    Your cousin Elon Besos Delgado, LMAO!!! Tom, the main difference between your channel and other “tour guide” channels, (besides your wealth of knowledge of NYC history), is your hilarious sense of humor. Every time I think I need to stop watching for a few minutes and get something done, you say something else that has me laughing out loud and I can’t click away!! 😂❤
