Beast & Butterflies Bar is awesome!

I went to Sushi Brazil today based on your recommendation in this video as an Austrian tourist. It didn't disappoint! It was absolutely delicious and I have never eaten anything quite like it. Thanks a lot for this hidden gem :)

You are a Hidden Gem! I feel like you are the number one top New York City travel expert. If I ever have a chance to get there I will definitely be binge-watching and re watching all of your videos. Honestly I had kind of given up on the idea of feeling like I needed to ever go there but your videos make me want to visit.

The fact that the jazz club allows kids is amazing! My 10 years loves jazz & she has never seen a live show in her life. This will be a great birthday surprise for her ! Thank you for this video 🤍

Jon, you and I have been New Yorkers for a very long time, and no matter how great we know the city is, it never fails to surprise us to just how great it is.

A good selection of interesting options. Definitely up to try that sushi.

I'm at Beasts and Butterflies right now. This place is fly and quiet. This is definitely a hidden gem. Thanks so much. It's cold but it's worth being outside

[kevindavis]

You had me at the first joint. Hahahaha

[blueroninstudios]

Well, I think it's time I scheduled a visit to good ol NYC for these attractions! Thanks, Jon and Adriana, once again!

[lorraineshea]

You're hitting all the spots for my next visit. You definitely make NYC fun again. I'm a history freak. My ancestral family is from Bronx/Brooklyn. I really enjoy the unknown spots you find.

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library is awesome! Would love to do work there whenever we're in the area.
We gotta check out Sushi Brazil too! 🍣

Even though it's not a secret per se, 54 Below (former location of Studio 54) is a GREAT cabaret venue with top-billed talent in a small dinner club. Every show I've seen here you can make eye contact with the artists. They really play to the room and it's a different experience to a larger hall where they can't see the audience through the flood of lighting.

Birdland Jazz looks amazing! It feels similar to Iridium which is also in the area (under Stardust Diner) which I did visit.

The rooftop bars are to die for!

[roscoemuttley]

The first place looked like the best! The din of the streets and drinks/snacks away from the scams...cant beat that

[AdrianodePaula]

Sou brasileiro e vivo em NJ, e não sabia que tinha esse Brazilian sushi em Manhattan. Thanks!!

[ponysoze]

You were just across the street from John’s of Times Square! The pizzeria I told you that used to be a gospel Church. You should definitely check it out. It’s 2 floors, 450 seats and 4 brick ovens. And great artwork! Another great video by you!

Thank you so much for mentioning that Birdland Jazz Club is kid/family friendly. Have two teens and we all love music, this will be definitely one of the spots we visit on our trip this summer!
