These are the places we all want to go! Kudos to you for hi-lighting these hidden gems.

Genuinely appreciate you giving these restaurants their opportunity to sing. You could have ambushed them with some undercover video for something purely unbiased.. but, y'know, a little bias never hurt no one.

Awesome episode! Great idea to help these places be seen. I remember trying Caravan of Dreams in the late 2000s and being VERY impressed.

Not only giving spots support via exposure, but also literally getting people together for a meal there. Anyone visiting as a tourist got a once-in-a-lifetime experience at a place they probably would've missed. Gotta love it!

Jon, finally got to watch this video - this may be one of my absolute favorite videos you've ever made. Please make this a series, it's a fantastic idea.

"we haven't had a line since pre-covid", in other words you let your quality slip

The prices are probably the reason why the place is empty. This is literally right next to NYU and a gazillion other restaurants. $$$$ expensive diner food is never going to cut it here.

1st time watching and loved your video. Would like to see more like this. Giving back to small businesses is so important in today's economy.

In today's times we really need some positivity. This helps tremendously. If this was a monthly feature I think it would go well.

Really glad you did this. Every little bit helps. It'd be cool if more food YouTubers did something like this...
