Walking NYC : Bensonhurst, Brooklyn via 86th Street (April 14, 2021)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2021
- I walk through the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bensonhurst via 86th Street from 18th Avenue to Bay Parkway. This area is full of Chinese businesses and restaurants with roots from the Guangdong and Hong Kong area. It was featured previously as the setting of the popular Saturday Night Fever movie. Many places popped up since I last visited, and it's astonishing to see this area growing so quickly.

I live in this neighborhood since the early 90s. It has changed so much, it used to be all Italian restaurants and bakeries on 86th street.
I think many Italians moved out to the suburbs. Even moving to Pennsylvania locations about 2 hours away.
Now it’s mostly Asians and some Muslims wich is okay they make no problems it’s a great area and still safe.
I don't mind the diversity. But it is now so filthy and smelly with all these Chinese markets restaurants. I still live here. Relatively safe.
As one who was born and raised in Bensonhurst (lived on Bay 29th) I greatly appreciate this video. (actually, I appreciate all of your videos). I remember when they filmed Saturday Night Fever... all the girls in Jr. High cut classes the days they were filming on 86th street. LOL
Right past the Mong Kok Market across the street from Marshalls (and Miraglia) is where the chase scene from "The French Connection" was filmed.
The Steven Segal movie, "Out for Justice" was also filmed at the same intersection.
That "Hot Bagel" place toward the end of your video has been there for over 50 years.
wow bay 29 is close to me
Um, but it looks HORRIBLE now. I was there in the 1970s.
I wish you would of went down 1 more block...This was my Neighborhood from 1980 to 2003. I remember every store that used to be there.
In 1985 I attended Lafayette HS on Benson & Bay 43rd! Coming from FloriDUH, I loved that we could leave school property for lunch! John’s Deli, Spumoni Gardens!
This video was so sad to see. This was my neighborhood from 1967 to 1998.
There were a few stores that are still there since that time. I hope Lenny's Pizza never leaves. Great freaking pizza.
Rainbows, Effies are still there from back in the day. I took that train hundreds of times. Hearing the train, going over tracks brings back lots of memories.
That neighborhood was so much fun. Cars driving up and down, full of hot, fun guys and chicks with the radio blaring freestyle dance or house music.
To see it now, it is sad. So many great times and great people, that Italian neighborhood.
Thats just what neighborhoods do. For example, it wasn't always an Italian neighborhood so it changed big time when Italians took it over. And I assure you the people that lived there prior weren't happy about the change.
It’s still good but the area looks generic with Starbucks, Duncan Donuts and other chain stores. It has lost some of its unique qualities but I still like it anyway. There is an Eastern European bakery there if I remember correctly and other good spots.
Hi, from 1 year In the future, I have some bad news for you Lenny’s just left about two weeks ago.😢
@@Allenryan819 Yes, too bad. I moved into the area from Mill Basin in July '21. Glad I got to eat at Lenny's once.
It looks like a nightmare now. 1) with the Wuhan Lab Masks. Why are they wearing them OUTSIDE ?
Saturday night fever....opening shot....awesome!! 💜💚💛
That use to be my Train decades ago, I sure missed all the freedom we had when living in Brooklyn and traveling to NYC all the time back in the old days late 70s - 82
Remember "Summer of Grease- 1978" ???????
@@LannieLord Why yes!
I lived and worked in Brooklyn Heights for many years so I enjoy all the Brooklyn tours.
Thank you, Action Kid. I worked part-time in Bensonhurst some years ago. Nice to see it again.
Your Brooklyn walks are my favorite.
Awesome!
I used to live in Bensonhurst. Amazing changes!
NOT in a GOOD way.
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams,like you!!!!
So keep going your trips as much as you can....
Thanks, I agree with you!
The Action kid on a 🚶 through a very diverse neighborhood where things seem to be operating at near normal levels. Nice .
Yes, outside of Manhattan there is plenty of life and near normalcy.
Great to see all people getting along, what a wonderful world this will be.
Nice 4K footage! My friend lives in Bensonhurst but I honestly haven't been there. I'm a Queens gal. Anyways, I love how you captured the parts where they filmed "Saturday Night Fever." I love that film! Things always change in NYC so I'm not surprised if most of the Italian populous moved out.
Always Home to Me!!
💓 Bensonhurst!!! Growing up it was a very Italian neighborhood. Things change but the memories can not be tinted. It is still a great neighborhood!! I am there every chance I get to shop and visit family🐘😀💓🍔
I agree. It’s still a good neighborhood. Not many Italian stores but still other interesting spots. If I remember correctly there is an Eastern European bakery there that looked unique.
Wow. I haven't seen 86th Street since the late 80's. It is so different looking. Used to have fruit and vegetable stands, Italian bakeries, and two pizza places on the same block. Thank you so much. Wish I was there for all that delicious Asian food now. Have a nice day.
I enjoyed it
Thank you so much My Buddy 💛
Happy you enjoyed it!
Great walk, thank you AK. I grew up here, 20th Ave was my stop.
I've lived in this neighborhood since 1968. Seen an enormous amount of changes over the years. Began as a nearly all Italian neighborhood which later turned into a mix of Eastern European/Middle Eastern neighborhood and now nearly all Asian. I'm one of the few Italians left in the area.
I lived in bensonhurst in the 90s, bay 32nd st. I remember, while everyone was getting a pizza at Lennys i was going to this small pizzeria called Tony's. Tony was always there serving his pizzas❤
Santander bank has been there quite a while, since 1979. It started out as an Independence Savings Bank which later became Sovereign Bank and then Santander.
Used to live in this neighborhood, (18th and 86th /benson ave ) met cool people and friends.. good times.
Love the video. Brings back memories. We lived in Bensonhurst from 1991-1996. The neighborhood was starting to change when we moved to Florida. When we moved to Florida I was surprised everyone was from New York. I even met a few people from Bensonhurst. Definitely helped with the adjustment.
Double Parking is a NYC specialty!
Bensonhurst gang wya🤟🏽
Great video! I lived in that neighborhood for a few years and still go back often. Thanks for the walk.
I grew up not far from there in Marine park . I also lived in sheapshead bay. But I remember bensonhurst . My sister lived in Bayridge for a time back in the 1990s, and she told me that bensonhurst was rapidly changing from Italian to Chinese . It was always a nice neighborhood , Bensonhurst was , and it looks nice in your video . When you passed by that Pizza-restaurant place , that I believe you thought was new , I wanted to drop in and get a meatball sub. I miss those , as I live in Texas now. But there are no shortage of Chipotles restaurants here in Texas . The thing I miss most maybe from New York is the food. I miss my Italian bread. The only thing that comes close to Italian bread where I live now is baggets , which only the Vietnamese shops have . Thanks for the tour. I enjoyed it !
I'm a big fan of the $1.00 fruits and vegetables, lol.
They're a great deal!
That Marshall's was the Loews Oriental movie palace back in the day. Back in the 90s, Bobby's Bagels was at 20th Ave (next door to the McDonald's?) and they sold fantastic fat bagels. My wife and I would walk down there from our house on 3rd Ave & 80th St to buy them.
Wow! Thanks for sharing it. I would love to go back in time to try Bobby's Bagels.
Great video really need to see the old neighborhood
Love 86 st. I miss Bensonhurst . The food , culture, diversity.
So nice to see you in my neighborhood. I have seen so many videos by you and Jon Barr.
The Star Market is new, but the Santander bank is not new. Also Fong and Zhou market is moving next to Mong Kok Market.
10 Seconds Yunnan Noodle, Mr. Bun, Chipotle all new. But I feel like 86 Street restaurants close and new ones open every few months.
It would be hilarious if you redid the Saturday Night fever intro. Instead of ordering 2 slices, maybe order a boba tea
Haha, I did do a recreation of it a few years ago!
When crossing the street underneath the El track, you should be more cautious of falling debris and parts of the railing tracks than bird droppings. People and cars have been hit by debris in the past, to such an extent that much of the track has netting suspended beneath it to catch whatever might fall to the ground.
I still live here. Boy how it changed even after this video was shot.
Now I want to watch Saturday Night Fever🕺💃
Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, was where most of the exterior scenes were shot, except for the famous "walk"
I lived in the area from 1965 to 2010 there have been many changes to the area you would not believe an area that was mostly Italian is very much gone the only things that were left were the banks.
Just curious if you have a favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn. If so which one and why? Great video btw 👍🏾
I grew up there, stillwell and bay 43 st I've been gone now for 25 years and I'm wondering when the B train became the D line. I remember the D train running along mcdonald ave
The horse riding scene from John Wick 2 was filmed on this street.
Bravo AK🙌🏻
Confusious said, one man's trash is another man's treasure
21:08 I'm from Istanbul and I hope they make some nice Turkish food at thаt restaurant 💫
I hope so too!
🇦🇲💪🏽
@@njfinest3558 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷✊
It’s really good I recommend it. @AlGR
I thought you moved to Boston from the previous videos you posted, but yet you are still spending a lot of time recording in NYC like normal. Dyker Heights/Bay Ridge is certainly the very last large enclave of Italian Americans, however Avenue U in Gravesend also has decent concentration of Italian Americans and stores like Dyker Height's 13th Avenue. Of all the Little Chinatowns within Bensonhurst, 86th Street has the most amount of variety of businesses and more prosperous and though a mini Chinatown, it is also very culturally mixed in terms of population and businesses. Bath Avenue now has a growing Muslim population and businesses.
Bay Ridge is more Greek and Lebanese than Italian in my opinion
@@BeeBee-pl9ly I meant the section between Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights is still very Italian, but moving deeper into Bay Ridge is very Greek and Arab populated though with still scattered numbers of Italians.
Great job action kid
Legend has it that Peter Steele took that D Train to Brighton Beach.
Bonjour, i am french . I like very Much your vids. Congratulations.
Another great video
Nice AK👍
Action Kid knows his fruits and vegetables.
I lived there by New Utrecht HS from 71 until 77...I couldn't afford to live there now. I'm an expat living in the Andes of South America...not bad at all though.
1971 -1977 it was beautiful here , well, "Urban Beautiful". Remember when McDonalds came to 86th street in 1973 ?
Cool video ActionKid.
I lived on 18ave and 65st I knew everybody on every corner best years ever
The elevated nyc subway tracks are an eyesore. The streets would've be alot quieter, brighter, and cleaner if they were underground.
I expected nothing less from you Skyfox. Although I think the worms from Tremors would disagree.
To each their own lol. I agree on the noise, but it can look quite nice at certain parts
not the case in manhattan
It's like watching a Woody Allen film.
Are used to live on Cropsey Avenue between Bay 16th and Bay 17 and walked up and down 86 Street thousands of times it was also where the French connection car Chase was filmed
Rodney Dangerfield's old neighborhood.
thank man
GOOD VIDEO ✅👍👍👍👍👍👏🤝🙏🙏🙏
awesome thank you and God Bless
The movie “Angie” was also shot there at diner across the street.
"Angie" was a TV show from the 1970s /
Please do Gravesend/Bensonhurst.
Walk Kingshwy from west 9th to McDonald ave.
I grew up there.
Are things getting back to normal out there?
Action kid can u walk sunset park 8 av
I think that Star Market used to be a Chinese Food Buffet
I walk up and down this Block all the time cuz I got school 😭 next to there
You missed a lot of things. Like the lowes theater
the 1970s it was the B train
Hi Action Kid, are you on social media? I have a question about one of your videos. Thanks. - David
Man.. crazy to think it was all Italian in the 80s-90s..
Nice
It's Banco Santander (pronounced Banco Sant-an-dare), 4th largest European Bank. The bank, along with other huge European banks in Paris and Switzerland lost a lot of money in the Madoff Ponzi scheme, since a lot of them had invested in Bernie.
Ciao thank for passeggiata! Puoi dirmi quante persone vivono li? Grazie mille
saturday nite bever

Spiderman FFH location?
Its not really a subway if its aboveground lol
It becomes the El or Elevated!
Walk 18th Avenue!
Saturday night fever
I'm just curious.When the Chinese become the predominant population in a historically Italian neighborhood,is it still called,gentrification? Just asking-
I have no idea how this happens BUT you can bet it's Chinese in China BUYING real estate Here . Bensonhurst is / was not the most expensive area because it's a HOUR away from NYC. Pain in the ass ride. Had Bensonhurst been 20 minutes from NYC- it would be all Hipsters and young 20's living there.
Not really. Gentrification is when wealthy people start buying up a poor or working class neighborhood. This has happened in Italian neighborhoods like Carroll Gardens, where the Italians have been displaced by rich non-ethnic people. Here in Bensonhurst, where I have lived for many decades, it's been the normal neighborhood succession of one immigrant group in decline (Italian) and another one in assent (the Chinese). There is an ecumenic dimension to it, since demand has driven up the prices of homes. But overall, it's the same trend in every outer borough neighborhood. And Bensonhurst was "historically" quite mixed. The Italian immigration of the 1960s/70s/80s boosted its Italian-ness, but earlier in the century it was a mixed immigrant population leaving the Lower East Side.
YOU think the neighbor's changed?? You have no idea.
I gagged when he said that!! I was there in 1969 thru 1979 !!!!!
Bensonhurst where the gunz burst lol
The 19th hole crew was in 86th street
Christy Tick
Vic and Gas
And that was a hundred years ago now
@@joedimaggio3687 not exactly 100 hundred years ago. It was during the 70s 80s
@@fieldrnen757 the 1970's and 1980's might as well be 100 years ago
Do you mean that BAR the 19th Hole ????? Can you tell me the address ? As a kid we would drive by it all the time and I always loved the NEON sign . Thanks
It's a sad NEW world for us older folks who remember a normal world of Disco and "Grease" , Son of Sam and Rollerrama !!!! @@joedimaggio3687
The subway is an underground train-
Hey Kid! What's up?
Walk ocean parkway
China Town South!
I live near bay parkway and it is not that great anymore, besides people. People are nice but everything else is slightly sad
It does not fell like Old World Brooklyn.
Nearly everyone is wearing a mask to walk around outside. ughhhh...so glad I live in a red state
I just said that , hugs from a former democrat now voting republican for the first time. 🤨
Don't see too many asian dudes with blondes. Good for him
Let’s get back to normal people!
I know. It's INFURIATING .
Sure hope and pray tbey are not selling Dog or Cat meat!
Out For Justice
Boba Tea is gross.
R.i.p to the Italian neighborhoods what a shame and to the Boston north end neighborhood where I'm from what a sad thing I hate change damn Spanish and Chinese everywhere now
I'm sure the Irish and the Anglos said the same thing when the Italians moved in 100 years ago
From my observation, many Italians are not really interested in their own culture and foods. They basically have absorbed into the mainstream suburbs.
@@ft9kop they sure did
@@ramencurry6672 by now they are just Americans walking around with Italian last names.
This is disgusting
No way would I eat those veggies
