Ok, the fact that you used that 💩 remake version of a classic says everything. That movie was garbage. The actors sucked. It was PC 💩 at its worst. That’s why it flopped. It was garbage. If you are going to talk about West Side Story, about the original movie. It will make you look more intelligent. If you haven’t seen the original by now then……
Boricua here🇵🇷: John: you said “Alcapurria” perfectly👍Puertorican food is great, but more when outsiders acknowledged it👏Fact: Guy Fiery, who put PR Mofongo on the top of social media best food trending, said in an recent interview: “The BEST Rice & Beans (Arroz y Habichuelas) of any Latinoamerican country, is from Puerto Rico🤷♂️So much worldwide recognition from such a little island🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm a Puerto Rican American and I was born in NYC but grew up in Orlando. The majority of my family still lives in NYC (Bronx) and I currently live in NYC right now. Thank you for this video, Puerto Ricans helped paved the way for other Hispanic and Latinos to migrate to this amazing city, it legit hurts my soul not seeing much of my fellow Puerto Ricans as I did back in the 2000s even though NYC still has the largest Puerto Rican population in a city outside of the island. I hope that one day there will be a comeback of Puerto Ricans migrating to NYC because there's so much more history and culture than ... Orlando, FL lol.
Your comment preferring NYC over Orlando, Fla. is heartwarming. There is only one part of your comment that I question is: Puerto Rican/American?? It's hard for me to agree with the label of a colonialized person and the role of the colonizer simultaneously. I was born in Manhattan & I'm proud to say that I identify as Puerto Rican. Your Puerto Rican roots identify you as a classic colonialized person. After 500 years of foreign domination what else could we be?? Don't be offended. We are all decolonializing every day. It's a process. I'm limited to just posting this comment because I don't want TH-cam eliminating my commentary. See Aaron Schlossberg's video for a prime example of our need to defend our language, culture, and history on a daily basis. HIs racist tirade went viral after he verbally attacked Mexican workers for speaking Spanish. It's very true when you say that we serve as a prime example for the other Hispanics to follow in NYC. Viva la Raza!!!!! Once again, thank you for your NYC - praising comment. Orlando, Fla doesn't compare with NYC in terms of being a socio/economic/ cultural center of the decolonialization process. Good luck, Andres. See you at Adela's Restaurant. Fast Eddie in the Bronx. 3/19/22.
No such thing as Puerto Rican American. Puerto Ricans are American citizens. And you are American of PR decent since you were born in NY. You are Puerto Rican American. That doesn’t even exist. Jesus Christ. You sound like a fool.
Oh there their you just haven't visit parts of brooklyn i forgot the neighborhood but its on the boderline between queens and Brooklyn they own neighborhood plus broadwayyy too not Manhattan Broadway brooklyn there everywere in brooklyn is wat im trying to say lol😂
I need to try Puerto Rican food! I love it! My dad is Puertorican and moved to NYC from the island in the mid 1960s. I need to go to NYC and eat at those places that you showed me on your video! Thank you so much to share your stories about Puerto Rico and its people! I love it!
Great video, I miss my New York and miss my Puerto Rico even more. I will check out those places in this video when I go up to NY in May. Thank you, be well and stay safe!
Great to hear that Essex Market sells Puerto Rico food, worth a trip from NJ, love Yucca with Pernil and Alcapurrias! No better compliment than food tasting like that made by grandma 😃👍
Good Thursday Afternoon Jon I Just Really Really Appreciate Your Contents On Different Cultures Of Food Thank You So Much For Sharing This Extraordinary Video With All Of Us Take Care With Love Always Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida Blessings
Fantastic! PR food always looks hearty and comforting 😀. A great meal to share and be well fed -👍. Thanks for finding these gems throughout the city (and the world). I’ve now acquired a taste for plantain. Thank U wife 😀
In Rochester, we have a large PR community. Unfortunately the best restaurants are in the most dangerous neighborhoods. But, in July they have a huge PR festival downtown at the AAA baseball stadium. That is fun.
I need to say it in Spanish: ¡Son geniales! ¡Me encanta verlos disfrutar la comida! ¡Qué rico todo! Jon, I.love when you pronounce the "rolling r" and Adriana corrects you🥰. Thanks so much for your videos! Los quiero mucho. Cuando quieran vengan a Buenos Aires. ¡Un abrazo!
As always great video John! I love seeing you and Adriana together (hope I spelled it right) . The food looked and no doubt tasted amazing just by her happy dance. Proud Boricua here and I love NY!
I think some viewers are confused. NYC still has a large PR population it just isnt quite as big as it used to be. Many live in Washington Heights and The Bronx along with sizeable groups of Dominicans, Cubans and others.
It’s 💩. Watch the original, it had actual talent. This one was garbage and it was Hollywoods way of trying to be work and Inclusive. It popes. The movie bombed at the box office. That’s what happens when you do PC 💩. I fast forwarded most of the movie and I was looking forward to Bernardo, Riff and Tony dying. They were annoying. The original is a masterpiece, this new one is crap. If it gets awards it’s because they are basing it on ethnicity, not actual talent.
I’m in a ldr with an American Puerto Rican man. My mother in law came to mainland in her teens but she’s very much authentic PR. They are very loud :p took me a while to figure out if they were talking or scolding/arguing hehe
Oh my gosh visiting NY next month for the first time and your videos have been awesome…. Hope to run into you both… I’m a little paranoid of new places
I'm a fanatic of mofongo! There used to be a good restaurant in Jackson Heights with the best mofongo, IMHO, but they closed down. For years I was trying to find a good mofongo to no avail. I hope your recommendation is the one I'm looking for. Thank you for sharing this video now that we are on PR celebration month!
If you’re still looking for very good Puerto Rican food, go to the north side of Williamsburg on n3 between Kent and wythe ave… Guarapo…. Very very very good… try the trifongo con pernil… you’ll thank me later…
@@donald8354 A breakfast dish from the Dominican Republic. Platanos, salami, cheese, and a fried egg. High in calories and unhealthy stuff, but delicious nonetheless
Hearing you say pernil is funny, my mother and I pronnounced it as (Per-kneel), great video showcasing PR food, my mother would be happy but also hit you with la chancla for some reason
Don't buy Goya mayoketchup! Prepare at home. Just equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup, a little Puerto Rican adobo and some mashed garlic. That's all. Adriana, tú sabes más que eso, prepáralo en tu casa.
I loved the Spielburg version of West side story but what a shame he did not set it or update ot to modern day NY...that would have been so much more interesting but still a great movie
The movie sucked and flopped because it was 💩. The original has actual talent and terrific dancers. The new version is is just on the contention of awards because Hollywood is focusing on race, not talent.
Jon, nicely done. It's a shame that a major part of New York culture is fizzling away. Your video definitely did breath some life into a cuisine that a alot of New Yorkers take for granted. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching.
Hey Bear, it pained me to know I was feets away from Casa Adela in the village🙄😂. This was an delicious video😋. Why has the Puerto Rican population reduce or is this just eateries? And if it’s population, why? Big fan, Adrianna is so sweet😎
Love the video, love the food and the places that you showed us. One thing, the definition of “lower east side” wasn’t accurate. If you are referring to Loiza in PR, the place was settle in the 16th century by Yoruba Africans that were brought to the island as slaves. That is a long way before my puertorriqueño started to immigrate to NYC.
Many puertoricans who grew up in nyc and had kids moved out of nyc simple because it sucks. Alot of the population moved down to Florida or Pennsylvania. Now all you get are islanders who really don't know jack about newyork and just came here recently.
I Been to Lechonera on 125st, food is good but he not even Puerto Rican he just says he is because the neighborhood was predominantly Puerto Rican and felt it would bring more customers and it has worked for 32 years

Glad to see Casa Adela so busy. Read they were struggling to stay open. Hope they stay around for many years to come!
Yes really heart warming indeed
DIDN'T THEY CLOSE ???

I grew up in the south Bronx
Love PR people and food 😊
Arroz con gandules is my favorite
Great video, I miss my New York and miss my Puerto Rico even more. I will check out those places in this video when I go up to NY in May. Thank you, be well and stay safe!
Thanks
Yep, you will find us at all of these places, thanks for the recommendations
Let's go!
Me and the wife are coming to NYC at the end of May. I can’t wait to try all sorts of food. I would be lost without the videos man.
As a PR living in the island, on my next trip to NYC, I know where yo go. Thanks💪🏽 hope you can come here to visit and eat some more
A lot of Puerto Ricans live here in Lebanon,PA. My neighborhood is predominantly Puerto Rican.
I never heard of Lebanon PA. Best wishes.
Great to hear that Essex Market sells Puerto Rico food, worth a trip from NJ, love Yucca with Pernil and Alcapurrias! No better compliment than food tasting like that made by grandma 😃👍
I have been to Que Chevere on Essex Market, it is fantastic. My husband is from PR and loved it as well.
Your advise videos just get better and better john..my tagged map of places to check out when I get there is getting fuller by the week 😀
Casa Adela is a classic!!
For real

NEW YORK CITY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND FOOD
Once again you have uncovered New York City eating treasures great video .great food discovery best to you and your wife
Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
Did not expect that from Essex Market, looks great!
Yes little gem down there.
The original Essex market was better. This one is corporate garbage. Doesn’t have the same homey feel as the other one.
“La Fonda Boricua” is the best. @el barrio
WOW THE FOOD LOOKS SO DELICIOUS 😋. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EXCITING TO WATCH VIDEO. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE WORK 👏👏👏👏
I believe the Orlando area now has the most Puerto Ricans outside Puerto Rico
Yes that sounds right
The story about Loisaida reminded me of the character Usnavi from 'In the Heights'.
Fantastic! PR food always looks hearty and comforting 😀. A great meal to share and be well fed -👍. Thanks for finding these gems throughout the city (and the world). I’ve now acquired a taste for plantain. Thank U wife 😀
I’m speaking of my wife😀. She is from the Island of Barbados. Picked up on a slot of different foods, spices and drinks -👍
In Rochester, we have a large PR community. Unfortunately the best restaurants are in the most dangerous neighborhoods. But, in July they have a huge PR festival downtown at the AAA baseball stadium. That is fun.

Great video..Will be visiting from Scotland in June
Casa Adela is amazing...So authentic from the food to the service!
Absolutely
I LOVE PR FOOD
Thanks Ruben!
Love Mayo Ketchup. Heinz makes it now. You can get it at most grocery stores.
Casa Adela is my favorite, the food really makes me feel like home. Que Chevere is good too.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Adela the food is great only cash love it wish it was a bigger
Yeah it could use more tables if they had space
As always great video John! I love seeing you and Adriana together (hope I spelled it right) . The food looked and no doubt tasted amazing just by her happy dance. Proud Boricua here and I love NY!

Now you got me wanting to watch that movie
I think you’d like it

Thanks so much for your effort from Yemen.👍

hahahah
No such thing as American Puerto Rican. Where the F are people getting this 💩? It’s like you’re trying to sound inclusive and woke and it’s neither.
I’ve been waiting for this one!
Very informative video I liked 👍. Tring to make a video on Halal food restaurant only .
Petition for Dominican food next 🇩🇴
🙄😴
Thanks for highlighting all these great Puerto Rican places to eat!
Thanks Michael!!
Fellow Puerto Rican 🇵🇷
You should do more of these kind of vlogs with your BEAUTIFUL wife Adriana! She adds ALOT!! ❤️ ❤️
Amazing video, I wanna try Puertican food next time in NY. ❤️ from UK 🇬🇧

De nada
If you’re still looking for very good Puerto Rican food, go to the north side of Williamsburg on n3 between Kent and wythe ave… Guarapo…. Very very very good… try the trifongo con pernil… you’ll thank me later…
where do most of the Puerto Rican population live in the US mainland if not NYC, Florida im guessing?
Floridas big
Omg i need to try the lechon, Chicharrón and pernil.
hi barr!
Hi from Puerto Rico 🔥
Love these food videos. I would like everything!
Thank you for.bringing to light our cuisine ......
Jon I will have a difficult time deciding where to eat when I visit NYC this year.
You may have missed In The Heights, but this well makes up for that Jon. I love lechòn just like I love mangù. 🇵🇷🇩🇴
What is mangu? Best wishes.
@@donald8354 A breakfast dish from the Dominican Republic. Platanos, salami, cheese, and a fried egg. High in calories and unhealthy stuff, but delicious nonetheless
Whats up brother here be barr you did it again blessings always 🙏
Go to the Bronx that's a lot of Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 restaurant ✌️

Good video Here We Barr
Definitely need visiting PUERTO RICO
Oh no, we’re leaving NYC today. Next time😎
Everything looks delicious 😋
The “cuerito” sound!!!!!!!!! 🔥 🐷

Hearing you say pernil is funny, my mother and I pronnounced it as (Per-kneel), great video showcasing PR food, my mother would be happy but also hit you with la chancla for some reason
Casa adela pastelitos are second to none ether chicken or beef so delicious
Nice ad for West Side Story.

Me gusto lo que dijiste. Buenos deseos siempre.
Dont feel bad.. I'm NYrican and still can't roll my rrrr's lol I gotta check these places out!
Nicely done, I'm hungry again. Lol.
Was looking forward to going to Essex Market to try Heros and Villains....but the have closed :( will defo check out this P R spot
Great video
Ommmmmmmmmgggggggggg, definitely going to all these places lol
Anywhere to get Mallorca in the city? That was our fav thing in PR and we knew to try it because of you!
Awesome!
I used to work on LES where Casa restaurant is and I work in
Harlem. Lol great video
Mafanga purnia lmao I'm cracking up 🤣🤣. It's plahtano right
When men presented with a plastic that has annoying knots, women saved the day.
They should make their own mayoketchup ;dishes will taste much better with it instead of the artificial flavored bottles ones
weeeepppppppaaaaaaaa que nice!!!!!
Puerto Rican food outside of The Bronx ? whaaaaaaat ?
I want to try that Lechonera Truck
Don't buy Goya mayoketchup! Prepare at home. Just equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup, a little Puerto Rican adobo and some mashed garlic. That's all. Adriana, tú sabes más que eso, prepáralo en tu casa.
where have the PRs from NYC left? not many around anymore.
A lot Orlando
I loved the Spielburg version of West side story but what a shame he did not set it or update ot to modern day NY...that would have been so much more interesting but still a great movie

The culture isn’t fizzling away, PR’s are American citizens. It’s not like in the 50’s where they just arrived to the mainland. They have merged in.
Hey Bear, it pained me to know I was feets away from Casa Adela in the village🙄😂. This was an delicious video😋. Why has the Puerto Rican population reduce or is this just eateries? And if it’s population, why? Big fan, Adrianna is so sweet😎
They are going to Florida more better climate closer to P R. Best wishes.

Amarillos no platanos
I prefer Florida over NYC because I don’t like the cold or the hustle and bustle. Best wishes.
Why there's no ads in your video?
Super. 👍
Many puertoricans who grew up in nyc and had kids moved out of nyc simple because it sucks. Alot of the population moved down to Florida or Pennsylvania. Now all you get are islanders who really don't know jack about newyork and just came here recently.
