Just remember to be aware of you’re surroundings and cautious and you will have a great time. NYC is a fast paced city with an uptick in crime and crime happens anywhere even in areas like soho, but as long as you’re aware of your surroundings and cautious you’ll be fine. Enjoy 😊
John, thank you so much for recognizing the FDNY Museum. Although my Dad was not an FDNY member, he was a volunteer firefighter in our community for many years. This meant a lot to him! Thanks again
Soho is an amazing neighborhood. I’m still surprised to see so many of my friends think of Soho as only high-end shopping place and expensive bars. It has great architecture, history, and a great place to walk around during the day.
I had an apartment on Houston Street when I was going to the High School of Art and Design in late 70s. Soho was artist lofts, bodegas, bars, murals and graffiti. It was a wonderful place to live. I can't imagine being able to afford it now.
After 4 trips to nyc in the past 4 years we have yet to make it to soho maybe next trip. You name it We have done it lol. We ate and visited about 80% of your choices and follow your videos all year long and take notes of places to eat and visit. We already have a list of our top choices that are repeats. We find ourselves in the village a lot to eat! So many choices for great deals. Fun fact the wife and I were married 9/11 which some say sucks but we use it as not only an anniversary but a day to remember the fallen.
I work security here in Soho. BEEN HERE ABOUT NEARLY 2 YEARS. I JUST WANNA SAY THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF THE YOUNG WOMEN AROUND HERE IS ASTOUNDING!!!!!!!😍😍
I see a Here Be Barr video. I click on Here Be Barr video. Thanks for the awesome content, it’s going to come in so handy for my trip to New York in 2 weeks!
Jon The FDNY Museum is one of my favorite museums in Manhattan. I use to go there after visiting my brother at his work place . SOHO is a decent neighborhood to walk thru. I walked thru it by going up Ave of America's ( 6 Ave ) all the way up to Times Square area. Sometimes to 34 street to MSG for the Rangers. Also walked Across SOHO into Little Italy into Chinatown to get to Grand Street for the B train to get me home to Sheepshead Bay .
Keep them coming. I'm going to new york this December hopefully. Your videos have brought great value to people who gave traveled or will be traveling to New york!
Great title. Dang it, wish I would of known about that cheap store. And that burger bun looked delicious. Please try the burger at Raoul's, you'll love it, trust me
There was this art space in Soho called The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. It lived at 594 Broadway from 2003 - 2012, and focused mostly on comic books, comic strips and other forms of cartoon art. One of my favorite memories as a volunteer there was helping promote the Saturday Morning Cartoons exhibit that came with an actual Smurf village set. My part in the promotion was "befriending" a Smurf character which gave me a whole new perspective on character performers of that kind.
What an excellent video (again). Your guides are superb and of course you have to include some food items within it. It wouldn't be a Here Be Barr video without this. I have always liked SoHo and always visit. I will be next year to when we return although I have made note of some of these places mentioned in this video. Great work again.
I too hope for another visit in 2023. I visited Soho on my first trip in 2018, but was with family and there was an itinerary to follow. The City was also heaving and it became tiring just fighting through the crowds of fellow tourists.
I really enjoyed this video. I've been to SoHo, but never spent much time there. This gives me some ideas of a new neighborhood to explore with my camera once I relocate back to NYC.
Soho really changed I lived in the village back in tbe 90s. I would walk down to Soho quite often. It was not built up as now -largely Italian. Area became gentrified as many other areas in NY. It was more mom and pop stores. Old style apt buildings and parks. It became a big shopping area. Yes fire museum So I guess depending if you like this kind of set up you will really like it. If you don't like this type of thing will not. There were many loft apartments back in the 90s but due to change in NYC laws many disappeared. Lots of galleries I would highly recommend to check out the older businesses. Interesting area Lastly I lived in 220 Sullivan bet Bleecker/West 3rd. Great video thumbs up. Heading to 300K subscribers. Check out Murray Hill lots of history.
I thought Pearl River Mart in SoHo closed! So glad to see it's still open; it was one of my favorite places to stop. Couldn't ever afford to eat in the restaurants in that area back when I lived in NYC, but these are good tips if I ever make it back nowadays.
I worked on West Broadway at a jewelry shop around 2009-11. WB has a very different vibe that Broadway, kind of a European type street scene. Ansel Bakery had not yet opened, it was another café we used to go to for lunch and I recall being gutted that they had closed. Great nabe for a summer stroll!
I went to BITE in SoHo on Price Street, they make custom made lipstick, Clarins discontinued my shade, I brought a sample and they recreated it perfectly, that is a bougie thing to do
Vincent Gigante, head of the Genovese mafia family in the '70s-'80s used to walk the streets of Soho in a bathrobe and slippers acting very weird (to throw off the cops). He was called the "Oddfather".
Please think about doing WestBeth one day. Would love to see it all again. TH-cam is finally helping you support your family Your stuff is great and your numbers keep going up.
Hi Jon. Fancy doing a video on the best places to propose in NYC? I’m coming out to visit in December and I’ll be popping the question. So far I have 1VB at the top of my list. A video on some other great places would be great. Thanks - Chris.
The Cronut comes in a new flavor every month and they never bring a flavor back, so once it's gone it's gone. Oh I wish only for that could I come to NYC every month haha
My sister had a loft on Mercer St. in the early 1970s. There used to be a pickle factory in the building and the basement still contained casks of pickles.
@@jaska8798 There is a video telling the history of the soho and how far it has came. Don't want to advertise content on another's page but the algorithm is what showed me this video so..lol
I cant wait to go back home! I also seen the city got rid of Broadway streets near Times Square. I bet that sucks for all the people that used to take that route everyday.
There used to be a store on Houston when my now late 30s daughters were teens called yellow rat bastard that they purchased something just to get a bag marked as such.
That was a very interesting tour. Thank you. The milk in that cookie thing how cool and inventive. So glad you said all people to comment will be sent one. I wish. Be well good luck with childbirth Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
Can you do a kids friendly museum or attractions? Safety? There was some stuff you mentioned in other videos but it would be nice to have a video dedicated for a family that is bringing kids to see NYC. I am visiting there in November with my 4 yr old, we are tagging along my husband's business trip, during the day it will just be kiddo and me, I gotta look for some fun entertaining things for an energetic kiddo.
Soho was nothing but a factory dump years ago during the recession, people could get factory size apartments for Pennie’s, and those who took advantage made the best investments ever… 👍🏼👏🏼😉
I LOVE Israeli food -- yes, so healthy, lots of flavor - and Yummy!!!! I especially like falafels, eggplant (they make it several different ways) and the salads. Thanks for bringing attention to the small businesses - they really need to be applauded. I was born in 1940 on Lewis St. and Stanton - Lewis St. is long gone. The apartment buildings were 2-stories - many people arrived from Eastern Europe - and everyone knew each other. Both of my parents were born in NYC. In 1946, I went to PS 188 on Houston St. - when America was GREAT!!!!
That Fire Department Museum was fascinating, something I would have loved being able to go to & learn about. Meal liked wonderful. Hope you are having a great weekend.

Any update on your trip? Did you go already?

John, thank you so much for recognizing the FDNY Museum. Although my Dad was not an FDNY member, he was a volunteer firefighter in our community for many years. This meant a lot to him! Thanks again
Very welcome

NYC has everything ! Can't get bored. Thanks Jon for the videos. They are Great !
Soho is an amazing neighborhood. I’m still surprised to see so many of my friends think of Soho as only high-end shopping place and expensive bars. It has great architecture, history, and a great place to walk around during the day.
You will never run out of things to do in NYC Jon ! I have to visit Soho next time I'm in New York.

'I can't imagine being able to afford it now.' You can't unless you are making serious money.
Soho was the place to hangout back in my high school days, changed a lot since but still fun to visit
oh i bet

MY FAVORITE PLACE TO VISIT IN NYC. AND PEOPLE WATCHING IS AWESOME TOO!!!!
I love walking around Soho! The cobblestone streets are so charming. Really might go get one of those cronuts like.. right now lol. 😍
i prefer the cookie shot, unless you're into floral flavors for this months cronut!
Great title. Dang it, wish I would of known about that cheap store. And that burger bun looked delicious. Please try the burger at Raoul's, you'll love it, trust me
I was considering it haha but I had to go w a spot I knew well. I will try it though
Would like to revist NYC again and try out those restaurants. Last time we went was March 2020, and now things look more re-opened.

do it!
@@fernkitty do you live there?
Just booked our trip to NYC! So excited 😃
Love your content
Another quality, helpful video Jon! Eastside video…SOHO…I highly recommend you, this channel and it’s easy to know why. Thank you!
Thanks Jim
I'm definitely moving to NYC next year I can't wait.

Ansel Bakery had not yet opened, it was another café we used to go to for lunch and I recall being gutted that they had closed. Great nabe for a summer stroll!
I love Pearl River!
It used to be situated in a rabbit warren of a building, a fire hazard of the first order! I miss it!
Yes this was the first time I went to the new lcoation.
I love that Keep Calm and Cronut On sign at the bakery shop. Nice play on words! Those cookie shots sound so good! I want to try those someday!
I went to BITE in SoHo on Price Street, they make custom made lipstick, Clarins discontinued my shade, I brought a sample and they recreated it perfectly, that is a bougie thing to do
Might have to get a cookie shot or 7. Yeah….totally for my kids lol
Great vid, probably the best about SOHO on YT.
Vincent Gigante, head of the Genovese mafia family in the '70s-'80s used to walk the streets of Soho in a bathrobe and slippers acting very weird (to throw off the cops). He was called the "Oddfather".
I always look forward to you informative ,fun ,and entertaining videos!
Awesome to see my native portuguese flag in the video🇵🇹🇺🇸
Hey Jon, just got back from NYC. 12 Chairs was great. The Arayes was %100. Thanks.
There’s another 12 Chairs in Williamsburg, another neighborhood popular with tourists.
I love soho, that bakery was on the news
Thanks for the information as always. Thanks I learned about new places in NYC. Always something new there. The best city
Surely have to try 12 chairs!
I love Soho! Every time I gone to NYC, I go to the Nike Lab, the Coach store & Anzel bakery. I beed to check out the other places
I'm more a Converse store kinda guy. We cut that scene from the video.
@@HereBeBarr I will look for that store. Thanks!
I would like to go there. For the clothing, and that lamb burger. Cheers! ✌️
The fire museum was the best part.
I just used khonsu to plan my trip here on the 22nd and used your code and I’m excited 😊
Yes, my favorite part of the city!
Please think about doing WestBeth one day. Would love to see it all again. TH-cam is finally helping you support your family Your stuff is great and your numbers keep going up.
Always nice videos!! Thank you very much ! Greetings from France!
Soho on next visit for me!! 😊😊🇹🇹🇹🇹
Loved this video. Keep up the great work. Definitely going to SoHo.
Hi Jon. Fancy doing a video on the best places to propose in NYC? I’m coming out to visit in December and I’ll be popping the question. So far I have 1VB at the top of my list.
A video on some other great places would be great. Thanks - Chris.
The crownut sounds almost like køroner/Koroner (Danish krone/crown ). Too cool! Qujanaq (thank you in Kalaallisut Greenlandic inuit language (eskimo)
WOW there's a Portugal FLAG next to the Sulivan street board :) Why is that? I'm from Portugal :)
I’m not a tourist (born and live in nyc) but I love soho cus u can hit up all the stores u like in one block lol
The Cronut comes in a new flavor every month and they never bring a flavor back, so once it's gone it's gone. Oh I wish only for that could I come to NYC every month haha
That explains it
I wish I saw this before I went to Soho today!! I might have to go back to see the museums!
My sister had a loft on Mercer St. in the early 1970s. There used to be a pickle factory in the building and the basement still contained casks of pickles.
Thank you for this. Always well done.
Chef’s kiss. HBB plz leave Ben’s fashion sense alone.
Hahahha. I have a similar minimalist style, he just doesn't get on camera enough to fire back at me.
the dark side of soho is the craziest thing about living in soho
Sounds interesting! But why?
@@jaska8798 There is a video telling the history of the soho and how far it has came. Don't want to advertise content on another's page but the algorithm is what showed me this video so..lol
Amazing video. Amazing food, just exceptional.
Great video! SoHo looks like fun!!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Did you realize that the clip from the FDNY museum featured Scott Davidson, Pete Davidson’s dad?
Yes, very sad...
I'm enjoying this video... still watching.. Shhh! i'm watching this!
it's good.
I cant wait to go back home! I also seen the city got rid of Broadway streets near Times Square. I bet that sucks for all the people that used to take that route everyday.
12 Chairs is amazing! 🪑⭐️
1:28 definitely gotta try a cookie shot.
There used to be a store on Houston when my now late 30s daughters were teens called yellow rat bastard that they purchased something just to get a bag marked as such.
If your heading to NYC or Bruuuklin for food spots review John's videos. You will not be disappointed. Excellent spots. Thank John!
That was a very interesting tour. Thank you. The milk in that cookie thing how cool and inventive. So glad you said all people to comment will be sent one. I wish. Be well good luck with childbirth

It was an honor to be a part of your Stream today I really want to do a Kalab with you someday and I really wish the best for you my man
Not sure if you’ve done Arthur Street in the Bronx, but there considered quite authentic. I actually heard Italian spoken on the streets.
Another great video! Have you done a tribeca video yet?
I haven't actually.
What a Boujee day at Soho!
by my standards it was haha
Enjoy your videos extremely! Can you suggest a location where I could get a eye level view of one of NYC's water tanks for a picture?
Can you do a video on Noho next. I don’t know what it’s like.
... very nice ... thank ...
would love to go New York city Just to see NYFD museum
Next year I will finally visit New York. Nice to see that you are drinking German beer 🍺👍🏼
John, love NYC! Crime is out of control. Hope the politicians and residents who elect them realize, without safety, you have nothing.
They won’t learn. Crime will only get worse. Rent will only go up. Smart people will move away. Stupid hipsters will stick around and get robbed.
gracias
excellent video
Very nice video of soho! Can you do more vlogs in Staten Island?
