It was 1993 and I was on tour with the US Marine Band in NYC. Walking around the city and looking for breakfast. Hit up a street vendor and got a simply bagel with cream cheese. He cut the bagel and put a HUGE slab of cream cheese...at least an inch thick...between the two slices. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had....and only cost me $1.50...(roughly 1£ at the time).
$5 thats a bargain for NY DJ. Love a Brick Lane bagel with Salt beef mustard and pickle. Absolutely superb. Love a smoked salmon and cream cheese one as well.
I mean $5 for a bagel is ok if you are loan tourist. But for a family of 5 that is going to be $25 and off putting. Be better off going to a bakery buying a pack of 6 bagels, some cream cheese and it would only cost you $1 a bagel and $5 in total. That is affordable.
Hi Darren, Broad Nosh Bagels they look very nice. Especially your Jalapeno Cream Cheese one. And 5 dollars, not bad for New York 🎉 Thankyou Darren for this video
I can remember as though it was yesterday, my first cinnamon bagel on my first holiday to NYC. Unfortunately it was many years ago but some things stay in your memory forever
I love a good New York bagel. I could tell you which places to go to but in the end it doesn't matter where as they are all good! I enjoyed this video very much! OTC!
I only started liking Bagels a couple of yrs ago. I like mine toasted with cream cheese and back bacon. Jalapeño and cream cheese sounds and looks amazing.
You are absolutely right about New York bagels 🥯 Darren when you say it's the water that makes the difference...and you picked my favourite bagel..the poppy seed one.I love mine with smoked salmon and cream cheese(oh that cream cheese...so fresh and delicious 😋). Great video Darren as always...on to the next one.
Maybe it's just me being old, but with the terrible exchange rates on the pound sterling atm, even $5 for a small cream cheese bagel would put me in a bad mood, let alone the other prices in NY! Gumpy old man here!
I remember my family NY stay in 2006 near the David Letterman Theatre. The Bagel shops were amazing. Did you know they have to be up at 3am to get the bakery prepared and ready.
That bagel looked tasty Although I don’t like jalapeños Something else instead for me I think the bagels you buy in England are hard That one looked soft yummy i
Whe're about the same age, I have them scoop out the inside and then toast it. It actually tastes better that way and they'll actually put more cream cheese on it or whatever you're getting on it, and you'll live a lot longer too.
The bagel looked lovely and what food could be seen behind the seemed appealing as well. Totally agree life is very short, I like to eat out more than once on my days off, whether a chain or local business. Trying new things and getting out and about is a must for me.
DJ Around 30 years ago, i was running a small Bake of takeaway/cafe for a couple, Everything we did was from unbaked frozen dough etc, Pies pasties, rolls, sweet cakes etc, I got some samples of New York bagels in, And the owner said they wont sell, & i did agree with him at first when i baked them off, But with being a Baker by trade, A simple case of proving them like a normal yeast product transformed them into some thing like you had there ! They sold like hot cakes very quickly as nobody on the IOM had ever really had them before, So deemed a success all around, Just a footnote, The corned beef hash i had tonight with curried beans was divine !!! Lol
A bagel with cream cheese was only $2 ten years ago. I'm a New Yorker and TAL Bagels as well as Ess-A-Bagel are the best but I have never had a bad one!
"Can you get that in Marks & Spencers for a fiver?" 😂 Legend DJ, you're absolutely right mate. Please keep these food review videos coming, love watching them. OTC 📈
Not really into bagels. Can't remember when I last had one, maybe 20 years ago. I always love watching the food Darren eats in the intro. Quality nosh, always makes me drool and feel instantly famished. I've yet to see any of this New York fare that comes even close. Nah, you can keep it, America. British is best, for mine.
They do a good bagel and salt beef sandwiches in a bagel shop in Stoke Newington, North London. I love Latkes and cheesecake from the Jewish bakery where I live.
I don’t know if you have tried this Bagel shop in Fulham Road opposite Chelsea &Westminster hospital it’s called B Bagel you won’t be disappointed dj give them a try when your back in uk
Could never see the reason why you'd make a bread bun with a hole in! Googled it and its so the dough cooks evenly.Looked tasty don't think see much of them where i live in north Yorkshire! If ever in NY I'll giveone a try😃
Oh man that bagel looked lush! Deffo would scoff that without it touching the sides! Somebody commented that $5 dollars was a rip off but I reckon with the amount of filling in that bad boy it's a bargain. I'd pay that all day long! Great vid Darren, what you going to eat next? Can't wait to see!👏👏👏👍♥️
I would believe that about the water the bagels are made of. It is the same with Guinness in Ireland, it is definitely different there because of the water they use to brew it. Different places different flavours, hence it’s very hard to recreate meals and the like from holidays, the ingredients aren’t always exactly the same!
Im really enjoying your new york vlogs dj , the ridiculous negative comments i read on here are incredible if u dont like what your watching turn off and watch something else its quite simple ! I wish they'd realise nobody gives a f*** what they think , still it boosts the viewing figures😆 so theyre actually doing u a favour theyre just to dense to realise
Good choice here, looks a great place. The old wives tale stuff they talk about around the water is nonsense 😂 as it always is. But definitely agree that the chewiness of the bagel makes a big difference. 👍🏻
I cannot remember if I saw it on here, your channel or another TH-camr, but I see one of the famous bagel shops on Brick Lane in London has closed. Maybe someone can confirm that. I do love a cinnamon bagel myself with cream cheese👌
Tbh I am not a massive bagel fan but having said that I was a little disappointed in your bagel. I was looking forward to seeing an actual NY bagel but after the weird queueing system in the shop and then after seeing the bagel I thought, Is that it? Cream cheese and jalapenos! Really, I was expecting something much more exciting with more fillings that that, also what did it taste like ? you just said doughy! Anyway sorry you didnt sell me this one and can't understand why all these people queue up for it either. Tell me what I am missing ?
I just saw your comment about bagels,well it’s hard to describe bread,they have a good taste,not sweet at all,they are chewy,and very filling,I buy a dozen at a time you get 13,I wrap individually,and freeze,then defrost cut in half,and toast.I like to eat with cream cheese,lox,and red onion,or,egg salad,tuna salad,whitefish salad,scrambled eggs,cream cheese,or jam,or both,butter is good too.My favorites are sesame,or cinnamon raisin.Bagel stores carry dozens of different flavored cream cheeses,all sorts of smoked fish,a verity of meats,you just order what you like,very few people don’t like bagels.😊
Darren make you right you like eating out then do it those that say I get it here there are just cheap skates with no life or very little. Enjoy your food wherever you wish. 😊😊😊
Lots of seasoning on that bagel Nice cream cheese $5.00 for Manhattan? Price is about right. But, no coffee or tea? I would be choking! Had my raisin/cinnamon with cream cheese this past Sunday from my neighborhood bagel shop in one of the outside boroughs of NYC. It was great!!!
I’ve got an idea, why don’t you move to the Big Apple. We could have these great food vlogs for a while. So enjoying these vlogs, and I’m from New York , Brooklyn.
As US Marine for thirty years, I could never have poppy seed bagels. Story was that it would pop on a "pee test" for drugs. So we always avoided. Now that I'm retired, I can have all the poppy seeds I want. WOOHOO.
That looks like a decent bagel. About $7 CDN. Up here you can get a previously frozen dough ring that is thawed out and a glob of scream cheese for about 5 bucks CAD. I would gladly pay the 5 bucks USD for that quality bagel and cream cheese.
Ahhhhh bagels. New York bagels are boiled in water with a little salt then baked. Montreal bagels are boiled in honey and water then baked. After those two they are just bagels. Regular bagel are just baked. Then there are the "bagels" which are really dough rings and they sold in coffee shop chains and in plastic bags (dollar stores. supermarkets, etc. and frozen packages as well. The best NY and Montreal bagels are baked in a wood fire.
$5 price is fine( £3.88) for the bagel looked good and generous on the filling. How is it better than the one on Brick Lane in London? Maybe the one in London costs more. By the way, constructive criticism is ok but some will see the cost and be shocked. Maybe they don't travel much and don't eat out much either. Enjoying the content Darren you'll get comments about Thailand and the cost which is at the opposite end of the scale you'll enjoy the food I'm sure.
I don’t know why a tourist would buy a bagel with just cream cheese in it and pay that amount for it. You could just buy the bagel and the cream cheese and make it yourself in your hotel room every morning. Far cheaper and no different to what you get here. If you are a family of 5, you are spending $25 for that…it’s not good value at all.
Its like fish and chips in Whitby - so many shops anyone selling rubbish fish and chips stands no chance likewise any NY Deli doing the staples like Begels - if they do them badly they won't last the course - if something is iconic only the places selling iconic foods survive
NYC water, to the surprise of many, is actually very VERY good. Many might assume, given the general state of the city, that the water would be awful. But it regularly wins blind taste tests against some of the most expensive bottled waters on the markets. So yes....a huge part of the bagels is the water. The same can be said for the pizza crust. Just WHY is NYC pizza crust so perfect? Many think it's the water.
DJ VERY NICE GREAT REVIEW LOOK SCRUMPTIOUS..CANT WAIT FOR MORE REVIEWS GREAT JOB..ALF..

Had a bagel many times in NYC and I have to say they are the best.
Inflation over 30 years has not brought prices down...alas.
$1! Those were the days!
$5 thats a bargain for NY DJ.
Love a Brick Lane bagel with Salt beef mustard and pickle. Absolutely superb.
Love a smoked salmon and cream cheese one as well.
Darren I used to work in Brick lane every Sunday I would get salt beef n mustard , it was the best
I mean $5 for a bagel is ok if you are loan tourist.
But for a family of 5 that is going to be $25 and off putting.
Be better off going to a bakery buying a pack of 6 bagels, some cream cheese and it would only cost you $1 a bagel and $5 in total. That is affordable.
you certainly don't like criticism darren!!
Be polite, and productive and I will take it all day long
Shocked & Stunned !!!
Did you step on the scales !
Hi Darren, Broad Nosh Bagels they look very nice. Especially your Jalapeno Cream Cheese one. And 5 dollars, not bad for New York 🎉 Thankyou Darren for this video
I can remember as though it was yesterday, my first cinnamon bagel on my first holiday to NYC. Unfortunately it was many years ago but some things stay in your memory forever
Sounds great!
I would have gone for smoked salmon .
Probably double the price.
I love a good New York bagel. I could tell you which places to go to but in the end it doesn't matter where as they are all good! I enjoyed this video very much! OTC!
I love nice food, out too. But I do get the 'ump with those who take advantage and serve sub-par grub, at top prices. Cheers Darren.
I only started liking Bagels a couple of yrs ago. I like mine toasted with cream cheese and back bacon. Jalapeño and cream cheese sounds and looks amazing.
That looks really good, however a few crisps inside it would make it better. 😊👍

My favourite bagel in NYC cream cheese with scallions😍 nom nom xxx
For those that don’t know, ‘scallions’ are known as ‘spring onions’ in the U.K.
@@heli-crewhgs5285 i am from Blackpool England😃 but when in NYC they are scallions 😆
I remember my family NY stay in 2006 near the David Letterman Theatre. The Bagel shops were amazing. Did you know they have to be up at 3am to get the bakery prepared and ready.
That bagel looked tasty
Although I don’t like jalapeños
Something else instead for me
I think the bagels you buy in England are hard
That one looked soft yummy i

Cream cheese and smoked salmon...legend😋
Our ones are Beigals. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Loved it. Definitely gonna get some bagels this weekend
Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel is really nice.
Also chopped herring and chopped boiled egg bagel.
Looked great that DJ
Are you still over there?
Great video, DJ. I loved the content .I'm shocked you didn't get two😊 thanks for sharing 😊
Another top video Darren enjoy the variety of foods you review ❤
They are great but expensive!
Keep the videos coming, always enjoyable, BUT I'd love to see more of the food you eat...makes my mouth water every time lol
Garlic bagel with garlic cream cheese and lox….hmmmmm. Keeps the vampires away!
A bagel with cream cheese was only $2 ten years ago. I'm a New Yorker and TAL Bagels as well as Ess-A-Bagel are the best but I have never had a bad one!
Scallion cream chesse begal n a cup of Korwfee please.
"Can you get that in Marks & Spencers for a fiver?" 😂 Legend DJ, you're absolutely right mate. Please keep these food review videos coming, love watching them. OTC 📈
They are better toasted not as doughy; Darren.. 🥯🥯🥯
Jalapeños & cream cheese sounds delicious 🥯Great review & thanks for sharing DJ 🤗🗽
Not to me, can't stand Jalapeños 🤢
Not really into bagels. Can't remember when I last had one, maybe 20 years ago. I always love watching the food Darren eats in the intro. Quality nosh, always makes me drool and feel instantly famished. I've yet to see any of this New York fare that comes even close. Nah, you can keep it, America. British is best, for mine.
Great video again Darren well done mate
Darren, Montreal bagels great also , good review
Looked amazing!! Great review!! NYC is not cheap anymore.
Hope all is well, take care
Just down my street. Looked gorgeous! X
Good on you DJ enjoy I've never been keen on America south east Asia for me can't wait till you out there ❤
When me and my wife go to visit are son in LA they got lovely bagel shops
Great series bro. Putting up some good numbers.
They do a good bagel and salt beef sandwiches in a bagel shop in Stoke Newington, North London.
I love Latkes and cheesecake from the Jewish bakery where I live.
I don’t know if you have tried this Bagel shop in Fulham Road opposite Chelsea &Westminster hospital it’s called B Bagel you won’t be disappointed dj give them a try when your back in uk
gotta be a salt beef bagel for me ,looks like an amazing place
love your videos,really enjoying the NY places your going to eat,
Enjoying the real New York love the vids
Could never see the reason why you'd make a bread bun with a hole in! Googled it and its so the dough cooks evenly.Looked tasty don't think see much of them where i live in north Yorkshire! If ever in NY I'll giveone a try😃
That bagel looked great.
That looked fab. I was wondering if you were going to do the $ pizza. Loved to see you eat some Italian food. Maybe visit Little Italy.
Shame you didn't have a gander at the menu online before you went DJ, looks delicious.
Oh man that bagel looked lush! Deffo would scoff that without it touching the sides! Somebody commented that $5 dollars was a rip off but I reckon with the amount of filling in that bad boy it's a bargain. I'd pay that all day long!
Great vid Darren, what you going to eat next? Can't wait to see!👏👏👏👍♥️
I like a plain bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers.
I would believe that about the water the bagels are made of. It is the same with Guinness in Ireland, it is definitely different there because of the water they use to brew it. Different places different flavours, hence it’s very hard to recreate meals and the like from holidays, the ingredients aren’t always exactly the same!
I love Cream Cheese. Great video and yes if you in NY you have to have a Bagel.
Everythings are a bit too much for me but put the filling on an onion bagel I'd love it.
Another belter! Was it a game changer though Dazza?
For a first time in that very busy shop, you could have done worse. Nice video. If I ever go to NY I am eating here the whole time.
off charts as usual young man
That multiseed bagel looks amazing, that would be nice with some pastrami, mustard and salad or smoked salmon with the jalapeno cream cheese you had.
Im really enjoying your new york vlogs dj , the ridiculous negative comments i read on here are incredible if u dont like what your watching turn off and watch something else its quite simple !

I ate every bite with you Darren, looked lovely. Really enjoy your NY series. Ignore the big gobs and their opinions 🤪😁🙃
Thanks so much
Can Not stick bagels But Good Review Anyway
Looked very nice Darren . Love a good bagel ,and that did look good . ❤️🙏🏼
Good work Darren
It's not just any Bagel, it's a NYC Bagel. 😂
Great value it looks amazing
Sorry M&S bagels etc no comparison whatsoever
Brilliant vlog
I cannot remember if I saw it on here, your channel or another TH-camr, but I see one of the famous bagel shops on Brick Lane in London has closed. Maybe someone can confirm that. I do love a cinnamon bagel myself with cream cheese👌
My channel, it has reopened
@@DJsFoodTravels ok thanks for that DJ
Looked ok I prefer salt beef in a 🥯
My Aldi bagels look the same😅
😂😂
They LOOK the same, but they don't taste the same.
@LyleFrancisDelp They don't look the same or taste the same but I can get 20 of them for 5 dollars.
It always amuses me peoples different pronunciation of japaleno lol

But, no coffee or tea?
I would be choking!
Had my raisin/cinnamon with cream cheese this past Sunday from my neighborhood bagel shop in one of the outside boroughs of NYC.
It was great!!!
Murray’s bagels are the best 😜
Was it better than the legendary Brick Lane establishment!? Come on , that Salt Beef and Mustard they do, rocks.
100 x over
you need to go to Borehamwood for Bagels
Marks and Spencer which prat said. prepackaged crap or fresh food from cafes and restaurants it’s a no brainier
You must try the iconic smoked salmon (lox) and cream cheese the way they are done in NYC
I’ve got an idea, why don’t you move to the Big Apple. We could have these great food vlogs for a while. So enjoying these vlogs, and I’m from New York , Brooklyn.
He wouldn’t get a visa at his age.
Not a good idea for Darren, and your health service sucks!
As US Marine for thirty years, I could never have poppy seed bagels. Story was that it would pop on a "pee test" for drugs. So we always avoided. Now that I'm retired, I can have all the poppy seeds I want. WOOHOO.

I hope you manage to fit in New York pizza and hotdogs before the end of the holiday

Thanks again!
Salt beef mustard is the mutts nuts
Was the title meant to say best in the world as best in New York is an obvious statement since that is where they are?
My point was to explain, you can get New York bagels anywhere, but not as good as when you are there
@@DJsFoodTravelsoh ok, I gotcha. Could have just left out the New York before bagels but all good.
