- They Shrunk My Burger - How Much? The burgers here look like they have been shrunk, Much smaller than they used to be. So, it begs the question, America, New York are no longer famous for their burgers. #americanburgers #howmuch #newyork #newyorkcity

You are one of the few people on you tube that I can tell when you have enjoyed food, your face says it all. Enjoy your NY trip
🙏🏼🙂👍🏼
$52 for a tiny burger and a small apple pie. Wow you got properly stiffed there…
Bidenomics.
@@garyb2507 behave
What is that in UK money 35 quid.. That's fkn mad
@@risingstorm4239more like 40-42
Welcomeeeeeee to America
That apple pie looked amazing..Like what my granny used to make me as a kid!
All I want to say, DJ, is have a great week!! You're on holiday and you've worked hard for it! Do (and eat) exactly what you want, mate! 👍👍🍔🍺
NYC is now just a Disney theme park version of what it once was with prices to boot
Real shock that a place bang in the middle of a tourist trap is expensive
I love the sarcasm.
I love these NYC videos, takes me back and the perfect opportunity to spoil yourself! - Can't get over the cost though (and the size of that burger) :)
Your on holiday eat & drink whatever takes your fancy !!! Quality vid as always..👍👌
Looked tasty Darren but shrunken burger again. You enjoy yourself honey you put the work in. I love your vlogs very much..
This is why you should try and find local recommendations.
Otherwise you get caught in tourist trap places like this that have fake reviews.
For a country renowned for gigantic food portions, that was a disappointing tiny meal. 😢
Pure liberty. Hope you find a nice place with bigger portions.
New York you need 1000 dollars a day minimum spend for a couple Darren thats about what we spent on average , and as for people telling you that you should not do this or that stuff them mate you are on holiday you work all year and its your life,keep doing what makes you happy
London is leagues ahead of New York as a food city.
I can’t agree more with your statement. The quality of food was so bad, my son and I actually were sick in NYC. Love the city though but not the food.
Thanks Darren. Looking forward to lots of great content
That's not a burger, that's a slider!
Fentemans lemonade is available in the UK pretty much everywhere.
Hi Darren ,the pizza slice places and jewish and italian delis also very good ,try to avoid the fish and chip places though 🕶enjoy your trip.
Loving the start of New York vlogs ❤❤
Looking forward to this Darren, have a great week buddy 🫡
Apart from the price, well done to you heading away to another part of the world and doing some vlogs. Enjoyed it and looking forward to the rest. Keep safe man
Great video. DJ's gone transatlantic! 🌎
Dude you was rolled there! lol
Looked nice DJ, expensive yeah but nice 👍🏽 have a great holiday, and looking forward to more videos Mate
In the US, the average wage in 2024 is 50% higher than in the UK. In 2008, the average UK wage was the same as the US. That and the exchage rate (which has been destroyed by Brexit) is why it seems so expensive to us over there.
In the States, all diners are the same (greasy spoons in the UK).
Next time you go to the states, take sarnies and pot noodles.
Happy travels mate, looking forward to the next one 👍
Cracking video but for 52 bucks that burger should have been thicker than a boxing day turd !
Evening Darren Glad you arrived safely.
Great video as normal Darren! I can recommend the ‘Washington Square Diner’ on 150 W 4th Street. Was there last September, proper diner food, not touristy 👍
Looking forward to seeing youe nyc adventures. Thanks DJ❤
the burger and fries looked good, apple pie isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they have other types and they look like they know how to bake a pie! ... regarding price, that meal would probably be nowhere near as expensive at most diners, however you are in Midtown Manhattan and high prices are just something you can't get around there (but you knew that before you came, I reckon). Also, stay away from those artisan lemonades if you're looking to keep the bill down haha!
enjoy the knutts off ur trip darren..great content as per...i wouldnt fret,youll find places where the portions will be huge,believe u me lol.
You know as well as I do that if you want a belly-busting burger without incurring an overdraft, you'd better get out of Manhattan, and probably all of NYC, come to that Darren.
Enjoy your holiday in NY Darren has been a good few years since my last visit for me has always been expensive
Looking forward to more videos ❤
NYC used to be so cheap, clobber, grub, now even more expensive than London, great post again mate, keep em coming 👏 👍
Just had two bacon burgers and two portions of fries plus one coke at five guys Kings cross, £42.....I can remember when I couldn't lift £42 worth of burgers
Enjoy your trip Darren spend what you want, you explained about saving up for something special and awesome a few months ago.
You work hard ,yes you hold down a job as well as this you do this because you love it.
Excellent work .
Looking forward to you trying a New York strip steak and creamed spinach 😊😋😋😋😋
I’m always weary when in the states about tips etc always puts me off
Jeez pretty steep for what you had to eat. But if you enjoy it that’s what counts Darren! Spoil yourself! 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Try Paris in August Dj. One good thing most of the Parisians have left for the coast but its too bloody hot
Expensive but that apple pie looks delicious 😋
Excited to see the nyc vlogs
Aside from that have a lovely time, thanks for sharing tc.
from dining in various parts if the states its only now that i see how more superior meat in ireland and the uk is of a much jigher standard, streets ahead these days
Thats a fierce price for a burger and chips with pie and ice cream but sod it - life is too short. Go and enjoy yourself DJ.
52 dollars, not a hope would i pay that lol u should google a few of the cheaper spots for grub
Weren't Diners places that were just everyday food joints that supplied food for the working class? £45..........outrageous.
Be safe, BJ.
I like your attitude, when in Rome! Im on that page ❤
Loving this - love New York ❤️
Hello there Darren, the Big Apple ( Pie) We all think that we know about New York, well most of the USA. Let's face it, we have been fed it almost daily, The television has shown us our virtual make believe " real life." America 😂 Re the size of your burger, maybe the locals have been informed about the dangers of the full fat double size meals 🤔Or make smaller things, charging more. In fact less bangs for the dollar 💲💵😉Have to be honest, that's what I would call a bloomin great looking Apple Pie. I felt the enamel on my teeth started to melt 😁😬🤗 Even with the sugar rush, loved your not quite a senior moment 🤔. Keep searching for the best burger and share the hunt with us. Allan&Family
I wouldn’t say £56 was expensive for what looked top quality in fantastic surroundings. Seen the price of McDonalds lately 🤣🤣 but as usual another great video Gary 👍👍👍👍
Mr DJ, this needed to be titled, Honey I Shrunk the Burger 😊
Perhaps a little research would be in order! New York has some great burger sites, for sure. There is a guy, Hamburger America is the diner, hyped but probably better than the one you had.
Late watching this The burger & apple pie did look good tbf … but $52 ! though it is New York I guess
Enjoy your holiday there Looking forward to other food reviews xx👍👍
It makes London seem quite low cost 😀 that was too expensive New York or not, thanks for sharing your journey 👍
Not been to New York since 1978 so obviously prices have gone up lol.
Lets remember it was never going to be cheap its one of the most expensive cities in the world but one of the greatest like London ❤.
Crazy expensive! Papaya King just reopened at 206 E. 86th St and you can get 2 delicious grilled hot dogs and a papaya juice for $11.99.
Have a great break mate and enjoy !! Go Brooklyn or queens for value diners
Yeh being New York I’d presume the burger would be bigger, as everything’s bigger in America, have a awesome time and can’t wait for more videos 😊😊❤❤❤
You are looking well mate! Have you lost weight? Hope you have a great time in New York, for me it was a dream destination and when I finally went I was really disappointed so got on a train and went to Boston instead where I had a much better time!
They even stiffed you on the apple pie, looks like someone ate the other half before serving it to you!! Pure RIP OFF
That is America nowadays unfortunately
Maybe America is finally doing something about it's obesity problem
I've never been to the States but i'm buggered if i'd pay that much for a cheese burger,fries and piece of pie no matter how good it was.I too thought that in America portions were huge and prices were low.Apparently not
frank sinatra ,,dean martin ,,sammy davis junior ,,peter lawford and joey bishop ..for those who want to know the 5 ..
Last two yep & yep
@@davebardell do you know the name of sinatra,s first group?
No mate
@@davebardell the hobokum four...he was born in hobokum new york..he joined a trio which obviously then made it 4
@@kevinhalligan5283 Sinatra probably spelled H-O-B-O-K-E-N correctly, and undoubtedly realized it was in New Jersey.
Hey up enjoy and safe travels
my word , no way .Id go to burger king
When I'm in New York, i tend to eat in Queens or Brooklyn as you can get better value for money, its pricey but its the equivalent of eating at a restaurant in Leicester Square so sounds about right
DJ Lol always the same with me waiter always comes over when I've got a mouth full of food 😮😂😂
DJ - be sure to try the Halal Brothers food cart: rice, salad and chicken shawarma with the best sauces!!! It’s a must try when in NYC!
Also want to find a good corned beef bagel place to compare to our very own Brick Lane beigels.
Enjoy your trip. You are right - u r on holiday - normal miserable life can wait till u get back.
£45 that's just crazy call me tight but no way would I pay that
Not sure if there is a Cheesecake factory in New York, if there is you should certainly give it a try.
Nice one Daz .. . Have a great time and try and get a Chinese in if you can
Would be bettee to have the camera pointing down at the food.
The table was 2 inches square, it's really tough sometimes
Good review. Food looked ok. Price wise, itnis what it is i suppose. Maybe try Old John's Diner whilst you are in NYC.
Old John's! I've been eating there since 1975 (including the original location on Broadway).
Can highly recommend Black Iron Burgers, there’s two of them in NYC, best burgers we’ve ever had and the loaded fries were OTC!
America is one place that has never appealed to me, but i still enjoy your vlogs Darren. 🤗👍
Jeez Darren I love you mate but what you doing in that place?
Good man Darren
Apple pie made with tinned, pack apples
Have a lovely holiday
I was in Brooklyn last November. If you want a more budget food day, find a trader joes (think whole foods but a bit cheaper) and get a meal from the takeaway hot counter to have in your hotel. They do some lovely options even for a vegan like me lol
Not the point of his channel
Its New York city. Expect high prices like in London.
I was surprised to see that your lemonade was made by Fentimans - founded by Thomas Fentiman in Cleckheaton and still family owned. Maybe that was quite expensive ? Looking forward to these NYC vlogs. x
Go to what used to be the Parker Meridian Hotel (I think it has changed ownership). I stayed at that hotel for ~ month about 10 years ago doing a business deal - there is a "secret" burger restaurant behind a curtain in the lobby - or there was a few years ago. Hotel is on north side of 56th - next to Carnegie hall. Should be very close to where you are staying. Awesome burgers and used to be very cheap.
Carnighe Hall is famous for The Beatles mate😂
Who?
Welcome to America. You will pay more, get less, and be happy! 🙃
Good exchange rate! When I last went to england and scotland, the exchange was double- NOT in my favor.
I had a D.Q. Burger 🍔 and poutine while watching this Darren. I was shocked at the price. I guess, the tourist spots will always be less for more price, as we know but It looked lovely though. Looking forward to seeing more while I chill at my sons place here in equally hot Canada 🥵🥵☺️☺️
Hi dj, Mrs sandwich and I got married in manhattan in 2014 (we’re from the uk). It was a great week; all our wedding photos were in front of the Brooklyn bridge. We’ve not been back since but I can’t wait to go again. Great city. Maybe we’ll get some tips from you on where to eat!
You'll have to go to Greenwich Village and visit The White Horse. Dylan Thomas used to hang out in there. Really interesting images on the walls, etc.
Evidently not quite everybody knows not to fall for the tourist traps, and eat where the locals eat off the beaten track 🤷♂️
Sorry Daren but there are dozens of channels featuring Best Diners...Best Burgers. No excuses for getting robbed😏 Enjoy the stay in NY😘
To be fair he seemed to have just arrived and was hungry. Trust me he'll review some hidden gems soon enough.
@@Billy-ng4ihfair point😳👍
newyork crazy expensive. plus the tip. still love it though. been going there since 1981.
really like your videos have a great holiday and try a philli cheese steak please
Only if I go to Philly
The Beatles played Carnegie hall. If you are in the subway at 57th street, on the tiles you can see all the people that played Carnegie Hall.
BTW it's 7th Ave not street, 7th street is downtown in the village. The burger is typical of those types of places. Jackson Hole in Manhattan have great burgers. If you like smash burgers go to Burger America on Houston (HOUSE Ton) and MacDougal in the village, it is run by burger scholar George Motz (who also is the chef).
Never been to the US but that burger looked like a mcdonalds..hopefully you will find a place that does one of those huge burgers...have a great time in the US..😀
Definite eye opener on the new US prices 😳 I guess gone are the days where food in the US was around half what we'd pay here in Australia but twice the size. Now its double the price and half the size. I mean that being said when you're on holiday you aren't counting pennies so always best to just go with the flow and enjoy yourself fully. The burger was definitely more Penny sized though huh? 😂😂😂
Strewth, for that kind of dosh you could gorge on eight Big Macs in NZ, with about $8 left to feed the parking meter.
Enjoy your holiday. Well deserved. Haters just jealous - ignore. Keep doing what you do best. xxx ❤❤❤
Im disappointed you didnt show us the burger before you bit into it.
You'll always get the keyboard warriors, Darren. Have good time...and try to find reasonable value. 🤣
