  • They Shrunk My Burger - How Much? The burgers here look like they have been shrunk, Much smaller than they used to be. So, it begs the question, America, New York are no longer famous for their burgers. #americanburgers #howmuch #newyork #newyorkcity

    DJ - be sure to try the Halal Brothers food cart: rice, salad and chicken shawarma with the best sauces!!! It’s a must try when in NYC!
    Also want to find a good corned beef bagel place to compare to our very own Brick Lane beigels.
    Enjoy your trip. You are right - u r on holiday - normal miserable life can wait till u get back.

    I had a D.Q. Burger 🍔 and poutine while watching this Darren. I was shocked at the price. I guess, the tourist spots will always be less for more price, as we know but It looked lovely though. Looking forward to seeing more while I chill at my sons place here in equally hot Canada 🥵🥵☺️☺️

    Hi Darren, it looked a nice Cheeseburger 🍔 but small, like you said. Wow, £45 but I suppose it was the Brooklyn Diner and across from the famous Carnegie Hall. 🎉 Your Apple pie and ice cream looked Fantastic. America is famous isn't it, for their Apple pie 🎉 was your Rose Lemonade nice. Thankyou Darren for this video. Have you got Jetlag at the moment
