It may be a holdout from the past, but the once-dying seltzer water business is making a comeback here in New York City. In this video from Bon Appétit's great I Got a Guy series, see how the 4th-generation owner of Brooklyn-based seltzer shop Brooklyn Seltzer Boys, pivoted from home-delivery to supplying juice stands and cocktail bars around the City with delicious seltzer water.
A century ago, New Yorkers got their fizzy water from the thousands of seltzer men that delivered to the five boroughs. Alex Gomberg is a fourth generation seltzer man and, as Brooklyn's youngest, he's trying to keep the business alive.
