thank u everyone for ur support, it means the world to lil ol meeeeee ＜3
#newyorkcity #nyc
*I can verify that this is true.* I live in Chinatown and it’s a poor man’s dream. You can literally buy anything you want for a feather.
Chinese people dgaf about profits in their stores for some reason, they’re like nah I gotta keep my prices the same for 30 years cuz people rely on me. fuck yeah
LITERALLY. And Wah-Fung ALWAYS has a line.
It's like this in China Town in San Francisco too, it's fucking incredible. Being poor is gonna have me learning Chinese just by immersion i stg
@@introvertedmadness kinda hard with the USUAL SUSPECTS attacking the community now
I do miss those wholesale stores where I could buy a pack of 100 pens for $3 and it was actually refreshing to see the elderly people out exercising in the park together every morning, like there’s a real sense of community in those neighborhoods
I was born and raised in nyc and still live here and I got to say this is the most accurate vid about life in nyc I've seen so far, I'd love to see you do a vid on the nyc public school experience
when i drop the stuy video it’s over
Yo Word! Me too!! This Shit was tooo fucking Accurate! Lmaooo I was cracking up!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@introvertedmadness not Stuy lol
Same, amazing vid
@@introvertedmadness NOT STUY GHAHHAHA
As an NYU student I have never felt so attacked by such an accurate representation 😭

I will rewatch as many times as i need to get the views up to the same levels as the original
i will build a shrine for u in minecraft
@@introvertedmadnesscan I have one too?
Same bro. I love it
What happened to the original?
@@yunalin2878 I think he took it down because it got demonetized. There are weird rules you have to adhere to to keep monetization.
Having lived in New York and getting culture shock on moving to Bay Area, I feel both your videos in my soul.
SF and Oakland aren’t too bad tbh. They’re probably the best recreations of the west coast version of NYC, just with less fun food. It use to be more radical and weird (in a good way) in SF/Oakland however the gentrification really has done a number on the life there. That kind of lifestyle is on life support there and only NYC is keeping the hope alive.
agreed bruh, the peninsula is so different from nyc. it’s like all the stress of a city with much less of the fun stuff lmao
@@introvertedmadness For me it was how you get around. Oh your house is 6 blocks over? I am a new yorker. I will walk.
Scene cut to - me trekking across non-existent sidewalk in deep Santa Clara with trucks zooming past at 60 mph and honking you out of the way.
@@abyrupus LITERALLY.
@@abyrupus yes this! I moved to berkeley from nyc, and i was expecting a walkable city for how much the bay area and berkeley are touted as walking cities. But boy is that not the case at all. the drop off from nyc for walking is CRAZY. biking drop off is smaller, but thats bc nyc is a bit dangerous to bike, but dont get me started on bart. all of the same problems with the nyc subway (maybe cleaner stations tho), but none of the convenience, frequency, or locations to get to. its just a miserable place
5:33 - 5:41 "It's like if everyone mean from your high school, moved to one place, and started using it as their cocaine playground to fuck up the world economy with". What an amazing and accurate description. What's more, this archetype has literally been around for more than a century in NYC.
what's crazy is he actually used a picture of someone i went to HS with 💀💀

@@hiwelcometochillis2579 and?
@@KonyCurrentYear learn what's macro economy, and inflation, and how people trying to fix it barely can because there is a war created by presidents that own part of Ukraine oil and they get personal benefit by sending money to Ukraine
Search on TH-cam: neocons politicians and how they work with any side of politics to create wars and make personal gain of it
@@KonyCurrentYear there is many videos on TH-cam, you're barking at the wrong tree, it's like Karen's that complain about bad workers when the problem is the bad manager not the workers
You're barking to economist and wall street bros, but the problem is presidents that sign for wars and neocons politicians that hide behind president of any wing
This is the first video on New York that didn't come from a place of bitterness or delusion. NYC has it's issues but I'd take it over any cookie-cutter mc-mansion suburb.
You're insane.
For real greatest city in the world, one of the only good things in my life is that I was born here
I take the suburb.
This is true.... if you're only thinking of the US, then yeah, NY is obviously A-tier. Globally though NYC is maybe C-tier at best. So many better cities overseas.
@@3xsxs953 as a Londoner, New York is better...
this made me want to live in NYC even more tbh 😭 ppl say they love NYC for the skyscrapers and glam but I love it due to the big personality it holds and big community nature that you wont find anywhere else
please don’t to many people here i’m begging 🙏🙏
same 😭 i cant stand the suburbs or atlanta anymore, it’s like nyc with more traffic, less fun, and everyone wants to know everything about your life
We don’t need more ppl 😅😂
Community? Lol
lmao "community" you're not finding that here only very small pockets if you've been there a while
This is a actually a really beautiful love letter to NYC!
As a Texan visiting New York City with a few of my school friends, I along with two other foreign exchange students from China, one from Nanjing, the other from Fuzhou City, Chinatown was indeed a blast. Even though I just walked through it with them for a whole hour. It was neat seeing the elderly playing board games in the main gathering area seen @ 2:47 in the video. One elderly Chinese guy offered me from afar to fling some ribbon with him. Another two guys playing music with one playing the erhu.
hell yeah brotha, can’t go wrong with chinatown. pure vibes
Who the fuck cares where they r from China, i am from China, i dont even care
@@lsdstrawberry6260 I don't mention where they are from, because I expect everyone to care, but for those that would want to hear about that, I provide it. It's not focused on Chinese people, but anyone interested in the fact that I went with people that could speak the language of that area, but were foreign to it. Something interesting about it.
visit Harlem
Yo as someone born and raised in NYC this absolutely 1000% accurate, anyone who says other wise has deadass not loved here long enough.
That halal inflation hurt hurt everyones wallet on a deep emotional level. NYC truly is a everyday experience on both extreme sides to it. You’ll see certified world star moment, hawks eating pigeons, wise homeless people who either smell pee or weed to a sweet churro lady.
Yo man awesome video really !
aye im glad you could relate my dude, this video is for all my nyc homies :) it may be a dumpster fire but its OUR dumpster fire. thank u for the support & i deadass hope u have a gr8 day g
I moved to NYC because of my spouse, freaked out, and moved back to Finland in 6 months. felt like an eternity tbh and enough to relate to this video on each and every level 🤡 I low-key envy people who say otherwise
@@verakatleta Why'd you freak out when you moved to NYC?
As someone from the Bay Area who moved to New York two years ago and is never leaving, I have to say you have made the only two videos anyone needs to watch about my two homes that anyone ever needs to see to fully understand them. Thank you for your hard work
i am nyc resident and i have never seen a more complete and accurate summary of this city 🔥
aye lets gooooooo :)))))))
This is probably one of the best videos about nyc ever. Being a native New Yorker, this dude is 100% on point.
I think what's missing in a lot of places is community and NYC seems to have it in spades. I haven't been to NYC but it sounds like there's a sense of community, even has people mind their own individualities.
Yeah I can confirm that it's the community. We're slowly losing that sense of community though b/c of rapid gentrification. I work in Brooklyn but am from Queens. Brooklyn, especially certain neighborhoods, you don't feel as much community or collectiveness as you used to. It's very much still present in Queens b/c it's not as gentrified yet. There's a very visible divide which especially came through during Covid. Parts of Brooklyn straight up became ghost towns b/c transplants couldn't deal with lockdowns in the city and went home. Queens was fine for the most part b/c it's mostly working people, families, people who call this their home and locals who have been here for years and years who don't get up and leave when the going gets rough. We were all helping each other out. Then just as the city started to be brought back from the dead (by the people who stayed) housing prices started to drop and locals finally started being able to afford apartments. Then lockdowns began to lift and the transplants came back to party it up while ignoring Covid and prices for everything shot back up. It was very obvious from how people behaved towards the pandemic who was a member of the community and who wasn't. A community can only exist when the people actively take part in the community. Too many transplants aren't made for NY and are here for the glitz and glamor only. They'll leave when the fun is up and the rest of us will clean up after them as we always do and keep NY as it is. We're a city made up of different communities that come together as New Yorkers when needed. I won't tolerate you looking my way today but if the sky falls tomorrow, I'll hold it up with you.
@@matcha_ do you think there's any way to slow down the gentrification?
yeah it's weird cuz people don't really talk to each other a lot so if you're from somewhere else you might be think: why are all these unfriendly people in my neighborhood just staring at me lol. but i do think the sense of community comes from a shared sense that we are all dealing with the same bs of everyday life and trying to make it the best we can lol. and especially when some bad shit is going on in the city, people will mobilize QUICK cuz we're all just trying to live our lives and get from point A to point B without too much trouble
gentrification is mad tough like matcha mentioned. i think there's a big supply and demand crunch coming soon cuz there simply doesn't seem to be enough housing for everyone who wants to be here. the cheapest house anywhere in nyc seems to be going for close to a million dollars. hopefully the people in charge figure it out!!! nyc ain't shit without the locals
To slow down gentrification, renter's need to band together and stay put when their landlord attempts to throw them out. They need to get over to the NYC court (they have free services, hours can be found online)... And the residents need to *not be pressured to move out* before obtaining a *very generous "buy out" amount* from their landlord. The landlord stands to gain a ton of $$$ by kicking out renter's who do not stand up for themselves, and who are ultimately left *poorer* as a result. Anecdotal point here, in the mid 2000's, I negotiated an $85k buy out from my landlord, who renovated my apartment after I moved and sold it for $650k. If more residents stood up and demanded (or asked nicely, or negotiated fairly) a buy out, it would not be a huge *gain* for landlords to throw tenants out. Hope you or someone finds this helpful. Good luck!!
Well, I am from Europe
I watched this just before my trip to visit NYC for the first time
I have never felt more prepared for anything in my entire life
Love the diversity, hate the weather
Weather is actually not that bad compared to other places(w 4 seasons)
Like the scrapers not the people
this is the nicest love letter anyone has ever written for nyc, bless up and amen
I Hope NY continue to keep this unique personality. I grew up in SF and so much of the community and the personality from SF is totally gone because of gentrification.
Hahaha sooo accurate! I lived and survived there for 6 years and it was the best of times, and the worst of times. NYC makes you a real human with endurance and tolerance that will carry you through anything in life.
I love this city with all my heart man. I've lived in wayyy cleaner places and way cheaper places and something about this city makes me never wanna leave.
i didn't appreciate it as much growing up since i was born here, but nyc does kick a lot of other place's butts. unlimited entertainment, awesome food, and you don't need a car!!! great place to be young and sexc
@@introvertedmadness Yo this is so random but do you think it would be possible for a fully practicing physician to rent a nice apartment in NYC- I'm talking like 8k+ a month roughly (ik that's rly expensive lol)
@@andiuptown1711only rich people are paying those kind of rents in NYC. Most people aren’t paying that much for rent. It’s still expensive for national standards, but nowhere near that amount
@@t4squared *I already know he meant Manhattan only tho*
@@vedantdave9778 with 8k you can pay my rent too
I’m so happy you uploaded again 🫶🏻 I love hearing your rants and thoughts on locations, you have talent for it
thank u :))))) ya i want to do more of these but i feel like im not qualified to roast anywhere else cuz I’ve only lived in nyc and the bay!!! mayhaps one day
@@introvertedmadness you can roast Charlotte Nc if you want to and I don’t care if you get anything wrong.
@@introvertedmadness Ayyyo oh noooo, sorry I’m now responding. Midterms and I aren’t best friends as of right now :( Good to hear back from you tho!!!
Np :)) Haha I get that!! It’s like you’re familiar with a location and experiencing/observing what’s happening there on a day to day basis, so you feel much more confident with your input on somewhere or something + the input is more likely to valid then, esp if roasting is involved. I will look forward to your future moves and your roasts then!!
Oh wait, well, while you sit in NYC, have you ever considered local stand up comedy?? I feel like that would be a great way to pass time and get some chuckles in as the next location of roasting awaits for you. You seem v suited for stand up comedy

bro is speaking facts
if you hear spanish music or "bomboclaat" while you're ordering you're about to eat prob one of the best meals in your life and for cheap too
As an International transplant, who has been living in NYC for a decade and went to NYU, I can say with full confidence, this is one of the if not the most accurate video on NYC.
Its so accurate, that I have a huge urge to share it (which I’ll do) even though I rarely share any YT videos
Well done my guy 🔥
Holy shit I’ve lived in New York my entire life and the ending actually has me tearing up, I fucking love NY
the china town bits always got me good, especially the grocery store one, Because shit..... whenever in doubt you need to cut grocery cost's Chinese grocery markets/stores will save a hell of a lot of money. Moral of the story if there are a bunch of old Asian people walking into a grocery store that looks like a small bodega but then inside becomes a whole humongous super market then always follow them kids because you will save a shit ton of money.
Born & raised in NYC and I must say this is accurate 🤦🏻♀️ I still can’t get enough
A giant mental hospital.
NYC is my favorite city. We visit at least thrice a year to see family there. This video bought a tear to my eye. Great job man!
I don't know how you view the growth of this channel, if you're chill with it going at its own pace and just want to make content or if you're disappointed with its slow growth. I want to offer you reassurance that all legitimately good 500k+ creators go through at least a few years of making 500k subscriber worthy content before eventually taking off and reaching such a number in a short month of so.
Please keep at it. I hope you're not too demotivated by results but I seriously think this is the best "stand up"-esc content on TH-cam and I know that you will be recognised eventually. Keep at it man!
aye this was very nice, i appreciate it dawg :) im very grateful to just be making videos and it’s super fun for me, so we ain’t slowing down anytime soon 😎 thank u again for the support dude, have an awesome rest of ur day
I agree, your 1 million subscriber burst will come soon. Keep pumping out these vids
Such an accurate representation of NYC as a whole.
As a Torontonian who visited NYC twice last year, my god, your subway is terrifying but it kicks our subway's ass. I was honestly surprised how dependable and clean it was. Not to mention just how large it is, we get like two tiny lines and we're fighting for our lives LOL
as much as i hate on the nyc subway, i can't deny it's very good at getting people from point A to point B, especially compared to other cities, IF (big if) you can survive the craziness down there
shoutout toronto, if nyc subways are clean compared to toronto, i don't even wanna know what's going on there lmao
@@introvertedmadness Oh god it's been straight up murders, pushing people onto the tracks, people being set on fire, sexual assaults, etc. They got more police presence but it doesn't even compare to the amount of cops i saw on NYC platforms!
But compared to most cities in Europe or Asia NYC's subway is a dump. How bad can Toronto's be?
@@3xsxs953 Way smaller, lots of shutdowns, expensive metropass, crowded, rampant violence, little to no police presence lol
"Head over to Chinatown for affordable lifestyle."
Plot-Twist: When this channel with 40K college-grad subscribers single-handedly gentrifies chinatown.

Man I just moved to SF from NYC and your two videos on the areas has me laughing and crying at the same time.
As someone who is looking to go to college in New York, this video felt like an actual rundown of the city instead of just talking about Manhattan. Pretty cool video dude
oh i just love your videos, reminding me of 2007 youtube with 2023 problems. take care bro can't wait to see what else you put out!
That ring of gentrification is like actually spot on 😭 1:11
I am a new yoker in the midwest right now, and them people asked me how NY is, so I showed your video. dude speaks the unholy truth.
This is an amazing love letter to NYC. Thank you sir.
As a born and raised native new yorker, this is the most accurate video ive seen and i love the attention to detail to the weirdness
There was a comedian I saw one time (who's name I sadly forget, I'll edit if I remember) but he had a bit about how bizarre New York can often be.
In it he explains how he went to Portland, and all the people were always talking about "keep Portland weird," but his experience there was just a bunch of normal people going to work. And when he would ask, 'where's the weird?' The response was always just 'oh its around,' but it wasn't around. There was zero weird.
Then he comes to New York to do a show and on his first night, while he's riding the subway to his hotel, he sees a guy with the top half of a SpongeBob costume but no pants beating up another guy, while the guy getting beat up continually exclaims 'no spongebill no!' That's the real life weird we all are looking for.
almost every video i saw about nyc really scared me because there were a lot of bitterness and as someone planning on moving there it kinda made me have second thoughts for a moment this is such a nice change lol
WOW ... your comedy delivery is refreshing ... do more like this one.... exceptional piece.
Its videos like like these that make me a proud new yorker, its the strangest city in the universe but I wouldnt choose to be from anywhere else. When NYC goes thru some shit, we go thru it TOGETHER.... its a time to be alive and i am so here for it. Several times i saw shots from near my house and I felt so seen
lfg, we really do be in this shit together. i tried to use as many shots that aren’t just your typical Manhattan glamor shots cuz the rest of us exist too!!! thanks for watching and hope I have a magical fantastic rest of ur day
@@introvertedmadness you did an incredible job 😭😭 You have gained a new subscriber and I am here for more of the NYC slander/praise content 🙏
I rewatch this video every couple months and it’s become one of my favorites of all time. Gets me through finals in nyc
still funny af and happy to rewatch it again 😂
let’s gooooooooo
You are such a gem. I don't think I've laughed this hard at a video in a long time 😭
I am splitting my sides watching this video, and yes, I attended NYU for grad school. Thank you so much for this realistic, yet good natured review. I lived in NYC for 29 years and am now back in Texas, in America’s 4th most populous city. It’s like living in Costco. Again, thanks for the laughs.
thank u for the kind words and Costco as a city sounds…interesting but not that bad? hopefully that means you guys have lots of cheap hot dogs lol. hope you’re enjoying life in texas and have an excellent rest of ur day :))
ohhh are you possibly referring to dallas? Cause I have lived here all my 20 years, and I am constantly thinking about where to go after. I think it's only natural I want to see the world outside of my home state; I have pretty much only spent time in Florida, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Massachusetts. I went on a school trip to Quebec, Canada in high school, but other than that, I haven't seen much of the world. The DFW area is gigantic, but it takes so damn long to get anywhere that is anywhere, unless of course you live smack-dab in the middle of the city. I don't get out too often other than for work and school, so I haven't had much of a chance to enjoy DFW to its fullest extent, even though I have lived here my whole life. Maybe one day...
East coast people
I JUST moved to New York City and for the first time in my entire life I’ve been and lived in this city… wow.

Wouldn't last

@@chaseonyourcase Sydney weather still fine
This man needs to be mayor
your channel format is genius. looking forward to dabbling your vids
lived here 20 years laughing out loud 100% agree with everything spot on!!! amazing summary of life here
I lived Harlem for almost a year, Bay Ridge for two years and Ditmas Park for two years. I sublet in Red Hook for my first few months while looking for a more permanent living situation. And finally I also spent a few weeks in Crown Heights (near the Chabad HQ) while moving from Bay Ridge to Ditmas Park. I loved how all of these neighborhoods had completely different vibes. Although I worked a pretty low paid customer service job in Midtown, I had such an adventurous time living and exploring different parts of NYC. And you're right that there's basically something to do for anyone. (You're also right about the state of the trains. The R train might be the worst train in the whole MTA system. So much so that it was the last train line they repaired after Hurricane Sandy.)
You could reupload this masterpiece several times and I would still watch it every time
this is the best youtube video ever made and the adidas slides is the cherry on top
I saw this on Tumblr months ago and I am rewatching it again because of how much I love it. Also, I live in Manhattan, and he is so correct on so many levels.
look mom im on tumblr!!!! also thanks for watching i hope u have a spectacular rest of ur day :)
This is the most accurate depiction of new york I have seen online. Bravo!
NYC story time: my family and I went to visit NYC to see School of Rock on Broadway years ago. I always hated NYC…just because I never had a good time there. I had been eating poorly for about 3 days beforehand dealing with a breakup and was very…VERY constipated. Enough where I was in pretty serious discomfort anytime I was sitting. After a Bieber Bus ride to NYC, walking around all day and night, sitting through the musical, and drinking tons of coffee….things were in motion. It was around this time that I realized…oh GOD there are no public restrooms. I ended up moving at a rapid shuffle/power walk 6 blocks to find a McDonald’s where the bathroom was downstairs of the eating area….shoulder checked a kid out of the way for the stall, and proceeded to expel demons from me while listening to people upstairs getting into a fist fight about some miscommunication over their food order. 10/10 I go back every year with friends.
Gosh, new york either makes you hate it one day and love it the next. I was born in the Bronx and moved away but I always find my way back and then right back out lol. Recently went to visit and it was definitely different in a lot of areas. Funny enough china town was definitely on my list to visit. Also, there is literally always something happening every day in new york randomly. One place I always avoid is time square. I wish people would venture out more there are just so many cute little stores and places to eat and you really get a feel for new york.
yeah whenever I see tourists come here and all they post about is Times Square im like ???? you guys know Times Square is literally the worst part of nyc right??? like get out there and explore the city lol. anyway thanks for sharing ur thoughts homie and watching the vid, hope u have a ballin rest of ur day :)
Heavy on the 99 cent store!!! You are dropping real New Yorker jewels on your viewers! Born and raised local approved!! 🙋🏽♀️ Hello from (still kinda) un-gentrified section of Brooklyn! Lol
Absolutely love the accuracy of this video lmao thank you for the transparency because NYC can be overrated af.
I knew I recognized this video a couple minutes in. Still love it. Despite all the problems NYC seems like such a vibrant and interesting place if you know how to handle it
Bruhhhh I cannot believe yt did that to you this is literally one of my fav videos 😢 rewatching while I eat my sad uni ramen
shin ramyun got me through some dark nights
Bro, you've got some fantastic stuff, I think I just binged through 1/3 of your videos over the last day or two lmao. Your work and the kind of channel you have kind of inspired me and I was just wondering how you go about writing the scripts/layouts for your videos, I'd love to hear what you have to say on it. Keep up the great work!
This was so funny! Have been to the city a few times, but never spent an extended period. Thanks for the insights into living there!
S/o the real New Yorkers made my short stay they amazing:) I forget if I commented this in your first upload but this video makes me miss that city so much
When he mentioned the Mc Donald’s at the Delancey street, I knew right away this was a video worth watching lol
I've been watching your back catalogue of videos and I've been loving it. I can relate to so much of your content and your comedy is hilarious. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
big W, I really appreciate that dawg. thanks for watching and enjoying everything, hope u have an awesome rest of your day :)
Wow, this is the best effing critique of NYC ever! You're hilarious. Keep it up! Signed, Uncool Part of Brooklyn.
I moved from San Francisco and have always heard SF smells bad, but WOW I never imagined a worse smelling city than NYC. It makes SF smell like a rose garden!
10:48 “If you see something, fuck that shit”. Best quote ever

wasn't born here but moved to nyc when i was 5, grew up here and honestly despite the long list of downsides i never want to leave
Yea similar situation for me. But I want to move to other places and see what they're like.
Most accurate video of NYC I've seen so far! Great work!
3:40 is fried dumpling at mosco street. very good place
dumpling lady does not take a day off
grew up in Queens and living in Tampa Bay and this video made me miss NYC so much 🥲🤣😭never a dull moment there
Moving to NYC in May, thank you for this tutorial😩
Your fucked.

thank u for this masterpiece
This is A MUST WATCH video before you go to NY !!! Bro got everything ppl need to know 🤣🙏
I love your content!
thanks homie :) have a fantastic super spectacular rest of your day
I grew up in Mountain View and moved to the SF as soon as I could. Watching your Surviving the Bay Area video was so relatable because it was all the reasons I wanted to gtfo the Peninsula & South Bay (though your video didn't quite apply to North or East Bay, but happy you didn't drag SF into it :)).
I'm now an NYU graduate student and am seeing how accurate this one is too!
Keep up the good work! Loving all the vids
love your content, please make more vids about nyc for me to prepare before I get there :D
I usually don't lol when watching comedy but this 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 you got me
Fact: we don't search for this. TH-cam searched for us
Relate so much to this, especially the Halal cart prices 💀. I know inflation is bad but not more than a 60% increase from $5 to $8. Still no subway between the Bronx and Queens still kills me
this was art. a candid masterpiece.
This is the most real nyc video 😂
I barely leave my own neighborhood anymore because I’m extremely lucky to live 5 minute walk away from work. But every single time I go into the city to have fun or hang out with friends, I see some random shit that I’ve never seen before in my entire life
This video should be perserved by the Library of Congress
Best nyc vid certified. I feel so comfortable watching this.
7:23 Im from suburban NC where i can’t even leave my neighborhood without a car 😮💨 we do not have the leg muscles for that
I am a New Yorker (Born & raised) and I approve this message😂🙌🏾👍🏾👏🏾🎉
100% straight facts Deadass lol
This is the most accurate vid I’ve ever seen, bring back the $5 lamb over rice 😔
Great guy great video, you represent the most perfect image and attitude of NYC, got a big new fan here. I grew up in Queens and worked for a while in downtown Manhattan, it was a little too much for me and moved out, but those years were the most exciting I had. Glad you are enjoying your life there.
Things I hate about living here is that since I live in the Bronx, to have any remotely fun I need to go far into Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn to meet up with friends. So I have to think it twice before I try to go out and have fun.
3:12 is the most relatable thing I've heard in an NYC video in a while hahaha. Fancy restaurant? Smh. I want to eat a place that has been open for 47 years serving the same four menu items, has 3 old men smoking outside of it, and an absolute grouch of an owner taking orders.
I was born and raised here so im extremely biased but i can literally go anywhere in the city by myself without getting lost and i really like it here
Bro we need another video on NYC, the city is literally on fire. Your videos are awesome man
