  8. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, there will be more. Episode 002 is in the early stages of pre-production now and I’m hoping to have it up by April.

  9. Great work. Must say you have made a fan out of me. I’ve been going over your reviews and setting up a tour in March of all your top 8-9 places. Keep them coming!

    BTW. Any tips on where would be best neighborhood to stay in? I’ll mostly focus on Manhattan with the mandatory Brooklyn stops.

  10. Thanks Julio. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the web series and blog!

    As far as where to stay, any neighborhood in Manhattan (below 59th Street, especially) will be easy to navigate from. We have a great subway system and you can get anywhere (including Brooklyn) without too much of a hassle. Some places are a bit further out than others (Di Fara, L&B, etc.) but shouldn’t take more than an hour on the train, at the most.

    Enjoy your NY food adventures and let me know if you need other recommendations!

  11. Wow, Brian, really impressive! The production was very professional. I’d love to talk to you about the cost and process of all that. We could talk over pizza, I gotta get to NY!

  12. Thanks Jim. Let me know when you make it up here. I’d love to grab some pizza. And I know all the good places to go now!

  14. Thanks. I look forward to checking out your work too. Funny, corned beef and pastrami is my current project and we plan to film a segment at Katz’s in the coming weeks. I’m eager to see your take on one of my favorite delis.
