Walking NYC : Kings Highway - Gravesend, Brooklyn
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- I take a walk on Kings Highway in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn. This street was originally an Indian trail, but is now home to many restaurants, businesses, and residences. It is named after the Brooklyn's county name of Kings, which was named in honor of Kings Charles II of England.

Loving the historical context given to the scenery. Makes me appreciate the places more. Another great video, AK 👏
Thanks!
Love how you give a lot of information about the area where you walk each time. Like the subway station.
Just love your warm historical walk here at Kings Hwy...Good to know a little bit of history here.Thks bro!
Actionkid!!!!! You read my mind!!!!!
Earlier, the day you filmed this, I'd just become aware of the King's Highway and researched it, craving more knowledge and exposure to it.
Thank you again. You are a true artist to include the lovely black part as an addendum - brilliant.
I have the lady sipping a drink in front of "Georgia (something)" in my mind now in an artful way.
Keep up the original and irreplaceable work.🌼
The Action Kid on a hot afternoon 🚶♂️on Kings Highway in Brooklyn. This is an enjoying & educational 🚶♂️ for us as The Action Kid is particularly talkative today with facts & knowledge 👌 🐼
Kings Highway does not terminate in Flatlands today. It terminates at East 98th Street near Clarkson Avenue, at the border of East Flatbush and Brownsville.
You're right! It goes on for much further than the Flatlands. The southeastern corner of Kings Highway historically used to be there.
@@ActionKid Yup, I actually lived in Brooklyn for 40 years. Most of the time on East 51 Street near Avenue O, not too far from Kings Plaza. I consider that part of Flatlands, other people say "Old Mill Basin", others say Marine Park. All those neighborhoods seem to blend into each other, LOL!
I applaud the shopkeepers of KIngs Highway for keeping their sidewalks so well swept.
I grew up in the house at 1728 E8th St, It is behind the Mirage Diner (19:48). I left Brooklyn in 1973, We lived on E8th St from 1957 until about 1970, from the time I was 12 years old until I got married. The stores have changed but my block looks the same, except the Mirage Diner used to be Sal & Sam's Esso Gas Station (actual they were both Sal). The theatre next to the diner used to be called the Jewel Theatre, it played adult films like Bridgette Bardot, risque stuff, The box office closed about 9:30 but the doors remained unlock and I would sneak in after walking my dog at night.
I used to live on Quentin Rd for 5 yrs with my family right there off of Kings Hwy! I loved the area. Not too much crime to speak of and there are 3 subway train lines on Kings Hwy--the N, F, and the Q, so there was always a way to get somewhere without excuses! I loved the area and still do whenever I go to visit. Thanks so much posting this---brings about great memories :)
Spent 50 years around Kings Highway, was a good place growing up..Vegas for the next 50.
Thank you, ActionKid. I used to have some friends in that area. Seems quiet for a Wednesday. I guess it was due to the heat. It's a pleasure that you are always so kind about all the diversity of people and businesses in this city. Thank you for challenging the heat as you did here!
Yes, it was challenging to walk this in the heat!
It’s interesting to see all those places, a lot of them are discribed in many of the books i read! It’s facinating to see them in real life! Thank’s! TC!
Just wondering what books have you read that talk about this place?
@@arielurbas8427 try books by Jeffrey Deaver!
I love these AK. I always wanted to visit NYC and never managed to. This is such a brilliant way for me to do it, tagging along with you. Thank you. I hope you never stop doing them. Love from the UK x
If you ever do come to New York don't waste your time going into any of the boroughs. Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island the Bronx. Waste of time. All the action is in Manhattan that's where you want to go, The city of Manhattan nowhere else.
@@Mr.Robert1 Thanks for the advice but I think I can decide on that myself. And actually, I’d like to go to all of them.
Great video AK! I enjoyed it very much. I love Brooklyn. I have very heartfelt ties out there. Thankyou for the walk around. Sorry your phone over heated. ❤
Babu Bhatt says you are doing the most excellent veedee-ooo, AK! 💯👍🏽
Lol. The guy closed his window after realizing it was you!
Lmao the guy was probably thinking ok dude I just wanted to say hey, as Actionkid was trying to tell his life story to him.
Thank for your video. It brings so many memories when I used to live there.👍
Thanks for the tour. Kings Hwy was my first home. Parents had a basement apartment there
. I was born in Madison Park Hospital kinda near King's Highway
Another awesome video,Ken!!!
Kings Highway it was the first place that I knew when I came to USA, I was a Caregiver for a Jewish older 84 years old person! I was 26 years old! My life changed 360 degree coming to NY in 1982!...amazing!
Just moved in this neighborhood, thanks action kid
Sorry your phone overheated. I was hoping you’d make it as far as the Kingsway Theater and the old Crazy Eddie location.😆
It's too bad. At least I was able to get a good portion of it!
@@ActionKid Definitely. I appreciated the portion that you were able to get. 55 years ago I used to ride the B5 along there.
It's a nice city with good picture quality.
Picture quality on any video camera and or still camera is usually better the more light you have as you can see it's a bright sunny day it would not be as sharp on a cloudy day that's just the way it works without getting into the explanation
I live two blocks from the Kings highway train station, and took it every day to go to Manhattan for years
Kings Highway looks pretty nice neighborhood with nice spots !!!
I am sorry that your phone overheated. I have enjoyed 3 or 4, of your videos. I have been to NYC, maybe 3 or 4 times. I am 74 years old, and a native of Prince George's County, MD. I moved to MD's. Eastern Shore, in 1988. Again I really enjoy your walking videos, of NYC. I hope to catch the video, that you say, will be in Coney Island, as I have never been to Coney Island. Thank you again.
Wow, I grew up in that area and it really has changed quite a lot, especially throughout the years and the pandemic. Thanks for taking on this trip and documenting it! Really brings me back to my childhood through high school years again! Cheers AK!
I could imagine the changes in the neighborhood since your childhood!
🎶Walking up the King's Highway-ay-ay🎶
😆😉
✨Really sorry you couldn’t continue all the way to at least Flatbush Ave. / Kings Hi. 😩✌🏼✨🎈🎭🇺🇸
WHY Maxine Waters as your avatar???
Didn't know Ocean Parkway was the first bike trail created in N.Y. I have to try it out.
Opened in 1894
My old neighborhood 😩😍
Love this district. Thank you, Action Kid! It was amazing
You seem to know that area well Action Kid!
I had a dream I back in April that I thought was in Manhattan, when you left the subway station 🚉 I finally found out where my dream actually was. I've never been here, but technically have hehe
Thanks Kenneth.
Hey AK! What's up? Wow!My favorite Brooklyn !!! Awesome! !!
Me too
Great historical walk of Kings Highway. Thanks.
Thanks AK !!! Again an interesting tour. I discovered again dutch history. Ruud Mulder NYC-FAN The Netherlands.
Ooh, lived here my whole life and didn't know some of the Indian history. Great video!
You can also see the predominantly Syrian Jewish part of Gravesend the next time you visit. It's a few blocks east when you were close to Ocean Parkway, close to the public school P.S 215. There are a lot of beautiful homes there in a quiet neighborhood, think like Prospect Park South and Fiske Terrace but not colonial style.
Love Brooklyn new york
That pizza shop at 2:55 is really good.
ActionKid is that you!!
Who else could it be
He is the one and only!
Cool
I noticed early in the video by the N train Walgreen's closed. So many new buildings in the west streets and KH recently. The man in the car probably couldn't hear your reply, he rolled the window up maybe to save AC.
used to be a small hobby shop next to the grocery store
BEST PIZZA IS
L&B Spumoni Gardens on 86th Street been there forever best Sicilian pizza on the planet
09:05 van Sicklen Street.....Dutch history: The Lady Moody-Van Sicklen House is a rare surviving example of an 18th century Dutch-American farmhouse and a reminder of Brooklyn’s agricultural past. In addition to being one of the oldest houses in Brooklyn, it is also the borough’s only extant house of its age and type to be built of stone. Landmark

Awesome video. Quick question, will you be filming the Macy's fireworks on Sunday?
Great tour 👍
I might have been to that diner. How far is that point from Ave. J??
Nice area i live here
Nice video Thanks for sharing
What a bummer about your phone. Hope your able to do some research on phones and get a better one for yourself. It was still a real good video🌟
Hey!!! That is my 'hood!!! Watching from W9th and Highlawn av.
Will you come back to do the rest of Kings Highway?
I lived on W. 3rd st and Kings Highway
Great pizza on Staten Island, lots of great pizza, including Denino's, an institution and has been around since 1932. Joe and Pat's pizza is another one...and no matter where you go, there's quality pizza on Staten Island, and less generic stuff than other boroughs. I think the Bronx has the least of the high end great pizzas out of all the boros.
Why film on day when its 93° and uncomfortable?
You rock AK
I used to live on West 8th Street
You need a little umbrella or some shade for your camera. Maybe you could get someone to custom make one for you.
This is very inspiring: reminds me of 2 Esdras 15:46, 47
Do you still got a lot of Italian American in this part of New York ?
AK offers free advertising to these businesses in the various neighborhoods on these vids . You would not know them unless you lived or worked there .
Very much
It is strange that so many stores are called kings something on kings highway.
I live a block from the N train station
where are all the people?
It was a very hot day, so most people were inside with air conditioning on!
Working in Manhattan or not out on a 93 degree day only idiots are out in that weather
Back to 2016, I used to walk to Coney Island Avenue to work. At that time, I feel physically and mentally the best shape. A fatty Mom asked me why I don’t drive, and I was thinking :”if I drive everyday, I will become a fatty men”, but I didn’t said that to her.
Why didn’t you tell me you were walking through my neighborhood?? You were so close to my house! I would have baked a cake!
It’s my way - my way or Kings Highway
Is it all called Gravesend .?
KINGS Highway is The Hollywood Blvd of Brooklyn without the Times Square Factor of Highland Ave in Los Angeles
I dont think so, fulton Street-Downtown brooklyn is.
The end of the video is so dark!😣
Hello cómo estás bella voz que linda voz tienes siempre te lo digo estoy subscripta y te coloco un me gusta y comparto tus videos saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🙏💖💖💖💖cuídate chau hasta otro vídeo !!!!!! Happy Day Independencia
It's too bad you did notproceed up hte hwy to the Oldest house in Brooklyn, the Cival war time 23rd street
Did the dude at 8:10 almost fall back?
my neighborhood gravesend,
Had you would have powered your phone down.
Let it cool off for a good 20 minutes.
You would have been good to go.
Your phone did warn you but then again you need common sense to do something like that you are outside on a 93° day so that basically sums it up right there.
I lived on 34th and Kings Highway. I don't recognize this.
It looks deserted. I know you said it was hot, but I don't get it.
8:15 I can attest to this. 😂👍
Try Brothers Pizza on Staten Island
At 6:35 AK got his ID , again . Go kid ! If it was me I would quietly let AK do his thing . AK is relentless in making his vids . I would however shout out to new mom the glamourous Sarah Funk, the cute Jennifer O Brien , or the earthy What A Shame Mary Jane .
RIP Joe Pisa
12:16 well damn a bullet right to my chest right there lmao. We have good pizza here in Staten Island... we got Round Pie, J & B's we got Mama Rosario's and more.
Them guys at 8:30 were the Mafia they were the Bonano Crime family sitting outside that cafe..
Very smart John
@@Mr.Robert1L😂L or... Loss Of Life
People notice you!
hello TH-cam
Yoo I buy things from there
Hi I find it very rude to notify me that you are going live allow me to say hello to everyone and get greeting in return from Lina for one and then shut me down . If you find no value in a subscriber that is inter active with you channel and share's your channel then block me you were the very first vlogger I ever watched as we are a big part of the Toy shows in New York . I wish you the very best of luck . From Southern California .
I just realized something: New York isn't all that's cracked up to be.
You have to go to Manhattan where the action is the city not in the borough of Kings Highway there's nothing here at all nothing to see here believe me I've lived in Brooklyn New York and worked in Manhattan for half of my life then I moved out into Maryland moved around the country a little bit not going to name every place I went I'm living in Brooklyn again directly across the street from the boardwalk in Brighton Beach.
@@Mr.Robert1 I see. In this case, it wouldn't be crazy for each of these boroughs to be a city of their own then. They're individually huge anyway.
I live there at kings highway (no address)
Hello brave history video biographer. Enjoy the July summer days.🍕
