I'm Jen with The Travel Women, I'm Ariel with Urbanist and today we are exploring
the best places to eat here in Times Square, there are a lot of tourist traps
that tend to be a little bit too expensive and food that's not that great
so it is hard to find some really good places and we recommend the following
best places to eat in all Times Square
Carmine's is one of my top favorite spots it's one of the top ten spots here
in New York City and it can be very popular but it is worth the wait I
actually came here on my birthday. Jollibee, the Filipino fast food chain
just opened a small outpost in Times Square if you're looking for a quick
bite like fried chicken that is actually really good
then come to jollibee for the chicken joy and gravy while you're here try the
sweet spaghetti and for dessert the peach mango pie for musical and amel
come to Ellen start a steiner prayer waitresses and waiters will actually
serenade you over a meal I also highly recommend their shakes but come here
early because there will be a line like the one behind me
ooh one of the best places to get cream puff coffee
bubble tea is here at Bibble and sip double sip is a rarity in Time Square
because sine squared doesn't usually have good coffee shops good coffee shops
you have to go down Soho or to East Village but this place is beyond
extraordinary it's a family-run business and they bake all their goods in-house
here in the middle of Times Square where there are so many chain restaurants is
one of the best taco shops here in New York City let's go
three friends from Mexico and southern California started los tacos numero uno
to bring authentic Mexican tacos to the East Coast despite their success this
place still feels like a small roadside stand with no seating only counters to
eat your food if there is a line usually on the weekends it goes quickly and
trust me it's worth the wait my two favorite taco flavors are carne
asada steak taco and adovada pork taco with small slices of pineapple
on top there's also the pasado grilled chicken or for vegetarians the nopal
grilled cactus when asked if you want corn or flour
tortilla the answer is always a corn I love the rich flavors of the marinated
meats the fresh corn tortillas that are flattened right in front of you and of
course the fact that their guacamole sauce comes on every single taco without
charging you extra and these tacos are super affordable for a New York City
meal cheese lovers can order the quesadilla which are very different than
the American quesadillas but similar to the tacos with cheese there's even a
secret menu with a taco shell made entirely out of cheese I love to order
Mexican Coke or soda which has a sweeter sugar or fresh who goes for juice like
the or Tata which is rice milk with some cinnamon or the Tamarindo made from
tamarind legumes or the homonka which means hibiscus water here we are at
juniors in Times Square New York City which is known for making the best New
York style cheesecake and also the Reuben
and this started in 1950 alway in Brooklyn and it has been expanding all
around the city ever since and this today we went to the huge expansion in
Times Square which was amazing I'm really enjoying I'm not usually a huge
cheesecake man but this one was really good when the super fluffy cheesecake
they still use Philadelphia Cream Cheese as the original recipe from the 1950s
has it and also the still whip it by hand and you can tell you can definitely
taste the difference not just a slice of cheesecake but we decided to go all out
and get a cheesecake on a shake yeah yeah why why me why not have them
separate together exactly we do it big in New York City but the cheesecake
actually originates back to 2000 BC and Isla tsoumas Greece nope and then the
very first recipe written down in English was back in 1319
so we're eating ancient history right here two days thank you so much for
