The Best NEW Food You MUST Try In New York!

Here's a list of all the cool new spots in New York City that you should go eat at if you're visiting and you don't want A typical experience. Yeah, a lot of people always ask us should I go here or should I go there? So we're gonna break it down But here's the thing all the spots we're about to tell you about opened up in the past five years No diss to the legacy spots, but I just think you know It's time to if you've been in New York a couple times you could turn a new chapter Make sure you like subscribe and turn on your notifications But you know what else is part of the new chapter a new chapter of New York City is smaller sauce guys Great finishing oil check it out at the Instagram There's a lot of cool content that we're making smaller sauce calm if you want to order it shipping right now Probably the number one tourist spot that people go to in lower Manhattan is cats. Is there a substitute for cats? I don't think there's an actual substitute for cats So what we'll instead say is when you go to cats and here's my opinion. I've been to cats several times now get The club bread because they don't toast their rye bread so make the adjustment they might scowl at you They don't want you to get the club bread, but they offer it. It's better and get mail Oh, and you should get mail even though the old generation they frown on that right? Yes So we're just telling you if you're gonna go to cats, which I recommend go to cats. Just hey change your order a little bit I'll let you guys know in a little secret Andrew last time the Dominican worker. He was like, you know, you know He doesn't want to recommend it, but he was like, you know what you're doing Bobby. You know what you're doing Mayo and club bread but with their meats cats meats are great Um moving on instead of waiting in line at the world-famous Dominic Ansel's that invented the cronut Where else should they go? Because I'll tell you this Dominic Ansel's Andrew They had an amazing run, but there might be a lot of new bakeries that people are overlooking There's some really cool bakeries Libre bakery delicious amazing croissant You got Lady Wong for the Malaysian desserts the Chinese Malaysian pastries and stuff Lisi, which is an incredibly hard to get Korean ran like like what is it like museum bakery like they just sell like they sell out every day I've never seen yappies Asian yappies almost kicked down a door like it was a Jordan release except for Lisi bakery This one's crazy. That'll be hard to get patisserie fouet over on 13th Street la durée for just straight imported French Desserts and pastries they're imported like from France like that and then yeah, I mean there's a whole bunch of donut shops Um instead of the pep slice from Joe's try a fig and bacon slice from L industry Yo, Joe's is great for what it is and it's there and it's accessible But by no means is Joe's the best pizza It would be a shame if you came to New York and you only had a pep slice from Joe's, right? Yeah, Joe's is fine It's just not that great is what I'm saying And then also Prince Street pizza is on there too, which I don't deny is still pretty delicious racist But check out cuts and slices over in Brooklyn if you can, but if you're back in the city Upside pizza with their mushroom slice. That's a great slice Lucia's and Soho Grand Street pizza and scars hot boys instead of an old-school Italian American sandwich from Pesillo's or Parisi should they check out all on Tico Vinaya, which is a chain from Milan? Yeah, and they're serving Florence style Street sandwiches, I think they're very unique check it out. The bread is delicious You do need to get extra add-ons though. You need to get more meat because the Europeans, you know They just don't put as much meat packed in there You got to spend for the extras instead of getting expensive gourmet tacos There are seven or ten dollars each at a place like Rosie's Mexicano Andrew They should go to lost tacos number one. Oh my gosh lost Number one is very good even in my opinion compared to the tacos. I had in LA still very good, right? You're saying even if it was in LA it would rank high up. Yeah, I think so Takiyah Ramirez over in Brooklyn does like CDMX, you know, Mexico City style tacos pretty good, but you gotta go to Brooklyn Oh, I got a crazy deep-cut one Go to the beer Elandia truck and get consummate but don't get the tacos get the mulita their mulita is crazy It's like a hyper elevated Mexican pizza Sent it from Taco Bell instead of waffle and shout-out to waffle, which is a $5 Charsiu spot, right? Where should they go? I Would say you will find better meats at year long We walk and be wing long for duck Hey, hey roast meats for the modern style of duck and Kings kitchen now I will say this waffle the price is hard to beat $5 you're gonna get rice veggies and right but those are your other options as far as meat spots And I would say, you know Like every spots gonna have its specialty like Kings kitchen for roast pork and some of the other ones, you know Some people get peapod duck, which is a very special style pop that up instead of going to Chinese tuxedo Andrew Which is a very expensive. I guess spot in Chinatown. That's more meant to be what elevated Cantonese food But for non Asians go to potluck Club potluck Club I think that I would tell anybody who is Chinese American, especially if they're Cantonese American to go to potluck Club Instead of whatever Italian spot you were gonna go to and shout out to Emilio Pilato's. I still like it a lot. Try Terezi. Yeah Dude, Terezi is amazing and actually like maybe 20% of their menu is a little bit Asian influence I'm not telling you that's why you should go there. But literally I just had the bread there before Well, they have a hoisting duck on the menu, right? Yeah, but just their appetizers are delicious by themselves So definitely check out Terezi overall more. I like only OEPO to I mean, I believe it's from Italy They do some carbonara's but a little bit of American style in there to still make sure there's the appeal to the masses Instead of never having Georgian food Try one of the many Georgian spots in lower, Manhattan New York has a lot of Georgian restaurants in Georgian food is really good I think Georgian food might be one of the is that the most underrated unknown cuisine on earth kachi puris You know King Kali's have you guys had them European Arabic a little bit of influence from the Mongols? Instead of not getting Tex-Mex because you think Tex-Mex sucks in New York because obviously New York is very far Geographically from where there's good Tex-Mex. They should check out yellow rose from San Antonio. That's really good Tex-Mex really underrated brand new I mean will last three years whatever instead of a basic brunch at Ruby's cafe, which I still like Ruby's Andrew Try out Thai diner. Mmm, they got a Isan Saoi Breakfast wrap. Yeah, that's really good instead of going to fast food and getting soft-serve Andrew Where should they check out soft swerve soft swerve is the Asian soft-serve spot still really? I had think it has amazing ube amazing matcha. I love their seasonal flavors. It's really good, right? But the consistency still feels like McDonald's. Oh, yeah instead of trying out a 1990s Zezuan style spot Which is the style of Sichuan food that came what I believe in the 70s with Cecilia Chang or sons opens up PF Chang's Anyway, shout-out to them for bringing regional Chinese cuisine, but it's not at the Zezuan point in right, right? We're at the Sichuan point Sichuan Mountain House Mala project. This is one of your favorite spicy moon love spice What what is spice vegan Chinese spot? Very very good though And I think there's so many spots that open up in the past five years cafe trying to reopen chili blue willow That's more who non lunar is a brand new spot. I'm just saying that these spots Just go to those and said, you know, shout out to Han Dynasty from the 90s I'm done with Zezuan I'm moving on to Sichuan if you never had Chinese skewers before in your life go to the Grand Street skewer cart I mean you just went recently you said it got better it got better I don't know if it's because the fan that blows out the smoke got dirtier So it's more valid, but I'm telling you it just tastes very authentic More authentic than even I remember from a few years ago instead of just getting regular pad Thai Andrew Thai food is popping right now All the national SEO on the stats says Thai food is number one. But what do people need to try? Oh, man, so Thai food in New York is really good You can get the pad Thai at Pranakhan. You can go get the shrimp curry over at soother You can get the spicy larb at some tum dur and the sausage get the Isan sausage there as well Pork neck at tab tab and you can also one of the hottest Thai restaurants Bangkok supper club Yes, instead of going to an old-school NYC diner and shout out to them, man They still good still go to them, but I'm saying you could try out Golden Diner, which has some Asian influences, right? They got a green tea matcha crumb cake, but they also do really good pancakes, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah or waffles I mean, I think instead of a regular old-school steakhouse like Peter Luger's you can go to I guess Modern ethnic seems themed steakhouse sisters as carne mare, which is an Italian themed one or J spec Which is a owned by a Japanese Miyazaki meat company. They own J spec Miyazaki is above Kobe wagyu. Like that's another grade up and how about this sleeper pick Andrew Ichibante late at night? the steak with the garlic chips Hey, but maybe if you just want a whole new experience, I really recommend you guys check out an Argentinian steakhouse There's a couple around lower, Manhattan Argentinian steakhouses are very very good. Yeah, they got compound duck wings a Bowery meat company That's kind of like a funky fusion dish I just goes to show you once you step out of the The ones with the recipe book from a hundred years ago you get more inventive stuff. Shout out to the old spots, too I'm not going against them I'm just offering alternatives for people who have gone come many times right instead of getting never getting corn in NYC or going to a Gentrified elote spot like to combi Andrew get the elote with crumbled white queso blanco queso from cafe Habana Oh, that's delicious instead of going to donut plant shout out the donut plant Andrew How about Cora, which is a Filipino bake house? They got ube cookies and things like that. Also check out supermoon bake house. Check out the donut pub They have a s'mores donut really good Peter pan donuts in Brooklyn wild air donuts over on Orchard Street Those are also very delicious. Yo, that's very good. Donuts. That's s'mores donut has like 600 calories It's really good though instead of going to a random first spot, which is still good. We still do that Uh, check out Saigon social D on D madame vo mom Mom has a full gas service with the wide noodle had noise style crazy Instead of random and white Chinese hood food Andrew for chicken wings pork fried rice. Where should they check out? on the same price point though spicy village that's a classic cheap eat and has a lot of flavor and then but if you want to go to Brooklyn and you want a kind of modern Spicy Chinese fried chicken experience go to pecking house Pecking house over we're popping up right with the tangent chilies. Yeah, that's brand new guys. Listen guys I'm telling you it's a whole new chapter instead of halal guys Go to Adele's but Adele's got what a two-hour wait hour and a half I will say this sometimes random bodegas actually have better halal plates than you think Instead of Shake Shack, which enter Shake Shack's debatable. It came from New York. It went global Some people call it an elevated Wendy's some people think it's the best burger because it came from 11 Madison Park Where should they check out? Hamburger America open up by a Hamburger aficionado at George Mott's. I forgot his name. Yeah all chival for their $45 burger It's kind of worth it, but it's an interesting experience 7th Street for the value and they are a New York staple now and then KO burger over on Eldridge is really Good and then Gotham social Supposedly has amazing burgers. I haven't had it yet Instead of typical cheap Chinatown dumplings, which have been around for what 20 years You used to be able to get 10 of them for a dollar back in a day on now Listen Shu Zhao over on Grand Street still really good, but I would also check out Sammy Wagga, which is open late Oh Andrew the people who started Sammy Wagga work. What's here experts from Taipei that moved to New York? So I just think it's a new thing. It's only like two years old instead of typical ramen, right? Maybe momofuku noodle bar, whatever try the tsukemen at Tabe Tomo, but some people also prefer Okiburo Yeah, I would say get the chicken Ramen at Okiburo the stamina ramen at mr Taka just any place that has stamina ramen is generally a pretty good indication that they're doing something more deep-cut Not everybody does stamina broth Instead of not getting chicken rice in New York as you think it's just the LA Savoy SF Chicken and rice thing go to low y'all key Or Andrew me chicken and rice in Greenwich Village high style is really good at me chicken I'm super authentic for Manhattan goes of course Queens is a whole nother world This is all Manhattan stuff guys instead of getting typical late-night white low Chinese at a place like what hop key or hop Lee Andrew Where should they go? Uncle lose uncle lose is good, man. That's a new classic Salt-and-pepper pork chops, man. It's a buyer. That's low Wakyu food You know like sort of like a 1960s Chinatown menu, but a little bit updated So it's kind of like that nice middle spot where if you like hyper modern stuff like August gatherings You like old-school stuff like hop key uncle Luce or triangulates it in the middle instead of not getting Xinjiang Uyghur food Andrew They should just go to tangerine tangerine yeah, or uh Was it Lan's kitchen? No Chong's kitchen. Oh, okay. John's kitchen John's kitchen Kind of serves like a mixture it is all all Chinese restaurant their way way very delicious very very instead of not ever trying food From Guizhou China get the dry spicy chicken noodle from Burt Bowl lots of flavor Yo, literally Burt Bowl might be one of the most underrated places in the entire land of Manhattan Instead of going to an old-school gelato spot or one from Italy. I feel like those are good, but the flavors are limited they're all like chocolate everything try Anita gelato or El Laboratorio de gelato you love going to that one. I would say I really like Sunday's best It's actually a Korean owned you can get Asian flavored gelato, and it's delicious You can get the Korean barley in Joe me in on the gelato right it's worth It's worth like if you're in k-town you eat dinner You might as well get Sunday's best afterwards instead of not getting beef noodle soup because you didn't even know it was available go to Whole Foods very fresh noodles and in this way in this one's kind of slept on it or tangy noodles Wow good instead of Thinking that cheap delicious empanadas are something that people only eat You know not in Manhattan like maybe in Queens like Corona for sure they got him They can check out certain empanada mama's locations especially the one in East Village for some reason They make their empanadas extra good there, and they're always like two for four I always got a bogo deal So it's like man for $4.00. You can't be two of these um instead of hitting a regular bar Andrew Why don't they check out Ye's apothecary jade and clover chinado all of these are Asian themed bars nori? Those are cool bars Especially in the Lower East Side all within the past five years Andrew instead of getting all-you-can-eat hot pot at 99 favorite Where do they need to check out loud? Yeah, or hometown hot pot both very good options and guess what dolar shop after 9 p.m. As a $45 all-you-can-eat option I've been with people to dolar shop It's like $100 a person depending on how much wagyu you get instead of a half club half restaurant spot like Hakkasan Or Tau and or where should they go? You can go to the tiger which is gonna. Give you a similar experience, but it's more Asian It's more Southeast Asian like flavors Yeah instead of not getting Jamaican food because you said you and your friends wanted to go to Crown Heights to go to a Jamaican neighborhood I Say miss Lily's is still passable man, okay? And I also think jamrock jerk chicken which I don't know where the location is but you can order it on uber eats There's a pepper and Greenwich yeah, there's peppers versus peppers Yeah, there's a peppers jerk chicken in a Peppers, and then there's jamrock jerks, so there's just a lot of jerk There's a lot of expense. I think there's a lot of jerking over Your lap is good too is it overpriced probably yes, but I think it's uh listen sometimes You're not gonna spend the time to travel out into the zone some if you have time You know just just do the city version anyway long story short Andrew wood I just feel like New York Particularly Manhattan over the past five years four years three years has just gone over a gigantic like completed the arc It's like in a new chapter of food. It is it is and it's very exciting I think that the classics like cats, and you know the institutions are still around still gonna be around still good I would still recommend people go there But if you want a a typical experience like let's say this is your second or third trip to New York City And you're like you know what I did cats and Joes and all that stuff.
