When visiting New York City, you can just eat at the same chain restaurants that you have in your hometown, but there are some truly authentic New York food experiences you really should try.

Man... My father lived in NY for years he shared an appartment building with his brother and two arab dudes, You know one those sketchy appartments filled with rats. He eventually ran out of money and gave up and came back to mexico to go on with his life. Long story short he loved a place called ZABARS and we visit ny like every two years and man i can tell that just the smell of the hazelnut coffee bring tears to his eyes. Also, he loves KATZ's but he never had enought money to buy a decent pastrami sandwich until he want back with me and man i will never forget his expression when he had that sandwich.
Food in new york for most people is just a great experience by itself but ny people will never get to feel that nostalgia. That adds something else to the food. I only can imagine how he felt wen he had that pastrami sandwich like 30 years later. I dont usually type stuff on youtube but i respect anthony bourdain and felt like sharing.
Happy new years all.

Anthony Bourdain was a treasure: he brought people and cultures together, which is more than many nations can achieve. He's gone now, but the world is a better place because we shared it with him. Rest in peace.

I had an 8 hour international layover in NY, the only time I was near NY City. I went into town to explore and for a Katz pastrami sandwich . It ended up being one of the major highlights and best memories of the whole trip.

Go to a Halal cart and get the chicken over rice with salad for about 6 or 7 bucks. With the hot and white sauces.

Especially now, we really miss you man. Rest easy.

You inspired us to travel to new places. You encouraged us to make new friends. Most of all, you taught us to break bread with strangers. Thank you, Tony.

Tech Insider slowing evolving into the food channel they always wanted to be.

Man, I’m glad for video snippets like these. They keep a good man alive.

[Hellopleesh]

This is one of my favorite videos of his because it shows how deep rooted his experience is. It's just there. You can see it. He's been around.

[davidmurphy]

Sadly I never fully appreciated how cool this guy was until after he passed. Seemed like such a cool guy. You could tell he was just as at home eating a hot dog from a street vendor as he was a slap up meal at a top resturant.

You know you've completed everything there is to achieve as a chef, when you speak so sincerely about basic food

[richardschindler]

Always enjoyed watching his shows, sadly missed.

Having lived in NYC nearly all my life I can honestly say I’ve consumed my fair share of dirty water dogs. Every now and again you’ll find a vendor that offers grilled dogs, maybe even better than dirty waters.

New York Pizza is a unique experience. I like the way the man himself describes it all honestly. It’s not the best pizza or the best hot dogs...but it’s a staple of New York to get a bite to eat during the rush of day.

Man I loved watching all of his shows, he always seemed like a genuine guy. It's crazy he never crossed me as a guy who would take his own life.

[sarahdelany]

As a Chicagoan, I approve this message.

[Elcapitaan]

You can always see his genuine passion for places and food, he was a tourist and customer first and a restaurateur second. That's why so many related to him.

In new York there's so many amazing cultures. Taste them and complement and embrace them. Live an open minded life. Be humble and love your fellow human.

I live in Oklahoma . My husband and I opened the first legal push hotdog cart in our area in 50 years . I had not really looked at Anthony Bourdain and his stuff but I have to say after looking at many of his interviews the last few days I feel connected to him now . I used to be a bloody good dishwasher working in a mostly male Asian restaurant you had to be harsh and dirty to get by there. Never again . I would rather sling dogs on my own then to do that again . However I learned I am strong enough to make it I am just not despite enough to hurt myself like that again.

[chrisberotti]

He had so much wisdom. You could just hear it when he spoke. And it was a deep deep wisdom. Not just about food but all aspects of life.
