the lady kept telling him it wasn’t a mall and he kept calling it a mall...you can tell she was annoyed
its a mall
it's not a mall lmao. A mall is an entire closed building with the stores inside. This is a more plaza-esque layout
Yeah, she's also WILDY pretentious. It's a mall. Mall = a large building or series of connected buildings containing a variety of retail stores and typically also restaurants. Sorry.
Yousef Khan bullshit there are open malls. I can name you a few.
Well, wathever it is. He didn't respect the lady he talked to.
Comments:
99% : The Host
1% : The Shops
🤣
The Stock Market Investor yea
"We're not a mall, we're a shopping centre" - host continues to refer to it as a mall throughout the entire segment.
Because it is... A mall. He is just calling her on her bs, that's a mall, shopping centre making it feel classy, hey if the king is naked he is naked.
Where's the pretzel shop at ????? This mall
+Eddy mmm Actually, a mall is generally defined as a series of stores in an enclosed building or series of buildings, whereas a shopping center is a series of stores that share a building, but not an internal access.
Basically, can you go between stores without going outside? Then it's a mall. If you have to go outside to get to different stores, it's a shopping center.
Some people use the words differently, but she's not wrong.
4:12 60 years ago there was a super market and a movie theater...
It's a Strip mall, it was designed as the buffer zone between residential and and an obstruction (northern Blvd). Strip malls were built by property owner to earn revenue because it was undesirable residential development land. Property owners would sit on strip malls until they were bought out by other developers. But in this case it evolved into a destination retail location. This is a basic in Urban Design history.
Malls are typically a bunch of stores all housed inside one large building this is a shopping center I think we also used to call them plazas.
As somebody from Long Island, he kind of dropped the ball on this place. There's so much to talk about, and he barely scratched the surface.
They dont even go there... they use personal shoppers instead!
Tsetsi 😁
most people don't use personal shoppers. This place is packed almost every day with people shopping for themselves.
Matt XX I live there lmao. There’s no personal shopper there. I mean mostly are not.
@@unarc3323 I live there too and there are personal shoppers...
Most rich people don’t use personal shoppers. Most rich people shop themselves cause they enjoy shopping.
I love this series but wish it was hosted by someone else.
never a truer statement will be uttered in these comments...
What about BRÜNO?
New face of Money is Asian. Get used to it buddy.
LOL it's about his personality not his race!!!!!!
Lol, no offense, he has no knowledge or background in in exclusive consumptions. No wealthy person will ask the questions he’s asking because those are stupid questions, while coming off as condescending sometimes.
90% of the comments are how they don’t like the host and 10% of them are about how he kept calling the shopping center a mall😂😂
In the uk a “shopping centre” is basically a mall.That whole area is just extra lol
that's your own colloquial lingo. a shopping center is not a mall though. this is not one building it's a plaza with separate stores outside, not in a closed giant building
Yousef Khan Outlet malls are plazas with outdoor shops though.
Not the uk
Mall: Shops inside one building.
Shopping Center: Shops within an area (it could be indoor and outdoor).
Also mall offer wide variety of goods when shopping center usually focused on one kind of goods.
In America, a shopping center is called an outdoor mall. But these people want to make it sound fancier I guess.
I have such wonderful memories here as a child. My parents loved to shop at a store called daffy’s which used to be on the other side of manhasset. She passed away in 2003, but the memories of her I have shopping with such joy are more precious to me than any of the fine goods that shopping center contains.
He keeps calling it "the Manhasset". Manhasset is the name of the town. The mall is "the Americana".
1:43 Damnnn TESLA is a CONTEMPORARY BRAND
ravinderpal singh you can buy 2 Tesla’s for the same price as an S-Class with options
isn;t it?
Tesla is much nicer than an s-class
whats does mean contemporary here? ...like cheaper???, I thought of contemporary, as in much newer and modern brands maybe?...
@@waltera.6654 A step below luxury. Vince a clothing brand is contemporary selling $400 sweaters for example rather then Gucci at $1000 for a sweater.
I grew up shopping at this “mall” and it really does cater to everything from “Gap to Gucci” ......so to speak. It is nice but w/NY weather, it is much more enjoyable in Fall & Spring.
The host is like a kid with his face pressed against the window of a shop he could never afford to go in.
Its relatable
Haha
Same.
I wouldn't wanna go in. 12k for a shirt made in Mexico shipped to America and you leave with a name brand and empty wallet. It matters little how rich you are just doesn't make sense.
Dane Pacheco Other than the avocados on the toast...the there's not much from Mexico in that shopping center.
The owner of Hershlifer wears a Richard Mille. The retail game is strong in the luxury sector.
I’m so low budget, I don’t even know what that is without googling. Guess I’m never visiting that shopping center.
This is just a Private Rhodeo Drive
With less stores since they are so "exclusive"
Rodeo
its not private, anyone can shop here
I used to shop there. The clients are snooty. I remember one day I took my lunch break to shop at the Brooks Brothers store. I liked to wear brooks brothers shirts and ties to work. The males in the men’s department were whispering to each other that I must be wearing a uniform. They might have been security or store attendants. In other words They were saying he (me) doesn’t belong here. That is the type of micro aggression and racism I experienced at this mall.
fuck that idiots smh
Solutionist ' Uhhh ever heard of racial profiling/ prejudice? It’s not unheard of for employees in luxury stores to have prejudice against a certain race like Blacks because they think Blacks must be poor and cannot afford luxury goods.
Heard what she said and it's a shopping center not a mall. Technically in meaning they may not be somehow the same but in general they are. Like duh without their costumers they are nothing.
johnyXXX, he asked how this was racism, not how this was prejudice. These are 2 different things.
Umm... no they are not. Prejudice based on race. Is that not the definition of racism? Perhaps take two seconds to google and you may learn something new. I will even do it for you to save you the hassle.
---------------------
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
---------------------
Literally the first word that comes up is **prejudice**. You can deny it all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that incidents like these still happen every day in 2018. I am sure it has never happened to you. It has never happened to me either, but sometimes you need to stand in someone else's shoes and show some empathy for their struggle. What if you were the Black man who got followed around in luxury stores, given weird looks, while the employees whisper to each other about you? You can be successful and have all the money in the world, but the color of your skin doesn't change.
I have been going to this shopping center for years. Its just your regular shopping center. I would just go there casually.
Didn’t ask
Wow... America has a lot to learn from Europe when it comes to high-end shopping...
Me because im from Long Island and go there and never thought it was that “big” or there would be a video of it
it seems kinda...like every other shopping center lmao
big facts my man. Most long islanders would rather go to RF or the Nordstrom shopping center next door to it
@Bryan Tapuy I know right
Exactly that’s what I was saying
Trey Diggz I like walt whitman better to be fair
Its so cool for a place that I regularly shop at and pass by being in a youtube video with over one million views.
Dude we need to hang out sometime
When you live 5 minutes from this plaza and can’t understand why anyone would want to feature it on TH-cam because it seems so normal.
Daniel Blake send money pls i am in dire need
ja, its a quick run in, you can call ahead, or have it sent, but its nice to go with a friend, have lunch, see whats new and think about gifts.
Facts
Not all of us are rich
You’re rich
It was always a beautiful shopping center. I worked there at B Altman’s. Bonwit Teller was across the street. There was also Williams-Sonoma, Franklin Simon and so many nice stores. One by one they closed and now it’s like Rodeo Drive. Very stuck up. No fun at all. They cater to extreme high end clientele.
That's the bougiest strip mall I've ever seen.
It’s not mall
Go there every year, it’s a very fancy strip mall...
auxmike Uh, I live like a few minutes away from there. It’s nothing too fancy...
gluxeo go in those shops and they follow you around. I only go into London jewelers.....
It’s really not as fancy as they make it look. It’s a tiny place
My dad took us to a Japanese restaurant there called Toku, he’d been saving for months 😂. After we finished my brother and I walked around the ‘mall’ for a while and where shocked with the amount of luxury stores there. I’d never seen any of these stores, let alone been in them.
1:48 guy at the back expells a sick vape cloud
I remember when it used to have a grocery store towards the front (facing the street) and wasn't so high end as a kid.
I think the producers of the show chose him to host the show to reflect the majority who are just like him, not so articulate of the luxury world. That makes him more relatable in that sense.
Joven Ayento I think so too! He has great taste, but isn’t pretentious and has a dry, quirky sense of humor. I like this series
I laughed out loud! This is a cool series... it’s unfortunate that people aren’t getting it. There was a lot of potential here
I would love to host a series like this one day.
This guy is perfectly fine for this series. He brings a much needed levity for stuff that is just beyond superficial and takes itself waaaaay too seriously
Honestly, he host makes it more relatable and asks questions that ordinary people would to. That serves the purpose of helping the rest of the world to see and understand that what’s ‘invitation only’.
I love it there was once a fondue place at that spot!!
2:47 Ferragamo is my favorite make of men’s shoes. My pair has served me well for years
AWESOME tour!!
"CHAMPAGNE WISHES AND CAVIER DREAMS"💎 I said "DREAMS"🤗
Another perfect example of the great divide that just continues to grow wider. Personally speaking I find many designer/haute couture products to be little more than garish like those runners/sports shoes & the Chanel bags at 4:56. My nan had a bag like that without the Chanel brand of course but she got it from Coles. 😁
Haha i test drove a tesla there. Super nice spot
I go shopping there a lot since its near my house! Its really cool that you're doing this, but just find the right person for doing so.
Typical long Island snob.
Hirshleifers is my favorite store. I go there all the time. They really keep renovating and changing
The best place to shop at the Americana was Daffy Dans. The place was fun, cheap and had great products. You could put things on layaway as well. Too bad the chain closed.
CLOSET CONSULTATION !! Mind Blown
Surprised by all the negative comments about the host here--I love the contrast between his personality and the focus of the stories!! Makes it more fun and unattainable. He's acting much how I think a lot of us would lol
Why does he keep calling it a mall !?!? The lady already told him it’s a shopping center ! Would it kill him to say otherwise !? It’s kind of getting on my nerves !
Hey a king once strolled around in an invisible suit, and someone called him on it, guess the guy is just calling her on her bs, it's a mall
I went here all the time growing for the Apple store, Urban Outfitters, and Hollister (or maybe Abercrombie). Forge past or everyday, this is so surreal lol.
I live like 10 minutes away from there lol
This series would be even better with BRÜNO as a host
Who?
YESSSSSSSSS
"Shopping center" sooo a mall
no you uncultured swine
Who’s castle was that at the beginning with the huge drive way
Grim Oheka Castle - not in Manhasset, though
wow thanks
The Vanderbilts
Well it’s really a hotel
Grim mines. your welcome to come visit😂😂😂😂😂
live about 10 minutes away and this is an amazing shopping center!
That was Oheka Castle!!! I’ve been there before
As a Long Islander i’ve been living here my entire life probably because I live on the South Shore .
In the UK a shopping centre is a mall. In any language we all know what it is
The amount of bentleys i see in the parking lot here is insane. I feel poor in a bmw/merc lol...
Honestly I'll be happy wearing clothes from Walmart.... as long as I get my Ferrari 488
Worth Avenue on Palm Beach island, Fl...now that place, believe me when I tell you normal people are never seen walking the streets to shop at the high end retailes there. Never. Different level.
Bashing the host is irrelevant. I love watching anything that has to do with luxury as I would like to open my own high end luxury business. Videos like these truly give an inside insight into this coveted life.
Exactly
that's too much, they shouldnt force him. theres nothing wrong with his hair or his look, that was alright. people were just talking about his personality and the types of questions he asked
Shopping center is the same thing as an outlet except outlets sell defects or out of season junk 😉
This must be the heaven the BALOGNI SALESMEN speak of with such passion.
I remember being so utterly bored at this shopping center when I was a kid. I wouldn’t necessarily think of this as exclusive though....
This host is awesome. He’s keeping it real. Mall and shopping centre are the same thing. These people are so pretentious haha.
Well, we never says mall is Australia, we say shopping centre
"So you're not just buying in bulk & still feel like you have nothing to wear.."
That's me at the grocery store! Buying everything in the store & when I get home, I have nothing to eat!
This reminds me of river oaks in Houston
This is my favorite center 💕💕💕
rich people with money problems. i don't see any shop where it says 'Donate for Clean water or donate for refugee' all I see is 'Hey ! i look expensive buy me and people will praise you'
Triggered? Go donate yourself
malls and shopping centers are different?
You did a great job amigo!!! I loved it... a good looking Latino asking question about a mall❤️❤️😂 the island is scary but I love it...”shopping center” 😂💎
Cutepuppylover 555 that’s not a Latino, he’s a Filipino
Sometimes I forget how many wealthy people live in my area and that those people actually shop in the Americana which is right across from the Benihana
Can we also get more audio of what the guest has to say?
worth avenue in palm beach would be a great destination to do a video on
Bill Win yassss a lot better than this one. Add the breakers to the list!
These episodes are so cool
I remember passing this shopping center on the way to field trip. In that moment I realized I was poor
The host is kinda annoying. I need someone with better personality to do these series
khen bernardino yaaaa like a white flamboyant white boy with Gucci flip flaps and a Chanel blazer!!! Quit being negative people ugggggg
Cutepuppylover 555 you are so negative
@@cutepuppylover5554 let someone just voice their opinion jeez
Sakshi Chavan I did and you let someone comment what ever it’s on their mind...
Sakshi Chavan very contradictorie
i'm out here shopping at smith haven walt whitman and tanger 😭
Before going luxury shopping for fancy clothes, a visit to the dental office would be essential. It's cheaper that a luxury leather jacket or bag.
We all live on the same planet but different worlds...
I hear what that guy is saying about department stores being under trouble but I honestly think department stores aren't going anywhere nothing is as satisfactory for a consumer as physically choosing your product and walking out the store with the department stores shopping bag.
It's mostly the middle classed stores getting into trouble
I agree
Luxury store will always need physical store and attendants. Customer service is their focus.
What about the Hamptons?
this guy does not seem as if he exactly fits the build and personality of someone that would feel comfortable to review these items
THANK YOU, he lacks tact and class. She literally told you its a shopping center and he, like the little Disney editor he is, basically put a pre-recorded laugh track. You have defiled Manhasset's sanctity I hope you never return. I cannot believe my prom dresses caught eyes with you.
Well that's a snobby elitist thing to say
it was supposed to be like a The Daily Show type interview, where the host is annoying and openly disrespectful to the guests. It requires better comic timing, but he tried. He will get the hang of it with time.
The Unknown , 😂🤣💀
Thats the whole point, he is the broke non drug dealing non trust fund millennial perspective. So he just rocks the yacht loafers, and the bun. But there is no yacht.
hey this island!
Might be a new York thing, but where I'm from there is a distinct difference between a mall and shopping center. Malls are indoors
"SHOPPING CENTERRRR"
got it;)
that super rare patek philippe though
I would love to host shows like this
Shopping centre is just what europe call shopping malls
Only time I go to this “shopping center” is when I needa go to the dentist
3:46 the high end department store's glass door needs some oiling
I go there all the time it’s great place
Here in Paris, France we do not have any 'malls', there is nothing but shopping centres.... so there is
nothing 'exclusive' about them, they are common... Same as England... this is just wordplay...
Well to be honest, it is actually a mall for the super-rich!
I go to this place all the time, sure there are a lot of expensive and high end stores but it isn't as exclusive and "swanky" ask they make it look like.
He's driving this lady crazier and crazier everytime he says MALL
I go there all the time
YALL NOTICE SHE SAID HIGH CLASS BRANDS NORTH SIDE AND "CONTEMPORARY" BRANDS ON THE *southside*
The Wilshire Blvd of long island!
I wonder if they have a food court
“On the south side, the contemporary brands”
* Shows Tesla dealership *
Nice nice and nice!!!!! Whow!!
BRUH I LIVE IN QUEENS NEW YORK AND I DRIVE THERE IN 30 MINUTES AND I GO THERE WITHOUT INVITATION
buddy went to two stores... TWO
I used to work at Cipollini Pronto
