    Ok first of all, it's great to see the channel continue to grow, so well deserved. Second of all, who the hell hit the thumbs down button? There's just no pleasing some people! And third of all, I totally agree with you about the Jane Jacobs movie, this should definitely be made. Such an important woman, not just for NYC but for many American cities. Great work again Tom!

    Lot of memories of the Bank St area in the 1960's and 70's. HB Studio, the White Horse, the Cookie Bar, Bill Hickey, Uta Hagen, etc. and etc. BTW, John and Yoko owned a number of buildings on and near Bank St.

    Wow! YOU are walking by Westbeth Housing. I used to live there with the composer David Del Tredici who still lives there. Lots of artist live in that building. Now they have a parking spot for bicycles? I used to park my car and motorcycle there. I did NOT know by the way that John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived there! Its NYC! Furthermore, one block north of the Bell Building was the home of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Down the street was the ATM that he used to get the money from the supermarket to feed his drug binge. Very interesting!

    Hey, I'm from Leeds in the North of England. Just an observation from this and another video, when you reference GMT you're saying it abbreviates as Greenwich Medium Time, the actual meaning is Greenwich Mean Time.
    Anyway, really enjoy your vids, I visit once a year and I'm back in 7 weeks (Paddy's day), so I've been checking out when I'm over. So big thumbs up mate. Keep up the good work and you never know I might see you making a video when I'm over. I'll shout you and Phil/Stewie a beer if I do. All the best.
