Great, you are old and got to live in some fun scenes. But this is a list of your favorite neighborhoods but you would not live in 4 of them? Make zero sense.
He’s saying he wouldn’t live there because the neighborhoods have changed so much since he lived there. Thats why he said he would still live in Tribeca bc the neighborhood is as he remembers it
I'm not sure what he means. From rural Newfoundland, Canada 😂 Are bridges that bad in New York? I'm gonna come one day just to eat pizza so I'll find out sooner or later.
@@fistmcstrongpunch2776 lol it's just an expression for neighborhoods further outside the city - essentially he's just being a giant snob to get a reaction.
People who access Manhattan via bridges or tunnels are NOT New Yorkers for someone who lives on said island. You don’t get it if you don’t live in Manhattan. I did for 20 years. Sorry, but you don’t want to be “bridge and tunnel” when you live in Manhattan
It took me awhile to realize Manhattanites are snooty. I actually had a relative from the city ask me how often I go apple picking. Mind you I live in Brooklyn. 😂
Yup. And they're always an older Boomer! All these "Brooklyn/Queens -- ugh, B&T" types don't realize we feel the same about Manhattan. Just as he says, most of the neighborhoods below 59th, particularly downtown, are just glorified malls. Other than the architecture, it could be in Paramus.
I'm a true NYer born and raised in Bklyn and never wanted to live in Manhattan. It sucked. Wanna be with my own people, and back then we all did that. But give this guy some credit, at least he's from NY, nuthin funnier than someone from California or Connecticut calling Bklyn people "bridge and tunnel people"
Queens is one place I always got lost .and do not feel you are in America 50 years ago was nice now is like you are in Bangladesh . So as some part of NJ.
@@mangafq8 one of the best parts about FH is that half of the neighborhood feels like NYC and the other half feels like the suburbs but is a mere steps away from city living
@@yvonneplant9434 never said its not supposed to be crowded. there's crowded and there's "too crowded". Brooklyn and Queens are crowded, Manhattan is too crowded.
I did the Manhattan party thing in my youth. East Side, West Side, downtown.. then I grew up and chose Forest Hills, Queens. Beautiful private tree lined streets, pretty shopping area, 25 minutes to midtown via subway or LIRR. Best of both worlds.
That opening scene of the West Village at #5 is Grove St. north side of the street, headed toward Bleeker. I grew up at 26 Grove , across the street and closer to Bedford.
Hey do you know about parkchester in the bronx. Many many trees parks A gorgeous water fountain. With many flowers in the summer. Multicultural. Check it out
This old-school Jewish NY accent is dying out with the boomers. Young people don't speak like that. even Jewish kids. It's an old relic kept alive by Hollywood.
You could tell he stopped hanging by '85 latest, cuz he went frkm hippie (1966-1975) to soho loft era (1972 - 1979) and then punk (1977-1983) so the latest he would've been outside before 'retiring' to Tribeca was by 1985.
Manhattan does not still have the top 5 neighborhoods in NYC, unless you want to live in a shopping mall everyday of your life. Brooklyn is much more residential and quiet, but everything you need is downtown or right in your neighborhood. Brooklyn items don’t even need to go into Manhattan anymore.
I feel like I am the only New Yorker, who doesn't want my community highlighted in the media at all. I don't mind seeing Manhattan and Brooklyn receive the good publicity.
I lived in all them neighborhoods, I'd say, your right, except you have it backwards and you forgot the upperwest, also, I thought I wouldn't think of B&T until I moved to Bayridge.
Yes, "boring suburbs" where we can work hard and own a house in 15-20 years. I meet busloads of people who have fled NYC -- including my father's entire family.
The most privileged boomer!

Greenwich village, Soho, East Village/Alphabet City, Gramercy Park,Tribeca all lower Manhattan.

Crazy! Queens and Brooklyn are where it at! You can get away from all that Manhattan noise! Flatlands Brooklyn is peaceful. So is Laurelton Queens.
I think it very much depends on the neighborhood.
Personally I like bed-stuy or green point
Lmao ah huh

Na man. I was born and raised in BK lived for the 37 years. Had to leave. The place became a 3rd world dirtbag borough. Same goes for queens.
You’re nuts. Brooklyn rocks.
Brooklyn you can actually live in.
manhattan sucks now, way too crowded/expensive. queens and brooklyn are the real NYC and forest hills is the best neighborhood in the city imho.
Manhattan is the meca the main borough every body wants to be here

Too expensive to live but West Village with Chelsea market,the High Rise, the Whitney museum and the Meat Packing shopping area. Safe, walkable

You can say that because you have l9ts of money, many of us dnt have those options
New York was probably wonderful before the 60s
It felt like I was hitching a ride on a time machine w/ him, lol.
OMG, this guy really lived a great life, from hippie, artist community, punk rock,cetc.
Now preppy. Miss the hipster.
You mean he just conformed to CIA propaganda like all rich boomers.
Hey what’s wrong with jersey😢
He truly is Mr New York!
bro. he is manhattan. the city’s much more than that.
He doesn’t even go to Brooklyn? Def not Mr. New York lol
No way he is just a dude afraid to live the real New York
@@omarrashid4822don’t let Darlene know that there’s an entire state that this poser has yet to see because he’s scared of bridges and tunnels.

how do you go from being a hippie to being into punk rock?
So ancient he must be dutch
He’s lived so many lives
He is in his 60's so 45 year of living
Upper West Side is the best Manhattan neighborhood hands down. Everything else is tourists, NYU kids, shopping or office buildings.
Old school NY white dude. I f**ks with you. I don't do Bridge & tunnel. This is the guy who got REAL NYC STORIES!
He speaks of NYC under Bloomberg. The NYC now is a wreck.
I love Manhattan , born and raised . To me is not a “ wreck”
Giuliani & Bloomberg who continued his policies
Oooooooh you are so Lucky! And a great dresser
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU 💯👏👌👍❤️
I love New York! I lived in the lower side, Delaney, Houston Street
Delancy. LES. Alphabet City.
Brooklyn & Queens are the answer
There’s nothin like Brooklyn… 😎
This is John Mullaney’s character!
I love old New Yorkers who still have the accent! Future generations will not understand that "bridge & tunnel" use to be an insult.
Don’t forget you’ll still get robbed and mugged or attacked no matter where you are in nyc
Wow, BOUT TO MOVE THERE TOMORROW BRO!!!
Brooklyn nice though
Hippie/Punk to Real Estate Agent is a crazy switchup

Have you ever been th The Bronx?
John Mulaney has really refined this character
“I would never do bridge and tunnel” lmao
Chelsea chiming in.... Lots of good restaurants, the hi-line. etc etc... central between lots of great areas but costs less
I feel him about not doing the bridge and tunnel.
Mans got more phases than the moon
You had a lot of fun as a teen my guy ..😊
Quite a few years inbetween East Village and Gramercy Park...😂😂😂

The East Village used to be similar to the Bowery.
Maybe because it's close.
The east village was a scary when I was growing up in the 70s 80s and the bowery, forget about it.
What about Far Rockaway?
He's the embodiment on John Mulaney's George St. Geegland character
My favorite is the south Bronx in the early 80’s Look like Beirut back then
you belong in Scarsdale!
He's like Andrew Lieberman from Big Mouth... love it.
Fort Greene BK all day!

People die 15-20 years and don't even pay their mortgage off. Smart NYers flood other cities and buy up property. @Duke_of_Prunes
He’s correct however I would definitely live in SoHo!
I had a 2000 square-foot one bedroom two bath condo on the 40th floor of Trump Tower for $3000 a month
Dude's literally just explaining how he comes from a LOT of money.
My dream! I love NY❤
Rich ppl don't need to do bridge and tunnel. How shocking!
From hippie to punk. In this order. Yes, sure...😂
Top 5 Manhattan neighborhoods more like it. Manhattan isn't the only borough.
Is this a John Mulanney character? lol
The boroughs wouldn’t want ya anyway
Unaffordable to most people. The city is no longer ours
