hey what's going on guys so this weekend i'm actually in new york and i want to
show you guys around and show you guys why i love new york um being in new york like
the energy in new york is so great there are tons of things to do in new york and i
want to take you guys through some of my favorite things to do in the city
all right so at this very moment i am in times square new york um i believe i am on
36th and broadway um it's a beautiful day uh this is may 1st uh it's a beautiful day
here and it's like um it's not too hot it's not too cold um just right temperatures feels right
so guys it's a pretty hot down here in the subway i feel like i'm sweating already um
and it's also kind of dirty and so i'm trying to make sure i sanitize after touching stuff so
definitely a completely different vibe from l.a all right guys so
now i'm in soho on broadway and princeton and this is legit like
one of the best places to shop while you're in new york because you have almost all the major stores
um have enough store having a presence on soho broadway street there she is hey
so um so guys this is um my good friend Tolu hi she just moved to new york from nigeria
um how are you liking the city it's great it's awesome i love it you love it you're
gonna have to speak a little bit louder for my my audience on youtube i love it here
all right so she um she actually just moved to new york yeah early this year i believe right and um
yeah in january and she's been living in brooklyn
uh since she got here she's a model um she was modeling in nigeria and now she's here trying to
expand her career so i talk to you guys a lot about um being an international model sometimes
you just have to go for it you know and new york is one of the biggest cities um as far as like or
the biggest markets rather as far as modeling so um sometimes you have to move out take a risk and
make it happen isn't that right yeah of course because you'll never know what other what advice
would you give someone in nigeria or in like another country trying to move to become a model
follow your dreams listen to your heart and see where it takes you i never give up
and always always
i don't know i'm stuck follow your dreams listen to your hearts never give up that's what she said
all right guys so um this is new york this is where soho again uh we're gonna are you hungry
okay whenever you get hungry there is this pizza joint called bleaker street pizza
and it's legit it's like my favorite pizza place in the world um i hope they're still
good it's been a while since i've tried them but um i want to show you guys that as well
all right so you know we're still in the pandemic right there's this long line
just to get into the zara and pretty much most of the shops seem to have some kind of line going on
so um yeah i know new york is still a little bit behind as far as the covet numbers there's a line
to get almost everywhere right everywhere trying to go there's a long line even just
the cash outs after you're done shopping is like taking like 30 minutes to an hour so
shopping in new york um at least in soho right now it doesn't look good
so the reason there's a lot of scaffolds like this in new york
is because a lot of these buildings are really old and there was a time
when some of the building windows and some of the bricks were falling off the buildings
and actually killed someone in new york because it like a piece of the building fell off and
hit her on the head and she died so the new york state passed a law that um you know built owners
of buildings that are pretty old after a certain year they have to do maintenance on the buildings
but that's expensive because a lot of these buildings have asbestos
and other things and so they figured it's cheap to just set up a scaffolding like this in the
city to prevent stuff from falling on people's heads so it's supposed to be a temporary solution
just to put scaffold there while they take their time to um i guess do maintenance on
the building but a lot of these scaffolds they've been here for years and it's not going anywhere
please
86th street yeah all right we'll have to we'll have to see about that we have to try other pizza
joints and you crust this thinner the crust is thinner where you went to yeah i really like it
so bleaker street pizza is pretty good um not as great as i remember it to be
i love when i go outside in new york city it's fun it's like it's like i'm one years old and
i'm learning how to walk and talk my mom had me in here when i was eight eight days old
and now i'm 49. people say i get plastic surgery
i said you gotta look close enough when i was in that head-on collision
and that's before they had all this technology
right now you go and the doctor looks at the screen
all right guys so i just linked up again with tolu because yesterday i took her to
um liquor street pizza which i think is one of the best pizza joints in new york and she laughed at
me so today she's taking me to another place that she swears is the best pizza in new york right yes
i swear too well not the best but i think it's the pizza so we've been walking for almost two miles
to find this location and um all i all i can say is that this pizza better be worth it it will be
this one oh you found it francesca's no the pizza can't you see oh i see in your opinion what's
the best pizza in new york uh i used to like straw i used to like strombolis on 12th street
in university place because it had the a lot of tomato sauce it was kind of sweet but they moved
um that one's okay i'm trying to think of what my favorite one is i like the one in the marinade
called sal it's legendary it's up in america new york you heard of it yeah and there's one in white
plains near on mamanic avenue up the street called the italian pavilion that's really good
especially their salad slice it's got really good salad dressing on there's a new one two blocks up
that way that's pretty good on broadway that one is okay i don't mind them they're nice people and
their greek salad's good there all right cool all right we'll take it out thank you very much
this place is called mama's pizza and i've never heard of mama's pizza
i never heard of mama's pizza i never heard anybody say oh you have to come and try mama's
pizza in new york the presentation of the pizza looks a little suspect but i like the fact that
it's thin crust and it actually smells good but let's um let's check this out moments of truth
so oh it's a lot of cheese on this thing yeah so it's super thin crust it doesn't hold form
i typically prefer a pizza to hold its shape i don't want to have to fold it
but if you have to fold this whatever let's give this a try
so i've taken two bites of this pizza
and it's okay however i think that there's much better pizza in new york i don't think this is
it and boliga street fell off a little bit and i don't think liquor street is it either
there's another place i do want to check out in brooklyn called grimaldi's pizza the reason that i
i'm not too high on this piece is because it doesn't have enough sauce i feel like this is
just a thin crust bread and cheese so um i like the pizza to have a little bit more sauce
and also it's not fresh um it was sitting out there a while and it was just reheated in the oven
so they get enough for those things but um not bad for a slice of pizza
you
