I Ate In Every 2026 World Cup Host City: New York

This is the most iconic food city in the world… but does New York City actually live up to the hype?

As part of my mission to eat in every 2026 FIFA World Cup host city, I’ve come to New York to find out where really has the best food. From world-famous institutions to local favourites, this is everything you need to eat in NYC.

I started at Katz’s Delicatessen for one of the most famous sandwiches in the world… a towering pastrami on rye that people queue hours for. Then headed to Pizza Loves Emily for their legendary burger, before trying some of the best pizza in the city at L’Industrie Pizzeria.

No trip to New York is complete without a proper bagel, so I stopped by Russ & Daughters, before finishing at John’s of Bleecker Street, one of the most historic pizza spots in the city.

This is not just a food tour. It’s a deep dive into the culture, history and stories behind some of the most iconic food in the world.

The owner of KATZ deli retelling that story of a 94-year-old woman that was crying eating. Her pastrami sandwich was just beautiful.❤

This is actually Food network worthy or tv show worthy.

Great job.

What a kick-off to the series. The access the owners and chefs grant you is the privilege of real recognising real. You can’t blag that kind of mutual respect.

It is so nice to see Katz owner still speaking and sitting with people who are first time visitors.

Now this is a NYC food video. No clear bias, no snide remarks or passive-aggression. Just honest, genuine love for food. Thank you!

Fun fact: Katz’s Deli is where Meg Ryan did her iconic scene in “When Harry Met Sally” - “I’ll have what she’s having”

As a New Yorker, Katz is the most rightfully deserved of all the hype.

I hope this series gains you many more subs from beyond our shores mate. You are a genuine good bloke & I really value what you do. Also how after all this time, with the subs ever growing you still take the time to interact with your viewers. That says a lot about you and why people have come to appreciate this channel. A real person talking to real people about real food. If this series lights up I won't be surprised, can't wait to see it all.

Mate I watched your videos when you were travelling drinking, you then disappeared for a bit (youtubes my only media) came back, with the town series and this you've levelled up so much and this video should be 1m plus by now I'm genuinely like proud, what a video.

My husband and I love your show and watch every episode! But respectfully, I have an issue with you visiting New York City and Brooklyn as part of this series. The World Cup will be played NOT in New York, but proudly in Rutherford, NEW JERSEY. Not only are you overlooking many fantastic restaurants in Rutherford, but Hoboken and Jersey City have outstanding places to eat that are much closer to where the games will actually be played, and don’t require you to drive or take public transport across state lines. I hope you come back one day and do a show on New Jersey, which Anthony Bourdain loved, I think you will be impressed. Come on England World Cup Champs!!!

Funny hearing him describe John’s as “one of my most famous pizzas” after tasting it because although it is famous, the secret is that John’s is very mid pizza, especially after eating Lindustrie
