@@tomdnyc1 i love you!
Tom, I really can’t believe that your channel didn’t explode yet. You’re so underrated. Hope it’ll happen soon, you really deserve it. See you at your next live tour and a trivia question.😉 Wish you an amazing Wednesday. Love and support from Croatia 👋🏻🇭🇷🇺🇸🙃
It’s going to explode now. It seems every time I sub someone, they blow up! 🤣
I love your sick plugs and fun facts so much. You are the smartest and most entertaining tour guide in the world. Thank you Tom! You're awesome! 🗽💕
Thanks for all the support Özgün!
Not gonna lie, Tom. You are the best youtube guide to NYC I've seen. Been to NY several times and read a ton of books on its history, but all these juicy historical nuggets you keep throwing out there are just brilliant!
I lived in new york all my life and I'll take one of your tours any day.....cool insights of some of the history of this beautiful city of ours..
This is such a great video Tom! You are the perfect New York tour guide, accent, vibe and all.

Super casual... That's how I describe my life in NYC to my parents!
OMG!!! TOM you are a walking encyclopedia!!! Love it! 😎
Tom, you are without peer in providing accurate information. And I stress the word "accurate". There are a lot of walking tours of NYC on TH-cam. However the information which they state as being fact is often crazy wrong. So you are The Man for detailed, correct information. You're funny& entertaining as well. By the way, please do not use God's Holy Name in vain. You have a wide audience. Thanks Tom.
Tom - one of the best (maybe the best) of your video tours that I have seen. An excellent mix of history, trivia, travel tips, pop culture, personal stories, and humor. Great pacing and timing. You crushed it!

I'm a new subscriber, I'm a little obsessed with new york tours at the moment and yours are the best, not only are you very intelligent and knowledgeable but i also find you very funny!! Oh and easy on the eye 😉😂
Ha, thanks Lisa! More coming!
An EXCELLENT half-hour walk/mini-tour of 42nd St.
You, TomD, were introduced to me by "ActionKid" via TH-cam not too long ago and I was very impressed by your style and humor. You have you own unique take on the Greatest City in the World. Love it!
I lived in New York as a young kid and your walking tours are terrific! Your knowledge about various areas of NYC are so informative! Thanks so much!
Incredible!! Thank you. Been I. NYC 56 YEARS DIDN'T KNOW A LOT OF THAT INFO. YOURE A COLORFUL DIDE LOL. HOPEFULLY I CAN GET A TOUR BY YOU!!!!
When I visited NYC 3 times, I took the Greyhound from Toronto, Ontario to the Port Authority Bus Terminal on West 42nd St., I would walk around late at night and early in the morning by myself and not once have I been scared or ever bothered by any one in fact, I found NYC to be safe. Sometimes I would stay overnight to save on hostel costs.
you would not want to do that in Chicago's south side.
@@vikkinicholson2300 hi, when ever I visit a new place I always do my research and watch TH-cam videos of the surrounding area. As for NYC my first time there I've planned and researched it for around 1 year. if I feel it's not safe there is no way I would walk in that area. Thank you!
WOW SUPER TOM, best City Walk ever. See soooo many more F A N C Y 😂 Places as I was there in Midtown 1998. Thank You so much. Many GREETINGS from Germany. I love your CITY WALK ❤️
Hey Tom,
This is amazing. I'm from Stirling in Scotland and been to NYC last 2 years. It's my favourite place Bryant park especially and you bring it back to life for me.
Many many thanks.
Andy

This was my neighborhood for almost 5 years. I moved 3/3/2020... 11 days before lockdown. This. IS. SCARY! The fact that it looks like this and I was living there 5 months ago ... COMPLETELY EMPTY🤯🤯
Seriously great tour and vid.

I just recently discover this Channel. This guy is so cool.
Thank u for this! I walk that street every day and now i know so much about it. would love to have you as my tour guide, are you doing any tours now?
I am doing private tours. Reach out to me through my website or Instagram if you want to set something up!
Great tour! Glad to see your channel get some love. I was subscriber number 300! Keep it up!
Thanks so much for the support, Mongo!
OMG your walk across the Brooklyn Bridge was great! So educational...I wanted to stop and shop those street vendors along the way....
Excellent as always Tom!!
Yo Tomas, it’s your old pal Paul Ketterman. This video randomly popped up in my feed. I had no idea you were a tour guide. I’ve lived here for 12 years now and you just told me a ton of info I’ve never heard. Good stuff man, I really liked it! Subbed 😎
In my only visit to NY i was walking down on 5th ave. and took 42nd to get closer to the Chrisler building, and it was a surprise to meet the Grand Central Terminal which i didn't know it was there. Too bad i didn't know that a "little" further was the UN building. Great video, greetings from Nicaragua 🇳🇮.

No me digas!! Sos de Nicaragua?? Yo soy Nicaragüense! Mis padres son de Managua! Uno de estos dias voy a hacer un video en español! Gracias por el apoyo!
@@tomdnyc1 Sí, soy de Nicaragua. De hecho supe de tu canal porque alguien que se supone que es familiar tuyo me lo recomendó. Me pareció excelente tu video sobre Slavery & Racism in NY. Soy diseñador gráfico y trabajo un poco con After Effects, si acaso alguna vez necesitas alguna animación para tus videos estaría encantado de ayudarte!

Hi from Barbados ,amazing city thanks sharing beautiful city world.
I totally agree about Bryant Park's bathroom. It's the cleanest and prettiest public bathroom I have ever been to. Love my city. I cannot wait for it to get back to its normalcy. Great video.
Bryant Park Hotel is also one of my favourite buildings in the City.
I like this video, too

Definitely but we gotta call it the American Radiator Building - Bryant Park Hotel shouldn't get the credit for building it!
We love your videos Tom!
Hello from Australia.. Wud LOVE to visit again... Had booked a holiday for April this year.. BUT wasn't meant to be.. As soon as we are allowed to fly again Internationally... I'll be back...

Great video! 🌟you deserve your own show!!
Best of the best! Thanks Tom 🤙🏻
My hometown. 1955-1978.
Under Giuliani it was the place to be. Now it’s a cesspool, like so many of the other large cities. I just wanna cry.
The building with the curved front across from the library, is the Grace Building, built 1970-1972 on the site of Stern Brothers Department Store, which stood here from 1913 to 1969, having previously operated on West 34th Street for 36 years.
5th Avenue used to be two way.
It's not so bad. Cities go through phases, ups and downs, but places like New York will always be a collection of people who have to be around other people. Immigrants, artists, entrepreneurs. Those are all people, who no matter what, find a way.
tomdnyc I myself, am one of those artists. But never did make it. So, being retired, I do a bit here and there in a few local galleries.
Very informative and entertaining 42nd Street tour, Tom!
Love all the history your sharing..visited Manhattan many times..I'm learning so much...cant wait to visit again..😃
Reach out for a tour when you visit!
As a native NYer, I have never walked 42nd from 12th to 1st, I thought you would do it that way. It's on my list to walk from 42nd 12th and 1st in September, new goals since covid 😎😎 oh no, we are walking and sitting on hollow ground/ Bryant Park

I thought about it, but I think I will cover that in the Hell's Kitchen episode down the line.
Another great video tom, hopefully your keeping safe and well. Best wishes from Northern Ireland
Oh, man, this kills me. I haven’t been back to midtown since this started because I think I’d cry. What I wouldn’t give to tell a tourist to get out of the way!

Thank you for taking the time to do this amazing video. I am from Florida I went to New york three years ago with my family, and I was very surprised how nice everybody was. I love New york. It bothers me when people say bad thingsa bout New Yorkers I always correct them... I say NOT my EXPERIENCE . Thank you for sharing. As soon as They open up I will be walking in New york.
Thanks, Tony. I am from Tampa, actually!
I am from Illinois and was in NY a few yrs ago w/family. We found the city to be friendly and fun. Lots of walking but hard to squeeze even half of the good stuff in over a short time so I'm anxious to return. This time with Tom's help, we will have a better idea of where to go for sure.
Good one as always. Cheers
Hey Tom, Jose from Puerto Rico. Really dig your videos man! You're the coolest tour guide right now I think. Do you have Latino in you bro? Delgado is not so USA-ish.
His parents are from Nicaragua but Tom's from Florida ✌️💕
@@mariewiseman2962 I knew there was Latino blood in Tom! ;-)
Claro que si, Jose! Soy Nicaragüense! Uno de estos dias, voy a hacer un video en español!
Thank you so much Tom for such a great tour!
VERY INTERESTING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS MY OWN TOUR GUIDE! GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU

I walked down that street every day to work at 43rd and 9th....7 train to Times Square...and I didn't know any of these things...I just mumbled to tourists, "for fuck's sake walk faster or move, not all of us are on vacation god damnit "....great video buddy, as usual...you got the gift of gab my friend.
Damn! They closed the McDonald's on 42nd! The last time I ate there was 2019. Crazy times we live in.
😂 Ooooh YESSS I think I was there too MC many Year's ago 👍
Yes they're turning it o
Into a Ihop🙄
Great job 👍
silly boy! so funny! thanks for the tour there, sir. :)
Excellent stuff once again. We did the self same 42nd Street walk back in 1981 starting at 9th Avenue and parts of it were a bit scary back then before it was Disney-fied. We didn't feel safe in Tudor City for example but look at it now.

Best tour of NYC, EVER!
Tom, you are the best! So incredibly interesting and with an easy going, fun vibe to it. You should have your own show! Thank you.
This guy is the best kept secret on TH-cam. Knowledge and charisma is fantastic
Love your videos! Looking forward to visiting NYC for the first time!
Thanks! Do it - visit!
✌✌✌✌✊✊✊🎬tom🎬
Thank you so much; love your videos. Great tour guide, historical facts and funny too !!!
"Next time you take a Viagra, you can thank New York City." Line of the tour 🤣🤣 Love your knowledge and self-deprecating humour as always 👏 P.S. The Bank of America building is also the base of the fictional publishing company Empirical in the current TV dramedy Younger, which is wholly filmed in NYC. They use external shots of that building in each episode and shoot at other iconic places like the NY Public Library, East River Bar, Seaglass Carousel etc. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

I have never watched Younger - I'll check it out, but I'm not sure I'm the target demographic!
@@tomdnyc1 You don't have to be a 20-something to appreciate it. I'm way past that age and I love it (well, up until the last season!)
(Cleared throat) “Don’t worry. I have the antibodies!” 😂😂😂
Amazing. I remember in 1982, The New Yotk Times second 24 units offset Metroliner press installing. The very first time I had seen such a giant press machine to be operated by 70 men. Now the building is different, and heared the press is frozen Btw.

This should be required viewing for all US history students. I'm 46 and I've been watching this with earbuds, pausing to tell my 16 year old some trivia - and he's just as impressed, lol. Like the explanation of the term Broadway and why Times square is times square and the place for New Years countdown.
You have such magnetism. Love to hear you talk. Personally if I was talking to you I would worry about getting a word in, edgewise. So full of knowledge.
Delighted to wake up to this 😀
Thanks, Miss LouBlou! Cool name.
Thank you for this channel, Tom! I worked and lived there in NYC for 2 years and now just watching your Channel is giving me good vibes. Especially helpful at this time when I’m sick. IM living NYC virtually through your vids!

Lovely documentary on my favourite city. First visit was October 1986, flew out with Pan Am into JFK. Saw Genesis at Madison Square Garden, and fell in love with the place. Been to New York 15 times from England. Love to walk everywhere, 🚶♂️ stopping off at the B&H Dairy for Yankee Bean Soup and Challa Bread.....mmmmm.
Coming over from England, I fly into Newark, and get the train to Penn Station. Stay in and around the Chelsea area. Love going to gigs at the Garden, Radio City, Beacon and the Bowery Ballroom.
Watching the New York Rangers and the Yankees play
Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, found lovely places to eat, and amazing book shops
What I love about New York, is it's 24/7, you can walk everywhere, sells my favourite brew, Miller MGD, the champagne 🍾 of all beers
Planning my next trip for March 2024, my birthday. Stay safe New Yorkers 🌎🌎
there never has been, nor will there ever be, a better video that this- my head is ready to explode after all this amazing information.
Thanks Tom for an interesting tour. NY is a unique city.
I had no idea you had your own channel. I saw you on Sarah's channel recently (I will sub now.)
Thanks, Trish!
@@tomdnyc1 Were you born in NY?
Tom you’re the BEST 👏👏I can’t wait to get a tour soon Amigooo 🥂💙 Saludos desde Kennett Square!
Awesome, please get in touch when you visit!
Speaking of movies on TWO WEEKS NOTICE (2002) Lucy and George (Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant) discuss about the Chrysler building and it's competition from a helicopter.
This was great! I was in NYC...am In NYC...But I was here during the real lockdown and I actually was in Times square during the height of COVID. lockdown..This video had far more people in it than when I was there at the time...It was like the apocalypse hit, so crazy and empty. I walked through three weeks ago and it's pre covid density is back....OY VEY, I prefered it otherwise! Thank you for this video!!!!!!
Amazing
Love you NYC. I long to be there.
Your videos are keeping you in great shape, you're looking buff. Thanks for your tours
Great personality😍😍
Thanks for the tour. Interesting history tid bits. I LOVE NEW YORK. I have fond memories of my only visit to NYC in 2002. Everyone I came in contact with was very courteous and friendly. Hope and pray it comes back to the way it was.
