NEW YORK'S BEST CHEAP EATS? Astoria, Queens Food Crawl!

queens is one of the top places in the world to try diverse food today we're going to be sharing the best cheap eats in astoria from mexico to greece italy and more get ready for today's co-host i wanted somebody that was born and raised right here in astoria and do i have the perfect person for the job hey i don't think astoria gets enough credit for his cheap food scene compared to places like chinatown flushing jackson heights but today i'm going to show you some awesome places there's nothing like the smell of a fresh bagel place yes yes yes [Music] everything bagel cream cheese uh no no need toasted all right all right let's go i just have to say that is the largest mini bagel i've ever seen before this is the regular that's the mini this is this crazy okay ready one thing that is never lacking in a new york bagel is cream cheese you always get so much cream cheese this bagel is just pillowy soft when you bite into it it's so doughy i am really picky on bagels and i'm very impressed with this i tried a new flavor today the jamaican jerk cream cheese and this thing is so packed with flavor it really tastes like a jamaican barbecue meat it's awesome oh my gosh tell us in the comments would you try jamaican jerk cream cheese i love cream cheese how much there's no shortage of it on there either i love the bread because it's really soft in the middle but it's crunchy outside so you have both crunchy and soft [Music] you're just bought by a garden of bagels growing is there is there is there a bagel seed somewhere that we didn't know about it spring is coming you can see the bagels growing this is the most unassuming pizza place ever you could put this anywhere in the u.s seriously got a pac-man here cheap eats and a 25-cent arcade machine that's me and my father year 2000. this is outside around mid-80s again look at that that's big and i feel like you can't do a cheap eats video in new york without including a pizza place so samaria pizza if ken says it's good i'm gonna try this here we go a lot of cheese not a ton of tomato sauce good crunch just solid solid slice for 250 if i lived in astoria this would be my neighborhood spot for sure and it's really big too i think in new york if it's not dollar pizza you know it better be a big slice and you get plenty of value here this is a dollar pizza places they can't really compare to this i mean you get quality here look at all the cheese on it let's go for it man you bite into it that crunch that cheese oh man it's great absolutely awesome so there's a mexican grocery store but we got to go to the back for this so normally you can sit in the back here but due to covid that is not available i've had some amazing meals in the back of grocery stores and queens like this three tacos one carnitas two kane asada it's my favorite bread right there crancha i have a flavor here sweet crispy wheels listo vamos i always say the best tacos in new york are in queens this is really nice my carnitas plenty of meat cilantro onion i'm not even putting any salsa we're just gonna take one big bite not bad at all these are the kind of tacos you normally eat on weekends for breakfast right in mexico yeah for brunch these are these are like the mexican brunch tacos you'd eat in mexico in the morning on the weekend and that's completely the vibe i get just taking a bite of it you know queens continues to live up to the hype when it comes to mexican food definitely one of the easiest burrows to find good mexican granite i don't normally think of astoria i typically think of jackson heights or elmhurst but it's good to know you can get this in astoria i don't think these are the best tacos in queens but for astoria it's great for the neighborhood and for 250 can't go wrong with these [Music] astoria is home to a lot of greek people and this is the best group supermarket in [Music] queensland [Music] very nice taking care of dogs i can't do it for free we have musica which is like greek lasagna now astoria has the largest greek community in new york city ten percent of the population here is of greek descent we covered king savlaki in another video about a story of putting a card to it i know a lot of you would say why didn't you go there we wanted to go to the greek supermarket look at this food lamb cream potato looks like a little lasagna crust i've honestly never tried this before let's do it um where to begin i don't know if it's like the creaminess when you take a bite the lamb is just so flavorful for 14 you could easily split this in two or three but personally if you're really hungry i think this would be great for even one person this is so good seriously and it's so big [Music] sorry guys i'm gonna finish it yeah wait whoa whoa we still have other people need to eat it greek eggplant bechamel cream lamb oh my gosh look at all this goodness i got all the layers there let's try this thing one big bite everyone knows the rules all right bar still sports [Music] awesome man you got the lamb in there it's very filling and flavorful you got the potato it's very warming oh my gosh i like how your eyes are still closed you were actually envisioning the feelings that you i know i was like wow it's like so much flavors in this eggplant it's unbelievable so this place is called the sandwich king of astoria the whole place smells like peppers crazy what the heck is the bomb everything fully loaded yeah we'll get the bomb okay we're including half off [Music] feel how heavy this is let me see let me see this is this is one sandwich and two bottles of coke this is unbelievable oh my gosh i can't even fit this around my whole arm guys i have the ingredients of the bomb there's so much to this we actually have to read it okay thin sliced salami ham turkey pepperoni mortadella provolone cheese american cheese lettuce tomato peppers deli mustard and a pinkish dressing that looks like thousand island i think 11.99 and this could feed a family of four i think so we're stretching the cheap eats in this video to not just to five dollars or less but good things to share this reminds me of the monster sandwich from sarge's deli but much cheaper like much much cheaper all right about 15 ingredients in one bite let's see if i can do it this is like eating an entire deli in one bite like with almost every single possible ingredient here it's like a workout for your mouth to actually eat everything i'm just willing to get dirty for you guys i'm willing to do dry cleaning for you guys where to even begin how many meats are in this thing i don't even know what i'm tasting there's like everything in your mouth the more you eat it the more you eat it the more flavors you taste it's like it's a never-ending cycle of flavors i don't think most people realize how big astoria is five different stops on the end two different stops on the r train we've been running around this area a lot today oh yeah there's good plus all of us yeah it's really spread out that's something you need to know this is my favorite cheapest place in astoria the prices here for italian sit-down dinner food here or lunch can't be beat i haven't found a place like this anywhere else in the city where you can get like chicken marsala for 12 bucks because when i go to manhattan i see this dish it's usually like 25 and up 11.95 i know that's been the theme of this video damn it's a lot of food i feel a little bit bad giving away action kid's favorite local cheap spot he's never put this in a video before right never let's see what the 1195 chicken marsala is like little pasta too this is a good neighborhood spot that you just take your friends to when you're visiting that you know won't cost a lot of money and that's no frills every neighborhood needs in a little italian joint like this just to have two people 12. sign me up for that like definitely sign me up for that excellent as always i mean very flavorful they give you so much for the money excellent i think the reputation for storia is like overpriced food lots of like expensive stuff trendy stuff but they don't realize there's a lot of like hidden gems like these in the story we can get a lot of food for a reasonable price and if you guys want a part two or have other suggestions tell us in the comments for sure
