?

I don't know if you can tell, but it's snowing!

It's the first day of snow today in New York City.

It's a cold day.

It's the first day where we are...

Bumbled up.

Bumbled up?

No, bundled up.

Bundled up.

Head to toe.

I don't feel anything except for my face and my hands.

Everything else is perfect.

This is going to be our first Christmas in New York City.

And there's no place like being here for the holiday.

Today we are having the ultimate Christmas day in New York City.

We are going to spend the day today going all over the town, hitting all the activities, all the spots, all the places to eat.

First on the itinerary is we gotta eat.

We gotta get some food in, we gotta get some coffee in, all the things so that we're ready for a day out and about.

So let's go!

Okay, now don't get me wrong.

We love a good classic brunch vibe, like a French toast, an Eggs Benedict type thing.

But today I'm really craving a classic Jewish deli diner breakfast situation, more of a lunch thing.

I want to get some soup, I want to get some bagels.

So we're headed over to Russ and Daughters on the Lower East Side.

Hopefully it's not going to be too busy because, as I said,

New York is popping.

Everybody's here.

Everybody's going to all the good spots.

Everyone wants to do the cute shit we want to do today.

Exactly.

So it's going to be interesting because I haven't been to Midtown.

I haven't seen any of the busy, cute, Christmassy areas.

I know they're going to be very busy.

Oh yeah.

But we'll see how it goes.

Hi everyone.

We are done.

The food, honestly, it's such a vibe in there.

It's so cute and cozy and warm and just everything.

It was perfect.

It's so good.

Yeah, it's really good.

I'm so excited.

Me too.

Me too.

So right now, we're in New York City.

It is Christmas time.

It's snowing.

How do you feel?

And I feel good.

You know, there's a lot going on.

There's a lot of people.

But it's a vibe.

Because that's what the holidays are.

You know, people are just happy.

People are with their families.

People are with their kids.

And it's hella cute.

Right now, we're getting close to the Rockefeller Center, which is always so busy.

But I want to give you all the Christmassy vibes.

So I'm sacrificing for you guys because I hate crowds.

I have a fear of crowds.

We did it!

Why do I literally feel like a five-year-old right now?

Look at the big house.

So clean.

First person to get in.

It would not be a full Christmas holiday in New York City without going ice skating in

Central Park.

It's just like a must.

Okay, now I'm just waiting for Yoni to be done.

Skates are on.

So crazy because I used to actually be kind of good at this when I was little.

Like I would do like one foot at a time.

Okay, okay, okay.

That's too fast.

Okay, that's too fast.

If I go down, you go down with me.

Look at the city!

Yo, I can't feel my feet.

I don't know.

Yeah, I know.

Yo, yo, yo.

Cute vibe.

It's just so crazy being here ice skating in Central Park because that's so like in my kid head.

That's just the thing I always wanted to do, you know?

Look at that.

So beautiful.

So simple but so beautiful.

So beautiful.

So one more thing that we cannot have an ultimate Christmas day in New York City without is a

Christmas market, a holiday market.

And there's so many around New York.

A lot of people have been saying that the Union Square market is like the best one.

So here we are.

I've actually never been to this market.

I've never been to any holiday market in New York.

What are we looking for?

Today we're looking for hot chocolate.

Yeah, we're looking for hot chocolate.

But I think there's going to be some other things that we're going to get because you can't come to the market and only get one thing.

That's the point.

You come here and you get too many things.

We got the ultimate hot chocolate.

I've been hearing a lot about this.

No chewing allowed hot chocolate.

Okay.

And they put like chocolate.

I don't know.

I tried to get it.

But it's like chocolate candy or chocolate truffle at the bottom and then hot chocolate on top of that.

The chocolate meatness.

Oh my god.

It's so crazy.

Don't exaggerate.

I'm actually not.

Like I know it sounds like it seems fake.

Don't do that thing on YouTube where you try something.

I've never had hot chocolate like this before.

A little too chocolatey for me.

But it is good and it's almost like thick.

Yeah.

It's so thick that it might be like chocolate pudding.

Okay.

So this is supposed to be like European style hot chocolate, which usually is thicker and it's less milky and it's very strong in flavor, which is exactly what I like.

Yo, you know what?

It's really good.

It's really good.

Why does it say no chewing allowed though?

It really tastes like melted chocolate.

It tastes like you can chew the chocolate.

Yeah, exactly.

It tastes like melted chocolate after you bite chocolate and then it melts in your mouth.

Yeah.

Today is a Thursday and I would highly recommend that you come on a weekday because the weekends you can barely walk.

Like at least look, there's like space.

Because during the week, during the weekend, it is, it's not like this.

We've got some curly truffle cheesy fries.

You don't like them?

It's not it.

No, don't get this guys.

It's not bad.

Cheesy french fries, I just can never.

I think it's pretty good.

It's not amazing.

It's not amazing.

And we come here for only amazing things.

So this, if I had to rate it, probably like four out of ten.

Honestly.

Okay.

Yeah.

Fair.

I would give it a five.

I would give it a five.

And then I also got some tomato basil soup.

Now I'm going to lie to you.

You definitely don't come as much for the food as you come for the vibes.

Some people did say that the sweets are a little bit better.

So maybe we'll get like one sweet thing.

The hot chocolate so far is the best thing we've had.

Got a little hot apple cider with some whipped cream and cinnamon.

I was really craving some whipped cream.

It's really hot.

That's like this right here.

Hot apple cider after everything you eat at the market is where it's at.

It's like a palate cleanser, you know?

What would you need after this?

No, after this, I'm done.

Like after this, I'm going to bed.

It's good, right?

It's like the perfect ending.

This is the end of our outing for the day.

We've reached capacity of how far we can stay outside.

I feel like my stomach is like, we tried so many different things.

I don't know what's going on in here.

Yeah, it's like mixing so many different like hot chocolate and then fries and then tomato soup and then apple cider.

We'll find out tomorrow.

So we're going to be heading home now.

Do you want to walk?

I am watching Elf and I'm in bed.

I am so, so cozy right now.

We got a projector.

So we got Elf going on.

It's like this season, there aren't a lot of movies.

Let me turn it down.

There aren't a lot of like great holiday movies available on streaming.

Home Alone, I was trying to watch that.

Holiday, which is like my favorite, all-time favorite Christmas movie, not available.

But I'm just munching on these.

These are Trader Joe's peppermint pretzel slims.

Love.

Like I'm not even a peppermint person, but I love these.

And I'm also drinking some tea.

And I am pretty much ready for bed.

And I just wanted to say that I hope you felt the holiday spirit through this video.

I hope that it's getting you excited for Christmas and the holidays.

And also, I must say that I am very surprised at how excited I actually got when we were like around Rockefeller Center and just walking around.

I tend to romanticize a lot of different things from like movies and especially, you know, living in New York.

But I must tell you that I felt so genuinely happy and like I just felt genuine joy around being outside and being around the city and seeing all the decorations.

And I don't know why it just has this effect on me.

And I've always loved the holidays growing up.

I don't know.

It's just one of those times a year where you get to be a kid again and you get to just feel the joy and the cheer in little things like that and be cozy and drink all the hot chocolate.

And I don't know.

It's just it's a great time.

I am going to continue my lovely evening.

I hope you guys enjoyed this video and you felt all the holiday vibes and all the holiday cheer emanating through the screen as you're watching this.

Thank you for watching.

See you guys next week.

Happy Holidays!
