Beschrijving

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.

Ep. 23: Bagels, Bagels, and Bagels — The Story Behind Tompkins Square Bagels

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.
