    OH MY GOSH THE FIRST ONE IS MY DAD!!!!! I can tell you that they’re ALWAYS that generous with their food, camera or not. He refuses to let people leave with a bad experience. Definitely stop by Eastway Gourmet for good food and nice laughs!!! he has the best jokes :)
  • @georgiasmith7615
    The first place looked the best! You can’t beat the old school bodegas!
  • @chrism.550
    Hey Jon, just wanted to say we spent 2 beautiful weeks in NYC in August literally BASED on your video recommendations. Our 2 kids kept looking for you at every spot, unfortunately we didn’t see you :-) I not only wanted to thank you for your precious content, I also wanted to let you know: We still watch your videos as you can see and miss NYC so much!
  • Nothing better than getting a BEC from the local bodega or deli, and watch it being cooked in front of you. 😊😋
  • @bonniepwtf
    They all looked good but that 1st one looked the best to me. Yum 😋
  • @mustang2005
    The default standard for a New York breakfast. You can get it practically anywhere, and it's hard to mess up unless the roll is stale. Pair this with the classic Arizona iced tea, and that's your classic NYC breakfast. 💯
  • @TheBingBuzz
    So blessed to eat 3 BECs in one day, no wonder New Yorkers are obsessed with it 🎉🎉
  • @ilyaLNYC
    Fun fact. Company producing Arizona Iced tea started in Brooklyn in 1971 and started making teas after Snapple in 1992. And 92 when got to US and was drinking lot of Arizona in 90s :)
  • @shawnryan8345
    Yes! This is the way 😀 To start a day. Ty 4 showcasing an important meal of the day with your friends. Much enjoyed - C U on the next 1✅
  • @saraht5399
    Hey thanks for covering East Way! Live 1/2 a block away and can assure that their sandwiches are ALWAYS this big and delicious, plus the entire staff are some of the nicest people around. All praise to East Way!
  • @Pintexx
    $17 for a BEC is wild. Only ocky way can justify that price because you pay for the entertainment value as well and general ock is a celebrity at this point so it’s well worth it.
  • @TheGV50
    John thanks for making this video, with so much turmoil In the world lately It's nice to escape from this even If it's only for a few minutes! Shout out to Ming & Ben !
  • @N91stormbreaker
    I love when i moved back, i got a bacon egga n' cheese as a first. Part of my childhood and just a memory bomb. Personally, just light black pepper is fine for me since the ketchup can make it too soggy, especially if they make it with some good butter on the roll
  • @mariannakump8857
    Hey Jon! I love when you have Ming and Ben on with you. Bacon, egg, and cheese on a sesame bagel is my favorite, too. I don't use ketchup but if they accidentally added it, I would eat it. My local bagel shop here on Long Island (Avenue Bagel) is a small spot that does everything right. Occasionally, I add home fries to the mix. That's a sandwich that will hold you for hours. It's sad to see so many diners disappearing. A good diner is more than food, it's part of your social life. I love the idea of fusion...Asian or other ethnicities putting their take on classics and new will pump new life into the experience.
  • @JayDillDrums
    Nothing like adding some nicely seasoned and cooked home fries onto the sandwich. Omggggg 😋 literally what I’m eating right now it’s my go to breakfast every morning.
  • @emellsabit9038
