This was so much fun Jon! Thank you for showcasing part of our rich and diverse culture and thank you for having me! 🇬🇾 🇺🇸 ❤️ Everyone needs to visit Little Guyana!
Hey Tonya The hand mixture that you have shown at around 6:30 is identical to the one my grandma used to mix cooked dal (lentils) at our home. She was from Bihar, India. I am curious to know whether there is any connection between Bihar and Ghana?? It would be interesting to know. Please reply.
Guyana, Trinidad, and Suriname have awesome cuisines. I actually prefer their versions of Indian and Chinese cuisines to those from the mother countries.
My best friend’s family is actually Guyanese and they always have Chinese-Guyanese food all the time, as well as curry, salt fish, as well as Metemgee whenever I come over. So watching this video, definitely reminds me of her
Started watching you for your tips on Puerto Rico only a few days ago. Here you are embracing Guyanese cuisine and the neighborhood I hold dear to my heart. Thank you for being open minded and showing Liberty Avenue to your audience! As an American-born Guyanese girl whose family left Queens for LI twenty years ago, I will always stop by to Little Guyana bakery and Sybil’s to get my fix every once in a while ❤️🇬🇾
Little Guyana is my favorite place! All my family and friends are there, it reminds me of Guyana itself. Love it! It’s nice to know that other people are enjoying our culture!
Most of the stuff you came across, the Indians in Jamaica and others make and eat regularly. We are all so similar throughout the Caribbean and Guyana is the cousin we constantly make sure is in the room.
Colin Yapp....... I would hardly describe Guyanese food as comparitive with every other Caribbean country. And I am a Trinbagonian who has lived in Richmond Hill, Queens many years ago. Their chow mein/ lo mein and Chinese food has its own distinctive flavours and technique and they are the only folks who have the chicken foot snacks and the pepper pots and casserip they are known for. Their chicken pies are way diffrent to Jamaican patties. And finally, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname are the true roti and paratas kings of the Caribbean. All three use the same method to cook curries.
@@carolking8835 Well you have your opinion, I also said similar because I have many Guyanese friends and while it is not the same, it is not so vastly different that you cannot see that they share similar lineage.
@@ColinYapp ...... And you are certainly entitled to your opinion. FYI, I have Guyanese friends, in-laws and family so I definitely know what I am talking about.
well iam puertorican and i love my culture and food but i had the pleasure of visiting GUYANA SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE I DID ENJOY THEIIR CULTURE AND FOOD AND THE PEOPLE IN GEORGE TOWN AT THE TIME CHEDDIE JAGAN WAS THE PRESIDENTI ARRIVED AT TIMEHRI INTERNATIONAL WITH MY EX GIRL FRIEND WHO RECENTLY PASST ON GOD BLESSS HER SOUL THANK YOU
Lol. Jon's reaction to Pepper sauce was hilarious. Never take Caribbean pepper 🌶 for granted. Waiting for the Trini food tour. Tonya did a great job of showcasing Caribbean NY culture.
Tanya is a sweetheart. Very nice video of the Guyanese neighborhood. I used to have a Guyanese woman that worked for me for many years. She was so nice and always talked so nice!
When I was a kid a family from Trinidad lived across the street they used to invite me for dinner, I still remember the dish - chicken, rice, carrots, peas it was very good and very flavorful
Ahhhhh super excited you came by my neighorhood! Been watching your videos for a long time and never thought this area would make it in your videos, this makes me really happy ! Glad you enjoyed the Guyanese dishes!
I always learn so much in your videos and this time I learned even more! Mr Barr you are an excellent representative and guide of the city. Thank you for all you do.
Shout out to you and your Dad. I was born there too. I lived a lot of places there. But for the most part, I lived on Robb Street. By Borda Market and then by the Cricket Ground.

That is really interesting that Guyana is the only English speaking country in South America. I would have thought that the entire continent spoke a mixture of French and Spanish without any English. I feel like my mouth is burning just from watching the hot sauce in the video. I can't stand to eat anything spicy as it just makes me want to drink tons of water to get rid of the burn. That roti potato curry looks good! That peanut punch looks amazing! I love everything peanut butter, so I would definitely try that someday if I got the chance.
I'm from the Caribbean, I live in Louisiana and really miss the food back home and fresh coconut water, wish I could get one of those restaurants here..
Guyanese people love to party too. I used to hang out with a Guyanese brother back in the 90's and we would go to his family parties and they would be partying all night man. 😂
0:06 "We'll be exploring a little Guyana, hardly known to most New Yorkers..." Correction: Hardly known to most (usually white) transplants typically living in Manhattan.
I'm surprised that it wasn't explicitly mentioned that there's a large Indian descent presence in Guyana, hence the curry, roti, sari, etc. Also definitely check out some of the desserts like cassava pone.
Thank you for sharing Jon and Tonya. I use to live over there by Lefferts Bldv. in the 90's. I use to shop around there. I also use to go to the Sybil's on Liberty Ave. Now I go to the one on Hillside Ave. I hope ya feeling aright with that pepper.🥵 Take care you two. And God bless.🤗🙏🏽🙇🏽♀️❤️
Obviously you are not going to try everything in one video but you did well,fantastic area and food ,the Guyanese,Trinidadian and Punjabis rejuvenated the neighbourhood.Hopefully you can visit again.
One part to show of Richmond Hill that is nice are the lovely large houses near Forest Park at its northern border. Richmond Hill is a nice place to explore and great to introduce us to the cuisines there.
You need to try chicken curry/ curry chicken with roti, chicken fri rice, next option is doubles with everything in it, and wash it down with a mauby drink
Wow I loved watching this! Tonya was a wonderful co-host and the foods looked amazing! Sure would like to try that potato curry and peanut punch! Thanks guys 👍😊👍😋❤️

THANK YOU for joining me on this tour and opening up the eyes of many to Guyana's rich culture and place in NYC!
Facts great collab 🔥
I know not guyanese but they do serve it i think? Doubles. Miss that.
Hey Tonya
The hand mixture that you have shown at around 6:30 is identical to the one my grandma used to mix cooked dal (lentils) at our home. She was from Bihar, India. I am curious to know whether there is any connection between Bihar and Ghana?? It would be interesting to know. Please reply.
@@aakashs30mki Actually there is! Most Guyanese people of Indian descent come from either Bihar or Uttar Pradesh
I was in Queens NY yesterday I went too little Guyana I had to support my country people's 💯❤🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
🇬🇾 shoutout the all the Guyanese out there.
Grew up in Cypress Hills. Shout to my Guyanese friends!
My dad was born in Georgetown
Wham
🤜🏾
Me de de love it
Goodness, the food portions at those places look enormous! That noodle dish from The Hibiscus is amazing.
For $10, insane.
That’s just Guyana portions for you bro😆
Lo Mein
Actionkid is boring.
@@RS-jh2kl don’t disrespect the general like that
Guyana, Trinidad, and Suriname have awesome cuisines. I actually prefer their versions of Indian and Chinese cuisines to those from the mother countries.
In Mauritius we have the mix too. We also have dhal puri!
@@karishmab1629 Nice!
@@karishmab1629 dhal puri!!!
You should also try chana puri, it's delicious
#Facts
Me too I’m from Guyana but I prefer our curry and food than the ones from India
I gained 5lbs just by watching
Don't worry Cash, a few 6-floor apt. walk up tours will burn it right off 😂
Drink some peanut punch. Weight gainer right there.
Guyanese food will do that to you lol
jajajajajajajjajajaja
x2
My mother was best friends with a Guyanese lady in the 80s. She taught my mother how to make roti from scratch. 😋💯
It's always nice to see people experiencing my country's culture; especially the food. 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Yesss ukrrr
I hate guyanese food it's too sicy
Am guyanese btw

I love my Guyanese peeps! As a Bolivian in Queens. I grew up around Guyanese folks and they always took care of me. Especially the moms :)

@@ColinYapp ...... Says the man who obviously has to put the woman in her place for having an opinion that he does not like. So typical.
Ι'm seriously thinking visiting NYC again and staying in Queens for as long as I can.
I could think of FAR worse decisions to make
I can't believe that's the first time you had Guyanese food! Check out Utica & Easter parkway in Brooklyn for more food!
Didn’t know there were spots outside Queens. Any particular place you recommend there, particularly vegetarian food?
I actually don't like that spot
Sybils in Richmond hill is the best. Palm court is okay too. Tropical fantasy..
Singh’s! One of our longtime favorites. Great roti and doubles here
We moved from Brooklyn to South Richmond Hill and we’re originally from the Philippines. We love it here!! 🇬🇾🇺🇸

Man NYC food is next level dude!
NYC is it's own planet.
When I was a kid a family from Trinidad lived across the street they used to invite me for dinner, I still remember the dish - chicken, rice, carrots, peas it was very good and very flavorful
Pelau is the name of the dish. Very tasty here in Trinidad,you can add any types of meat to it and coconut milk.
Sybil’s is a must! Great choice on the chicken patty. Love their pepper pot too
Didn't even know that there is Little Guyana in Queens. Definitely gonna take a trip there
It's the only Guyanese community in the US, I'm pretty sure.
That's the biggest tortilla this Mexican has ever saw. Loved this video! There's a whole different country on every block in NYC. How terrific! :)
Love, love this video, so educational.Guyana sounds like a beautiful place 😍Definitely on my to do list for NYC adventures
Visit the country too....🇬🇾😃
Ahhhhh super excited you came by my neighorhood! Been watching your videos for a long time and never thought this area would make it in your videos, this makes me really happy ! Glad you enjoyed the Guyanese dishes!
So cool!
Very Good! I enjoyed this video. Nice job Tonya 😁
Thanks so much! ❤️
I don't think there's any other TH-camr that goes in depth of different NYC neighborhoods. Keep it up. I enjoyed this tour of Richmond Hill!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for showcasing all of these hidden gems! ✨
Any time!!
That's right out motto is One people, One nation, One destiny 🇬🇾❤️
I love Guyanese culture love from a Jamaican 🇯🇲💋
This was fun to watch & very informative. Thanks as always.
Tanya running away was the best part! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello my fellow Guyanese my dad was born in Georgetown Guyana is a underrated county !

Lol 😂 when I say to people that I’m half Ghanaian 🇬🇭 they think I’m Guyanese 🇬🇾 !!! 😅
Dude! I'm so jealous of all the food from so many different cultures you get try
It’s kind of overwhelming not gonna lie
this is sooo cool, i didnt know so much about their culture. thanks for this informative and enjoyable video
Your welcome 🙏🏻
Proud Guyanese here.
Pepperpot on Christmas is a must.
:)
Guyanese people don’t get a lot of recognition like this. Shout out to my girl for bringing attention to our food and people
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Watching you for a while and never thought you would come by my neighborhood! Great video!
Why not it’s great
Great video!! These neighborhood videos are the best! So informative.
Best kept secret for sure. I even go here for Trinbagonian food 🇹🇹. Roti shops galore 🙂
Exactly. I tried to tell him lol 🤣
It’s cool seeing the places I walk through everyday in a video
You found the “El Dorado” 👍👍
That is really interesting that Guyana is the only English speaking country in South America. I would have thought that the entire continent spoke a mixture of French and Spanish without any English.

Remember eating Surinamese food here a while back! The food was great, but sadly the spot closed
Yes, I saw your guide!
Well done and enteertaining!
so interesting never even heard of this country kepp the content coming
I am Guyanese ,so basically were located in continent of south america , next to Brazil and suriname
I have a passion of nyc, thank you so much for sharing your journey ☺
I miss my home city so much... Thank you for showing me what I am missing!!! :)
The first black woman to be elected to Congress was Guyanese-American Shirley Chisholm.
she is from Barbados
she's American born, by Guyanese father nd Barbadian mother
Good collaboration chemistry between you and Tonya.
I'm from the Caribbean, I live in Louisiana and really miss the food back home and fresh coconut water, wish I could get one of those restaurants here..
All the love from INDIA ♡
Thanks for sharing,nice to see little Guyana,,from Canada
Guyanese people love to party too. I used to hang out with a Guyanese brother back in the 90's and we would go to his family parties and they would be partying all night man. 😂
Best-est video ever.
Love to see more like this.
When tanya ran away while eating the vegetarian potato curry with roti was sooo epic...
Guyanese Chinese food is awesome - we love jerk lamb lo mein!
Oh man I want to go back for that rum. $10 and they gave us a DOUBLE shot i'm sure of it.
Thanks, Jon. Now I want to know more about Guyana. Gonna have to do a study.
great neighborhood,great restaurants and local shops,historical train station
awesome video sir
Watching this video makes me feel proud to be a Guyanese 🇬🇾.
there are lots of vegan spots in NYC, and it keeps on growing every year, you should make a video with all these places
So glad you went to Sybils so good
0:06 "We'll be exploring a little Guyana, hardly known to most New Yorkers..."
Correction: Hardly known to most (usually white) transplants typically living in Manhattan.
Lmfao I didn’t wanna say it
Ngl everytime I'm in Queens I am always gaining weight cause the food is so freaking good 👍

Pouring coke on the 15 year old el dorado rum should be illegal.

Would love to see something like this.
Showcasing different country food.
Nice showcasing Indo Guyanese culture, 💕 everything about them 😍
Great showcase, great food and awesome video! Kudos to you both!
Sweet! Sunday coffee and Mr. Barr! I associate Guyana with a major tragedy.....Jim Jones. Thanks for this real insight to the people and food.
Oh yes, they're so much more than that. A really vibrant culture.
@@HereBeBarr Just for those who don't know, those were not our people in that tragedy.
The patties look so good
Thank you for showing my food. I wish I could get to Queens often.
I’m still waiting on a Haitian 🇭🇹 episode 😩 but a big fan all the spices.
I think you will be waiting a very long time.
👌🏿
Yesssss.... 🇭🇹🇭🇹

And Guyanese women are some of the most beautiful I've seen in the world!!!

Nice tour of one of favorite places. Try the fish cakes and potato balls next time.
Guyana is our name ! 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Let's concluded here, with all the misunderstood of the name. I think they should change the name and make it formally "Guyana"
Guyanese are some of the most hospitable people on the planet. In fact, if you visit their home, they always offer you something to eat and drink.
Richmond Hill / Little Guyana is well known to actual New Yorkers. Maybe it's little known to transplants that stay in Manhattan, Williamsburg or LIC.
Or tourists
Wow I loved watching this! Tonya was a wonderful co-host and the foods looked amazing! Sure would like to try that potato curry and peanut punch! Thanks guys 👍😊👍😋❤️
