24 Hours in the Bronx

  • I took a last minute detour and made my way north to the Bronx to visit Lucy, an old friend I had not seen in nearly a decade. Lucy is originally from the Domican Republic, and has fought her entire life to give herself and her family a better life. She helped raise me during some hard times in my home life, so she is like an auntie to me. After jumping around Puerto Rico, DR and New York for decades, she now resides permanently in the Bronx due to her disabilities. She is one of the best and most interesting people I know, so I wanted to take you guys with me and show you a glimpse of the local life in the Bronx, but also the heart and soul of it, Lucy.

    Ok. You got me going. I started watching tus videos.,I like them. I was born in the Bronx, me dad was in the army, but spend most the time with my grandparents in Patterson. Went to UPR . Tuve una beca por deporte. Tennis, Gymnastics and Pista y campo. Go Gallinas!. Have metals and letras for 3 years and muy orgullosas de ella. The most thing I like about you is your humility and good heart. Funny? Yeap, big time. Lol I am in Texas picking up my Jeep to ship to PR. Going to take care of mom. I was living full time on my motorhome since last year and nothing like it! You will love it, that I know. Maybe sometime we will meet and things can happen girl! Stay strong, keep going and God bless! I'm in Carolina...

    From the midwest and have visited the Bronx a few times and rode the trains. From the end of the 4 to Yankees Stadium. From Dyre Avenue on 2/5 (I think) to 138th Street. Also the old Little Italy in Belmont 👊👌 ....been some years

    if ur ever in NYC again i know a place with tons of those canons like the ones on the beach u went to where there as a photographer, but way bigger and more to explore, i grew up going around them as as kid, they have an amazing view and u can see the skyline from a different angle than anywhere else... and i saw another comment mentioning seaview, i live 5 mins from there but have never been.
    I'm so glad i found ur videos, i dont expect u to remember this comment but it would be cool to show u these places one day. ur videos remind me of my childhood/teenage years so much. have me feeling so old reminiscing at 28 years

      Hi it’s me the girl from Brooklyn. I pray to GOD that you and your family are all doing well . Also I forgot to mention on my first text that I am sooo sorry about the passing of your grandma. I also lost my grandma, but a very long time ago . Now your grandma and mine are in a beautiful awesome place with our beloved GOD. They will always be alive in our hearts. I wanted to ask you if you have ever gone to Camuy ? That is my home town. If you have did you ever go to la cueva de Camuy. Also when are you to put more videos I enjoy watching your videos.

    Este video muestra cómo la familia no tiene que ser de sangre, gente que te da amor, consejos, su casa, su comida a veces son más familiares que la familia de sangre!
    Que diferente se ve el Bronx, la última vez que estuve ahí fue en 1973, yo tenía como 8 o 9 años, hoy día tengo 57 , yo y mi familia vivíamos en East Camden New Jersey y teníamos familia en el Bronx.

    Ok this video was my favorite video! Lol Lucy is such a sweetheart! As a local New Yorker (in Brooklyn) and as a Puerto Rican this video touched my heart. Lucy reminds me of my mom, she won’t quit cigarettes and if we go to a sushi spot I have to identify the dishes that have rice and meat 😂😂 🇵🇷🇵🇷❤️❤️

    I use to live in the Bronx in Soundview, also in New York city and Brooklyn,, so yeah things are pretty expensive there. The noise also gets to be too much. But it's got its charming areas, some nice places to explore. I miss the metro card 💳 😅

    I've been following you for only a week or so after seeing your comment on the Dry Wrangler school dude's video regarding your account on TH-cam and the views/subs you have. I've enjoyed what I've seen you post thus far. I found this video to be especially good due to the conversation you had with that lovely woman around the 8-10 minute mark. You both are very caring/intelligent individuals, just based on the talk alone. I agree that you shouldn't live for the world... keep posting cause it makes you happy. :)
    Sincerely, a happy new subber!

She’s exactly right most people only show the “TikTok/IG” side of living in NYC, but there’s a whole non-rich population who live here and have awesome fun fulfilling lives. Let’s normalize and romanticize the non rich side of NYC life lol
