It seems as though a GoFundMe is useless if nobody will be patronizing the diner. It's almost like throwing your cash in the trash. Money would be better spent entering the restaurant and purchasing food. Getting the word out to the masses is step one and I commend this effort by Mister Barr.
I think in a city with thousands of restaurants and really good food, customer service matters a lot. When there is so much choice, good food is not enough. Another great video ❤.
See there is another vegan restaurant or sandwich shop in Brooklyn. It’s owned by my friend, but I’m sad to say that he certainly had to shut down because of the increase of rent and other things. It was Toad Style it been here for over. Decade and was even featured but people forgot to support the real New Yorkers 10:25
Give Toad Style my love and tell them Panda sent you – they are really nice people and the friendliest Brooklyn has to offer. 18:45 IG toadstyle if you want to donate to their #gofundme to help pay their employees
Love this video! Cozy Soup & Burger is terrific. At there dozens of times through the years. Their soups are perfect as is their burgers. Even better is their warm and generous staff.
TBH that thai place looks like you would get sick from the clutter alone. its also a looks like a massive fire hazard. as well as the chicken you ate was not fully cooked i saw enough red in there to make me not want to eat there again if i went there. If they fixed all that and the food was good i would go.
This is one on the most entertaining videos I've seen. Love that you are doing good for NYC while making your content. You defiantly need to do this again & I want one of those emails! I'd fly in for it!
‘I’m eating Nepalese momo while drinking a lassi, such a queens moment’ 🤣 brother It wasn’t a Nepalese + Chinese/Tibetan + Indian fusion restaurant, Nepal is sandwiched between them this IS their local cuisine. Minus the dishes that are there for the Americans this is just what every Nepalese restaurant is like.
This is super dope. I’ve been to plenty of overcrowded restaurants in NY that are absolutely terrible, terrible service, disgusting food , ugly ass decor. Never believe the hype
That mexican place gets a 5/10 for me the inside looks good and you say the food taste good. But the whole drag show bingo thing what are they thinking that alone would make me not come back no matter how good the food is. Like men dressing up as women and trying to act sexy to people like is this a restaurant or a woke strip club. they need to get rid of that or there place will not be able to keep that place going
Like I have mention before to people that every since Covid in 2020 the crime gotten up in NYC with crazy people and also the Financial Inflation gotten even wrosen in 2026 that's why right now in 2026 restaurant struggling sadly…
0:53Hear me out. What if, instead of a gofundme, they had a location they could change money for food? I’m beginning to see a pattern. Imagine being so privileged and entitled your only issue is using common sense to fix the restaurant in one of the most difficult and profitable spots in the USA? Too bad this guy wasn’t honest in how to help them in fixing it. Exposure is NOT GOING TO HELP if people don’t understand you sell food.
I haven't finished watching yet, but thank you for using your platform for things like this. I live in a small town in the uk that is predominantly independent shops and food chains minus like a couple of places and they thrive here because of it, and honestly i don't think i've had a bad meal eating out here but our go-to is usually almost always the italian here, and idk just seeing y fave place thriving makes me so happy, i think if it was struggling I'd be doing everything I could to help it, these smaller places really deserve to be put out there. Also those momo's looked SO good Nepalese food is so so so incredibly tasty!!

Really ? Stealing ideas now ….

I swear I’m not a hater but most of that just looks like normal Cisco or us foods
This is such a great way to use your channel for good cause.
YEE-ROS
And I m not even Greek gosh
thumbnail looks weird. please no AI or overly edited images!
Even before watching this video I knew he would purposely avoid the Black community in NYC. A zero coverage narrative for 1/4th of NYC 😂
"and he's gonna make you it." ??? You talk like a 10 year old sometimes.
Sadly Shui Mei Cafe is already closed
Excellent & So Kind Jon. You Are Amazing & Much Love ❤❤❤
In Nepal they say Momo without an s, it is already plural like deer.
Soup & Burger is fricken awesome
Delivery services are ruining businesses like this
No bad location in NYC, if it’s good enough. People will make that journey, no matter how far.
love the new trend of visiting struggling restaurants. Its a refreshing pivot from the trying the next viral thing

What a fabulous episode Jon!! I really enjoyed seeing more unknown restaurants being tried and you have showed true heart by doing this video

You gotta do more videos at struggling businesses.
Please do more videos like this.

If you're intimidated ordering imagine how others feel and you order food for a living
NEED AS A SERIES! GEMS

Helping people who need and deserve help, makes you a hero. Thanks, pal. Wishing these good people all the luck they deserve.
Can see why Bangklyn is struggling…
Was not expecting a food video from our guy Jon to make me well up a little, but here we are. Great stuff, man.
Thank you for doing this to help these good people.

Glaaad to have subbed y'all ! !
I love this! I hope all these restaurants get more business
Really cool ending

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a young Isaac Brock, frontman of Modest Mouse?

Its good your doing this
Great concept.
Not sure if they're struggling, but a spot with a great mission is "the original soup kitchen" (
Q288+5J New York, USA) I highly recc you give em' some lovin.
We used to drown our sorrows with meatloaf sandwiches and blueberry pie. Now it’s Xanax and Tik Tok.
Like I have mention before to people that every since Covid in 2020 the crime gotten up in NYC with crazy people and also the Financial Inflation gotten even wrosen in 2026 that's why right now in 2026 restaurant struggling sadly…
Extremely kind of you to help these struggling restaurants, and thank you so very much for your videos and for doing this for them.

More of these type of vids please. Maybe once a month at least if possible. 🙏
this is the second time i've seen a video on bangklyn in like a week. I wonder if some shenanigans is going on
