It might be so, but tourists don't give a f*** about all those things.
It doesn't take a coal oven to make those marks on the crust. I've worked in the pizza business for over 40yrs.
it always surprises me how often you get random surcharges when paying with a credit card in NYC.
"They don't skimp you on the food" as you take a bite of a 28 dollar sandwich
$6 for a hotdog bro. My ancestors will slap you in the face
4:10 "World Cup flags" š
I'm almost sure those countries still use the flags after the world cup.
Brother how you call yourself a New Yorker and donāt even know how spicy the halal guys hot sauce is š nub
Shoulda went to greys papaya
Sarges better than Katz!? Yea I know theyāre paying you to say this no way bro ! To anybody watching or reading this donāt believe this at all! Go to both and you tell me which is better
Where's the Dr. Brown's soda to go with that Pastrami???
Great video!š
As a frequent NYC traveler, Iāve had the pleasure of dining in both, Katzās and Sargeās, the food is much better at Sargeās!! Better taste, the bread doesnāt crumble and the side orders are tastier and plentiful!! Sargeās Al the way!!
I always tell people to go to Sarge's for there pastrami sandwich. Katz's is definitely a tourist trap. As someone who's from here, i will never wait in a line for food when there's so many other good options close by. Big tip: if you're planning to get something from a food cart & there's no prices listed that's a red flag that you might (will) get overcharged. Always ask b4 ordering.
In St. Louis, weāll be getting a Katzās Deli pop-up for two days in August.
The amount of basil on pizza #2 is heartwarming.
32 dollars for Margherita is criminal
Alot of you guy's are narrarating your videos now, reediting them, using new thumbnails, combing them and reposting them as if they are original from yesterday. This video i so old. Even the pasting is so old. Dude, your'e just trying to make free money now instead of doing the work.
I wouldn't eat either of the first two pastrami sandwiches.
Hey Jon, just wanted to say thanks for all your NYC videos. We were just there a couple weeks ago and your videos helped me plan out our trip, and my family was impressed with all the little tips and tricks I learned from you. We had a great time, so thank you!
American fake-Italian pizza looks pretty pathetic, to be honest. Also, WTF did they put on top of your "pie" (lol), a bush of basil? No offence, Jon, but this looks like an #AD to me… that pizza looks pretty nasty. The tomato is orange, it's definitely overdone with the basil, the crust is flat and there's way too much distance between the border and the topping. I feel sorry for you 'Mericans… with all due respect, of course.
Lombardi's looks like pre-prepared pizza
I love the video but.. more AI slop sadge
Jon I remember commenting a few years back saying you needed to showcase Sarge's and imo it is the best pastrami sandwich in the city. Thanks for sharing!
12:27 I still go to and enjoy platters for the nostalgia over the past 20+ years. It started as a food cart for late night cabbies to get something to eat. On one hand it's a shame that it became so popular and they slipped on quality but still have long lines but on the other hand it's good that competition has popped up everywhere and it highlights a lot of culture that is often hidden in background of the city
Im the chef that made your pizza at Lombardiāsā¦ my bad bro I lost my parlay by one that day š
STOP CALLING PIZZA A āPIEā
Great video and I agree with everything aside the cheesecake battle! Eileen's is excellent but it's not a quintessential New York style cheesecake like Juniors! New York cheesecake isn't light and airy with graham cracker crusts. Sorry, but it's not a fair comparison if you're judging New York style cakes. Also, I would've told the security guard to GFY since you we're on a public sidewalk and not on bank property. The bank can only lay claim to property on the first squares of sidewalk space outside of their property. Everything else beyond it is public area and you can film what you want. I would've told him to get lost and dared him to call the police. You would've been done filming before they showed up anyway IF they even show up! ššš
Eileen's cheesecakes is phenomenal
Katz wasnāt always tourist trap back in the day i remember when it was $5.00 a sandwich in the 1980s. Only when a billion youtube bloggers went there it became a tourist trap
If it's a brick & mortar business—
There should NEVER be an off day, off pie, off whatever. Period.
So Arturo's where is the chesse!!!
Cheat code: get the hot dog at Katz. Fantastic snap
Now that Katz's sandwich looks like – with 2 more pieces of bread – could feed 2 people and 2 sandwiches could be made . BUT why do I have a feeling that there is a sign posted somewhere saying "NO extra Bead slices for sale!" ? LOL. Total rip off. I hate cramped seating with strangers !!!!
Katz is good but overrated. Russ and daughters i wouldnt even consider to be good.
Hey. Has anyone ever told you that you look like Pedro Alonso, the lead character in the Netflix TV show titled 'Berlin'?
I tried to go to Katz when I was in NYC in May, but got there too late. So I went to times square, because I was starving, & got a hot dog. Ugh. Like you said, it was edible, but just barely. Will never do that, again!! Good video!!
not sure if i went to katz at an off time, or if they really show out when they know someone is recording for youtube, but when i went it was legitimately awful, thin and just dry pastrami. š
Jon I beg you to stop using gen ai, it's reducing the quality of your content. We come to you for your human self, not for a computer program that steals and soulessly regurgitates.
Rule of thumb: If there are a lot of tourists, it is a tourist trap.
Just go to places where only the locals go.
P/s: before going, check reviews. If many reviews are from tourists, don't even waste time to go there.
