Dude, I think you might be on to something. From one New Yorker to another. This video was pure gold. You can just make vids on eating and reviewing hot dogs/foods around weird characters around NY while making fun of what's around you. This was very entertaining.
@@NYCHotDogStands It working for you brother. Like I said I think you're on to something here. This was good. Great eats and comic relief in NY. The best of both worlds. What's not to love?
30secs in, I hit the sub. Chris, you've got a natural talent of saying things in a calming voice, when often some of these things are heavy and bitter. The second you started discussing the math, it blew up my mind. I aspire to be a restaurant owner some day, and that portion of your video really fascinated me. Please have more videos coming in!
Been watching your videos for about a month now really enjoying them you deserve 100k+ subs keep on grinding just wanted to send you some love from North Carolina. I really enjoy your videos they are practical and very chilled out. You’re not going for the crazy $50 hotdog or just showing us the most expensive/most likely to go viral food. Your giving us a realistic look at if you come to New York here’s the best options on a regular budget to have an amazing time. I’ve been to New York twice and really enjoyed all of the good street food I was able to find. I’m coming back in May and I want to find at least 1 of the spots you’ve gone to and try it. I love me a chili dog with onions but when I go to your spot I gotta get the ole sauerkraut mustard and onion🔥🔥
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for your efforts taking us throughout NYC. I see Sabrett on almost every cart. I am curious have you done a side by side comparison of the other popular brands? Nathans, etc.....Thanks
Everyone likes to compare food that you get in public versus what you get at the grocery store. People will pay that amount of money, which is why it cost that much. You expect to pay more in New York City than you do in any other city in America excluding Vegas. It’s market price
Great video, Chris! I thought you were going to pounce an Shifty, he really wanted that camera! That Bratwurst looked amazing, I haven't had one since Frankfurt in '92.🤩
I’ve been going here for at least 20yrs during winter. It’s mostly nostalgia and the kids enjoy it. Like you said it’s mainly to get advertising for the shops unless you sell gnocchi alla vodka I guess
Very Good Chris. I Thought Sure That Guy Was Going To Run Off With Your Camera, You Should Have A Sticker On Your Camera That Says SMILE YOUR ON CANDID CAMERA.
I've gone in twice already mostly to take pics for tourists by the tree. I love the brat stand and the Portuguese egg tart place! You can't go wrong with a crepe. I won't do the strawberry and chocolate thing. I'm not fond of that combo and the price doesn't justify the small cup of strawberries. There's the famous one at borough market in London. Larger cup and cheaper. Years ago I talked to someone who rented a stall and I want to say the rent was $10k/month. Some of the food places are really popular with crazy lines like the raclette sandwich. When people talk about where to go, I keep sending people to the Portuguese egg tarts. OMG no chewing allowed got a decent amount of money from me this year. My nieces really like it. Still trying to find good hot chocolate. Lol I was tempted to get pickles but that was crazy busy too.
I appreciate this breakdown. As someone who is looking to do this market the actual market is only until Jan 4th not March. So they are running for only 3 months I believe the rink and all that stays till March which is part of the winter village. Unsure if the food vendors stay longer, but I do not believe so. But I agree a lot of it is brand awareness/advertising.
Gnocchi ala vodka costs $10 at their brick & mortar shop on 9th St between 1st/2nd Ave Manhattan. It's been trending on social media, hence the long line.
Hmm.... 6:50 Might be Luigi unmasked before the shooting. I'm calling the 9-11 tip line ! Anyways..I think your 4 months estimate is actually 2 months. Meaning NO ONE is making any $$ except the landlord collecting the 40k. Anyways...I enjoy your videos ! :)
@@NYCHotDogStands Man, that guy twitchin' was just salivating to run off with the camera. I know you were just waiting to tackle the guy. Never a dull moment in NY let me tell you.
I usually have the same thought process when I walk by an empty hotel. My conclusion is always “how the hell is this even worth it?” . It just doesn’t add up haha.
I was thinking of opening a little stall in Bryant park where I can sell porcelain masks. But now I see what racket it is I will go elsewhere to pursue my passion. Poland maybe.
Drogheria Fine,on Fairmont street in Montreal sells 6$ gnocchi box with grated cheese. Americains, sadly to say are being ripped-off when it come to food prices.
Saw another video. It cost about 25K for a booth + 10% of your revenue. Pretty crazy. It all depends on the size of the booth. The revenue requirement is crazy.
@@NYCHotDogStands Not sure if it 25K + the 10% revenue or either/or option. Wish I could find that video again. But it does say this in the agreement contract when getting a booth - Vendor rental agreements will be issued as the greater of "base rent" or a minimum of 15% of net sales, whichever is greater. Vendors will be required to submit daily sales via. a third party software approved by Urbanspace.
No. Our Chris doesn't work on Wall Street with those liars and cheats!!! 😲 He has a nice, respectable job running numbers and collecting protection racket dues for the mafia. 🫠
but in such a high traffic spot in our city 44 sandwiches for a day seems like nothing. as a side note also when you see people walking through they might be doing what my friends and me do at the bryant park winter village-- walking through doing the rounds to decide what we want before stopping at a vendor
it's a weird economy ..like food delivery services ..they loose money now with the belief it will be a money maker later ..idk ..resturants are tough ..it's gonna snow and loss of days there ..but the location is key ..it's a perma carnival
I don't believe people are coming back for it. You can set up a booth at any holiday themed place and people will pay what ever to get food. Could be horrible could be amazing people will pay at a place like that
You should return on a regular basis to see if the gnocchi shop is still getting the busnbusiness. If anyone else is picking up. Sad to say therws always winners and losers and the best places dont always win
The numbers were geared more towards how much they have to sell JUST to pay the lease off. Then you have to add all the other expenses on to that. But Yes, some stands are killing it.
In this video he is talking and walking in BRYANT PARK, on 42nd Street looking at these different booths, and because it's cloudy,with the threat of storms coming in, most people are opting out,and just going home, but when it comes to street festivals, food related, it's actually very expensive, for example they want 3 bucks for a hotdog, and some crazy number for a burger, so I in all probability won't go, because they are all just TOURIST TRAPS,and as a NEW YORKER, to see is to believe it,and I am not going to fall for a GIMIC,or a absolute Joke,not worth the time, energy, or the commute time, not withstanding the money spent on things that I can make myself at home, besides the sun starts going down at 3:30,and at 4 PM, it's already dark, the days are very short in the winter months, which is a given fact.
Camera too far from you, gonna get snagged. But great video. 👍🏼 (But what if profit is not the goal, money laundering???. 40k to laundry money is sweet deal. )

Excellent informative video!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Chris subscribed about 2 months ago. Love the food content and also just watching you cruise around the city.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Chris - if you look at your graphic at 2:33 the stalls are only open until Jan 2nd, not March, so even less time to sell.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for your efforts taking us throughout NYC. I see Sabrett on almost every cart. I am curious have you done a side by side comparison of the other popular brands? Nathans, etc.....Thanks
Thanks. Very informative video. I laughed so hard at the “Good Luck” about the electricity.
Great camera placement, and the sound is great as well. It really seems like you have a dedicated film crew. Great job!
Thanks for noticing!
15$ for the Gnocchi is absolutely an rip off.
The Bratwurst looked perfect.
Cheers Dan

I remember you going to that bratwurst place last year. You said the girls were wonderful. Great video Chris !!
Very Good Chris. I Thought Sure That Guy Was Going To Run Off With Your Camera, You Should Have A Sticker On Your Camera That Says SMILE YOUR ON CANDID CAMERA.
Thanks for the vids all year. Did you dress up as a hot dog for halloween?
He should dress up as a saurkraut.
Awesome video. You should do an interview series on the economics of having a small food stall or cart.
Looks nice! If I get up there while it's still going on (unlikely), I will definitely check it out.

But on this one would’ve liked to see you try the gnocchi alla vodka and tell us if you think it’s worth $15
Like the commentary about Bryant street market. I agree 15 dollars a bit much .But it’s an experience.agree owning business is not easy.

NO WAYYYY!! 10% of revenue is the STUPIDEST thing you can agree to. Thats all green.

I'd never think that gnocchi could be popular.
You wanted that guy to grab your camera lol
So badly...

It’s a good location, it’s not that difficult for them to get 22 customers per day. Some they’ll get way more to cover the days it snows or rains.
I love the Winter Village. I go every year.
Now imagine if Napoleon Dynamite was to try to run off with the camera?
it's a weird economy ..like food delivery services ..they loose money now with the belief it will be a money maker later ..idk ..resturants are tough ..it's gonna snow and loss of days there ..but the location is key ..it's a perma carnival
Whoa $12 for a bratwurst. Crazy times.
5€ in Germany at the Christmasmarket.
All bells and whistles. In the end it’s just a fancy hotdog.
It's more like 300-400 orders per day that they average, not 22
22K has to be for the gift shops. 40K is definitely the food vendors. Can't knock the hustle on the Gnocchi. They cashing in on them like and stories
Love the hustle.
@@NYCHotDogStands All Day!
That goof guy was pretty nosey
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is that yours? Well it’s definitely not yours so what does it matter 😂
Chris, you're rugged up in a winter coat watching outdoor ice skating. While I'm in Australia sweltering through 95°f, 35°c heat 😂
Vodka sauce is a scam. 🤣✌
those booths are doing 100+ dishes per day
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🤣😂😂
22 customers in 8 hours? Are they not going way over that number? After watching further. They clearly are 😂
The math was just to show how much you need to sell just to pay the $10k rental per month.
If you can't sell at least 44 of something a day in Bryant Park you definitely don't have the right product.
Remember. It's PER day for 4 months straight.
@@NYCHotDogStands No I get that. But I dont think Im wrong. If you cant sell enough then you dont have the right product.. or pricing.
Shucks, I'm only 2nd again.
I don't believe people are coming back for it. You can set up a booth at any holiday themed place and people will pay what ever to get food. Could be horrible could be amazing people will pay at a place like that
You should return on a regular basis to see if the gnocchi shop is still getting the busnbusiness. If anyone else is picking up. Sad to say therws always winners and losers and the best places dont always win
I think you’re way off on what they’re actually selling. Lines are wrapped around the park for many of these stands for 4-6 total hours in prime time.
The numbers were geared more towards how much they have to sell JUST to pay the lease off. Then you have to add all the other expenses on to that. But Yes, some stands are killing it.
