you prolly dont care but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Colton Rodrigo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
4:15 That's a really great point, celebrities are everywhere especially in Brooklyn, but it's kinda of just like a head-nod "I know who you are, what's up" kind of thing as you pass them, rather than "OMG I NEED YOUR AUTOGRAPH". Growing up in Park Slope, I lived down the block from Steve Buscemi, and sometimes I'd see him at like 2-3 in the morning when I was out walking my dog, and it would scare the shit out of me tbh. He is a great actor, but also a creepy looking dude to see strolling out of the fog on a deserted street at night lol
Ι really like that no matter how much you love NYC you never try to sugar coat it and you are honest with what's the city is really about. I wish I get the chance to come again!
I appreciate the fact you told the Cold Hard Truth my man instead of sugarcoating like ALL the other channels seem to do. Hope it Does scare away all the delusional tourists/ Carrie Bradshaws plus the Chads who suck up to them. Thanks for doing a service for the minority of prideful New Yorkers who havent deserted our City!!
I 'm in southern calif . And haven't been to L. A. IN15 years precisely because of the reasons you mentioned . Or Disneyland even though my wife used to work there . Coming to N Y C one day soon , hope not to screw up !!
Homelessness is part of any city, live with it, it sucks of course but we’re all on a journey people, been to NYC three times and love everything I see and always learn something new! - THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD!!!
In general yes, but there are countries that take better care of the less fortunate ones. E.g. in Switzerland, you see drunkards and outcasts at trainstations but never with all their stuff/belonging in a cart or so, they all seem to have a save place to put their belongings. But then it's Switzerland, NYC has more inhabitants than the whole of Switzerland, and any country has their issues. In the States I've been to Austin, Boston and NYC, where I currently live, and in every city there were homeless people, but Austin was the worst. Easily every 3rd person in daytime on the commercial streets was homeless, and every 10th was a social worker. Felt really wired shopping. New York has its hotspots too, but due to the sheer amount of people they seem to go under in day to day life. And here most are friendly and not... let's say unpredictable, to put it nicely. But mayor social change would be necessary to help those who have written themselves of any chance in this anti-social system.
My friend and I were walking through Chinatown and this homeless guy yelled and started charging towards us like a zombie, it was the scariest moment of my life lol
My cousin from Peru was visiting NYC and she freaked out when she saw a large homeless person flaying their arms and taking to themself on the subway platform. I told her that is the norm. That was during pre-pandemic times. Now you need to be on your guard if you venture in the bowls of the city.
A lot of the time that's an intimidation tactic - they're trying to see if they can get you to react. Best thing to do is ignore and keep walking (but watch out of corner of eye - try to keep your distance if you can, beware of the elbow jab to ribs or stomach so they can mug you; they are trying to put you off balance so they - or a partner - can rob you). Of course sometimes they're just off they're meds
One thing about Broadway shows, check out the preview tickets because you can often get tickets below $100! But make sure to schedule it towards the end of the preview run because the production has usually worked out any kinks by then. The previews are just a dress rehearsal for the production. Also, the previews sometimes do extra songs and scenes so you get to see more of the show! :-D
I’m going back at the end of May and it’ll be my 6th trip, I’ve seen the bad but there’s so much more good! People definitely need to educate themselves, get tips from people like you on TH-cam and people who’ve already traveled there. Definitely helped me prepare so much and I have no complaints, always had a great time! Always enjoy your videos, you’ve probably helped more people than you know!
If you have lots of money for your vacation, New York is a magical wonderland waiting to be explored at your beckoning. Just stay at the suite in a five star hotel and hire a private driver, and use your hotel concierge to put together your excursion. You will have a fabulous time!
Great tip, buy a daybag that is a reverse bag with the zips against your back. So no one can dip your backpack from behind you. I don't work for them but Riutbag is the brand I use.
Points 8 and 9 in this vid are so relatable to my 2 trips to NYC haha. Stayed in Bed - Stuy first time and man is it a trek to get to Midtown or Central Park, didn't make that mistake next time and stayed in Astoria, went from 30 minutes to Central Park down to 10 minutes. Also weekend subway changes, pain in the ass. Arrived on a friday night, forgot about the subway works on the weekend and tried to get the subway to WTC from Astoria. Spent half the morning changing trains because line A was now line N, line R was now line X etc etc. And the speakers in the carriage are so quiet you can't tell which is which.
The first time I visited NYC, I went to Times Square like an assumed tourist would do. I paid like $50 for next to no food at a taco spot on the strip. Then I got angry and started researching places to drink beers at a reasonable price. Walked like 10 minutes away into Hell's Kitchen area and found Rudy's Bar. Got me like 3 beers for less than $20. Do some research before eating out lol.
Hey Jon. I travelled to NYC for the first time before Covid and your videos were super helpful, I managed to avoid most tourist traps. I stayed in a hotel in Long Island City close to the E train, 15 minutes from Midtown, an ok location with more reasonable priced hotels. I saw a lot of weird people, specially in Midtown, but I think that's quite common in most big cities. Can't wait to visit again and If I see you, I'll definitely say hi. Cheers from Brazil!
Love these videos. They have really helped me not make some mistakes when booking me and my son's trip. We are going in February from Scotland. We picked that time of year in the hopes we get to see ny in the snow.
Your channel and Sarah Funk are the best to cover NYC. I planned my entire NYC trip with my kids by just watching both of your channels. Thank you very much. All the best from Saudi Arabia.
Totally agree with point 8. I made the mistake of staying in the deep Bronx with 1 hour subway commute each way. In the winter, daylight is short and will possibly get snowed in. Too little hours to explore.
Thank you for the video. I went to New York twice; the first time I did most of the touristy stuff. On my second trip, I just chilled and avoided the main sights and enjoyed my second trip better.
I’m originally from NYC but now live in Florida. I think this was fantastic advice for anyone! Great reminders for those who are familiar and excellent advice for first time visitors. I’m wondering if you have any pandemic specific tips for those of us visiting right now? I have a trip planned in May (I usually stay in midtown Manhattan). I’m planning for a ‘quiet’ trip- visits to the parks, museums but that’s about it. I usually visit GMA, go to broadway plays and just enjoy the crowds but I’m expecting a much different experience next month.
I’m totally with you my friend. “The City” is in my soul. The Army has me on lockdown for a few more years, but once I retire (at the youthful age of 46) I plan to move there for at least a year or so depending upon what I find and the overall cost of living. I don’t want to waste my savings on over-inflated rent when I can use it to travel the world instead. Your videos are always on point and when talking to people about visiting NYC that have never been, I always refer them to your channel. I plan to visit sometime this summer. I have a musician friend that’s from Brooklyn, if she has a gig someplace awesome like Tavern on the Green or Blue Note, you and the wife should join us for some music and drinks. Keep up the great work!!!
I think it’s great that he says the homeless might yell at you or about mentally unstable people. I say this because lot’s of people would sugarcoat it.
I took a train from lower Manhattan to the Bronx and I was stunned on how long it took over an hour, Ny only looks small on paper but when you do the miles for real it is massive. Another shock in NY is the price of sporting events went to the Ice Hockey at Mad. Sq Garden paid 165 for a back stall seat. Would hate to find out what you pay for a football game at Metlife!
Thank you bud!!!!! Finally someone speaks FACTS!!! IM THERE EVERY WEEK SINCE THIS PANDEMIC !! YES SOME PEOPLE ARE NICE ! THEY WILL TALK TO YOU SOME OF THE NICEST ARE THERE!
I’ll visit for the first time with my son for his 14th bday. We’ll love to meet you. My son is obsessed with ur videos! We have been planning this for months. We’ll be there on July 30 2021 - from California ❤️
I'll be staying at my friends house in Queens for 3 weeks this summer. I know it's going to be a big change from where I live in the south. Thank you for the helpful videos.
Don't know if they'll be working the same systems when they re-open, but day of rush tickets and lotteries are still the best way to get tickets for next to nothing like 40/50 dollars! Yeah sometimes they're partial view but you still save a tonne. Some shows do standing room at the back of the orchestra for like $30 if you're up for standing!
I absolutley loved my visit!!! I will say the guy shooting up heroin in his leg in one of the outdoor eating areas was pretty crazy! But in all seriousness it was pretty awesome trip. Your video is on point.
When you got hungry and went for the Barria truck on the LIC waterfront, I knew I could trust you. But of course, I live in Queens and already live by these principles.
Yes I liked and I am a subscriber. Native NYer Bronx to Manhattan People should read before visiting Everything you say is true!! Some of the best food are off the path Advice to visitors - Never eat in Times Square or tourist areas if you wait Best places are in local areas. Thanks for mentioning tourist trips You and Sarah can fo a joint video
I already knew of these things but man, I love New York and Bayonne area. Sadly only been there once, but I’m planning to return many times :) I’m from Denmark btw
I went to nyc with one of my best friend he knows the ins and out of nyc i didn't know nothing of nyc but man in one day we went to the statue of liberty eles island to time square and eat at a nice eat in restaurant in one day you go with a person you know a trust in nyc you can get a lot of nyc in one day
Hola!!! Gracias for all the tips! I'm a Puertorican traveling soon to NYC and your videos have been so helpful for planing, I hope I can make it to some of your cheap eats recommendations!
I think most of these tips would best serve the foreign tourists, most of whom (seem to) have a, rather, distorted view of New York (and the United States, in general).
What's your impression of this next summer for tourists? Would you recommend visitting this June? I'd love to visit NYC again 😍😍💛💛 visitted NYC on June 2019 and I can tell its a real City with real problems and issues but still loved the experience.
I visited New York twice and a lot of your videos helped me out! Can't wait for things to get better to visit some new spots you have added to the channel. Lol I as I'm typing this the birra came out I remember that you came to my neighborhood in East Los Angeles to try some lunch trucks out. anyways! Haha Hope you guys are doing well!
I'm from Oklahoma and so when I parked my big rig in Newark and took the subway across for a day in NYC I was more than a little overwhelmed. The big takeaway for me was that I had to learn how to walk again! Seriously, if you're on the sidewalk don't wait for a path forward, just walk. The crowds will part around you. That and if the sensory overload gets too big, sit on a bench and people watch. That could keep you busy for hours!
Can you come back and comment on what your trip was like? I’m hearing tourism is picking up again but I’m curious about other’s experiences. I’m going next month.
@@mikogianni4382 hey! I just came back from nyc and I really enjoyed it. This was my fifth time visiting the city and slowly everything is getting back to ‘normal’. Lots of places are not as packed as they used to. Overall I had a great time.
I actually like putting NYC baseball cap and walk towards characters with big smile and right past them - then again they don’t bother me 🤷♂️Now occasional attempts of buy my CD happens. As for fame places I still think some like Lombardi’s Pizza or Peter Luger (if can get reservation & don’t mind spending bit) worth it 😀
How would a tourist know that 500 bowery Street is on a corner? Not every tourist is gonna be proactive before they travel. Some just get up and go and that whirly spin with the camera in certain locations just happens to be bucket list material.
Hey John, watch your videos from the UK regularly, have been to NY several times in last 3 or 4 years, all being well coming back in November as visiting my brother for Thanksgiving, what do do you expect NY to be like by the time we come? Rumour has it borders will be open soon

I grew up in NYC, and still live here. Homelessness was not a issue 3 years ago. It's all thanks to the mayor.

I learned that parts of Queens were not so easily connected almost 8 yrs ago!
If you have lots of money for your vacation, New York is a magical wonderland waiting to be explored at your beckoning. Just stay at the suite in a five star hotel and hire a private driver, and use your hotel concierge to put together your excursion. You will have a fabulous time!
In terms of Pizza, anyone visiting New York NEEDS to try Di Fara's, Lucali, Scarr's, Prince Street, and Best Pizza
I haven’t tried lucali yet
Grimaldi's and Lombardi's pizza, too.
Little Gio's. East Village. BOOM!

Always check subway service before you head out on weekends.
Sometimes I even neglect that
Check MTA Weekender
Not a huge fan of musicals, but after all this time I can't wait to see a musical.

Going to nyc (as a tourist) without watching this channel is like going to war without armour and bullets. Thanks HBB!
Love your videos John always helping me improve mate . Can’t wait to get back to NYC
The MTA is more of a blurse than a blessing.
Great video and tips for people visiting NYC. 💪🏽
I would love a video for first time visiting on where to stay. Hotels that are reasonable and safe close to things to do and see.
Beacon hotel
Excellent video!! I’m local and you nailed it 👍🏽
I already knew of these things but man, I love New York and Bayonne area. Sadly only been there once, but I’m planning to return many times :) I’m from Denmark btw
Awesome 👏
Thank you for all the information 💁♀️
11 Skip anywhere that sells merch like Dylan's candy bar go to a different cheaper candy store like economy candy
I'm living in Melbourne and if someone asks directions people go out of their way to help you.
People are generally helpful in NYC as well.
I went to nyc with one of my best friend he knows the ins and out of nyc i didn't know nothing of nyc but man in one day we went to the statue of liberty eles island to time square and eat at a nice eat in restaurant in one day you go with a person you know a trust in nyc you can get a lot of nyc in one day
Yo barrio! Great video! I was supposed to visit NY last August! :/ hopefully I can go later this year. Is it safe to visit NY with kids? 👍👍👍
It's safe to visit with kids
Loved it! Always enjoy your videos!
LIC was the last spot I saw on my trip to NYC. There was nobody there and it’s very cool.

Good to show the “ugly” parts/aspects of NYC. This adds to your credibility.
thank you for being in Queens
Queens is horrible.

Lol I as I'm typing this the birra came out I remember that you came to my neighborhood in East Los Angeles to try some lunch trucks out. anyways! Haha Hope you guys are doing well!
Can you please tell me what's another place to get the good pastrami sandwich instead of Katz
you should do like a monthly video on NY with Sarah Funk, ActionKid and tomdnyc

You should make a video on where to park your car for free for a few days when coming from another town
I'm from Nassau County and I can relate to that.

Jon, I really like your mask in this video. It looks comfortable and I like the loose fit and ear hooks. Could you tell me where you purchased it?
Thank you👍😁
What is the pizza spot that you mention around the 2:30 mark?
What about the weather? Should I bother to visit in the winter?
Ohhh how did this birria compare to Birria Landia?
Good but not THAT level good
There's an insane homeless population in Boston too . Sleeping on subway grates on my way to class
Why only focused mainly on one borough?
BUT if you do go to Magnolia Bakery get the banana pudding instead.. the cupcakes are not it at all
BINGO
Hey John, watch your videos from the UK regularly, have been to NY several times in last 3 or 4 years, all being well coming back in November as visiting my brother for Thanksgiving, what do do you expect NY to be like by the time we come? Rumour has it borders will be open soon
Nobody knows for sure. I’d like to think much better
@@HereBeBarr thanks, appreciated. Here's hoping 🙏
