Hello Upper West Sider here, thank you for mentioning my neighborhood. I always say it is a hidden gem with all the brownstones, tree lined streets, local cafes and yes Riverside park which is where I go to bike, picnic, or just lay on the grass it is in my opinion enchanting there sitting on the rocks along the water looking up towards the GW Bridge, and the start of the Hudson Valley.
Videos like this are why your channel is an indispensable source of information. Cuts out the fat and just loads up with details in concise fashion. Excellent as always!
It’s videos like this that I always try to show my friends because so many of them have such a negative view on NY. Yes NY has its issues that desperately need to be fixed, however…..there are still so many amazing parts of the state just in general that deserved to be seen by locals and tourists. Whether it’s really affordable and good food, hidden tourist attractions, or scenic viewpoints…..there are actually a lot of good parts about NY that I think a lot of us locals tend to take for granted.
When we visited by NYC we stayed up on 94th upper West side on Broadway and it was the best decision we made,far enough away from midtown but great for food and going for a walk in the evening to wind down,friendly people great eating places highly recommend the upper West side
Honorable mentions go to: Astoria, Queens (One of the biggest Greek and Egyptian communities in America) Belmont, The Bronx (Go to Arthur Ave for superb Italian food and the Bronx Zoo is nearby) Washington Heights, Manhattan (Dominicans, great parks, and the GWB) Sunset Park, Brooklyn (A huge Chinatown, Little Mexico and Arab-American community) Elmhurst, Queens (just as diverse as Jackson Heights, with many cheap options for food)
After watching your channel for some time, i get the sense that it's a little like this Manhattan: hub of it all Brooklyn: arts and culture Queens: best international food Bronx: under-the-radar spots Staten island: relaxed pace Jersey: unofficial borough #6
I’m lifelong a native New Yorker and I love how well you represent and advertise our City- I absolutely agree with your choices- especially the Upper West Side , where I lived for several years. Please keep up your great work!!
Absolutely agree, as somebody who's lived in NYC for 15 years, these are all legit recommendations. 🙏 Thank you for sharing the real NYC and not fake Instagram places.
I am loving your videos! I am from Australia and we are planning a visit in 2025, I am taking many notes of different places to go and eat! If we see you around, we might just buy you a drink!
Hi Jon Cool video. I use to go to Brighton Beach when I was young. Go on the beach and have a good time. DUMBO I like alot . Brooklyn Bridge Park is just plain beautiful. Williamsburg is OK I've gone up there so many times. Unfortunately I got bored out of it and sadly I lost 2 great friends that played kickball at McCarren Park. I live in Sheepshead Bay the neighborhood is residential but is famous for the fishing boats and great restaurants.
Great choices! I would also check out Fort Greene and Prospect Heights in Brooklyn and Ridgewood in Queens. Also Morningside Heights in Manhattan around Columbia.
Heading to NYC later this month. Hoboken and LIC was already on my list. Brooklyn Heights and the Promenade are truly my Happy Places. Such a beautiful area.
Man, Jon... I've been watching since i think 2017 and i am still shocked and super pleasantly surprised that you still can come up with these amazing tourist guides and find hidden, not talked about food spots and attractions no one knows about. You are by far still, after all these years, one of my top favorite TH-camrs. Thank you for your dedication and hard work!!🙏😌
I just discovered your channel and have been binging your vids for the last couple of days! Thanks for all the great information. Taking notes for my next trip to NYC in a couple of weeks.
Went to nursing school in Hell's kitchen and ate some of the best food there. Worked in Flushing for most of my career and live a stone's throw away. Still go back to my favorite Chinese bakery. I've visited many of the areas you mention and this diversity is why New York is great.
Used to live in Jackson Heights. The food choices are so vast it is hard to choose! And yes, Flushing is the best for Asian cuisine. In Harlem, 116th Street between Lexington and 3rd Ave., Cuchifritos has authentic Puerto Rican food.
I always stay in or near Times Square every time (only stay, don't sight see) I visit due to the convenience to the subway, but I never check out Hell's Kitchen. Thanks!!
Your travel guide video always feels like a friendly chat with a fellow traveler. Your personal touch sets it apart. Speaking of travel essentials, have you seen the new v4 Bento Bag from NomadLane? It looks like a practical solution for wanderers like you.
I visited Chicago in the winter a few years ago. A lot of the nice neighborhoods were almost empty and sparse. It felt so authentic and local. I was probably the only tourist. Really liked it.
I have a particular fondness for Long Island City and Astoria. Both my parents were born and raised in Astoria and met at Long Island City High School in the 1940s. As a child growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, LIC and Astoria were a bit grimy with a bit of an edge but it was also a great neighborhood I felt safe in as a child. Of course today it is a bit too “upscale” and many of the neighborhoods from childhood are gone but it is still nice. Astoria Park is still as terrific today as it was when my parents were growing up in the 1930s and 1940s….thank you Robert Moses (even if he was a bit of a jerk) 😊
@@alexiaromero5233 Because it is huge green space in a very densely populated area with a giant swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, etc. I believe they may have also carved out space for a small dog park. Views are great right by the East River
Who did almost all Manhattan by walk? It's huge!!! Brooklyn Brige one love. Dumbo was so surprise at 7 in the morning before I even know it has so funny name. Only one tip, don't use maps with routs and you will see real city
This is a great list. I went to college near the promenade and it’s still one of my fav spots, also Red hook has amazing views and they think they have a new park, too.
I agree with your selections, I’ve visited all of these neighborhoods. A couple of more: Park Slope in Brooklyn for its beautiful brownstones, and Soho for the beautiful cast iron architecture.
@@jz4461 OK, true. A more under the radar area I found worthwhile is Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill/ Carroll Gardens close to downtown Brooklyn.Interesting walking streets.
For sure stay far away from Times Square - it's just a place where hustlers and grifters try to shake down the tourists . For me go downtown or uptown for a different vibe ! Simply put don't try to do the typical tourist activities. On example is the Circle Line Boat tours to cost around $50.00. Ride the NYC Ferry boats for $4.00 that have routes as far away as the Throgsneck Bridge and Rockaway. They also go from midtown on the Hudson to Staten Island and up and down the East River.
Times Square also functions as a mall for locals though. There’s an Old Navy and Gap store. If you need to buy clothes for the kids and family, it’s a good spot for shoppers who are not tourists
Jon, last week I watched On The Waterfront with Marlon Brando. All filmed in Hoboken NJ. The waterfront scenes have the ESB in the background. Quite interesting.
I live in the upper west side and right now there are so many tourists. I mean there won’t be as many tourists as time square or 5th avenue, but the magnitude of more people here right now is crazy. For example, the natural history museum which is a very nice, modern busy museum had a line around the entire block! Like probably 500 people waiting. It was crazy.
Can't find the Staten Island video, but anyhow. We took the ferry over yesterday and spent some hours there. Exellent way to see the statue of liberty so close and even for free. We had lunch at SI fish & more, and you should try that. Well tasting food and nice atmosphere. Also a nice vintage store a bit higher in Victory blvd
Lower East Side used to be my fav nieb when I lived in nyc in early 2000s. I visited in 2012 and was shocked to see families had moved into that area. Then I visited in 2018 and was shocked that there were tourists and hotels in the LES! If you dont like your neighborhood in nyc, just wait 10 minutes.
Jackson Heights is goated 🐐 Queens is just a beautiful place Upper West Side always has a special place in my heart too. I love Williamsburg though, Jon 🥲 haha, but you’re right
Williamsburg is great, but well known internationally. You could say this neighborhood is like the "Williamsburg" of Stockholm and people would get an image of it.
We are a couple who wants to visit NYC in the future. Where can we find safe accommodation outside the central area? What areas do you recommend? Very nice vlogs, thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
How safe is it to walk by yourself around DUMBO? For example, from DUMBO to Borough Hall to the Transit Museum. Traveling soon, so would appreciate having that info. Thanks.
How about showing fort Greene some love don’t get me wrong I definitely recommend checking out these neighborhoods but fort Greene has some pretty cool spots too 1.BAM (Brooklyn Academy of music) has great performances and a movies theatre 2. Fort Greene park while not as big or as a interesting as Central Park or even prospect park it still interesting to check out it was also designed by the two people who designed central and prospect park it also has the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument 3. It has UrbanGlass s glass shop in Brooklyn which will have showings and sometimes have workshops 4. It has some interesting places to get food (I recommend deklab food hall which has some great food vendors just. Had an amazing Empana So if you are planning a trip to NYC soon and if you have time I highly recommend you check out Fortgreene it may not as big or as flashy as Manhattan but it’s got heart and soul
Hey Jon just wondering if Coney Island is worth visiting in the winter? My partner and I are coming to NYC for the holidays and wondering if Coney Island is closed over winter? Same query with the Hamptons Long Island over winter. Worth visiting?
I would like to say that, even though times square is very very touristy. It is still worth a visit simply because there is no other place like it. That doesn’t mean you have to eat there, that doesn’t mean you have to buy stuff there, maybe you take a picture with a Disney character or two because you know when, and realm, maybe go see the naked cowboy. I think people are too polarized on Times Square. This probably is a controversial and maybe even even an unpopular opinion but I actually think times Square is more worth a visit than fifth Avenue. Come on, are you really gonna buy anything on fifth Avenue? I don’t even think there are any food trucks on fifth Avenue. of course I would still visit fifth Avenue, but if I had to choose one of the other, I’d probably go for Times Square.
Greenpoint is basically the Seattle of NYC... And many don't realize how big of a city the city is... I wouldn't dare live there now that's insane. But it's the bees for an experience. I understand why people like you love these hives nests of humans. But I gotta have space these days 😅
I lived on 49th and 9th in Hells Kitchen. Tourists go to 8th Ave and get scared off by all the strip clubs and turn back. But 9th Ave has the longest string of ethnic restaurants anywhere.
When was that? I go there regularly right now and I’ve never felt that. It’s a great vibe, great food, great bars and a bohemian feel with alot of gay/trans people (and straight people too). Smells like good weed everywhere lol. Love it
I would have personally had Sheepshead Bay over Brighton beach & somewhere in the list Washington Heights. Sheepshead for the also Ukrainian culture and food strip along emmons Ave with a beautiful view of the boats along the bay. WH for the highest vantage point in the city, parks like Fort Tyron park, the Sylvian Terrace and the little red lighthouse under the GWB. Good content as always though!
Tashkent in Brighten Beach Uzbekistan food. Nabbano 73street and Roosevelt in Jackson Heights for Bengali. African. Fulton and Franklin Ave Brooklyn. (Just walk east) It doesn’t even have a name just look where all the African men in robes are eating-it’s by far the best restaurant in all of NYC! They do get shut down at times. Corner 28, Roast duck, pork take out. (Eat in the park next to it) 40 road Flushing queens. THERE THE BEST PLACES IN NYC, because I’m a nice guy. All very cheap as well.

Hello Upper West Sider here, thank you for mentioning my neighborhood. I always say it is a hidden gem with all the brownstones, tree lined streets, local cafes and yes Riverside park which is where I go to bike, picnic, or just lay on the grass it is in my opinion enchanting there sitting on the rocks along the water looking up towards the GW Bridge, and the start of the Hudson Valley.
Videos like this are why your channel is an indispensable source of information. Cuts out the fat and just loads up with details in concise fashion. Excellent as always!

Jon I love this TH-cam channel! I can't wait for my next visit to NYC in 2024.
One of the best things about New York, every visit can always be a new experience…enjoyed this one 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Absolutely agree with Hell's Kitchen, Flushing, Harlem, and Long Island City!!! Some of my personal favorite places in the city ... Love this video!
I feel that Hells Kitchen is a hybrid mix of very touristy tourists and also locals and transplants. Kind of like a salad.
@@ramencurry6672 it is, cuz you got hotels there that are a little cheaper than in the heart of midtown
Harlem used to be good but the food got so expensive.
@@christophercox936 yeah that’s what happens when stuff starts getting gentrified
Honorable mentions go to:
Astoria, Queens (One of the biggest Greek and Egyptian communities in America)
Belmont, The Bronx (Go to Arthur Ave for superb Italian food and the Bronx Zoo is nearby)
Washington Heights, Manhattan (Dominicans, great parks, and the GWB)
Sunset Park, Brooklyn (A huge Chinatown, Little Mexico and Arab-American community)
Elmhurst, Queens (just as diverse as Jackson Heights, with many cheap options for food)
These were all finalists actually! Astoria almost made it.
@@HereBeBarr❤
nah stay out of belmont yu could get 💥 out there 7⃣
Astoria is pretty good as well.
After watching your channel for some time, i get the sense that it's a little like this
Manhattan: hub of it all
Brooklyn: arts and culture
Queens: best international food
Bronx: under-the-radar spots
Staten island: relaxed pace
Jersey: unofficial borough #6
The Jersey part many wouldn’t agree 🤣🤣
Westchester County in my opinion is the “secret” wild card.
I’m lifelong a native New Yorker and I love how well you represent and advertise our City- I absolutely agree with your choices- especially the Upper West Side , where I lived for several years.
Please keep up your great work!!
Upper West Side is where I would live if I could!
The final scene of the Woody Allen 1977 movie Annie Hall was on the Upper West Side on 63rd Street.
Thank you for actually showing hidden gems, unlike other "cool nyc influencers"
Those “cool nyc influencers” are mid 20 year old transplants who moved here 2 years ago and only care about how the food looks via photo
Absolutely agree, as somebody who's lived in NYC for 15 years, these are all legit recommendations. 🙏 Thank you for sharing the real NYC and not fake Instagram places.

This was an excellent video for planning ideas. Thank you

Nicely done ✔️

In winter I’ll be in New York for 2 years and I hope it be a great and a peaceful experience
I love the graffiti murals in bushwick..such amazing art there!
I visited Chicago in the winter a few years ago. A lot of the nice neighborhoods were almost empty and sparse. It felt so authentic and local. I was probably the only tourist. Really liked it.
Sheepshead bay has lots of seafood and you can go on fishing boats that you need to reserve.
Great area!
Brooklyn Promenade is one of, if not my favorite place in NYC (maybe Bryant Park)
As a Jersey native thank you for including us 😂

The Jackson Hole Diner in Jackson Heights is one of my personal favorites!
This is actually the best video of NYC surrounding areas that I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen plenty. Thank You
I thought he was going to come out with a video on the flooding Park Slope received a few weeks ago.
This is a great list. I went to college near the promenade and it’s still one of my fav spots, also Red hook has amazing views and they think they have a new park, too.
Went to hs there...
Thank you. This vid is helpful. Looking forward to visiting in December!
wow he is the best for NY travel guide
@tju2009Yes, he is the best 😅😊😂
Westchester County especially in the winter feels very local. I felt like the only tourist. It was fun
Nice video. Great info. Thanks and take care.
LIKE! This Long Island city park has a ferry station that takes you to Pier 11 (near Wall St) for $4
I agree with your selections, I’ve visited all of these neighborhoods. A couple of more: Park Slope in Brooklyn for its beautiful brownstones, and Soho for the beautiful cast iron architecture.
I wouldn't call SoHo under the radar, even for a first-timer
@@jz4461 OK, true. A more under the radar area I found worthwhile is Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill/ Carroll Gardens close to downtown Brooklyn.Interesting walking streets.

well what's the name
Hell's kitchen 🎉 I like this area and so happy to be there once again in a few months
Gramercy park is nice to see. The Mayor's mansion is there.
Def a good one
Gracie Mansion? That's in Carl Schurz Park in Yorkville (Upper East Side).
Sorry. I was thinking of something rlse when I wrote this.
The mayor's mansion is near my sisters apartment, when she lived in nyc.

I'm in Hoboken now debating on driving my GMC 3500HD to Manhattan I'm only concerned about parking
I would like to say that, even though times square is very very touristy. It is still worth a visit simply because there is no other place like it.

i'm imagining Gen Z going to Williamsburg to play Sonic 1 on a arcade machine when it has 9189311 ports.
Another comercial video where you can eat , too. Tnx for notihng
Any Halloween content coming regarding events, best scary haunted places to go??
I don't have any planned but see Blood Manor video from ActionKid or Village Halloween Parade details.
Greenpoint is basically the Seattle of NYC... And many don't realize how big of a city the city is... I wouldn't dare live there now that's insane. But it's the bees for an experience.
I understand why people like you love these hives nests of humans. But I gotta have space these days 😅
I lived on 49th and 9th in Hells Kitchen. Tourists go to 8th Ave and get scared off by all the strip clubs and turn back. But 9th Ave has the longest string of ethnic restaurants anywhere.
Last time i walked around hells kitchen it was sketchy af homeless everywhere I thought I was gonna get robbed
When was that? I go there regularly right now and I’ve never felt that. It’s a great vibe, great food, great bars and a bohemian feel with alot of gay/trans people (and straight people too). Smells like good weed everywhere lol. Love it
Years ago Hell’s Kitchen wasn’t safe. Now it is. Especially 9th Ave.
I would have personally had Sheepshead Bay over Brighton beach & somewhere in the list Washington Heights.
Sheepshead for the also Ukrainian culture and food strip along emmons Ave with a beautiful view of the boats along the bay.
WH for the highest vantage point in the city, parks like Fort Tyron park, the Sylvian Terrace and the little red lighthouse under the GWB.
Good content as always though!
Sinatra was from Hoboken.
Yeah try to hit REAL Unique food places Not the franchises that we ALL ready know @Here Be Barr 😂❤
You may want to walk around Tribeca and see where JFK Jr had lived, other stars live. There's a mix of food prices around that area.
😊😊😊
Hi
Love Hell’s Kitchen
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade is definitely not a secret....
Hello
You forget about the Bronx and Staten Island.
Tashkent in Brighten Beach Uzbekistan food.
Nabbano 73street and Roosevelt in Jackson Heights for Bengali.
African. Fulton and Franklin Ave Brooklyn. (Just walk east) It doesn’t even have a name just look where all the African men in robes are eating-it’s by far the best restaurant in all of NYC! They do get shut down at times.
Corner 28, Roast duck, pork take out. (Eat in the park next to it) 40 road Flushing queens.
THERE THE BEST PLACES IN NYC, because I’m a nice guy. All very cheap as well.
I remember just 15 years ago when Williamsburg was unsafe, now it is the trendy place?!?! Things change
Ben 🥹
❤🇺🇸😇🌏🙌
There's atleast two factors for them being the best neighborhoods.
Bushwick is a place to visit now?!?! That place was a total ghetto not long ago!
