new york city has hundreds of neighborhoods but there's always a few that just draw you in
the lower east side of manhattan has always been like that for me and we haven't created a guide
here in almost two years so today we're gonna update things and show you some new places to
shop eat drink and even take some cool photos you don't want to miss this i know that little
italy is right around the corner but if you want authentic roman street food trapazino
right here's the spot this is the only trapezino in the united states and what's incredible it's
just nine dollars we could actually classify this as cheap eats in new york sitting in a beautiful
european style cafe pizza bianca dough and inside the pocket got that meatball just stuffed inside
what a meatball if you put this
on spaghetti and meatballs this would rival anything you get a little italy i would have
paid way more than nine dollars for something this good mix it up with a cocktail or wine
i would say this would be a good date spot as well ben do i need to clean myself here how could you
possibly walk around rome eating this and not getting a messy face i don't know you tell me
i feel very mentally drinking this smokey you feel manly okay i see that
anchovies kind of just like hanging onto the very edge
wow that's a good bite the atmosphere it's perfect i'm definitely going to take my girlfriend
here ben read comments that his girlfriend was imaginary yeah i'm actually going to take my uh my
real girlfriend here such a huge flex especially if you have someone that's from out of town and
you show them something that they'll only get in new york right now that's
major brownie points right there you're out with friends in the lower east side
and you want to go somewhere before going out to a lot of the bars and the clubs here
should be a good spot not too expensive but just right before going out
freeman alley this is on the border of a lower east side absolute hidden gem because there aren't
that many alleys like this in new york city now in the 1980s it was a completely different story
around here in fact rivington street was one of the worst streets in manhattan this is where you
would come to get your heroin fix this area had drug dealers prostitutes and i think a lot of
the people from that era if they were to come back here right now and see the alley now you know they
would be surprised because it has a lot of street art we're going to be passing an art gallery right
here just kind of shows you the changes of new york in the last 40 years as much as i talk about
crime issues it's still nowhere near as bad as it was in the 80s and probably one of the most
unique locations for a restaurant in manhattan is freeman's right here they've been around since
about 2004 so they've got the speakeasy thing down pat i mean this is an interesting spot just
to take photos if you want something different be surprised if most new yorkers even knew what
this was do some tick tock some instagrams over here one of the hidden gems in the area
oh where did that come from where did the random pancake did someone throw pancakes
at them from talking to us yeah some sort of there they just literally just went
this is new york these days you know you're not looking right you'll get a pancake on your head
all my sports fans watching you are going to love this store people always ask me like what kinds
of souvenirs should you buy when you come to new york and i say don't get some lame i love new york
shirt get something that a new york sports fan would wear it's open coming up on almost three
months now i just love this kind of stuff i'm big into sports sports history fashion as well
so incorporate that all together into one thing is really like an awesome thing and i love to be
able to share that with other people and get them into something nice and cool that they appreciate
if you were a customer what would you buy well it all started with the vintage basketball jerseys
the 90s champions jerseys is like a classic thing like i mean you can't go wrong with a
kobe from his rookie champion jersey i love the starter jackets i'm a huge mets fan so this is a
classic the late 80s met starter jacket it's like davey johnson be wearing that exactly 60 bucks for
this yankee jersey here like they actually have really fair prices my favorite player when i was
a kid was patrick ewing oh yeah i'm not an oakland a's fan yankees fan but i just want to see what
this looks like a little tight on me but i mean that's kind of how the cut is supposed to be yeah
that's how it's supposed to be that's the late 80s so this is original late 80s with the tags
from the 90s this one yeah then what year were you born i was born in 1999.
so this jacket is older than you it's actually yeah definitely
it is older than me and look at this they have a special pocket for your iphone or
ipad i really like the story the guy charlie had about selling jerseys i love supporting
like small businesses like that really check out his store check out his store we weren't even
planning on including this in the video i walked by i want a three dollar cookie cookie happy hour
sounds like the best happy hour ever it's like the smell of cookie dough pulls me in you guys
have the three dollar cookies now cool could i do one of the chocolate chip chunks is there
one with the tail in it yeah yeah i'll get that one this like cookie's literally falling apart
you know it really is gooey on the inside the best three bucks i've spent all day although this is
messy as could possibly be how messy is my face on a 1 to a 10 no like a 10 nothing
you're messier earlier with a battalion this is a happy hour i could get behind
i might rather pay three bucks for this than a beer i don't know it would depend on my mood
if you're tired of the typical borrowers of a lower east side sauer mouse has so much to offer
this is the spot to go if you have a group of friends like you're not sure what you want to do
you've got the option of pool you've got beer pong ping pong a lot of booths a bar
as well and the art the art here is one of the most interesting parts i think every
30 days we have a new artist uh which we hang this particular artist's name is sac6
everything that you see here he ripped posters off the streets oh wow and then he repurposed
them does he sell these everything in here is for sale how much would this cost you know
what i'm getting the price list in about a half an hour but if i had to speculate
i would say about three thousand thousand dollars yeah or the average person that comes down here
can't afford that what i did was i went out and i bought uh posters of new york city i
gave each poster to a different artist and they painted over it so for example i gave android
this map of new york and then he did his thing on top of it these i sell for 400 i think i have
viewers who would come in and buy this for sure yeah everything on the wall is for sale the only
thing that's not for sale is me well actually you never know everyone has a price right that's true
you said your wife would like this is the same article yeah it's almost a little banksy-esque no
uh you know what street artist that's kind of their look two guys so there's always
this somewhat of an interpretation it's either banksy or it's mosquito this is sak six so this
is the gentleman that we're doing the the show and this he just ripped off a wall he tagged it
and that was it i'm surprised this is here anything he has done just walks out the door
so this is great you can play ping pong and drink a soju cocktail at the same time
look at that it's actually a really nice drink too
gotta drink fresh if you're into neighborhoods that aren't touristy you've got to check out
this guide we filmed hell's kitchen we go off the beaten path i think you like it a lot
