For those who have never been to the Bronx, this video doesn't represent the entire area. It focuses on 149th Street and 3rd Avenue, where few individuals seem too comfortable in their situation. While I want to help, I can't. U see the police in the video keeping everyone safe and having him under control. The Bronx is a culturally rich place with a lot of diversity, and if you don't bother people, nobody is going to bother you. As you can see, I'm walking and filming with my phone on a gimbal, and nobody approached me. The Bronx is a land of freedom where you can do whatever you want, a place I truly admire and enjoy. My intention was to add variety and action to the channel, not to offend anyone. I love the Bronx and plan to film more beautiful places. Check out this recent video from one of the richest neighborhoods in the Bronx: th-cam.com/video/1NYFJ6-T4Ik/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gEWKgrjUyUfV1MWl
Lol. Bronx is not dangerous unless you're in a gang. Besides that, its fine. It's usually the crazy people with mental illness that cause the problem. Gangs always cause harm to other gangs or school related
Same impression here, Rome. Not so bad at all. Of course there may be people suffering in some way, but with a sense of great dignity. Overall impression is pleasant.
Most Dangerous what? that's a stretch. Lived in the Bronx most of my life. 95% of the Bronx is a walk in the park, and I mean that. A title change is in order buddy. You ever grew up in the Bronx during the Apex of the Crack era? shhheeeeeeeeetttt!!!
I’m glad you clarified that. However that title is misleading. I hope when you eventually visit the dangerous hood of Brooklyn such as Brownsville, ENY, Canarsie, E Flatbush, Crown Heights. Hope you’ll title it the same. Cause so far you’ve only been to the “nice” areas of Brooklyn. Covered some areas twice even.
I’m from Queens and have lived in NYC most of my life. Currently live in Brooklyn. I’ve seen an armored car get robbed, seen people running down the street covered in blood, seen people dying on the sidewalk, seen footage of a friend being murdered in the street, saw a man get hit by the train, have slept in parks and and befriended homeless people, have had both guns and knives pulled on me, have heard screams echo down the street and have seen muzzle flashes that were far too close for comfort. I’ve seen some crazy shit in my life. There have only been two times where I found myself in a neighborhood at night and was like “mmm… I might die if i don’t get tf outta here right now”. Both were in the Bronx 😂
@@magamaga1827 Yeah, I was a little kid in the early 90s. I bet a bunch of Brooklyn was wild back then. I did hang out in East NY plenty of times in my 20s and never really had any problems, but I knew people there. Same with Brownsville. When you know people it's generally alright. But I'm sure it's not as crazy as it once was. I also lived in Bed Stuy for a few years, right near the slave theater. I was a junkie at that time and definitely got into some sticky situations because of that, but it's becoming gentrified these days. Surprisingly, I've seen some wild stuff in Canarsie, which generally isn't a bad neighborhood. That's where I saw the armored car robbery, which I'm sure there are articles about. Happened right near where I worked. That's also where I saw someone running down the street covered in blood. I was standing outside of my job smoking a cigarette. The person was screaming and chasing after another person, definitely the one who hit them. I'm guessing they hit them in the head with something and all the blood came from their forehead, which tends to bleed a lot. Something similar happened to me when I was a kid. Got bit in the eyebrow by a dog and I bled so much that my whole face was covered in it and it was all over my clothes. Was a gruesome sight but the bite wasn't even that bad. Didn't even require stitches.
@@321thach stop watching internet and see for your own eyes. I don't know but the hoods, but manhattan sure is safe. Police everywhere, even during night. No trash, no ppl harrasing. That's my experience, been there for 2 weeks this year, and I can't say a bad word.
Nice job getting good, smooth, steady footage while walking/riding around and avoiding collisions. Hard to do in a dense area. Footage is very steady, no shaking, and not too fast or slow. You got it down pat well

Im a resident of the Bronx born and raised, i must say i believe the Bronx is cursed, maybe from hundreds of years ago because i wonder how a place could wind up so disgusting, filthy loud with so many horrible issues i think about leaving every day but i don't have the means too right now i hoping and praying i can one day leave and it will be a distant nightmare.
Thank you. My grandparents, parents and myself are from Brooklyn. Though I'm not in the city now, Thank you for the reminder of how magnificent New York is.
As a person born and raised in the Bronx, it's not dangerous, just poor. The Bronx is full of loving, hardworking people. They are true hidden gems in the borough. However, like any neighborhood, there are less desirable parts. You have to be street-smart wherever you go.

I am English and my late wife was Jamaican. We visited New York from the UK only once, over thirty years ago, where we stayed with one of my wife's relatives who lived in the Bronx, a ten minute walk from Burnside Avenue station on Subway line 4. We visited various neighbourhoods including the Fordham shopping area but not The Hub seen in this videos.
Hi from the UK! I remember a friend flew there for business. He rented a car and drove into the Bronx completely by accident. It was 02:00 am and he got completely lost driving round in circles. No sat nav of course. He didn’t feel safe enough to stop and ask for help, found his way out eventually, but admitted he was panicking!
My mom worked on 3 Ave and 149 St Alexander's, where l went after to school to pick up her up. She worked at the counter where you would get a sandwich and milkshake. When she got off work late at night we would sometimes walk home without a care in the world. Sometimes she would forget to lock our doors, but there was nothing to worry about. Yes! in the 50's and 60's it was safe and a clean area. With tears in my eyes, and a broken heart for what has happened. Many important people came from the Bronx- just to name a few, Al Pacino, Ralph Lauren, Lauren Bacall and many, many more. l lived in a beautiful Building with a beautiful lobby and a 24 hour doorman on the Concourse. The Concourse was the Park Avenue of the Bronx. Sunday's my friends and l would go to the Loews Theater on Fordham Rd, and afterwards we went to Jahn's ice cream parlor for the kitchen Sink which was a Banana Split Sundae
ESCAPING ALL THE BAD NEWS! Neat video. Never been to NY but want to go someday. I loved that I got to see Yankees Stadium!

Hey, man! Thanks for your video. You really know how to show around: you slow down your speed, turns the camera to specific points, and you have a steady hold of your bike, not moving in zigzag. I'm really enjoying it! By the way, I'm from Recife, Brazil. See you!

If you want to do this kind of video in another section of NYC, I suggest you do that in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn which is the place I grew up in, it used to be a Mafiosi neighborhood of italians and jews. Now it has become a haven for the east coast chapters of the bloods and crips. You won't find more history anywhere in NYC. The place has a VERY storied past. The movie Goodfellas was about the Canarsie "crew", which to date is recognized as the most violent crew in the history of the Italian mafiia in the U.S. . As kids growing up there, we used to come across dead bodies in Seaview Park. It wasn't anything which shocked us although it should have been. It was a quiet middle class neighborhood on the surface with a severely violent under current.
Bless us and save us!!!!😱 I can't believe I walked through these very streets while growing up in Mott Haven over sixty years ago that the entire districts, especially Fordham Road, turned the Bronx into a smut and filth borough today. How can it be that Fordham was once a popular shopping site where you could spend the weekends with your family visiting stores, eating in small delicatessens, and participating in social street activities all year round? Watching this upload is not only shocking, but it fills my heart with despair to find nothing but disorder and mayhem among the neighborhoods that were pristine at one time, with residents who rigorously precedented in maintaining the quality of life in the Bronx. Judging by the current outlook of the streets and blocks, I wouldn't go near my old neighborhood if you promised me room and board at the Waldorf because it comes as no surprise that an invader would cut my throat to apprehend my $10.00 watch.
You're not alone, it's in every desirable U.S. city now. It's exactly the opposite here and for me and the rest of us so called "Left Overs" in my good 'ol neighborhood. It's gentrified and almost entirely racially exclusive now and attempting to become shi shi west. My landlord (read scumbag) has attempted to unlawfully evict me six times since 2000 because of greed with some racial prejudice mixed in. Low lifes don't necessarily have to look a certain way and be from any particular class.
dirty, yes. disgustingly so. scary/dangerous, not at all, but a little stressful because so many fake people you have to be kinda guarded about who you trust.
Boy! What a ride! I really enjoyed it very much. My opinion of the South Bronx has changed dramatically. It definitely has nothing to envy the other counties and sectors of the city. So much different from the walking tours, where you're at a slow pace throughout the journey, not seeing most of what is on the left nor right. Here, you're at a brisk pace taking in so much. Thanks a million.
I know appearances can be deceiving, but I found your ride along of the Bronx and surrounding areas to be very enjoyable and exciting to view. I am aware that when the sun goes down, things can change in a heart beat. But all in all I really did enjoy your video. Bless you my friend.

The thing that hurts the most is seeing the men lying on the ground and all that rubbish left on the ground, as if time could take care, instead of us humans... 😌🙂
@@travelandeats8518No, unfortunately I haven't been to New York yet... I only saw Miami and Key West in 2000! In Miami there were quite a few, even of Caucasian origin. 😌😏
First time seeing the Bronx apart from the movies I didn’t realise Yankee stadium was that close to the centre of the Bronx It wouldn’t look as bad if the place had a goof clean up do they not employ road sweepers? Anyway fascinating video👍👍
I visit my sister who lives in the Bronx near 171st & Washington Ave. I’ve never felt scared. It indeed looks this way,and most people leave you alone minding their business. However, with that said, it is an urban jungle. Ugly landscape, littered streets. Crackheads prevalent especially early mornings on Tremont Ave. Most crimes happen at night time as with any other city worldwide. Guns are a common problem with young males. There are pockets of old italian neighborhoods scattered throughout the Bronx, but those are slowly dying out because the younger generation of Italians don’t want to run the family businesses. Gentrification is currently happening in 2024, forcing out many Hispanic and native African residents to leave due to skyrocketing rent prices
Quelle idée d’émigrer vers le "pays du diable " quand on porte une burka totale noire ? Faut être fou ou il y a une raison cachée ? Les mystères de l’âme humaine . A part cela , les Démocrates socialistes vont s’emparer définitivement du pouvoir américain avec toute cette population africaine . En France c’est déjà acté .

@user-ht3vx3du4b Sorry if our opinion bothers you more than the shitty place these people made for themselves. Poverty is no excuse for a lack of discipline and hygiene.
Me my girlfriend and some friends went to New York in February 2024, and this was the exact street where our hotel was located, (Opera House Hotel at minute 26:40), So many memories in this video!!! It can be a little intimidating walking around that area, especially during night time and it is definitely a very different environment compared to Manhattam. It snowed a lot during that time while we were there, but overall we had a blast in New York! But anyway like you said "if you don't bother people, nobody is going to bother you." Thank you for the footage 🗽
Great video! I am from Greece and never been to usa. The only idea I had for Bronx was from hip hop artist krs one - south Bronx i was listening when I was young. Nice to see that people walk free and nobody mess with nobody ❤
That’s convenient have a McDonald’s by the stadium Well it looks good there the nice old buildings still hard to find parking line the red apple bench my dad grew up in the Bronx great video
Desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱 Sudamérica,, un excelente recorrido por un barrio de Nueva York, que desgraciadamente no conocí, cuando visité esa ciudad. Gracias por mostrar una realidad y un gran contraste entre dos zonas muy diferentes, en particular la rica. Para quienes vivimos en América del Sur,, resulta muy interesante ver cómo viven sus habitantes , en una gran ciudad como Nueva York. Felicitaciones.
@@14ariel77 Desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱 Sudamérica. Cuando uno viaja a un país tan grande como Estados Unidos, por lo menos para mí,, trato de conocer lo máximo posible,, en especial lo que no es turístico. Es interesante conocer como es la realidad que no se muestra. Ya sé que puede ser peligroso,, o quizás decepcionante. Son formas diferentes de ver la vida. De todas maneras,, gracias por tu opinión. A lo mejor, tienes razón.
At times during this amazing video, it felt like you were in a 3rd world country. But everyone I have talked to who is from NYC or has lived there always speaks so lovingly about it, and about the special vibe and enrrgy of it. 👍
Not gon hold you… i lived in polo grounds.. & 149 3d Ave in the X... Trust me these blocks lol…. Gotta go more deep in the neighborhood thats when u gon see the goons out word..
Lol. Bronx is not dangerous unless you're in a gang. Besides that, its fine. It's usually the crazy people with mental illness that cause the problem. Gangs always cause harm to other gangs or school related. I use to live in a lot of these areas. Even where the guy that was on the ground thats on Fordham RD. There are homeless and rehab clinics in that area
Lmao I was just looking at my 2nd grade picture where 80% of the bronx was abandoned buildings filled with addicts, now it's top 3 safest city with 1M people, what a change.
@@mosesbecerril7981they said it’s filthy and disgusting which it is. There is garbage absolutely everywhere. An overall NYC problem to be fair but gets especially bad in the Bronx
Here we go again...just because you saw ONE PART of the Bronx doesn't automatically mean the entire borough is. And don't give me the "I never said the entire borough is bad" when your comment clearly implies it. Stop bad mouthing the Bronx.
@@NovusOSC Amen to that! I grew up on Burke Avenue and WPR...late 50's - 60's...Morris Park Aven after that through 1978...were still beautiful areas even at that time...
What has happened to the Bronx man. 70 years ago that was the best place in New York. So many famous people lived there, and it was a massive center of tourism.
I'm Asian American from Queens and go up to the Bronx for the night market or Yankees games. It's always all love when I go there and the locals love to chat about random stuff with me. 🤣
Hey that's a bit random but here it is: about ten years ago I had my first and only stay in NYC. We tried to go to as many different boroughs / areas as possible but six days weren't enough to cover it all. Mainly Manhattan, part of Brooklyn, Staten Island and we barely set a foot in Harlem, not even knowing we were there. My wife is from Wenzhou and I realized a lot of Wenzhounese had settled in Queens, so if you have any tip as to where to go next time, which place to see and where to meet the locals, etc I'd be glad. If you're not from there, just ignore this haha. Cheers from Paris.
Soy argentino y puedo decir que el bronx esta mucho mejor que muchos barrios de mi pais ,podria ser una zona de clase media tipica de argentina (incluso mejor)
im pretty jealous u, ive never been in united states but lived 15 years in İstanbul. met some peaple from new york but not much just some, while been stayed some small hotels. hope soon move to visite new york as well but anyway jealous all american citizens nowever who they are, is a great luck to be born in this country, born in Amerika❤
I lived there in the 70s&80s I went to ps32 then ps45 then to Roosevelt H.S. Wasn’t too bad, so long as you stayed in your hood . I got jumped a few times for going into wrong park or area 🤷🏻♂️.
Don't make judgment of America because you watch a video of a poor place or neighborhood in New York! this is the best country in the world and everyone wants to come here! in fact this is Wonderland! God bless America!
I remember when 3rd Ave had an el train running above it. This was back in the 60s and 70s The population at that time was mostly black, white and Puerto Rican. White ppl left. That was called white flight.
"So-called human faults are false labels, not laws, so we don’t have to accept them as belonging to us and consequently act them out. To believe that we can’t help ourselves because we were created with these failings or sins would dishonor God. Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health: “Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death. The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor can God, by whom man is evolved, engender the capacity or freedom to sin. . . . In divine Science, God and the real man are inseparable as divine Principle and idea” (pp. 475, 476). As the perfect reflection of God, man expresses divinely derived qualities such as discernment, patience, obedience, humility, love, and the desire to be useful and serve God in a way that blesses all.'

It isn't the same through a screen (no matter how big) at all. But this place is not worth visiting. You should try getting off your ass and visiting a city that is worth it tho, gramps.

Hey, man! Thanks for your video. You really know how to show around: you slow down your speed, turns the camera to specific points, and you have a steady hold of your bike, not moving in zigzag. I'm really enjoying it! By the way, I'm from Recife, Brazil. See you!
I agree. He does great. I think he's using a onewheel instead of a bike though.
I used to live in the Bronx and this is depressing to watch !! SMH
Great job covering the areas though 👍
I used to work in the area of Yankee Stadium. It is not dangerous, but it is dirty.
Очакванията за ми за САЩ са доста по различни от видяното , но въпреки това благодаря за видеото . Камерата ви е невероятна страхотно качество. Поздрави от България !
If you want to do this kind of video in another section of NYC, I suggest you do that in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn which is the place I grew up in, it used to be a Mafiosi neighborhood of italians and jews. Now it has become a haven for the east coast chapters of the bloods and crips. You won't find more history anywhere in NYC. The place has a VERY storied past. The movie Goodfellas was about the Canarsie "crew", which to date is recognized as the most violent crew in the history of the Italian mafiia in the U.S. . As kids growing up there, we used to come across dead bodies in Seaview Park. It wasn't anything which shocked us although it should have been. It was a quiet middle class neighborhood on the surface with a severely violent under current.
That dead end block is beautiful to me! With those cute doors to the lower apartments love it! Very nice! Good and Bad in every neighborhood!!
They must be new of course theyre gonna be good
It’s in Washington heights and it’s old , I use to live close by 15 yrs ago .
It's very expensive
@@dassolosyndikat5113no they're not new it's a historic district it's expensive and they pay tons to keep it looking good
So this is how the Bronx looks like , never been to New York. Thank you for sharing.
Parts of the Bronx. There are much nicer areas. Happens to be filming the more “diverse “ areas
Bless us and save us!!!!😱 I can't believe I walked through these very streets while growing up in Mott Haven over sixty years ago that the entire districts, especially Fordham Road, turned the Bronx into a smut and filth borough today. How can it be that Fordham was once a popular shopping site where you could spend the weekends with your family visiting stores, eating in small delicatessens, and participating in social street activities all year round? Watching this upload is not only shocking, but it fills my heart with despair to find nothing but disorder and mayhem among the neighborhoods that were pristine at one time, with residents who rigorously precedented in maintaining the quality of life in the Bronx. Judging by the current outlook of the streets and blocks, I wouldn't go near my old neighborhood if you promised me room and board at the Waldorf because it comes as no surprise that an invader would cut my throat to apprehend my $10.00 watch.
When the hell was this I was there in the 90's and it definitely wasn't that
@@Reysmash183rdshe said over SIXTY years ago, that’s much earlier then the 90’s
@@tylerrobinson85 Lmao
You're not alone, it's in every desirable U.S. city now.
It's exactly the opposite here and for me and the rest of us so called "Left Overs" in my good 'ol neighborhood.
It's gentrified and almost entirely racially exclusive now and attempting to become shi shi west.
My landlord (read scumbag) has attempted to unlawfully evict me six times since 2000 because of greed with some racial prejudice mixed in.
Low lifes don't necessarily have to look a certain way and be from any particular class.
I agree! I worked south south bronx for 35 yrs, Now it sucks esp hunts point, Cant sugar coat shit.
Looks dangerous - scary and very dirty. Hard to believe/digest. Thanks for sharing.
dirty, yes. disgustingly so. scary/dangerous, not at all, but a little stressful because so many fake people you have to be kinda guarded about who you trust.

Boy! What a ride! I really enjoyed it very much. My opinion of the South Bronx has changed dramatically. It definitely has nothing to envy the other counties and sectors of the city. So much different from the walking tours, where you're at a slow pace throughout the journey, not seeing most of what is on the left nor right. Here, you're at a brisk pace taking in so much. Thanks a million.
I know appearances can be deceiving, but I found your ride along of the Bronx and surrounding areas to be very enjoyable and exciting to view. I am aware that when the sun goes down, things can change in a heart beat. But all in all I really did enjoy your video. Bless you my friend.
When the sun goes down other things go down!
Either you're being facetious or you're trash urself
The Bronx at night depends where can be um like a 3rd world country ... especially by Yankee stadium ...
@@johnmc3862 Pedestrians, I suppose
Sht I grew up in a time when it didn't matter if the sun was out and 80% that was abandoned ran by street gangs...what a difference from the 80s

The thing that hurts the most is seeing the men lying on the ground and all that rubbish left on the ground, as if time could take care, instead of us humans... 😌🙂
You never been to Harlem then… homeless on ground is typical from the very very little I saw
@@travelandeats8518No, unfortunately I haven't been to New York yet... I only saw Miami and Key West in 2000! In Miami there were quite a few, even of Caucasian origin. 😌😏

First time seeing the Bronx apart from the movies I didn’t realise Yankee stadium was that close to the centre of the Bronx
It wouldn’t look as bad if the place had a goof clean up do they not employ road sweepers? Anyway fascinating video👍👍
I came here in 2015... & nothing has changed !!! Nice video very smooth
What kind of stabilizer are you using to record? Incredible clean and steady footage.
I visit my sister who lives in the Bronx near 171st & Washington Ave. I’ve never felt scared. It indeed looks this way,and most people leave you alone minding their business. However, with that said, it is an urban jungle. Ugly landscape, littered streets. Crackheads prevalent especially early mornings on Tremont Ave. Most crimes happen at night time as with any other city worldwide. Guns are a common problem with young males. There are pockets of old italian neighborhoods scattered throughout the Bronx, but those are slowly dying out because the younger generation of Italians don’t want to run the family businesses. Gentrification is currently happening in 2024, forcing out many Hispanic and native African residents to leave due to skyrocketing rent prices
Puerto Ricans aswell as Italians➡️🏃🏃♀️
Your use to the trash I’m from Florida this looks terrifying

@user-ht3vx3du4b Sorry if our opinion bothers you more than the shitty place these people made for themselves. Poverty is no excuse for a lack of discipline and hygiene.
I hope to visit your country and especially this area one day. Thank you for the footage it was amazing
Me my girlfriend and some friends went to New York in February 2024, and this was the exact street where our hotel was located, (Opera House Hotel at minute 26:40), So many memories in this video!!!
It can be a little intimidating walking around that area, especially during night time and it is definitely a very different environment compared to Manhattam. It snowed a lot during that time while we were there, but overall we had a blast in New York! But anyway like you said "if you don't bother people, nobody is going to bother you."
Thank you for the footage 🗽
Sylvan Terrace is not a part of the Bronx. It is located in Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan just above Harlem.
It's also an extremely expensive block, those lil townhouse apartments are $$$$$$$$$
Looks like the place Rocky Balboa was living on the first movie, but that was Philadelphia.
i thought it was in manhattan
Facts .. I’m from Wagner & ppl forever mistake this
Whats with the tiny front doors?
Excellent video!
The Boogie Down. The Yanks. Orchard and the streets that made American culture.
Great video! I am from Greece and never been to usa. The only idea I had for Bronx was from hip hop artist krs one - south Bronx i was listening when I was young. Nice to see that people walk free and nobody mess with nobody ❤
Normally I don't comment. Great video. Felt like a mini vacation
I've never been to NY before but thank you for this tour. It was like being there without being there thank you again for the tour.
The state of New York is much larger than N.Y.C. also. There is a Lot of Country and small towns in the State as Well.🙂
It’s not like being there. It’s like watching a video on TH-cam.
I can see where certain areas would be a little dangerous at late night. But pretty cool during the day.
2:59 thank you enjoy the stroll around my neighborhood
The homes at the start of this are so cool. I looked them up and some of them are renovated nicely and pretty pricey.
That’s convenient have a McDonald’s by the stadium
Well it looks good there the nice old buildings still hard to find parking line the red apple bench my dad grew up in the Bronx great video
Desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱 Sudamérica,, un excelente recorrido por un barrio de Nueva York, que desgraciadamente no conocí, cuando visité esa ciudad. Gracias por mostrar una realidad y un gran contraste entre dos zonas muy diferentes, en particular la rica. Para quienes vivimos en América del Sur,, resulta muy interesante ver cómo viven sus habitantes , en una gran ciudad como Nueva York. Felicitaciones.
Obvio no te perdiste nada interesante
@@14ariel77 Desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱 Sudamérica. Cuando uno viaja a un país tan grande como Estados Unidos, por lo menos para mí,, trato de conocer lo máximo posible,, en especial lo que no es turístico. Es interesante conocer como es la realidad que no se muestra. Ya sé que puede ser peligroso,, o quizás decepcionante. Son formas diferentes de ver la vida.
De todas maneras,, gracias por tu opinión. A lo mejor, tienes razón.
Es una mierda 💩 está video y el lugar también brox
hey love how you addressed what ride you use at the beginning. hello from Toronto great video!
At times during this amazing video, it felt like you were in a 3rd world country.
But everyone I have talked to who is from NYC or has lived there always speaks so lovingly about it, and about the special vibe and enrrgy of it. 👍
They respect were they are from but no there is no positivity among living in a drug run down poor neighborhood.
Not much white person😂😂
Go through one of the 100s of thousands of trailer parks in the Midwest and south, then tell me if the story is similiar.
Nice treadmill video!! Good work
Not gon hold you… i lived in polo grounds.. & 149 3d Ave in the X... Trust me these blocks lol…. Gotta go more deep in the neighborhood thats when u gon see the goons out word..
Lol. Bronx is not dangerous unless you're in a gang. Besides that, its fine. It's usually the crazy people with mental illness that cause the problem. Gangs always cause harm to other gangs or school related. I use to live in a lot of these areas. Even where the guy that was on the ground thats on Fordham RD. There are homeless and rehab clinics in that area
I'm from Indonesia, yours video is very clean, thanks and successful for you 🙏
It’s disgusting how filthy the Bronx has become.
Lmao you know NOTHING of The Bronx. Go look up 70-80s Bronx here on this platform then get back to me.
Lmao I was just looking at my 2nd grade picture where 80% of the bronx was abandoned buildings filled with addicts, now it's top 3 safest city with 1M people, what a change.
@@mosesbecerril7981they said it’s filthy and disgusting which it is. There is garbage absolutely everywhere. An overall NYC problem to be fair but gets especially bad in the Bronx
Here we go again...just because you saw ONE PART of the Bronx doesn't automatically mean the entire borough is. And don't give me the "I never said the entire borough is bad" when your comment clearly implies it. Stop bad mouthing the Bronx.
@@NovusOSC Amen to that! I grew up on Burke Avenue and WPR...late 50's - 60's...Morris Park Aven after that through 1978...were still beautiful areas even at that time...
What has happened to the Bronx man. 70 years ago that was the best place in New York. So many famous people lived there, and it was a massive center of tourism.
hes literally showing ONLY the bad parts
Not anymore, descent people left and move somewhere
I lived in the Bronx in 2014 and 2015, I miss it so much
I'm Asian American from Queens and go up to the Bronx for the night market or Yankees games. It's always all love when I go there and the locals love to chat about random stuff with me. 🤣
Hey that's a bit random but here it is: about ten years ago I had my first and only stay in NYC. We tried to go to as many different boroughs / areas as possible but six days weren't enough to cover it all. Mainly Manhattan, part of Brooklyn, Staten Island and we barely set a foot in Harlem, not even knowing we were there. My wife is from Wenzhou and I realized a lot of Wenzhounese had settled in Queens, so if you have any tip as to where to go next time, which place to see and where to meet the locals, etc I'd be glad. If you're not from there, just ignore this haha. Cheers from Paris.
@moussetache1815 maybe Flushing, Queens. Jackson heights or Woodside. Check them out
Super video! Thx a virtual walking! What type is your camera?
I'd like to know what camera was used too.
Some Streets looking clean and peacefull and nice. I know the pictures from the 70s. Greedings from Germany
You must have a great camera - these come out very crisp and clear
New York greatest city in America my ars!
"The way people romanticize poverty, neglect, filth, idleness, and everything else seen in this video is nauseating."
wonderful video
Soy argentino y puedo decir que el bronx esta mucho mejor que muchos barrios de mi pais ,podria ser una zona de clase media tipica de argentina (incluso mejor)
Thank you! I didn’t get to visit those parts when I travelled in NYC last Summer. Very cool city, love it
This is my Neighborhood i grew up here.......i always feel safe......
im pretty jealous u, ive never been in united states but lived 15 years in İstanbul. met some peaple from new york but not much just some, while been stayed some small hotels. hope soon move to visite new york as well but anyway jealous all american citizens nowever who they are, is a great luck to be born in this country, born in Amerika❤

Very smooth 🤌🏽 perfect
What camera did you use?
OMG THE STREETS ARE SO CLEAN…EXCLUSIVE
Wish you would’ve went up 4 more blocks when u got to 3rd Ave 154th st. But u turned around. I grew up in this area as a kid.
I remember when 3rd Ave had an el train running above it. This was back in the 60s and 70s The population at that time was mostly black, white and Puerto Rican. White ppl left. That was called white flight.
"So-called human faults are false labels, not laws, so we don’t have to accept them as belonging to us and consequently act them out. To believe that we can’t help ourselves because we were created with these failings or sins would dishonor God. Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health: “Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death. The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor can God, by whom man is evolved, engender the capacity or freedom to sin. . . . In divine Science, God and the real man are inseparable as divine Principle and idea” (pp. 475, 476).
As the perfect reflection of God, man expresses divinely derived qualities such as discernment, patience, obedience, humility, love, and the desire to be useful and serve God in a way that blesses all.' Christian Science Journal

Hi, chanced upon your channel. Thank you for giving an insight into one of the famous areas of NYC.
what is your mode of transport? Electric skateboard? Are you using a visible camera mount? A few people gave you that side eye when they noticed being filmed. lol
One wheel GT. Apparently, if you take your time learning to use it, people 10 to 80can use it easily.
hahahahaha I was thinking the same thing !! Good footage too !!!! Jesus lord,!! Be safe on that thing !!!
i was thinking Paul Blart Mall Cop segway man
How is thhe camera hidden. Very few people pay attention to it, so I would guess that it is hidden in some way
Lleva la cámara en el casco de protección de la cabeza
Clearly a lot of people noticed being filmed

I really enjoyed watching this as a traveler who has recently relocated and settled a bit back home this made feel like I was outside . ❤
Man this neighbourhood is ugly, it's just so eclectic and kitschy, no building fits any of the others visually. It's like no planning process went into building this place.
This is just like the average big city in Brazil. Our downtowns are mostly depressive and dangerous at night.
