Ever wondered what happiness looks like? It’s a room packed with dachshund puppies at @thepuppysphere—and yes, it’s even better than therapy.

We’re talking maximum wiggles, snuggles, and enough puppy energy to make you forget you ever had a bad day. These little hot dogs on legs turned me into a total mushball.

Honestly, I had the best time hanging with @thepuppysphere—can’t recommend this experience enough. If you love puppies (and have a pulse), you need to witness this level of adorable chaos.

Stick around to see who tried to hijack my foot and claim my heart. Spoiler: resistance is futile.

You ever bite into a burger so juicy it deserves its own fan club? That’s @whitmansnyc ! We pulled up to this East Village staple and dove headfirst into a lineup that’s nothing short of legendary.

The Juicy Lucy — a molten core of pimento cheese that erupts with flavor the second you take a bite. It’s messy, it’s melty, it’s magical.
The Classic Whitmans — perfectly seasoned, nostalgic in the best way, with a patty that actually tastes like beef.
The Philly Cheesesteak — not your average corner deli version. Thin-sliced ribeye, gooey cheese, and grilled onions all wrapped in a crusty hoagie that somehow manages to be both soft and crisp.

If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on a true NYC burger institution. Big thanks to @whitmansnyc for letting us indulge like absolute carnivores.

Follow @whitmansnyc and @TheNewYorkCityBroker and tag your crew who needs a proper burger night.

If Willy Wonka opened a playground instead of a ch

If Willy Wonka opened a playground instead of a chocolate factory, it’d look like this.

@completeplayground isn’t just a toy store—it’s a creativity kingdom. Every inch is a color-soaked dreamscape filled with puzzles, sensory stations, and interactive adventures for kids and the grown-ups pretending not to be jealous. Whether you’re 4 or 40, this place makes your imagination do backflips. While your appetite gets satisfied by 10/10 food gourmet (for kids and adults) food options!

From neon tunnels to mind-bending building sets, it’s a full-blown experience—not just a store. We had an absolute blast filming here, and I left with three new obsessions and a mild case of toy envy.

Follow @completeplayground and @thenewyorkcitybroker for more hidden gems around NYC! And if you’re a parent, cool aunt, or just someone who still lowkey misses recess… this one’s for you.

Passover starts tonight — that sacred time of ye

Passover starts tonight — that sacred time of year when Jews gather to retell the story of freedom… while quietly judging each other’s brisket and pretending matzah is edible.

So naturally, I teamed up with @eitanthegoalie to drop a sketch more awkward than showing up to a Seder in a velvet tracksuit. If Curb Your Enthusiasm and a youth group talent show had a baby, it would be this video.

Larry David would either sue us or cast us. Either way, we win.

🎥 Go watch the full shtick — and if you don’t laugh at least three times (not once, not twice, but thrice), you’re probably still bitter about the tenth plague.

Follow, like, comment, and share with the most neurotic Jew you know. Or your chillest goy friend — we don’t discriminate.

If @bigjoegambino2 gives a pizza spot the nod, you already know it’s going to hit.

We pulled up to see Sal at @pozzuoli.pizza and got some absolute standouts! The Margherita — Neapolitan-style, straight from the playbook of the pizza gods. San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and that perfect charred crust.
And the 00 flour pie — next-level dough made with finely milled Italian flour. Light, chewy, crispy edges…it’s all about the texture!

These pies aren’t just good — they’re thoughtful, balanced, and built with real technique. Huge thanks to @bigjoegambino2 for bringing the heat on this one.

Don’t forget to follow @pozzuoli.pizza, @bigjoegambino2 and @thenewyorkcitybroker and tag your go-to pizza crew. This is NYC pizza done RIGHT.

You ever meet someone who can read your mind, blow

You ever meet someone who can read your mind, blow it, then put it back together in under 60 seconds?
That’s exactly what happened when I sat down with the insanely talented @alexvozmagic. I’ve seen a lot in NYC, but this guy left me speechless — and that’s saying something.

From bending reality to making total strangers gasp in unison, Alex doesn’t just do magic — he is magic. The way he connects with people and reads energy is unreal.

I had so much fun interviewing him — and let me tell you, there were moments I had to literally pause and say, “Wait… how did you just do that?”

This is one video you’ll want to watch all the way through.
Trust me, your brain will thank you later.

Follow @alexvozmagic and myself @thenewyorkcitybroker , tag a friend who swears magic isn’t real, and drop a comment when your jaw hits the floor.

This might be NYC’s softest secret — and I don’t mean the lighting.
When I say the gnocchi at @gnocchinyc melts in your mouth, I’m not exaggerating — it’s like little clouds made by Italian angels. Working with them was an absolute blast, from the dreamy pasta spreads to the warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of the famiglia.

The love they pour into every dish is real — and the truffle gnocchi? That’s not food, that’s a lifestyle.

Trust me, you’ll want to see this entire video. If you’ve ever thought you tasted good gnocchi before, prepare to have your standards completely reset.

Follow @thenewyorkcitybroker, tag your pasta crew, and drop a comment with your favorite gnocchi flavor. Let’s show this spot the love it deserves!

@doughdoughnuts isn’t just a doughnut shop—it’s a full-blown dessert experience. The space is bright, welcoming, and smells like heaven clocked in for a double shift.

Let’s talk highlights: the bread pudding was warm, rich, and borderline emotional. The Dubai Chocolate Pistachio? Fancy enough to have its own passport.

The Nutella doughnut hit like a childhood memory and a sugar rush at the same time. And the Hibiscus—delicate, floral, and basically edible art.

This place is already an NYC legend for a reason.

Follow @thenewyorkcitybroker for more fire spots around the city. Huge shoutout to the Dough crew—you guys crushed it.
