A real New Yorker knows you gotta go to the small unknown places
What are they?
Spunkys, Tony’s
Fish place and a pizza spot
Jorel Boston ya near the Dunkin’ Donuts great pizza
that is only 101 experienced traveler
Thank you so much for this video! We shall tell tales of Totto Ramen back in the UK for years to come. Our wait in -11 temperatures was well worth it!
Pure gold for first time NYC visitors like us. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that you stated the video at DiFara made me love it immediately. I've known Dom for over 45 years and his pizza is without question the best pizza I've ever had. I go for the sausage, pepper and onion. Add mushrooms to make it a "DiFara Special". Cash only! As for bagels, my place is Ess-a-Bagel on 1st Ave and 20th, but no knock on Absolute. Well done!!
You really got me hyped about new york food! Thank you!👌🏻✌🏻
Dániel Pócsi Happy eating!!
Cheers,
M
Joe Juniors + Essa Bagel are my absolute faves, I literally grew up in those places when I lived in Manhattan
crazytalentedkids Yes! 🥯 Essa Bagel is amazing
Off to NYC in November. Thanks for the tips Matt, great videos.
I'm so looking forward to checking out some of these places next year when I go
Everytime I watch your videos I wonder HOW you don’t have a travel tv series yet. You do such a great job from every aspect. 👏🏼
Cassandra Marie Thank you so much! I really appreciate it:)
All the best,
M
Because it’s creatively better than having an “official” TV series with suites and executives pushing content for profit.
Westlight rooftop bar atop the William Vale Hotel ..N 12th St and Wythe St in North Williamsburg, Bklyn is also recommended. Great views, great drinks.
Great guide! :)
Devour Power TV Thanks!!
What a great (and entertaining) video!
This is such a high quality, well made video.
Best pizza in NY, Louie and Ernie’s in the Bronx. And their calzones! Yum!
Deborah Hoehn Never been! Thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers,
M
My favorite seafood is at city island at the bronx.
Man I love New York. Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience.
Naveed Mustafa Glad you liked it!
Cheers,
M
Matt thank you for introducing me to diffara, the slices are enormous but the taste is fantastic 🤟🏻
Love that your stomach leads you all over the world! I am the same way. Food teaches you so much about a culture. I am have been to NYC a million times for business and find a way to eat something new and great EVERY TIME. I can't believe I've never had any of your recommendations. I think your bagel suggestion at 4:00 is going to be a MUST. Here is my tip for you for NYC. Go to Bohemian Spirit Restaurant on the Upper East Side and get the Beef Goulash with Horseradish and Potato Pancakes. It will take you right back to Prague.
camphotoslive Thanks so much for the thoughtful message! I will ABSOLUTELY make it to Bohemian Spirit next time I’m in town. Never been, but I love new places, and I love Prague:) Cheers, - M
Katz's Delicatessen was my most memorable meal in NYC and I went there both times I was in NYC.
Renee K Yeah Katz should have made this list:) My mistake.
Cheers,
M
As a New Yorker, if Katz’s was your most memorable meal in NYC, I feel bad for you. I really don’t mean that in a nasty way or as a put-down, it’s just that Katz’s is a tourist trap, it’s hasn’t been truly representative of the traditional Jewish deli since at least the 1950s when the area was still heavily Jewish and there’s just so much better (and dare I say, affordable) food in NYC.
Come back and eat better
I can get 5 chopped cheese sandwiches for the price of one pastrami sandwich.pass
@@benjaminr6153 can you tell me wheres good to get a pastrami sandwich that won't cost a fortune ?
jesuiskamila Jay &Lloyd’s Kosher Deli in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn is pretty good and, unlike Katz’s, is an actual kosher deli and in a heavily Jewish area.
I have a trip coming up to NYC three weeks, and thank you so much for informing of these places, can't wait to try them out!!
Jordan Nasser Of course! Happy eating!
Cheers,
M
Love your videos. So finely done and informative. Great humor. Try empanada mamas on the West Side.
That three-shot drink is famous Mexican drink "banderita" (Spanish for little flag) as it resembles the Mexican flag and has tequila in it. :)
This little clip was so informative indeed , a very very well done to Matt . What a lovely mannered Guy . 10 out of 10 . 🍸🍷👍🏼☕️🤓😎
Craig Poultney Thanks so much! Glad you liked the vid!
Matt subscribing to your channel is the best thing I’ve done today it’s put a huge smile on my face and I cannot wait to see your other videos please go somewhere soon and post more
Nooriya Khokha Haha thanks:) More vids coming soon:)
Top class video!
Hi there Matt, great video! Just pointing out something to you: The Cannibal is not located at 600 11th Ave, but at 111-113 E 29th Street!
Sugar cane in brooklyn! THE best dinnerplace ever.
Love it! Great reviews! So many carisma in you dude!
BANDA LIMÓN Y MIEL Thank you! Glad you liked it!
All the best,
M
I had the guac burger with sweet potatoes air fries, beet ketchup and lemonade at By Chloe. I loved it!
Josias De Peña Nice!
You should definitely try getting more food in Queens, I've been living here my whole life and Queens honestly has the best food with all the diversity too
Puspita Esha Yes. Absolutely. I’ve even been thinking about doing a vid specific to Queens. Cheers:)
-M
OMG Yes can't wait for that video!!
Puspita Esha Have a few more videos I have planned first, but hopefully I can get to it soon:)
Very true..take the # 7 train ( the UN train) and get off Roosevelt Ave for authentic Indian, Bangladesh etc foods and continue on to Main St- last stop for Chinese Foods.
Where? I live in Queens
OMG you looks like young Hugh Grant 😍❤️
Dream destination! Uggggh can't wait to visit one day!!!
Gloria Tazza It’s a great town!
Cheers,
M
very well done! thank you, excited to check some of the spots mentioned on my upcoming trip!
Cheers
Mor Mordchaev Thanks so much! Happy eating!!
Cheers,
M
Moved to NYC from LA and dont really want to go back. Dont get me wrong I do love my LA but NY has so much more to offer. I dont agree with the full list here but I'd like to add to the list Sweet Chix and The Boil. But I'm still learning about NYC and all it has to offer. Cheers!🍻
bayside, and flushing queens has some of the best never talked about places that are fast, healthy, and filling
Should have watched this before going to NYC lol
Just a reason to go back
Ditto.
Carla Taylor Ditto to you as well.
Go again.
Great guide, honestly, went to half the place on this list and they all were great
Gabriel Sevilla Mendoza So glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!
Cheers,
M
just found out this video and need to say, very well made and I really enjoy the style and editing of this video, well done Matt!
Gday luv
Come to Queens
Flushing Chimes
Astoria Jackson Heights
My favorite place in NYC
Aqua Room in Soho
Places to eat in NYC, and no mention of Katz’s. Or any other places for pastrami.
whiskeyd7 I know:) If I could go back in time, I would definitely add Katz:)
Cheers,
M
going this summer with friends and family. Can’t wait :)))))))))))
I just watch your video with my girlfriend and we can't wait to try them out!!! Especially the places in Williamsburg. Thanks for sharing
Robbie Hackett Of course! Happy eating!
Cheers,
M
Why does this man look like shaggy from scooby doo
My first impression was a mix of Hugh Grant and Conan O'Brien, but your evaluation is waaaaay better!
I don't see it
He looks like the drug dealer from Pulp Fiction...
Meghan Jones Was he freaks me out
Lol, Shaggy is portrayed by Matthew Lillard, and his name is Matt 😂
Damn, going to these spots the next time I visit New York... And will have to make sure I walk to all of them to burn off the carbs/calories...!!
Excellent video. Great job mate! You can really tell a story. Cheers.
Leon Nexus Thanks so much!
Cheers,
M
finally watched a video without tons of ad in it...amazing suggestions!
Jefrin Faruq Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Cheers,
M
Katz’s Delicatessen, wonder why he left this one off in a city known for its delis lol. Worlds best Pastrami
Far overrated.
Cut the bullshit.
Dammit now all I want is a bagel! Thanks Matt! And great video ;)
I will buy you one:)
Matt's Travel Tips l'll buy the pizza or dessert!
Conny Chan I'm jealous!!!
Go to Montreal for bagel! They are the best!
Go to Best Bagel! Similar to Absolute Bagel but with more options.
Oh my! We are definitely hungry now! We are going to check some of the places on our next trip to NYC.
DUDE THANK U!!!!!!!!! Di Fara is RARELY MENTIONED and I don't know why... glad it was there 1ST ON YOUR LIST!!!!!!
I've never seen a black (or white) person working at a chinese resulrant (In the UK), thats awesome
Best pizza in NY goes to Dani's House of Pizza in Kew Gardens, Queens. Anybody who's been there knows that the sauce is God's gift
No1 who visits or lives in NYC is going to queens for food no matter how good it is
I'm going to New York on Thursday! Super excited
Kay Kay Nicole Have a great trip!
Cheers,
M
@@MattsTravelTips Cheers!
Wonderful video! Those hand pulled noodles, pizza, and egg yolk ravioli will be getting my ass on a plane to New York from Cali ASAP!
Nice video ... next time ur here bro let me know ... will take u to some hidden pizza spots within Queens and Long Island :)
Try Sac’s in Astoria Queens it’s not exactly hidden though
No Dallas BBQ 's , No City Island...c'mon mannnn HAHAHA 💜
Malekatah Campbell exactly!!
Malekatah Campbell I ate at Dallas BBQ on my first NYC trip it was some of the best chicken I’ve had in a while
Holy Water! Yes I put everyone on to BBQS
Oh hell nah Dallas BBQs? Their drinks are solid but that's MCdonalds for bbq spots. Hometown in BK all day.
Wonderful video! Thanks a bunch for sharing. :D
Leigh Parker So glad you liked it!
Cheers,
M
Going to NYC this summer, will definitely try someone of these places!! All looks so delicious 🤤
Lauren Melissa Have a great trip! Happy eating:)
Lombardi's Pizza and Katz's Deli.
Right!
Jeep Life71 I thought the exact same thing.
It’s the oldest not the best
The Street in NYC, we all have our own favorites. There is no right or wrong answer.. Just a matter of what tastes good to you.
Lombardi's sucks and Katz's is overrated. Try Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop at 174 5th ave for pastrami on rye at a better price than Katz's...also, Sarge's Deli is another good option.
You should do one for Long Island. NYCs best friend. No one does videos like that. We got Long Beach Huntington oyster bay port Jeff and all the other really nice places out east. Just a thought, liked your video 👍🏻
What about the Bronx?
Bobby Brady but that doesn’t make Long Island a boro tho
WE WOULDNT want to be a boro...
Long Island has a mix of really good restaurants and a lot of places trying to be as good as NYC food and failing.
dude...great video. i can relate to your passion for food..lol.
im going in 2 days for my first time.
Im geeked & will try a few of these
Tom Hibbeln Glad you liked the vid! Happy eating!
Thx I live in New York never noticed these
Listen to me I'm born n raised in Brooklyn u want the best pizza no lie its called l& b pizzeria in bensenhurst bk great pizza Italian food go to Vincent's in little Italy u want Jewish kanish Kats in NYC hot dogs Newark nj its called jjs hot dog truck trust me try them.....
You got a lot of Anthony bourdain in you. It's a good thing. I'm extremely envious of pretty much every single item in this list.
Vert Anthony bourdain must roll in his grave every time so compares this guy to him
Anthony Bourdain is much more knowledgable in food, culture and vocabulary. Bourdain is a lot more poetic and specific to give you an in-depth feel of the experience instead of "the ambience is great".
@@asheen27ify ......actually, I thought the same thing, too, that he reminded me somewhat of the late Bourdain.......but if Matt continues he'll take it to another level......
This food looks absolutely amazing! Great video!
This is like a perfect movie
장수연 Thank you!!
Cheers,
M
Hugh Grant!
My thoughts exactly!!😂👍
I thought Jim Carrey! 😄
I need a hug from that bagel guy
I need a bagel from that bagel guy.
I travel to NYC 3 times a year. Can’t wait to try some of these places. ...and if you’re in the city in a couple of weeks Matt, come join us.
Dara Dalmau I used to live in NYC, but live in LA now. But have a great trip! Happy eating:)
Cheers,
M
Thank you, this was an awesome guide on where to eat in NY.
T K Glad you liked it! Happy eating:)
Cheers,
M
Spumoni Gardens is amazing !
Only their squares. Their regular pie is meh.
Everyone has different preferences obviously, just my opinion from trying multiple pizza's in NYC
El Pres would beg to differ #onebite
It's OK... Lou and Ernies in The Bronx is just as good , maybe better.
Why am I watching this when I am hungry?
FAJER 4 Hahaha. I am to torture:)
My mouths watering. I think im going tomorrow.
Nice to see a NY video that doesn't just go to the same places
Scott McGinn Thanks! Appreciate it! I get so much crap for leaving off Katz and some other mainstays, but I figured everyone already knew about those, so I went my own direction:) Glad someone appreciates it haha.
All the best,
M
Actually every Real New Yorker knows you get a bacon egg and cheese for breakfast and a chopped cheese for lunch duh
Haji’s Palace bitch leave ya block lol
Haji’s Palace nigga right
Born and bred New Yorker, WTF is a chopped cheese?
Chris C.i was thinking the same thing. Chopped cheese?
Haji’s Palace I’m not from NY , I’m actually from the south and I’ve heard of a chop cheese 😭 they looks yummmy
To me
NYC is all about the dollar slice
Big Travis Totally:)
Epic food list!! Great work! Thanks
Drew Griffin Thanks! Glad you liked it!!
Loved your video! Great job man, keep it up
Nathan Reimer Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Wait did that 1 price of pasta cost $22?!
TheNoseyProductions Right??? I definitely would have been upset with it.
couldnt agree anymore. as a native new yorker this once great city is overun by these hipsters yuppies or whatever they call themselfs. most of this shit he eats you couldnt give it to me for free. its crazy that almost all of these videos on advised of what to do in nyc are from assholes from butthole nebraska and places like that. i can tell you there are thousand of places in nyc to eat that are great and wont bust your wallet and you dont have to wait all day but i wont because they will invade and fuck it all up.
It’s lost on you. Go eat at the Applebees in Time Square or grab a hot dog. These chefs prepare entrees with the highest level ingredients that are local and fresh and you bitch about it. These hipsters bought and refurbished whole neighborhoods and districts and breathed new life into them. No doubt the food scene is good in Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan but would have liked to see him spread it out a little more with something from the Bronx, Harlem, SI and Queens.
@giglio33012 Man you are so right....I'm dying laughing. I was in NY 2yrs ago when my father passed away and a lot of the mom&Pop places that served the best food are GONE. I was disappointed, especially with limited time.
@@lray173 What do you mean once great? New York was a piece of shit until recently.
The drink is called a "Banderita"it means little flag, as it has the colours of the mexican flag.
Awesome video! i´m going to NY in 2 months, willl stop by all 13 places. Thank you!
Arthur O. Have a great trip! Happy eating:)
Amazing video! Cant wait to get there in January
Who else heard the song "Starboy" at 6:52?
Yes, when you show me plates with 20g of food I probably won't go there.
Good tips on NYC! Nice video.
Wow I live here and havent been to hardly any of these places I must venture out more!
0:36 - young Hugh Grant?
YES! Exactly what I thought! He acted just like him there😂
WOW I can’t believe you don’t have Katz’s Deli on there. It is the BEST pastrami in the world. You really have to go to Katz’s.
Elizabeth I do LOVE Katz’s. It was actually just a complete brain fart leaving it off my list. If I could re-record the video, I would haha. Maybe I’ll do a part two at some point:) Though...I think Langer’s in LA is even better if you’ve never tried it:)
Cheers,
M
@@MattsTravelTips I'll remember "Langer's" because I love trying new food. Send me a plane ticket and I'll be there to try it.
Elizabeth Hahaha. Soon as I have some extra cash lying around :)
Its down the street from original russ and daughter
I love a good eatery! Thanks for sharing!
Alexi Harding Glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers,
M
Great video matt this helps alot
This is my first time watching one of your videos and it was very well done. Despite the fact that almost all your picks were in Manhattan and I HATE Manhattan and I hate going there, the presentation was very well done and I enjoyed watching it regardless. I live in Queens and we have so many good places to eat here. I always scoff when people talk about how great Manhattan is or how great the food there is. It's overhyped and overpriced.
Angelus13AOV I’ve gotten a lot of comments about Queens. Perhaps I’ll have to do a Queens video at some point too:) Thanks for the comment
pay paya w 23 st @ 7 th ave and pizza gaga w 23 st nyc 1.00 pizza
Helen Murphy you live at the prince William?
I love food tips w GPS coordinates
Spot on the bagels!
Awesome, video, Matt. I've become a big fan of your travel tips. I'm spreading the word and sharing with all I know. Thanks for sharing your travels!
Thanks so much! Much appreciated!!
I wasn’t going to comment until I saw Cosme on the list ! Give me af break. How much did they pay you ? Cosme has about 4 things on the menu and they’re not memorable.
Xian Chinese is basically a fast food restaurant. If you want hand pulled noodles go to Tasty Hand Pulled Noodles in Chinatown on Doyers st.
Totto Ramen is as good as you say it is - agreed .
.. and how can you mention pizza without mentioning Lombardi’s on Spring st. Or Grimaldi’s.
Or New York Noodletown
Or Joe's Pizza. The OG
As a New Yorker I can’t help but laugh 🤣🤣 this is NOT NY pizza or NY in general lol. You don’t go to “high end” spots to feel the real NYC, you have to hit The Bronx where the REAL little Italy is. THE best little Italy in NYC. These pizza places in the video are a joke and can’t compare to real NYC pizza joints ✌🏽. None of this screams NEW YORK to me.
we didnt ask you .
Di Fara is legit. Your right about the other 2
lol, thats cause you only know a small part of NY then or maybe can't afford the high end places
So what you’re saying is, you’ve never been to Di’Fara, is that it?
DiFara's is the real deal better than Arthur Avenue's Full Moon Pizza...
Loved watching! Had to subscribe!
Benny The Man Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Cheers,
M
New York is so amazing, that you need more than one video.
Luis Rojas Totally agree. It’s impossible to cover it one vid. Been thinking about doing one for Queens soon.
Cheers,
M
Queens would be a awesome post. We have so many places to try @@MattsTravelTips
Rule #3: GET THE F*** OUT OF THE BIKE LANE
;-)
seriously matt what the fuck are you doing in the fucking bike lane?
Lazy Seal Gang Apparently irritating you:)
Honestly though. GET OUT!!!
Jonathan Dowd Clearly I have ruffled some feathers here:)
haha matt, youre a legend. but if i ever see you in the bike lane, I am going for you FULL force :) kdding
feels like this video was made for americans as it is basicly only european food
I should be going to NYC for the first time later this year,do this was a great video for some information.
Cogitatio023 Great! Glad it helped! Enjoy!!!
My wife and I just get back from NYC.
Before we went, we watched your video and we are really glad that we did it.
We have visited most of the recommended places and I have to say it was great experience.
Special mention deserves Totto Ramen and Russ & Daughters, reasonable prices for really delicious food.
Thank you Matt, pleas keep posting videos, from now on, we are not going to visit any place before checking, if you have a tips.
Željko Vrdoljak Love comments like this! So glad the video was helpful! More vids coming soon:)
All the best,
M
