🙋🏽♀️ Local here: Manhattan beach is way less populated than Brighton and Coney Island, BUT way less enjoyable, I promise even the sand is grittier somehow. Brighton Beach (which i also prefer over Coney Island Beach) has way more food options than Manhattan Beach and you have the convenience of stores to shop at right down the block from the beach. Literally anything you could need: sun block, fresh fruits, sandwiches, beer, water juice, soda, swimsuits, beach toys, towels, pizza, etc is just one block away lol
I grew up in Brighton Beach. From birth 1950 to 1971. It was mostly Jews and Italians back then. My mon lived there till 2010. Corbin would have not been happy. Was a great neighborhood to grow up. Walk to the beach, Coney Island and the playgrounds. Played Basketball at that park you were standing at in Manhattan Beach and the one on Brighton 2nd St constantly. In the 70’s they had this “save Soviet Jewery” and the government let in thousands of Russian and Ukrainian Jews. Eventually taking over the neighborhood. As it is today. Thanks for your work covering NYC.
I was born in 1976 so I’m a lot younger than you but I lived in Brighton 4th and Neptune Avenue 2872 building up the block from grady high school
My family traces our ancestry back to the Dutch colonial period in Gravesend. Some of our ancestors were Lenapehoking/Canarsee but mostly they were of African descent, enslaved by the Lott family. Many of the men served in the Civil War with some returning afterwards. In the late 19th early 20th century they worked at the race track and at the resorts. All of the jockeys, trainers and groomers were Black back then. The Black community was centered around East 15th street where they built a church on East 15th/Avenue X called the First Baptist Mission of Sheepshead Bay in 1899. The church is still there. Brighton has always been diverse. It is important for subsequent generations to know the story of the people who came before them. .
You left before the city turned into a gutter in the 70s and 80s. The city turned around in the mid 90s to the 2000s but it catered to the well off and not the working class.
@@Allenryan81970s and 80s New York was a garbage can and it wasn't good until Giuliani came to power and even then it too a few years to improve.
Thanks for another great video. Subscribers growing I see! Next up 100k -you deserve it. Thanks for allll the great content!
In the 70s I was a teenager and we had so much fun at Brighton Beach, we would buy a hot bagel and coke by the subway stop. Great times.
Nice informational video, loved the fun and enthusiasm in presenting content and history. ❤❤😊😊
That pigeon @ 4:35 used to live in Manhattan, got tired of the pollution and noise, and general filth and cost... flew to the beach and never looked back ;)
too many cars in manhattan. they are the bulk of pollution and noise.
I love your video. Good for you and Rob. Very interesting. You have a great vibration. Blessings.
Great video Tom, my great grandpa moved to Brighton Beach because of the pogroms, and had a thriving furrier business, great to see some of the sights of the neighborhood, as well as understand the irony of Jewish immigration to this area of NY. Tambien, me encanto tu video de Panama! Soy un "zonian" y los detalles que relatas de Bunau-Varilla son super interesantes! Keep up the good work bud!
When I was growing up the nicest beach of the 3 was Manhattan Beach. If you didn’t have a car you could take the Ocean Avenue bus to Emmons and walk the rest of the way.
yo this was amazing! thank you!
I saw Tom couple month ago waiting for G Train at 9th and 4th Avenue station, chowing down a sandwich.
Sick plug!
I'm starting to get hungry. So glad I have homemade lasagna baking. lol
I saw that man in the East village crossing the street 2 years ago, he is a local legend
Another great tour and history lesson.
Another excellent video.
Hey Tom! What's up? Wow! Really into Coney Island and Brighton Beach! They are nice neighborhoods!
Tomdnyc strikes again,,,Fantastic!
Love these type of videos
Great as always
Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan is a great book and this is a great video.
12:18 my grandfather in the 1970's lived in a house just like this on brighton 2nd. would take the f train. it was the days of wicker seats and real metal "straps" the lights would flicker when passing a tie. would walk over to the acquarium and the rides..
ps known many who lived on ocean parkway
You made it look clean… 21:40
ooooo my happy place, I'm just going there now
Ah so that's why Lord of War was the answer to the movie question the other night at Lucky Jack's! Love you Tom!
FYI, Lake Michigan, which is the lake on which Chicago sits, is the deadliest of the Great Lakes, due to the number of people who have drowned while swimming or boating. There are also many airplanes that have crashed in the lake.
Brighton Beach has always been in the middle neighborhood. It was never as bad as Coney Island, but was never as good as Manhattan Beach.😂 but I still have love for my neighborhood that I was raised 😂
It's been decades since I've been out to Coney Island, and that was a field trip to the aquarium; how is it now?
Tom when are you doing Philly? We have one or two historical places.
I used to live there in the late 00s with my cousin Roman. Good times👍
👍 Thanks Tom 😁
Sick Nicholas Cage cameo! Loved him as Speckles in Disney’s 2009 classic, G-Force!
Another really cool thing about Brighton Beach and Brighton Beach Ave is that the Russian mob movie "Brother 2" (2000) is filmed there and is a cult classic. Also that movie plotline is the inspo for Grand Theft Auto 4. Highly recommend watching brother 1 and 2!
The first immigrant group were not Jewish. If we're going to tell these stories please let's tell them correctly. My family traces our ancestry back to the Dutch colonial period in Gravesend. Some of our ancestors were Lenapehoking/Canarsee but mostly they were of African descent, enslaved by the Lott family. Many of the men served in the Civil War with some returning afterwards. In the late 19th early 20th century they worked at the race track and at the resorts. All of the jockeys, trainers and groomers were Black back then.

nice video man! discovered your channel last year Tom! hope you do videos on California and Texas (and other states) in the future. 😁
I was born and raised in Queens New York and as a child my family went to Rockaway and Far Rockaway Beach. I also went to Brighten Beach and Coney Island. and we took the safe subways back then to get to Brighten from Queens. As at teen we went to Jones Beach, but it was The Rockaways and Brighten Beach that I as more comfortable with. We were Italian immigrants and back then there was no Russian community in Brighten Beach. It was beautiful back in the 1950s and 1960s. the whole area was family friendly and very home..the best time ever!!!!
Went to Lincoln High School. I know there’s a Part 2 to this video. Another great one by the way.
Another great movie that takes place there is Brighton Beach Memuars, one of the trilogy movies based on plays by, Neil Simon& Jonathan Silverman. Wonderful movie. ❤❤❤
The dredging of the Sound and the harbor, I just heard about. I had no idea they are so shallow! The harbor is only 25 feet deep? That's a diving pool!
Sweaty work, Tom, but it beats lawyering. Keep it up.
I thought he was joking about beaches in Duluth, but apparently there's a Brighton Beach in Duluth Minnesota. Sick Plug Bro!
Brighton Beach the neighborhood that was born and raised wasn’t always Russian used to be a Jewish community when I was a little kid in the 70s and 80s and the Russians started coming
I luv Brighton Beach and Coney Island ❤
I'm learning Russian, so I've been wanting to visit Brighton beach and get some practice in
Было интересно. תודה רבה
New video dropped 🔥🔥🔥
A Russian accent mixed with a Brooklyn accent is terrifying😱
😂
lol
I forgot to ask what it sounds like?
park in the driveway, drive down the parkway. How about the elevated subway?
Dude you have to get some longer shorts
Boomer
Good video. Brighton Beach is essentially a congested, noisy Russian-speaking ghetto.
thank you
Pretty cool
"Austin Corben" is a weird name for John Travolta!
Rockaways next?
I love Rockaway too....
@@dissidentfairy4264 only problem is the bus ride is too slow
@@joejones9520 I guess we could walk:-)
My parents neighborhood for years and where I grew up for two and a half years and my brother's first few months before moving to North Miami. Sick Plug
It seems so quiet
OMG…it’s Tommy D…
Pembroke is Wales, not England.
Lol I've lived in Tulsa at one time. And most always Oklahoma. Even paid rent with a pistol once.
Tom When are you going live
j
Probably not that many buildings in New York that didn't appear in one or another Nicholas Cage film.
What kind of husband and wife go to lunch and split the bill? Babe you got the Snapple so you get the tip
Every time I watch your channel I get pregnant.😍😘
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fun fact there were plantations all the way into the 1950s. The late quarterback Steve McNair's mother was born on one. When he got his NFL money, he bought it for her.
Those countries did exist, but were occupied by Russia 🙄
As an Oklahoman, sick Tulsa plug!
Just like the carrabien.

I missed the old Coney Island and Brighton beach. Now I wont visit. Dont like the vibe of these people here. Sorry
Coney Island has sadly become very ghetto.Not sure how safe Brighton Beach is.
how irrelevant and insensitive to make a video about russian community when Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. As someone who is observing hundreds of Ukrainians being murdered every day, seeing the words “fascinating” and “russian” in one sentence shows how huge is the gap between those who experience this war first hand and people who may be supporting Ukraine but do not have direct relation to it. Russian, at least at this moment in history, should be synonymous to murderous, then no one would think of putting it next to the word “fascinating”. Unsubscribed
Your country has committed plenty of genocides, so sit your ass back down.
I'm fully supportive of Ukraine, but these are people that fled Russia and the other former Soviet republics. I didn't get any vibe that this video was supportive of Russia.
Many Russian's are opposed to the invasion of Ukraine. You can't blame the people for being ruled by a dictator and tyrant, anymore than you can blame Tom for covering the history of Brighton Beach. Just because we know of evil Hitler doesn't mean we support him. I hope you consider resubscribing to this great channel. I'm sure he didn't mean to offend you.
@@dissidentfairy4264 90+ % support what Russia is doing in Ukraine against NATO and its puppet regime there. You don’t speak for Russians. Delusional! You’re on the wrong and losing side of history supporting NATO/Ukraine.
waawaa
goooooooooooaaaaal
