Cheers to Lobster Rolls

Who says that lobster rolls are only for summer vaca? This New England staple hits the spot for Bobby and Sophie any time of year.

Ready, Set, Action

While filming in Brooklyn, Bobby and Sophie were flanked by cameras capturing their meal for the show.

An Ice Cream Aficionado

Here's the thing. If you hang out with Bobby long enough, you'll learn something very important about him: the man loves ice cream. A lot. Like, he's kind of obsessed with it. So, of course he and his daughter made time for a few scoops while adventuring around NYC. You'll notice a pattern here...

Taking It In

After settling down at their table at Quality Eats, Bobby and Sophie check out the menu before them. This time, they're here for steak.

City Style

Oncoming cars are no match for these native New Yorkers.

A New York Institution

Joe's Pizza on Carmine Street is legendary in NYC. They're famous for their classic slices, which these two look psyched to be digging into right now.

OMG

Just look at that pizza! It's a beautiful thing.

Another Pit Stop

Yep, that's right. Sophie and Bobby indulge in yet another scoop of ice cream, only this time it's gelato from Grom.

Taco Time

There aren't tables and chairs at Los Tacos No. 1, but that doesn't bother Bobby and Sophie one bit. They bellied up to the bar at this walk-up stand in Chelsea Market to try their signature tacos.

Serious Business

There's a gelato shop here in Chelsea Market, so yeah, you can bet they went there!

Burger Close-Up

Before going all-in on their burgers, Sophie snaps a quick shot of her dad with his classic cheeseburger from JG Melon, which Bobby has been visiting for decades.

Room for More

Another day, another ice cream. Told you he's a fan!

Milkshakes 2.0

Bobby and Sophie came to Black Tap for their burgers, but you know they also sampled a few milkshakes too.

Fried Chicken Time

Bobby's pick for fried chicken brought them to Blue Ribbon Brasserie, where they ordered the crispy-crust chicken.

A Sundae Special

Yes. More ice cream. This time they split a loaded sundae from Morgenstern's.

Two-Wheel Rides

There are tons of bikes available for rent on New York City streets, so Sophie and Bobby hopped on a few to make getting around town a little quicker.

So Many Laughs

During a quick break in filming, we played a game of Guess What! with Sophie and Bobby. Watch what happened right here.

Sweet Treats

OK, so this time they aren't having ice cream per se. But they did stop for some frozen treats at Grace Street Coffee & Desserts.
