      They use Zelinsky for one purpose to get rid of dissatisfied people and the government is aimed and made to solve economic problems by setting up a war and Ukraine another picture to help to get back in power and let the war get rid of pensioners and all debts and unnecessary people once again gets rid of problems, and we people interfere with the rich and incumbent president to manage the war. The president and neither side went to the ceasefire and it means that the genocide in two points was organized, the war helps the economy in the West and was quoted in a Russian newspaper. People have become dumber and do not understand what is happening. And the authorities do not change that they brought to genocide not guilty neither one side nor the other. Media say one thing, victims say another, and presidents do not want to hear another.😢😢😢😢😮

    Go see Billy and his hot dog cart on the corner of W93rd and Central Park West. Delicious hot dogs and pretzels with unlimited toppings for $2 each! He even gave us free drinks and candy for our girls. I couldn’t believe we had lunch for under $10 for our family of 4. My husband tried to give him a $10 tip but he would only take a couple bucks.
    We make sure to see him when we are in the city!

    Emmons Bagels in Sheepshead Bay. Convenient. Get your food .Go on a boat to go fishing or whale watching. I always get good service. But sorry I don't know if it's at or below 5 dollars.

    I'm looking at taking your advice and staying in an air bnb for my trip to NYC in November. I have found a really good apartment for about $1,000 for 4 nights in Brooklyn. But I have just read that this is illegal to do in NY and that its just a matter of time before a listing like theres gets shut down. Reviews go back to June 2022. Is it too good to be true?!

    Hi Sara! I just wanted to thank you for all your videos. My husband and I are visiting NYC for the first time next week, and I've been binge watching your videos the last few weeks. I've even been pining out everyone of your suggestions on Google My Maps. Could you please tell me (if you ever get to read this message), how it's the weather there? I've seen on The Weather Channel app that might be some rain next week? Thank you again. Sending you lots of hugs from Cádiz in Spain.

  • @pi-sx3mb

    Or ... just go in some no-name, hole-in-the-wall, bowling-alley-size deli on a random side street where they will make you a killer breakfast or lunch sandwich to order in less than a minute for about $5. Extra points if they have a "Boar's Head" sign in the window. Pro tip - if you see cops inside getting food (or really any line of locals i.e. construction safety vests and not tourists) it's probably good.
