    Everything looks delicious except the price. The Gnocchi is a no for me even at $10 it is store bought Gnocchi and I can't justify paying that for a pasta you can get for $2 at a Trader Joe's. Thank you for doing this video. I don't and won't buy something just because a so-called influencer is show casing it. Feels inauthentic to me. I trust you and your recommendations. I am wondering did you eat / film this all-in-one day???? I am always amazed at how much you can eat that is a compliment.
    P.s Milano Market on the UWS / Morningside Heights has a-mazing Italian sandwiches worth a visit. Bon Appetit!

    I believe the the bread at All' Antico is a Tuscan bread style called schiacciata which is a little different than focaccia. I think their sandwiches are great, but if you're ever back in NJ try to check out Farinolio in Westfield. Their version of schiacciata is lighter and crispier and I like it a lot more. They also have amazing Italian pastries. My wife and I generally go into the city for great food, but we always say that Farinolio can hang with the best of NYC.

    For 4 years I've lived just a few blocks away from Bel Fries and surprisingly I've never tried them! Just the idea of a pile of fries and sauce never appeals to me as an entire meal. Definitely seems to be a popular spot for the late night bar crowds for obvious reasons. One of these days I'll have to give it a try and perhaps split with a friend, it does look good!

    As a Belgian on this channel i must say
    It's cool that they give it a name like BELfries
    But here...
    Fries are alot different with their sauces
    For instance, we always eat our Fries with samurai or sometimes with mayonaise
    When the fries are crispy and salty, that means you have a good friet (----- Flemish word for fries)
    I've eaten some fries in different kind of cities, even new york, and it could not really stand next to the fries over here
    As for services...
    New York people who work behind the counter, are extremely nice and kind
    Some of that we really dont see it often in some restaurants or stores here
    Next year i'm heading back to new york
    So i'm gonna try this restaurant to see if it lives up to the expection of our Fries
    1 small tip for everybody that are reading this and decides to visit.... Do not buy fries in big name cities like Brussel or Antwerp
    Because they ask alot of money
    Instead...
    Go look for a frituur in 1 of the smaller cities surrounding them
    They coast alot less and they are much tastier 😊
