Shadowing Practice: I Visited Tiny Stores - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
the world's smallest pizzeria, the world's smallest store, and even the world's tiniest park.
2
These are just a few of the tiniest places in the world
3
that I'll be showing you today to answer the age-old question, does size really matter?
4
Because maybe these little shops are actually better than the big ones.
5
So let's go ahead because we have a lot to explore, kind of, but let's assess.
6
Hey guys, we are about to eat at the smallest restaurant in the entire world.
7
It's called Pizza Pod, and it's a literal pizzeria that is out of a smart car.
8
So as you can see over there, it is a full setup.
9
He has an oven in the back in which he literally cooks up the pizza, and it is the smallest restaurant by far.
10
It's not even possible to get smaller.
11
Like, it's literally in a smart car.
12
And they have, like, a little dining area over here where you can sit down and eat.
13
This place has been going viral because of how tiny it is.
14
But I want to see if the flavor is greater than the size of the place.
15
All right, let's go.
16
Brad?
17
Hey, how's it going, Sam?
18
Sam, what's going on, man?
19
How are you?
20
Great to meet you.
21
This is Brad, guys, the owner of PizzaPod.
22
Here we have it.
23
New York City's smallest pizzeria.
24
I was saying, though, do you think it's the smallest restaurant in the world, technically?
25
Because it can't get smaller than a smart car.
26
I don't think it gets smaller than that.
27
Right?
28
Like, this is the size of the restaurant.
29
So this is the single oven that's responsible for cooking all the pizzas.
30
Yeah, and that's the generator for all the power
31
and stuff That's cool seating area could probably seat four people at this restaurant now it is mobile
32
So I think Brad does a lot of events
33
and they'll constantly be in different areas But right now we're on 54th Street
34
and 10th Ave So this is where it's going to be parked for the day Let's go ahead
35
and try the pizza and see what this tiny pizzeria is like I actually think can I do the guava pepperoni?
36
So guys, there's a pepperoni pizza with guava on it, which I've never seen before but that sounds fun So I'm gonna get that.
37
All right, let's see if I would have got a free pizza.
38
I guess not, it's three in a row?
39
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40
All right, so I already lost.
41
What else is new?
42
I don't think I've ever made a basketball shot when it mattered.
43
So Pizza Pod pairs with some of the neighboring restaurants.
44
So right now we're on 54th Street and Dream Talk is the cafe which they partner with.
45
So while we're waiting for the pizza, I'm gonna get an iced tea here.
46
Perfect combo.
47
Hi, how are you?
48
We heard you guys are partnering with Pizza Pod.
49
Right now we're at Dream Talk And it's not a tiny place, it actually has a good seating inside, so it doesn't fit the theme of the video,
50
but nonetheless, super nice crew here and really nice place, good music boppin'.
51
All right guys, so just retrieved our iced tea, and I think the pizza's almost ready now.
52
Looks like there's actually a couple of people now waiting.
53
That is looking good, decided to dive into that.
54
Oh, thanks so much, man.
55
Okay guys, let me show you what this looks like here.
56
Ooh, you know what, that's like the style I like too.
57
All right, let's dive into this.
58
So this is the guava pepperoni.
59
I'll get a slice that has some guava on it.
60
Made out of a smart car, can you believe it?
61
Bro, actually elite pizza.
62
Out of a smart car and they're cooking up, nine out of 10 pizza.
63
Pepperoni with guava, shout out pod pizza.
64
Really cool restaurant, smallest in the world.
65
Okay, guys, we are currently outside of the self-proclaimed tiniest store in New York City that is 50 square feet, and it's called Dr. Silfman's, and they sell things like candles, soaps, and grooming.
66
It's 5 by 10 feet, which means that the width of it is probably the length of my wingspan, and we're just talking to one of the employees out here, Josh, and he's going to give us a little tour of the inside.
67
We're going to see what it looks like because this is 50 square feet.
68
Think about that.
69
That's literally just like a sidewalk square, but it's a super popular store.
70
They even have a sign that claims it to be the tiniest store.
71
That's actually, interestingly, Leon the tiniest chalkboard I've seen.
72
Let's go ahead and go inside and check out these products.
73
It's cozy in here, of course.
74
You know what, despite it being the tiniest store, it actually does feel spacious.
75
Like, I feel like you could fit five people in here and still walk around.
76
Five?
77
Five is about to look.
78
Is that the liver?
79
Yeah, our candles are all actually lotions.
80
The candles are lotions?
81
You take a dip and you can moisturize right from the liquid.
82
Wait, what?
83
I've never seen that before.
84
So we're the original body lotion candle.
85
There are many imitators at this point, but we've been doing it for 23 years.
86
We came up with the idea.
87
Alright, I mean, and then back here is just additional.
88
Yeah, we got some shower steamers and bath bombs, which are fun.
89
And then it's, yeah, it's like back stock and then kind of like additional items around here.
90
So my steady fella, he's always here, cracking jokes, hanging out with me while I'm in the store.
91
This sink used to be a prison sink.
92
Prison sink?
93
Wow, it's also like the tiniest sink I've ever seen too.
94
Yeah, it actually works, too. Does it?
95
Yeah.
96
Dr. Silkman's rosemary and mint hand soap in the world's tiniest sink in the world's tiniest shop.
97
And it's a prison sink.
98
There's so much lore to this place.
99
There is a lot of lore to this place.
100
Wow.
101
This is what it looks like empty, and now this is what it looks like.
102
All right guys, so that is Dr. Silkman, which is a 50 square foot shop here in New York City.
103
One of the smallest, self-proclaimed smallest in New York City, maybe in the world, too.
104
50 feet's crazy small, but I was able to get some lotion candle, which is pretty insane.
105
So I'm going to have this in my house now.
106
Super cool item.
107
A really cool spot.
108
Definitely recommend checking it out if you're ever in Soho in Manhattan.
109
All right, let's hit another tiny shop.
110
Okay, guys, we are approaching the smallest shop in all of New York City.
111
It's called Cave and Candy, and this thing is 40 square feet.
112
And apparently it's only three feet wide, which means like this is the width of this entire store.
113
It's a smoke shop, so they have certain paraphernalia, some candy, things like that.
114
They're open till like 5 a.m.
115
Pretty interesting store.
116
So we're going to go in and see what they have.
117
I'm going to purchase an interesting item hopefully talk to the shop owner
118
and see what's up with the smallest shop in all of New York City.
119
Look how crazy this is.
120
Cave and Candy.
121
Hey guys, we're inside now.
122
This is what the size looks like.
123
So it's about three feet wide and they have a lot of interesting paraphernalia as mentioned.
124
They even have labubus as well.
125
Messy themed things.
126
And as I mentioned, you can get a lot of different snacks.
127
They got candy here.
128
Really cool spot.
129
They also have like medicine and stuff too.
130
And this is a total of 40 square feet in here.
131
They have an ATM as well.
132
So I think it's cash only perhaps.
133
But yeah, we're going to get the David Bar and some Trident gum.
134
Keep things skinny because we're going to a lot of other places after this.
135
Really cool spot.
136
Smallest store that you'll probably ever see.
137
Maybe there's some smaller ones, but technically speaking with everything that's built out, this is going to be the tiniest.
138
Four feet.
139
No, no, six feet.
140
Six feet and two.
141
Six and two?
142
Yeah, six by two.
143
Okay, so six feet by two feet.
144
That's so cool.
145
How long have you had it for?
146
Seven years.
147
Seven years?
148
Really nice shop owner offering us some waters as well because we're in here.
149
Great experience.
150
All right, we made it out.
151
Tiniest shop in New York City.
152
I'm about to go to the tiniest freestanding fast food restaurant in the entire world, and it's this Dunkin' right here behind me.
153
So technically you could find smaller Dunkins like storefronts and stuff that are part of strip malls, but this Dunkin right here for a standalone building is the smallest that you'll find.
154
And actually, interestingly, across the Dunkin on the other side of the plaza is another Dunkin with another drive-thru.
155
I don't know if it's the same owners.
156
I don't know what's going on there, but we're going to investigate one, why is this store so tiny?
157
And two, why are there two Dunkins within literally a hundred feet of each other, both with drive-thrus?
158
All right, let's go in the car and check this out.
159
Look how tiny that is.
160
It's just like an ultra mini Dunkin.
161
And I think it's just a drive-through now that I'm looking at it.
162
I guess we're just going to order here.
163
But like, how do they have enough items in there to serve all the people?
164
This is so tiny.
165
It's like a little stand.
166
Yeah, I mean, it looks like a full menu.
167
Hi, how are you?
168
Can I please have a medium unsweetened iced tea?
169
Anything.
170
Are you able to go inside or is this just drive-through?
171
Yeah.
172
Okay.
173
All right, that's it.
174
So there's a little like pickup window there.
175
I kind of want to like look on the inside.
176
So it looks like they do have donuts available.
177
I was thinking maybe they just had munchkins or something, but they have a full suite of donuts, but the inside is really tiny.
178
So we'll show you when we get out of the car.
179
But if you look across the street there, you'll see the other Dunkin' sign that also claims to have a drive-thru.
180
Is this the smallest Dunkin'?
181
Smallest Dunkin'.
182
Smallest Dunkin'.
183
So now we're gonna investigate this Dunkin' drive-thru and see like why there's literally two tiny Dunkins right next to each other.
184
But that one's a storefront one, so it doesn't count, but that one is just like super tiny.
185
Hi, can I have the King Kylie Vanilla Pink Cloud Latte?
186
Do you guys also own that Dunkin' over there?
187
Yeah, we do have the same Duncan.
188
Oh, that's cool.
189
That's like the tiniest Duncan I've ever seen.
190
Yeah, he just, he just arrived.
191
Is it the same owners though?
192
Yeah, he's the same.
193
Oh, that's cool.
194
Nice to meet you, man.
195
You know, like and subscribe, my boys.
196
Like and subscribe.
197
All right, thanks, Ali.
198
You heard Ali.
199
So both locations are owned by the same owner, and he also confirmed that it's the smallest Duncan in the world in terms of standalone Duncans.
200
And who would have thought?
201
Just right here.
202
If you heard the man, like and subscribe.
203
Shout out to Ali.
204
Shout out to Duncan.
205
We love Duncan.
206
Super tiny Duncan tiniest Duncan you could ever see, like right there.
207
So pretty cool.
208
Okay guys, we are heading to one of the tiniest parks in America
209
and it's the smallest park in New York City and it's a public park.
210
Like I own this or if you live in New York, your tax dollars contribute to this park we're about to get to.
211
It's called Septicuissimo Uno, which is 71 in Latin and this is it right here.
212
So it's 0.04 acres, which is 1700 square feet, which means you can walk this entire thing in less than 30 seconds.
213
What's cool about this park as opposed to some other public parks
214
that are just like little squares of grass
215
that are technically owned by the public is
216
that they actually have a lot of proper benches
217
and as you can see in there right now there's actually somebody hanging out in there
218
so let's go inside let's see what this tiny park is all about
219
because this is one of the tiniest parks you'll ever see
220
here's some of the public hours of the park i don't know why
221
but it's also in chinese that's kind of interesting that's something
222
you see in new york a lot they do have like other languages as well like spanish
223
but chinese is interesting maybe they're funding this it's a pretty
224
nice park despite being the smallest park it's just wedged between two brownstones
225
so you'd really have no idea that this was here.
226
You'd probably just pass it because it almost looks like a private garden.
227
Here's some of the benches.
228
I have my own bench.
229
Throwback to that.
230
I think it's gone now though, but this one's dedicated to somebody.
231
And then this is the limits of the park.
232
So that entire walk I just did, that is the entire length of it.
233
And then they have this little fence up that kind of goes into the power area, but it's cool.
234
There's ivy growing all over the buildings, flowers that are overgrown.
235
It makes it very garden-esque.
236
It's a cool overall park.
237
I don't know why there's like a lock on these, tethered together forever, I guess.
238
These benches are actually not taken, so I wonder if there's a play for me to put a plaque on here eventually.
239
Septa Gawissimo.
240
So that's 70, and then Uno is 1, because it's on 71st Street.
241
But it used to be a parking lot, and then sometime in the 1970s, the mayor was like, yo, let's make this a park, and everyone was like, sure, this is a great place to put a park.
242
Which I guess, I mean, it's definitely nice, it's quiet.
243
I can see myself doing some light reading here.
244
This is ironically one of the best parks and most peaceful parks I've been in, just because there's no people.
245
I don't like a park with a lot of people.
246
They even have a garbage.
247
Let's see how much trash is being thrown out in the Septigoissimo Uno garbage.
248
Actually a good amount.
249
You know what?
250
That's probably like months worth of garbage because nobody comes in here.
251
And then when you exit, you just have normal brownstones and buildings right next to it.
252
And you're back in New York.
253
So that is one of the tiniest parks in America and the smallest park in New York City.
254
And it has 10 benches, private garden in the back.
255
You'd never know who's there.
256
All right, let's move on to our next tiny place because it only gets tinier.
257
This next one's like this.
258
Like you're not even able to see it.
259
So zoom in right now on your YouTube page.
260
All right, let's go.
261
Behind me is the smallest piece of private real estate owned in the entire world.
262
And I'm not talking about the bar right here.
263
I'm talking about this triangle right here.
264
It's called the Hess triangle.
265
And as you can see, property of the Hess estate, which has never been dedicated for public purpose. So petty.
266
But basically, there's a lot of eminent domain happening in New York City sometime in the 1900s, and they missed a spot.
267
And basically, the family of this wanted to dedicate
268
that entire area to the public
269
but then another part of the family said no we want to keep it private
270
and then they ended up keeping that little space completely privatized
271
so it's sitting right outside of my Molly bar here in the West Village
272
and that little piece which I'm about to stand on right now is technically private property
273
and I can get arrested for filming on this property
274
so we have to be quick because it is dangerous and it is in fact illegal Thought I heard the cops.
275
I wonder how this bar feels, though, of having a little tourist spot and private thing right outside of their bar.
276
Alright, you guys step on it so you guys do something illegal now.
277
Just trespassing on private property.
278
Alright, cool.
279
I'm standing behind the densest restaurant in the entire world, which means it has the most restaurants per square footage.
280
And that's because it's a combination restaurant where we have an Annie Ann's a Cinnabon
281
and a Carvel all in one tiny store So technically speaking
282
if you took all three restaurants
283
and then divide them into three based on the square footage It would actually be smaller than the pizza pod
284
that we saw earlier in this video
285
But I'm always interested in these combination restaurants that the quality holds up
286
So I'm gonna get an item from each
287
because how can you simultaneously have a pretzel factory an ice cream factory and a bakery?
288
Let's go in and find out and they're open till 3 a.m.
289
Just insane just so much stuff happening here This is in Times Square too, so it makes sense The smells, there's like three different types of smells at once.
290
Hey, what's going on, man?
291
How are you?
292
Um, deciding what to get.
293
There's so many options.
294
Do you guys combine any of the things?
295
Like, do you do cinnamon rolls with Carvel ice cream?
296
Yeah.
297
Oh, really?
298
So, yeah, can I do, I guess, um, one cinnamon roll, and then I'll do a cinnamon pretzel.
299
And then Carvel, oh, yeah, look at that.
300
Just missing like a Basking Robbins or something.
301
Ooh, that looks good.
302
Cinnamon roll from Cinnabon with the Carvel vanilla ice cream on top true combination just density okay
303
so the densest restaurant really nice in there highly recommend checking them out especially
304
if you like one of those three that we just saw
305
but they were able to put the carvel ice cream on top of the cinnabon
306
and now i'm going to smush it between two any ants
307
pretzels just to make the densest food inside of the densest restaurant look at
308
that guys and even though it was a tiny restaurant in there it was actually pretty big
309
but again it's housing three brands under one roof i call this bite the ant carbon
310
and it's a combination of everything Carville ice cream, Annie Ann pretzel, and Cinnabon.
311
How does it taste?
312
First person in history maybe to do this.
313
Not good for your tiny ways.
314
That's good.
315
So Cinnabon, Carville, Annie Ann's, shout out to them.
316
Combination restaurant, densest in the entire world.
317
Let's move on and see another tiny spot.
318
Okay, guys, I am currently at the tiniest library in the entire world, and there's actually a chain of them.
319
They're called Little Free Libraries.
320
You may have seen these before, so I think maybe it's only in the Northeast.
321
It might be across the United States.
322
It's definitely not global, but they have these free libraries We can basically put
323
and take books if you want free books
324
and on this one You'll see little free library take a book leave a book.
325
It's also getting close to lantern fly season
326
So they have some warnings here for some of the locals
327
and inside what you'll see is a bunch of different books and knickknacks And there's some pretty decent ones.
328
I mean look at this fault in our stars.
329
Interestingly.
330
This is a youtuber book The guy who made this is a youtuber.
331
Isn't that funny?
332
And what else do we got even some picture books tomorrow?
333
Most likely and even some trivia for the toilet.
334
Let me ask you guys a question here.
335
Which youtuber are you currently watching? Are you subscribed?
336
Why not?
337
You can change that by just clicking the subscribe button?
338
That is true.
339
That's good to know.
340
Alright, so I did not bring a book, but I do want to leave something in this library for somebody to take.
341
And I'm not going to tell you where this library is, but if somebody were to find this little library right here, they are getting a Sambucha action figure.
342
In the flesh, I'm going to tuck this right behind some of the books here.
343
He is officially in there, in the world's tiniest library, ready to be taken by one of yous.
344
And again, I'm not going to reveal where I am.
345
I'm somewhere in New Jersey.
346
That's all I will say.
347
But pretty cool.
348
It's a really good idea.
349
I like that they do these free little libraries, but that is the tiniest little library that you can find.
350
Very cool.
351
So I was looking up what the tiniest Airbnb in my area is because I, of course, wanted to stay there for the video.
352
But then as I was scrolling, I came across this video right here and check this out.
353
I mean, obviously absurd.
354
It's an absurd claim to think that you could just like throw it like a grenade and then bam, pops up this like garden igloo tent thing.
355
And so I thought this was a scam, But then I found this on Teemu for $300.
356
We have the outdoor bubble tent garden gnome, and it looks exactly like we saw in the video.
357
So I figured instead of going to the tiniest Airbnb, why don't I buy this and just make the world's tiniest Airbnb?
358
Complete with a bed, a couch, and some decor in it.
359
And then people could stay there if they want.
360
Because that's honestly better than just like staying at one, because I think I can make a better one, honestly.
361
So let's go ahead and buy this.
362
I don't know how long it's going to take to come, but when it does, I will be the official owner of the world's tiniest Airbnb, and I'll give you guys a tour.
363
All right, let's fast forward.
364
I don't even know how long.
365
Maybe like a week or so, hopefully.
366
The world's tiniest Airbnb is officially up and running, and I'm very excited to show it to you guys.
367
So close your eyes.
368
We're about to pan over in three, two, one.
369
This is what it looks like.
370
This is the Sambucha Igloo, officially open for anybody that wants to come here.
371
Five-star stay.
372
World's tiniest Airbnb.
373
Let me give you a quick tour.
374
You guys are allowed in.
375
So over here, this is the entrance.
376
A little zipper, kind of like a tent.
377
And when you come inside, you're met with a ton of different decor and seating options, including, of course, we need a gorilla here because everyone needs a gorilla.
378
So we have a mini gorilla seat Christmas tree because we're starting to enter the fall winter months.
379
And so it's going to be nice to have this up a little bow just because dress it up a little bit.
380
And then this is the lounger that you sleep on.
381
This is like as good as like an eight sleep memory foam mattress, whatever.
382
Like, look at it.
383
Perfect sleep.
384
You got like, I don't even know, you'll get 30 hours of sleep on this thing.
385
I forgot we were doing a house tour.
386
And then there's a lot of lights all around.
387
LED.
388
That's not true.
389
But they're really nice string lights put up and everything.
390
And then look at the outside from looking in.
391
Just to show you the dimensions of this, to confirm it to be the tiniest Airbnb, it is 60 square feet.
392
So this thing is not that wide.
393
But it does feel a little bit spacious, right?
394
And then the top of it is probably like, I don't know, eight feet high.
395
There's enough room where you could breathe and kind of hang around in here, maybe get a little fitness in as well when you wake up in the morning off your bed.
396
But it is still nice, tiny, and cozy.
397
And it is officially the world's tiniest Airbnb that is open.
398
So if you guys want to stay here, if you're a YouTuber that's doing like, oh, quirky Airbnbs, stay here.
399
It's officially open for about three months.
400
I'll have this open.
401
Okay, guys, I'm standing in front of the world's smallest museum.
402
Unfortunately, it's closed right now.
403
It's kind of seasonal with when it opens.
404
But you can actually see through this window here what the exhibit looks like.
405
It's called MMMMuseum, so like 4Ms then U-Z-E-M.
406
And inside you can see, it looks like right now the collection inside here is just a bunch of different rocks.
407
There's actually like a something happening in the background on that phone.
408
It looks like a movie's playing, some explosions and stuff.
409
It's very interesting.
410
And of course it's the smallest museum because it is no greater than my wingspan, which is about 8 feet or so.
411
So it's probably like an 8x8 if I had to guess, based on how tall I am and stuff.
412
And what's cool is that this is in an elevator shaft.
413
So this entire thing is basically the size of like a freight elevator.
414
Something that you'd expect to see inside of a factory or something.
415
But unfortunately, can't access it.
416
But while we're passing, I wanted to show it to you at the very least.
417
But here's some footage of what it would look like if it was open.
418
Use your imagination.
419
And actually, right next to the closed world's smallest museum is the world's smallest bathroom.
420
I'm not going to go in there, though, because it's a New York City public bathroom, and it's probably disgusting.
421
And it actually even has a lock on it, because even the cities, like, do not go in there.
422
But tiny bathroom, tiny museum, very cool.
423
But let's move on to the next spot that's even tinier.
424
So cute little spots.
425
So that museum was closed, but there's actually even smaller museums that I found, And there's four of them in the area
426
and you have to like stumble on them randomly
427
and we actually just found one right here
428
So try to guess what's inside it
429
because I have no idea what this is gonna be But one of the world's smallest museums right here.
430
I mean look at this It's a display of like actual mini paintings
431
So real artists come in and paint this
432
and they just like stash them around the city Here's some more information on them.
433
Feminist acts of rebellion They actually have solar panels on top of them
434
so they could power it with some lights
435
So at night you could visit it as well
436
because it's obviously a 24-7 exhibit Pretty cool
437
that they commissioned artists to make these different things and stash them around the city.
438
And in this case, I mean, if you zoom in close enough, it looks like a real museum.
439
The scale is only apparent when, like, a big person is next to it.
440
But take a look at it when it's close up.
441
Two of four, because I found another one right here.
442
Let's see what's inside of this one.
443
The second world's tiniest museum.
444
Oh, look, the lights are working and everything.
445
This looks to be some wilted flowers, maybe?
446
With clay stars and black stone on the bottom.
447
I'm not really sure what it's meant to represent.
448
I'm not a big art head, but let me know what your interpretation of that is.
449
Two of four down.
450
This one, I think I like a little bit less than the first one, because the first one was just a classic gallery.
451
This one's more like interpretive, free, expressive, like, art, which I don't get.
452
But maybe you guys get it.
453
Looks pretty cool.
454
I guess I could scan right here.
455
I'll let you guys know.
456
Okay, here we go.
457
This is Yvonne Duck is the artist.
458
And they are wilted flowers, I believe, with alabaster stone mixed with resin and roots.
459
Good job, Duck.
460
Okay, we have two more.
461
So we're gonna search around.
462
Hopefully we could find them.
463
They do seem pretty difficult to come by I think there's a map online, but I kind of like the scavenger hunt interpretation of it
464
So let's go through and find the last two tiniest museums in the world.
465
It's pretty cool All right.
466
I found the third one here.
467
Oh, there's actually a lot here It's on their lawn, but there's a couple of interesting ones here
468
So this one here is some moss
469
and some rusted figures This is made of copper wire mesh
470
and sheet and this is meant to symbolize things that fly crawl and tremble It's like imagination themed, which we love.
471
This is a creative channel.
472
All right, pretty cool in there.
473
I mean, take a look, guys.
474
Looks like there's a lot of inspiration from different bugs.
475
And actually note what the bugs are on the side, where the inspiration comes from.
476
All right, guys, I found the fourth and final tiny museum right here, and I'm excited to see what's inside.
477
Wow, a bunch of jellyfish and it's string, yarn, and some ribbon that is basically the tentacles.
478
Very cool here.
479
I mean, this one is definitely my least favorite, I'm not gonna lie, because it's pretty empty otherwise.
480
So we did not end with a bang
481
but it looks like this person is very interested in durable
482
plastics strewn along the beach more prevalent than sea glass I don't know what that means, but that's the final tiny museum We hit them all
483
and there is nothing in the world that's tinier than this
484
when it comes to displays We're about to go in Cave
485
and Candy's competitor for the smallest But they don't have their actual listed square footage, but it's called just smoke shop
486
and it's here in the financial district of New York City I haven't actually seen the inside
487
So I don't know if it's going to be smaller than the 40 feet
488
or so that we saw inside of Cave and Candy Let's go inside and see what this is about
489
I think it's actually a little bit bigger here.
490
I think the size of this would probably be something like 75 square feet.
491
Because there's actually ample room, can fit a lot more than the other one.
492
Very similar items sold here though.
493
We got candy, we got drinks, paraphernalia, all those sorts of things.
494
Also much taller ceilings.
495
All right guys, so I would say that isn't as impressively small as the cave and candy one, but it was still pretty small in there.
496
But the ceilings were higher.
497
I mean, they served a lot of similar items in there but overall, it's still one of the smallest stores in New York City, probably sub 100 square feet.
498
And once you get into that territory, rent's probably like $1,000 a month, which in New York is very cheap.
499
All right, guys, that's it for me.
500
Let me know which one was your favorite.
501
But with that being said, thank you guys so much for watching.

Why This Video Is Perfect for English Speaking Practice
This video is a goldmine for english speaking practice because it’s full of casual, real-world dialogue. The host talks like a friend—using phrases like “Hey guys,” “Let’s go ahead,” and “I guess not”—which makes it easy to mimic natural tone and rhythm. Plus, the mix of storytelling and interaction (like chatting with the pizzeria owner) gives you a chance to practice both describing events and having conversations. It’s the kind of content that feels less like “practice” and more like hanging out, which is key for building confidence.
Breaking Down Natural Speech: 3 Key Phrases
Let’s look at how the host uses everyday language that sounds authentic:
- “This place has been going viral because of how tiny it is.” The phrase “going viral” is super common in modern English, and “because of how tiny” is a natural way to explain a reason without being too formal. It’s a great example of how to connect ideas smoothly.
- “I actually think can I do the guava pepperoni?” The host starts with “I actually think” to soften the question, then switches to a casual “can I do” instead of “may I have.” This mix of hesitation and directness is how people really talk when ordering food.
- “It doesn’t fit the theme of the video, but nonetheless, super nice crew here.” “Nonetheless” is a fancy word, but it’s used in a relaxed way to contrast ideas. Pairing it with “super nice crew” shows how to balance formal and informal language in one sentence.
A Simple Shadowing Routine to Try Today
The shadowing technique (or shadow speech) is perfect for this video. Here’s how to do it: 1. Watch a 10-second clip of the host speaking. 2. Pause, then repeat the clip out loud, trying to match the speed, tone, and even the pauses. 3. Record yourself, then compare it to the original. Did you catch the “uhs” and “ums” that make speech sound natural? 4. Do this with 3-5 clips a day, focusing on phrases that feel tricky. Over time, you’ll notice your speech flows more like a native. This shadowspeaks practice works because it trains your mouth and brain to work together, making new phrases feel automatic. Don’t worry if you stumble—even native speakers mess up! The goal is to have fun and get comfortable with the rhythm of English.
Remember, the best english speaking practice comes from mimicking real people in real situations. This video gives you exactly that—so hit play, start shadowing, and let your speaking skills grow!
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
