New York City is a true melting pot. The people and foods of dozens upon dozens of countries and cultures are represented there, which makes exploring the city an unforgettable adventure for any foodie! In this episode, I link up with a longtime friend to explore the incredible Jewish food scene in New York City!
I couldn’t do this tour without my good friend Jon Barr, an awesome travel TH-camr and former sportscaster who focuses on the amazing sights and foods of the Big Apple! We’d be kicking off our morning at Russ & Daughters in the East Village. It’s a staple and institution in Manhattan!

Manhattan is the place where a lot of Jews got their start in the New World. I couldn’t wait to check it out! Inside we went with the Classic bagel with smoked salmon and scallion cream cheese.
You can also get lots of varieties of salmon, sturgeon, bagels with schmear, caviar, macaroons, tons of Jewish breads and pastries, and chocolates!
Outside, we enjoyed the bagel, which contained a precise amount of cream cheese and salmon. It was excellent! I loved the creaminess and the chives. The Nova Scotia salmon was super buttery and smoky and paired so well with the chewy bagel and cream cheese. It was the best bagel of my life!
After eating, we walked about 10 minutes between the Lower East Side and the East Village. It’s a great location for young people and hipsters. We continued down 2nd Avenue, which used to be called Yiddish Broadway!
Then, we arrived at B&H Dairy, which opened in 1938 and is a Kosher vegetarian place. It’s a tiny, traditional Jewish diner with a long counter. We started with some matzoh ball soup with carrots, noodles, and broth. My grandmother was Jewish and we’d eat it during Passover!
The matzoh ball was spongy and the soup itself was so delicious. It took me back to my childhood! I loved the vegetables and noodles. Next were the cheese blintzes, which are are almost like fried, rolled crepes.
It was a little sweet but savory, and the cheese was crumbly and flavorful. Then, we had some latkes, or potato pancakes. They’re popular during Hanukkah and are eaten with applesauce. The sweetness and savoriness together were unreal. It was very different from a hash brown and much crispier! They sell out of latkes every year during Hanukkah!
Next, we saw some challah french toast with cinnamon and bananas, but didn’t eat any, as we were already too full. Jewish food is super filling! But it was worth it-it was the best Jewish food Jon and I had ever eaten!
Then, I tried some challah bread, which is a super fluffy, buttery, and eggy bread. They make it fresh in-house, which is super rare! The great thing about the food is that it now reaches all races, ethnicities, and walks of life!
We ended with some knish, a popular Jewish dish especially in NYC. It’s a ball of dough that comes with gravy. This one was stuffed with sweet potato! It has a slight sweetness to it, but not overly so. The gravy was thick and added a savory element. But now I was full!
But then they brought out some pierogi! These are fried Polish dumplings that contain cheese, sauerkraut, mushroom, potatoes, spinach, and feta cheese. They’re served with sour cream. I loved the crispy exterior and the mix of hearty vegetables inside!

"Berlin"... Una Mattina😀😀👍👍
Wow! Bagels!!! The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight. Love from Korea 🇰🇷💕
Over doing it huh????
Don't tell me a free Lance writer.....makes no sense.
I'm a New Yorker....Bagels & Lox...Simlpy Delicious 😋
Your host looks like "Berlin" from Money Heist. Another great episode of food from my favourite NYC.
Nice video. You should also maybe check out Sefardi Jewish food and Bukharian Jewish food in Queens NY

Shalom! Love and support from India 🤝
@@marveen6372 um…I’m Chassidic and I shower all the time, and btw not all chassidic Jews have long side curls and look like you think.
@@chaimlevin125it’s sad people say such hateful things. We are human.

Dude that food looks amazing! 🤤 NYC has it all!
David my mother and our family we put sour cream and the applesauce on our potato pancakes the combination is fabulous and I only see a small majority of people who do that but that's the way it has to be.
Lots of love to my Jewish brothers from 🇮🇳❤
Great video, nice food tour. Thanks and take care.
Ashkenazi Hungarian loved this video
David, now you are in my neck of the woods. I will go to that bagel spot and get that same bagel with cream cheese sometimes with stable. I’m now living in Florida but missed my New York City at times. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful video as always. The lady from B and H was lovely and kind.
You don't need to toast bagels....If they are fresh. Russ & Daughters is fire. Expensive but quality stuff.
Only goyim toast bagels.
I got it toasted there. It doesn’t seem to make much of difference. I think the toaster heat is probably like 90 degrees
OMG. Two of my favorites in one spot
Such an awesome vid. I'm a Jewish guy from NYC that moved to Brasil. I miss this food so much. Have learned to make some but it's not the same. Next trip my first stop is gonna be B&H!
Great video!
Oh my GOD,this is comfort food in spades,in on of the worlds best cities.I need to go back there I missed all this piece of culture!Amazing!!
What a crossover
Very eyeopening
I'm so admire your videos bro. From Sri Lanka. Thank you very much
I want to go to B&H. We are lucky to get many of these dishes in our area of PA. I am familiar with all of them. So glad you finally did something different!
Super episode 👌
Good quality bagels don’t need toasted cause they are amazing BUT from the supermarket I’d toast personally cause they need the help 🤣🙈
Amazing video xx
Thank you Kerry!!!
Toasting bagels especially the Manhattan Jewish bagel is a sacrilege to food
Thank you David for exploring my dream city❤️Respect you man .
I love it!!! The history and food passion!!!👍💪👊🙏💙☕🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
You guys debating if Matzah ball soup is for Rosh Hashanah or Hanukkah and I am here like... I had it for pesach haha. Loved the video.
I enjoyed and subscribed.
I love how you tells information about food love from India 😘😘
Awesome
Video ! You guys are like Kobe & Shaq on camera
What a duo! 🤌🏻💪🏻
Knishes! If you come to Winnipeg, you can enjoy amazing blintzes at Gunn’s Bakery, Bernstein’s Deli, or the Falafel Place. Winnipeg has a vibrant Jewish community and fabulous food (especially City Bread rye, best bread on the planet). Great video 😄
Sour cream goes well with apple sauce. We usually use sour cream for daily meals and apple sauce for meat dishes.
A sweet potato knish?!?! omg, that is amazing.
Rayo Vallecano! Nice shirt David.
B&H kept many musicians nourished during the late 1970's / early 1980's downtown music scene. Wonderful memories.
I miss my mom's matzoh ball soup and matzoh brei. My grandmother was one of those immigrants in the 1910s in the LES. She worked in a sweat shop.
this video deserves 1m views :)
Thank you very lovely video
I used to live in the East village during the eightees it was a rough neighborhood then but the food was just killer I went to Katz's for 27 years and I will return one day cheers !!!
I appreciate that you favored the Nova Scotia Salmon vs. Lox. GOOD choice.
Hello David ,just popped up your vlog right now ,I'm here .. awesome 👍👍love from India
Thanks shweta😋
Nice! Wish could see it back in 90s where one can eat in small basement restaurant for cheep or like my cousin bargain for price on leather jacket
he outsmarted david on talkativenes.....
That’s dope lol I just saw my neighbor in this video the African dude
Small world
Can’t live without their bakery in NYC.
Nice tshirt , Rayo Vallecano ,i loved 👍, good videos .Greetings from Spain.
My favorite way to have both blintzes and latkas are with sour cream. A little sugar sprinkled on top of the cheese blintzes
delicious I also like salmon a lot😋
Many people will make challah french toast with leftover challah bread from Shabbat.
I don't think I've had a knish with gravy, but it looks delish. Also don't believe I've had anything other then a potato perogi. Some of the other stuffings sound nice though.
You can get great deli in Miami too.
Wao that is lovely, stay connected
Einstein's, in Phoenix.. Nova Lox!! YUM!!
Nobody can bake like Jewish people. Best bread of all time.
Never toast fresh bagels but the next day .... yes. Or if they are frozen and defrosted then they are greta toasted.
Love from India 🇮🇳👍💙
Matzoh ball soup is Jewish penicillin! At the end, that is is healthiest-looking pierogi I have ever seen. I bet poor people in Poland don't make it like this.
@Urban VIII Chicken Soup is considered to be Jewish penicillin, not vegetarian Matzoh ball soup 😀😃😄
Not toasted if it’s fresh! But if it’s been sitting out all day you gotta get it toasted
I'd assume Russ & Daughters owns their storefront, being there for a bit over 100 year - I can't see them paying rent for that long. It's possible, just think they don't. And what's he saying Matza Ball soup is for Chanukah, it's for anytime, usually on Shabbat (Friday night). I think he's thinking about potato latkes.
The guy with David speaks like a tv presenter
@Prateek Srivastava Here Be Barr actually was a TV Sports reporter on MSG 😸
Mmmm, latkes are also delicious with sour cream.
I prefer Salty belly lox to Nova but that's just my preference. You should check out Barney Greengrass
How is the herring?
I wonder if anybody has ever tried making rugelach with arugula?
I think David is half Jewish and not a quarter as he said in the video. Judaism runs through the maternal side of the family and if his father's mother was Jewish that means his father is 100% Jewish, thus making David half Jewish.
I guess your right.. 😁
No you can get lax also from H&H bagels on Broadway New York City.
Came tô brazil
I am Indian and I love when David eats Indian food but first time I watched him eating foreigner food and I love it... Good to know other stuffs...
Russ and Daughters… nice coffee and great bagel but very expensive… $47 for two bagels and 2 coffees!
Love Jewish culture thanks !
Matzo ball soup clay cakes the soul almost like a huge hug
Yes I know I spelled the word wrong my arthritis hurts very bad today and I can't find my stylist sorry folks
Still confused, whose video I was watching 🤔
Is it of David or other guy 🙄
You only need to toast a bagel when it is not fresh !
Would love to eat our jewish brother's food in new york. Everything looks so yummy
Needs onion tomato capers
I am ur big fan😍
Shavua tov Davi very Good
A fresh warm bagel should never be toasted
David with Berlin (from money hiest)
Wow I love this video,makes me proud of my Jewish roots. You guys did it right. Now after watching this I want to take my son wife and father.
Big Fan From India ❤️
David please I would love to invite you to try my restaurant in Brooklyn bayridge
What type of food? I am not there but email us Brandon at Davidsbeenhere dot com 🔥
@@Davidsbeenhere I promise you will fall in love with Yemeni food that’s a garantee I emailed Brandon already
what?! matzo ball soup is for chanukah? you can have it on chanukah and rosh hashanah, but it's traditional on passover.
Ive never had a bagle :(
bagels should be toasted with peanut butter and jelly on them
You were 1 block from Katz's.
Matza Ball soup is all year ‘round. Latkes are for Chanuka.
Did i see Sheldon Cooper eating bagles ??
Is putting peanut butter on a bagel the equivalent of pineapple on pizza?
🤣
Malayali Iike adi 🙌🔥
I have eaten halal food many time but never had kosher food would love to try
Sorry guys but I want my bagel toasted 😋
