As usual, I spent half the video laughing along with your self-deprecating humour, and the other half being impressed by your amazing NYC knowledge. Please post more vids to keep us entertained 👏 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
tomdnyc awesome Tom👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 !!!! I hope they pick you my friend or the History Channel, me and my wife would be delighted to go on your NY TOUR once this craziness is over , take care and keep the awesome work !
Many years ago, the now named DeSalvio Playground was called the Spring St Park on Spring St and Mulberry in SoHo. Yay! Broome St! Where I was born and raised. Thank you, Tom for a walk down memory lane.
Like you sense of humour and mix of very good knowledge....people like you are very rare.....just just keep it up.. keep on posting and keep on blogging...
Once again, very much enjoyed this tour. Your knowledge of NYC history is bonkers. You should start a blog or write a book, would love to read more in-depth stuff in your style. Or maybe a little series of videos dedicated to one specific thing. Cheers!
He is the best guide. So smart and knows every inch of this City and the history and facts about each building,street and people. I am learning a lot even though I was born and raised here and lived and worked too. I thought I knew a lot - turns out there is a lot I learned thru these tours!!!
Tomdncy...you are great I love your videos and your narrative the way you explain the facts about New York City 🌃 makes me more knowledgeable of the history of NYC... thanks for your awesome videos,sincerely Guillermo from Southern California. I love ❤️ NYC but is too expensive. But if I had ton of money 💰 sure I will buy me a place.
I love your style (crossing while red) ! And this was during Covid Hysteria; well done! I just discovered your channel and I'm going to spend October in New York and I will watch all of your vids in advance.
Your knowledge of our city's history and culture is so vast and informative! Very interesting, I did not know about most of this, despite living in the city my whole life. I think we will see a huge drop in real estate prices in the near future, and New York City will be accessible to the working class once again!
You are simply the best TH-cam NYC blogger- tour guide out there! You’re fun and gifted with extraordinary knowledge, delivered with wit and a snappy succinct style... Thank you for your wonderful work!
Tom, you are gem that I found because of the pandemic. How I wish we could have appropriate-aged school kids watch some of your videos for their shortened, virtual, online classes. Stay well, and thank you!
love your videos and love your beard! Also old enough to be your mother! Thanks for reminding me about Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses -- I read the biography by Robert Caro....
Just found your channel. Great stuff. Looked at older clips...you seem to be more confident and authoritative with your covid beard! Keep it. It'll be good for business!
Hi Tom, at the end of the SoHo video you talked about Officer Petrosino. I remembered seeing a moving with Earnest Bourgnine about the same story. I looked it up on IMDB. The movie was called 'Pay or Die,' made in 1961. Just thought you'd like to know.
@@tomdnyc1 Tom, considéralo, acá le he mostrado tus videos a mucha gente y les gusta mucho. La información que ofreces es abarcadora, y toca puntos históricos, políticos, sociales, antropológicos, de arquitectura y todo en una onda de buen humor, algo que no es fácil de realizar. Confió q la pandemia pase y pueda regresar de paseo a NY y poderte contratar para una excursión dentro de la fascinante historia que encierra esa ciudad. Te deseo continuos éxitos.
Ya' done good and held your composure well in the video with boss-lady. Btw: the song "Angie" also refers to Andy Warhola. Listen to the song, "Angie-Andy ... Andy ... there ain't a woman that comes close to you." Not, " ... any other woman.".
Try a light under your hat visor! I've never wanted to go to New York City until I watched your tour last weekend. Probably still won't go though. They renamed a city near me SoBu.
Thanks, Karen. And yeah, SoHo is wild on rent. We'll see what happens to rents in the coming months though. It's a pretty empty neighborhood right now.
The immigrants learned how to take a huge chunk out of the 🍎. They did absolutely well for themselves. What an inspiring story of SouthHoustoun. Tomas, you are the coolest tour guide. 💡📚👍🏾👍🏾
Once upon a time The main library used to have a apartment on the top for like a over night guard and his family to live in. Does the library still do that? It would be cool to see that apartment even if it's not in use now.
Yep PBS and similar sources like short stories. It will probably be year's before I get there sad to say but dude it's awesome you know so much and I love all that crap all the stuff quote un quote normal people could care less about. I like to understand shit so when I finally come it's because my inheritance kicked in sad to say but hopefully it WONT BE SOON. You understand the normal reasons one gets inheritance and that will be a sad day for me so I'm not looking forward to that but I am realistic about life and coming to explore N.Y. is going to be awesome. I'm Irish so of course during the daytime to eat food and drinks the most expensive and best Irish pub and at night; "because there will be no eating of food at these places;" the shadiest most notorious mobed up Irish pub you know of. Dude I'm crazy like that I like to live and experience the best of life and see all of it. I think your the type of friend that differently would be a blast to do these things with and I'm glad you know so much about the city. Dude we differently will have fun and I want to go everywhere. I swear if covid doesn't kill us and Hamilton goes back on stage we are going and I got you bro premium seats too I want front row the spit section. I will figure out how to get backstage to meet the cast I'm also weird like that. I walk around like I owe everything and people are not used to that, so I get into places no one should have ever let me be in. It's my imaginary balls that helps me accomplish that task. But for right now I'm broke like everyone else. Just keep up with me and when I know I can come I'll hit you up to make some plans.
My favorite hangout as Artist, going to NYU, for Art Masters . 1980' great memories, then rivitalized by Artist , before fashionable...Shame on Landlords. It used to be a Mom and Pop eateries, sooo great.🇩🇰🇺🇸🖌️🎨📬
Portland, Oregon has the second most concentrated number of cast iron buildings. Portland was also the first city to host a fair or festival lit with electricity in the world. Portland General Electric. Pretty interesting what they helped to do at Willamette Falls.

15:47 This architecture is so similar to the inner city of Zagreb, Croatia, it’s spooky.
I think I am gonna ride the hair out and see how long my hair will get and how off-putting I can become! The bear must stay trimmed though - it gets too distracting to touch!
Born and raised, still living in NYC. I love his knowledge about the City. There's the other guy, called Action Kid. Walking around with no knowledge at all talking shit like oh there's Armani, oh look aMc Donalds! What books do recommend about NY History?
As usual, I spent half the video laughing along with your self-deprecating humour, and the other half being impressed by your amazing NYC knowledge. Please post more vids to keep us entertained 👏 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks, Fiona!
As the kids say. “This waking tour through the history to present day Soho was informative AF”
I’m pretty sure the kids say that.
Hey Tom...great tour of SoHo. Love your walking tours, and hope to see more in the future!
Thanks a lot, Judith. I really appreciate your support!
Tom you have soooo much knowledge, some network needs to pick you up ASAP!... they are missing out
Thanks, I have sent a screenshot of your comment to Travel Channel!

Hi Dan! XOXO Gossip Girl 🤣🤣🤣 Another great video, thank you ❤️🗽

Thanks! Surf a wave for me! (Is that how you guys say hello over there?)
Many years ago, the now named DeSalvio Playground was called the Spring St Park on Spring St and Mulberry in SoHo. Yay! Broome St! Where I was born and raised. Thank you, Tom for a walk down memory lane.

Hi Tom when I finally get to NYC. I'll be paying you for this fyi. Your hilarious and smart as hell I love it.
Ha, thanks Michelle! Yes, hopefully people will be able to travel here soon, although I have seen some people visiting here already actually. Weird.
So interesting, I always learn so much from your tours. Thanks Tom! 😊
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Glad to see you out again Tom - great content as always Brother!

Thanks, Nelson. More coming for sure! I really appreciate the support as well!
Zabardast! I loved it! Great content! SoHo perfect example of urban renewal!!!

Hey Tom! Thanks for the tour!
Great job Tom!! I really enjoy your history of the city! Thanks!

He is the best guide.

always learning from you. thanks!
Good, that's part of the idea of my videos! The other part is narcissism, I guess.
was that a phone bank/booth you walked by at 1:44 ? Also 5:00 🤣 Love your running commentary. Oh I subbed too 😉
Tom you're the man! I appreciate the content my brother!!
Thanks, Jose!

Hey Tom, from downunder this was great. Miss this place
fantastic! Thanks for the tour!
Tom, you are gem that I found because of the pandemic. How I wish we could have appropriate-aged school kids watch some of your videos for their shortened, virtual, online classes. Stay well, and thank you!
Ha, thanks, if there's one message kids can take away from my videos it is: don't go to law school!
Great tour.....this is the way I would like to see NYC! I love the history and architecture!
Love all the history, humour & keeping us updated with what is happening presently with all THIS going on right now.
Great tour and great tour guide ! Love every one of your videos !
Just watched “a Knights Tale” starring Heath Ledger yesterday. Timely that you pointed out where he died.
Very detailed tour I am a new subscriber really like 👍 your videos.
Thank you so much! Your tour was very helpful.
love your videos and love your beard! Also old enough to be your mother! Thanks for reminding me about Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses -- I read the biography by Robert Caro....
Love it 😍
As soon as New York is open for europeans I'll be back. I love this town. I might book a walking tour with you. Till then I enjoy your videos. Thanx
One of your best vids Tom!
Interesting info. Love it👍
In the early 90's I lived there. At that time I paid for an studio apt. $1,200.I wonder how much is now🙄 (I don't live in US anymore)
Love your educational video!
Love this...you have influenced me to return for artist work
You will be a great history teacher
Just found your channel. Great stuff. Looked at older clips...you seem to be more confident and authoritative with your covid beard! Keep it. It'll be good for business!
Hi Tom, at the end of the SoHo video you talked about Officer Petrosino. I remembered seeing a moving with Earnest Bourgnine about the same story. I looked it up on IMDB. The movie was called 'Pay or Die,' made in 1961. Just thought you'd like to know.
Love it
Tom you're the best !!!
Thanks for the support, Larry!
Great!
This is exactly what I was looking for...greetings from SF
Thank you.
Two words that are simple to say but not said enough.
Anyways, whenever we get to NYC again were gonna look you up for a tour. Also, you never said anyways, not once. Kudos.
Please get in touch when you visit. And I am pretty sure I said "anyways" a few times, but I have been more conscious of it, so I owe it all to you!
Appreciate this tour video. Also, is there a story behind your cameo on Joe Pera’s show?
Ha, yeah. Joe is a good friend of mine and my former roommate here in NYC... and I am one of the best actors alive!!
tomdnyc 🌵
I havent seen it but I know I'm going to like it.
Same here. Greetings from Hamburg
Thanks! Hope you get a chance to watch it, ha!
Of course, wouldnt miss it for anything.
The best, el mejor! xo
Gracias, Pedro! Quizas me atrevo a producir videos en español!

👋🏼 Tom, thanks for fast talkin' tour.
Thanks Tom loved your tour, I live in the bush in Australia, my question is, how do you support yourself when in covid? P.s. I hit the like button!!
Ya' done good and held your composure well in the video with boss-lady.
Btw: the song "Angie" also refers to Andy Warhola. Listen to the song, "Angie-Andy ... Andy ... there ain't a woman that comes close to you." Not, " ... any other woman.".
Love the song Angie! Thanks for watching!

TomD is a god of tourism. How you web the immigrant story and evolving of it all, perfect 👌!
Ha! Thanks, not sure if the God of Tourism gets a spot on Mount Olympus, but I'm looking for a better deal on rent, so I'll look into it!
When are u starting up comprehensive tour guides again? How much do they go for?
good luck sir
You rock buddy
Love that man Tom. How do you know so mucuch?
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS, I AM POSTING YOU ON ALL SITES!!
Love you so interesting I’m homesick thanks
The rent there is insane. I could afford one brick in that place and half a slice of cheesecake 🍰 Very interesting! You should have your own tv show.
Thanks, Karen. And yeah, SoHo is wild on rent. We'll see what happens to rents in the coming months though. It's a pretty empty neighborhood right now.
hey tom...love your videos,can you direct me to the LA version of you?thanks
Ha, the LA version of me??? I don't know if there is one, but I already hate him!
@@tomdnyc1 lol u're right..there isn't. I look forward to the day ure giving me humourous walking tours of L.A ...my fingers are crossed ❤❤
… I love the subtle implication that the upper east and upper West sides are affordable…
The immigrants learned how to take a huge chunk out of the 🍎. They did absolutely well for themselves. What an inspiring story of SouthHoustoun. Tomas, you are the coolest tour guide. 💡📚👍🏾👍🏾

Are barbers still closed 😱😆

Tenemant museum was great i went there
Culture club.... Amazing
I can give you a haircut. Although, I dig the nice, sick, quarantine beard. ;)
I think I am gonna ride the hair out and see how long my hair will get and how off-putting I can become! The bear must stay trimmed though - it gets too distracting to touch!
@@tomdnyc1 como te guste ;)
Any chance you can sing and dance while meandering thru Manhattan? You know the song, "New York, New York, a helluva town........."
If I was to sing while walking around, it would probably be more Jim Croce than most people realize is possible!
Born and raised, still living in NYC. I love his knowledge about the City. There's the other guy, called Action Kid. Walking around with no knowledge at all talking shit like oh there's Armani, oh look aMc Donalds! What books do recommend about NY History?
Can you like make a videos about reviewing dorm in Nolita and NoHo
I covered a little of NoLita in my Little Italy tour but NoHo would be good. Thanks!
