NYC IS DEAD

I absolutely loved this trip down memory lane. 1967 after prom, the place to go. Double dated at Hawaii Kai with boyfriend, now husband of 53 years. Still have my professional photo in it's logo cover. I had a virgin Pink Lady! Thank you for this interview❤❤

I used to go there on Saturday with my friend , I was 20 yrs old . I loved it .🎊🌺

I have a customer for you!

i used to go to niu valley intermediate and kaiser high back in the day. i miss all the dorky friends i used to have.

Love it!!!!!

The editor has abused the effects box :) The interviews with the handheld mic prove that a soundman with a mic on a fishing pole makes cleaner image.

I frequented there many, many times! It was quite a lovely place!

When you leave New York; you go nowhere

I feel that I missed Times Square/The Deuce in its sleazy porn heyday, i'd love to visit the Avon cinema.

playpen is still there

Fast forward 12 years it all gone.

This song is awful. LoL😂

There is a restaurant and bar in Fort Lauderdale known as the Mai Kai. They have all the same drinks, pupu platter, and polynesian shows. The bar has the theme of being in a old wooden ship. It is amazing, check it out.

Yes, reopen I will come back.

Had dinner a few times there, memories that are not forgotten.. I even have a photo with my date.

Sweet 16 for a friend in 1968! Great memories

I grew up in NYC in the 60s, 70s and 80s before I moved out. While we talk about how much has changed since the 80s, I remember my grandmother at that time telling me that the city had changed a lot since her day. She said it was a magical town in the 20s through 40s except for the depression period, which she managed to do okay during. Whether it was cleaner and safer is up for debate, it's never been a truly safe town, but all the fancy buildings and monuments of the early city were new and the subway, too. People were more uniformly dressed then and most people conformed to an agreed upon social norm. Today, it's anything goes.

Amazing video. I had an eye for things as well. I tool the door pulls from the closed nedicks on times square which were two big hotdogs. I had my eye on the glass door of the Hawaii kai which had a sign on it $7.00 cover with 2 drink minimum great video

If i remember right there was a Fake ID store on one side and a small peep show on the other side with private booth. for 25 cents the window woukd go uo were there was a stunning woman named susan. Who for $1 woukd let you pet the puppies. The guy behind the counter wore a sailor cap. NYC was great . Thanks for a great video

My father once met a "funny guy" at this place. Turns out, he wasn't so funny. A real psychopath, actually.

I was the hostess/ aloha girl there in the late seventies. Too much fun!

Went to a birthday party there in 1975. Pupu platter!

Now all the chain stores and shopping malls are going out of business!

Times change. The same thing happened to London. There’s no going back. No one’s gonna let you smoke a cigarette in a bar or in the lobby of a hotel. Those days are long gone.

killin me with that zoom.

So great🎉 I read an article in the New Yorker, and tried to search this video. It is exactly what the editor has depicted😊

Bridgeport Connecticut has plenty of this.. Old vintage hotels/schools etc were converted to homes

The uniformity of communism is being engineered outwardly to effect the mind to adapt to sameness conformity. Distinction becomes extinction.

When was this taped? 1989?

1994 is mid-1990s, not early 90s.

So sad what happened to nyc, it's gone... a ghost now. The people are gone who made nyc, nyc and everything else.

I had my sweet 16 party there in 1977. Wow, did this bring back memories...LOL.

What is RUN DOWN here? The PORNO PLACES were bringing in the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so what the hell is RUN DOWN?? IS,NT IT ALL ABOUT THE $$$$$$$$? When RUDY/REAL ESTATE CLEANED IT UP AS THEY SAY IT IS SIMPLY THE NEWER NEWER NEWER OFFICE BUILDINGS/NEWER OCCUPIERS OF WHATEVER THEY ARE SELLING THAT ARE REAPING ALL THAT $$$$$$$$$!! Some time in the future the city will find a way to tell the ENTIRE WORLD:HEY SEXXXXXXXX AND WHAT EVER GOES WITH IT IS VERY BENEFICIAL TO US ALL: THEN THE CITYS WILL START TO CASH IN ON ALL THAT SEXXXXX! (the same way the city took over NUMBERS RACKET/LOTTERY GAMES/MARIJUANA BUSINESS/HEROIN (metadon) YEP THEY ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO BUFFER IT ALL UP TO SOUND CUTE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS NOT DIRTY ANYMORE! (no I,M not a mean commenter just been watching GEORGE CARLIN) as he sure knew how to put this into words*

I don't think he knew what a "flower child" was. LOL

Nyc has become nothing but a cash grab. The only people who can afford to live there are the wealthy, and saudi real estate investors. I feel sorry for these Johnny-come lately millennials who think they've moved to the cool hip-hop, punk rock Manhattan of the "70's& "80's. Doesn't exist anymore. Was born & raised there, & I gtfo in the late "90's. Just a sad shadow of what it once was.

Wished I had a chance to see the late 80s to 90s NY

pop music playing in the bg with plenty of sax - yep, must be 1990

What the video where it has Music throughout the video of 1970s New York !?!? With songs like Native New Yorker and Broadway by Frank Sinatra !?

Well, that stunk.

Sounds as fresh as ever... Beautiful melody and great production!

What's with the corny Beach boys cover band song ?

Great tribute. If i am not mistaken it had a Polynesian theme. When it closed during the rebirth of times square the glass doors were still there with the admission and cover charge,i think it was $7.50 to get in and they had the bankamericard sticker on the door.trust me i tried hard to take the door but it was too heavy.i didn however wind up with the two hot dog door pulls from nedicks up the street. Great video

Fecal coagulant!!!!

11 years later, and I'm still a lonely guy.

Wish what these guys are upto now

Dig this !!!! So cool sad to see history go!!!

Celebrated my 16th bday there in 1974. Great memory and good time.
