaurants and food choices in Dumbo. There is such an energy that comes with big cities. Is your line of work in the food industry ? Thank you for the video! Happy Holidays!
I know what you mean. Big cities like NYC have an amazing energy! No, I don't work in the food industry, but I'm very passionate about it. Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays!
I wonder if you would ever consider going to Russian Tea Room or Tavern on the Green? Those have been among my fantasy restaurants... ones I will never see first hand. (Maybe they aren't even in existence any more... like the 21 Club). Patsy's is another fantasy of mine.
God Bless you man. I mean it. I've watched you're videos. I know what it is your heart seeks the most. I suffer as well. I've recently just found Christ again. After years of sin and turmoil. I'm confident that through his words, I will be delivered from evil and find that one that I am seeking. I wish you the best in you're quest as well. You'll find it. Just have faith, be patient, and ask God to help you recognize with a full heart when she arrives. And you will. Happy Holidays and Cheers from Buffalo, New York.
I love that he addresses the MUSICAL atmosphere of most of these places. That is SUCH a make-or-break deal for me (namely, the VOLUME!) and is almost _always_ overlooked by other FoodTubers. If you have to lean in or raise your voice to be heard (or hear) at your table, that’s a BIG-ass “L” for the owner/manager! I can’t count how many restaurants (especially the last 10 years or so) I’ve walked in and pulled a ‘U-ey’ b/c of too-loud music. And positively, when he specifically named the _songs_ he heard while dining (e.g., Journey & other mellow cuts) … that really IS thee most underestimated factor in dining. That’s my story and … (you get it) 🤓 🥳 *Edit: “Washroom”! MUST be Canadian, yeah? 🤷♂️😀
Yeah, music really contributes to a restaurant's atmosphere and the whole overall experience. I definitely hate music that's too loud where you can barely hear anyone speak.

Lived in NYC for 30 years and I will be back one day, whenever I feel homesick I watch your vids James, thanks for the content!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
It's been years since I've gone to the DUMBO area but you've given me several reasons to go back.
Great video!
Thank you! Yeah, it's a unique neighborhood!
Just discovered you and am loving your videos! We are heading to NY and this is really helpful. Keep it up!
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear. I hope that you enjoy your trip to NY!
Oh my goodness $7 for a SCOOP
Of ice cream what is this world we live in 😭
I know right!
All these reviews you do, you’ll be sponsored one day 😊 thanks for sharing new subscriber here

the noddles you got at 4:28 was $22?!? (Clarification)
Yeah, they were pretty expensive for noodles.
It’s not “I have went,” it’s “I have gone.”
Yes, thank you!
I appreciate you keeping the sponsored portion short and sweet.
Yeah, I kind of had to so I could fit all those other restaurants in.
I look forward to every new video you are amazing
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
I have been watching your videos for some time now. Amazing job and love your facial expressions.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
the blonde woman at the 5:57 mark lmao
I didn't even notice that until now.
She looks like someone just stuffed a hot pastrami sandwich in her mouth@f25mart
Great video james. Those are some awesome night time views. 10.4 is definitely strong. We have a bisichitto beer with 9 and people dont realize 2 or 3 of those will get you tipsy fast.
Thank you! I know what you mean. The strong flavor of hops in the beer sort of masked the taste of a higher than average alcohol content.
Keep making great content!
Thank you so much! You didn't have to do that, but I really appreciate it!
@Jamesnu need to get you to 3 Michelin Star $$$
@@NoahEats I might actually be going to a 3 star soon! But thank you once again, I really appreciate it!
For some reason those high alcohol beers really sneak up on you! We are regular drinkers but two of those 10% ABV brews will put anyone on their ass!
I know what you mean! That's partly why I only had one. Otherwise, the rest of video could've dropped a bit in quality if I had more, haha.
your voice is so calming I really enjoy your videos and recommendations around our city!
Thank you so much! That makes me happy to hear!
YUM on everything! 😋😋😋😋😋
Safe Journey!
Cholula has been dethroned. Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha!!!
It was great food indeed!
Nothing dumbo here, everything looked delicious! What a food crawl
Haha! It was definitely some good food!
2:37. Did you mean golf balls or perhaps ping pong balls even?Those sre certaintly nowhere near baseball size.
Indeed, they were very small. I was doing a comparison and referring to other meatballs served at other restaurants where it seems like they just get bigger and bigger.
Thank you for sharing some great food there in New York.😊😊
Thanks for watching!

Also did you ever go to the Parkside in Corona NY, or Il Triangolo?
Not yet. I have a very long list of restaurants to dine at.
Nice spread. I usually look to find new places in DUMBO and I'll put these places on my Yelp list. I usually visit Luke's Lobster, it's a little shack right under the Brooklyn Bridge, the Lobster Rolls are pretty good. And then I usually hit up Ignazio's across the street, great slice shop.
Those are two spots that I've still got to try. For being such a small neighborhood, DUMBO really has a good deal to offer in terms of food.
the lady at 5:58 is a hater haha
Haha!
An excellent collage of establishments that you visited and highlighted from the past. Good use of B-Roll!
Thank you! Yeah, for being such a small neighborhood, it has a good variety of food.
$22 for that dish is insane but you know the food is going to be good when there are pictures on the wall like that
Yeah, it's definitely costly, but it's actually a pretty big portion and really filled me up that day.
Not as insane as that $29 hot dog🤷♂️
Great video! You surely covered a lot of ground that day! I’m glad you enjoyed DUMBO it’s such an amazing place.
Thank you! Yeah, it's a great neighborhood that has a lot to offer in a tiny area!

Nice video went to Noksu today it's great
Thank you! Noksu looks amazing! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to try these places, thanks for the recs!!!
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy them!
Can you do Astoria next please?
Maybe. I definitely know the area well.
$22 for a small takeout? No way.

It looks like an interesting restaurant. I'll keep it in mind. Thank you for the recommendation!
Nice day for sure, James. It didn't look overly crowded at most places. For me, that's a huge win. Cheers
Cheers! Yeah, if it was the summer it would be far more crowded, but I appreciated the lack of people.
Randolph is a fun place to hang out and have some good beers. The crowd is definitely youngish, but they have arcade games and plenty of other activities. I haven’t been up there, but I believe they have a rooftop as well.
Nice! I definitely have to try it on my next visit.
James come visit Jackson heights and try Angels restaurant, Himalayan yak, Kalye Bistro or Dollar hits for meat skewers!
Thanks for the recommendations! I definitely have got to get to Jackson Heights more often!
