Josh and Gabby head to Chinatown to visit Nom Wah Tea Parlor, NYC’s oldest dim sum restaurant and a century-old institution tucked away on the historic Doyers Street. Along the way, they debate whether Nom Wah’s food lives up to its legendary reputation or if its biggest draw is the story behind it. The episode wraps with another food pet peeve that proves far more divisive than expected.

Ep. 25: Greek Food, Tourist Traps & NYC Pet Peeves - Anassa Taverna & Hani's Bakery

Josh and Gabby kick things off with a deeper dive into NYC’s most debated food category — tourist trap restaurants. What actually makes a spot a “trap,” and is it about price, quality, location, or just perception? Then they head to the Upper East Side to fork into Anassa Taverna, a bustling Greek restaurant across from Bloomingdale’s that feels like the neighborhood’s unofficial post-shopping dinner hub.  The episode wraps with a no-holds-barred round of dining pet peeves — from lemon-in-water debates to wobbly tables and the small things that quietly ruin a meal.

Josh and Gabby kick things off in the East Village at John’s of 12th Street, one of NYC’s most iconic old-school Italian spots where massive chicken parms, bow-tied servers, candlelit chaos, and a surprise vegan menu all coexist under one roof. Then they head to Mimi’s Frozen Yogurt, a minimalist, Apple Store-style dessert shop where tweens line up for surprisingly good froyo, overpriced toppings, and the occasional $22 reality check. The episode wraps with a ranking of NYC’s best “slop bowl” spots—big, chaotic, no-rules meals that define the city’s food scene.

Josh and Gabby kick off the episode with Gabby’s long-awaited return to The Corner Store to see whether a second visit changes her opinion of one of NYC’s toughest reservations. Then, the two face off in a chaotic chain restaurant guessing game that proves maybe they don’t know America’s finest dining establishments as well as they thought. After that, the episode turns into the ultimate bagel conversation as Josh and Gabby sit down with Chris, founder of Tompkins Square Bagels — one of the most iconic bagel spots in New York City. From building the brand and surviving the NYC food scene to what actually makes a great bagel, Chris shares the story behind the neighborhood staple that became a citywide phenomenon.

Josh and Gabby head to Williamsburg to review I Cavallini, the buzzy sister restaurant to Four Horsemen, to see if it delivers the same magic—or just rides the reputation. From the menu to the vibe, they break down whether it’s worth the trip across the bridge or just another pretty room in Brooklyn. Then, we sit down with Anders, co-founder of SLIK, the East Village candy shop bringing a Copenhagen-inspired pick-and-mix experience to NYC. With 70+ rotating Scandinavian sweets, soft-serve, and a constantly evolving lineup, Anders shares how a group of former soccer rivals turned a shared love of candy into a growing brand.
