I enjoyed this Kip Bay neighborhood tour.
Always look for your historical and entertaining videos Tom...it makes my day. Thanks 👍👌👏😊♥️💯🇺🇸
Hey Tom - you had me at "i believe the children are our future ..." 😄 Thanks for that!! and all the history too
About 5 years ago, I read a story about an elderly woman who died in Greenwich Viilage. She had moved to NYC in 1955 to be an actress.
To save money, she lived in an apartment with 3 other young women. I think her share of the rent was $4 a month. Over the years, the other women moved out, but she stayed in the apartment. When she died, 63 years later,her rent was $28.43 a month.
Crazy (and awesome) that NYC still has trees that are turning colors and haven’t dropped all their leaves yet!
The northeast actually gets 4 seasons. The Midwest on the other hand well…
I’m in kips bay💃 glad you are in my neighborhood❤️ hey Kips Bay Towers is not city housing it’s private condos. We are a wonderful community of people. You should have seen our private garden! People come to see our beautiful garden. What about the ferry and the walk along the water. Dog park. Tell the Nyu hospital history too.
New subscriber here. I discovered your channel last night, subscribed, and left it on while I slept.
Needless to say, it was like astral projection as I dreamed I was being rowed in Central Park Pond in the spring.
I’m still watching this morning as I work from home waaaay over here in Sacramento.
Thanks for that and for doing what you do. 💗
The I.M. Pei-designed Kips Bay Plaza one of the surviving examples of Brutalist architecture.
Always had this odd dream to go to NYC and live like a bum for a week.
Not like a homeless person... That would be crazy, except you know beard long hair shopping cart i believe theyd let me just be, and id be able to hang out unbothered in some cool places. 15:53
Another awesome eps,learning about my home...
Gotta be one of your best videos! Thanks for the work that went into it
This one brought back so many memories living in the nabe as a young man thirty years ago. I lived at 23 Lex former Martha Wash hotel which were like micro studios, which went for $500 a month. Ooh boy! I remember walking up Curry Hill but I didn't eat indian food at the time. Also used to go to a Baskin Robbins at the end of 23rd &1st. It's a great, quiet section but now it's too expensive!
I attended school in that area in the 70s.
Wow born and raised in New York and I never heard of this neighborhood. I always thought Gramercy ended at 34th St.😂
Somehow I still want to live in NYC and risk it all despite the "harsh" reputation
The reputation you are likely referring to is something that has not been the case for about three decades now. New York City has crime rates far lower than pretty much any other U.S. city you can name. On top of that, the whole world is here---people, theater, activities, restaurants, music and dance, history, gorgeous parks, museums, and a WALKING city where you actually see people who are not in their cars. Give it a try! I've been here my entire life, am 61, have traveled extensively, and will never leave. It's the best place on earth!
It takes a certain person to do it and handle it. Be prepared to spend a LOT of money every month!!!!
@@ValerieBottenuscrime isn’t what makes it harsh. It’s the high cost of living and constant grind that is required to live here.
Just be prepared to pay 3-5 k a month for a modest place.😮
Harsh thing is it’s expensive
Thank you for another great video! It looks like a beautiful fall scene where you were. Sad, up here in Rochester, we had those colors a little over a month ago 😢. Now the trees are bare. I love learning the history with you! 😊
Yaaayy new Tomdnyc video ❤❤❤ Thank you Tom.
You did a great job with the tour! I enjoy watching your videos and was especially excited to see one covering my neighborhood. I liked how you included a stop showing the housing projects around Bellevue South Park and didn't just stop at Kips Bay Plaza. Urban renewal projects played a major role in the history of Kips Bay and practically affected all of the blocks between 1st and 2nd Aves. from 23rd to 33rd Sts, except for a row of townhouses that remain on the south side of 30th Street.
Great piece! Loved that dig at Monsanto.
Great vid, Tom. I recently moved out of Kip’s Bay after living there for 25 years and even though I’m a history buff, I knew little of the history discussed.
I can’t wait to enlighten my old neighbors next time we get together.
So happy you did this! I’m from the UES My parents are from Kips Bay and I’ve always loved the neighborhood. Love your videos bro
by the way, cool facts - the taxi on that statue of that Dalmatian is actually a real car! 25:36
and it's in front of the Hassenfeld Children's Hospital which is named for the family who started the Hasbro toy company
Thumbs up for saying CUNY needs more funding...100%
18:51 I literally had the same expression when I saw the Will Smith photo in the window 🤣🤣🤣
Tom, hey! What's up? Another sick tour as always!!!
Proud graduate of Baruch College, also known to us as UCLA or “university on the corner of Lexington Ave”, as is my wife my sister and many friends, all children of immigrants, who have prospered in this great city. For very little money, received a great education in business, and while underwhelming as a “college experience” I don’t regret it when working with folks with 120k in debt and degrees in “nuthin much” ha ha..NYC Forever!
😊
i think you said it all ... to solve the housing problem "just build more luxury housing!!!
Great video! Keep the information and comedy coming!
Quick Tip: when you’re cold, zipper up your jacket! Resolved!
I live right near here! It really is a pretty neighborhood!
Damn it Tom, did you not learn anything from smelling the flowers last time (drinking from the spraying hydrant)?
Hey Tom, I have an idea: RUN FOR MAYOR!! I'll vote for you, the revolutionary, up-n-comer who really knows his way inside and around this gran manzana!
WOW ! Loved it*** & all the pigeons were delightful especially at 6 :15 those three crossing behind you 😊😊😊
Alright, Tom! Just admit it, you like shitty weather. It's not your first video like that XD
Thank you Tom, try to stay warm. 🕺🏻🐕
p.s.
3:06 cool actual postcard sold by the Lenapes to the Dutchies
16:55 why you no go inside buildings ? Adds a new dimension other than standing outside in the cold
Suggestion: ran across the archival article "Blight of the Tainted Havemeyer Millions" along with Scott Yunker's "Mystery in the Mansion" (2019) about the ghost of Lillie Havemeyer Mayer. Might be of interest if not done already ... I mean, tainted blight, com'n, viewers luuuv tainted blight then, again, not from Queens had normal parents don't see it.
Be the first or one of the few to tour the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) with it's strange facade of stone layered between two sheets of glass and innovative interior stage design. You're an actor.
I've been there but had no idea it was called Kips Bay!
Thank you, Tom, loved your new vid. Always enjoying it ❤
Tom, put on some gloves and zip up your coat!!
Excellent Tom and very interesting history-----------also, time for a SHAVE--Please.
Even the pigeons looked cold but they're so cute! I've never seen a self-cleaning fire hydrant before. It must know that dogs roam the neighborhood:-) I enjoyed the show and tour as usual:-) 🧚♀ "It matters little when one goes." That gives me immense comfort for my eventual demise. lol 🧚♀
Great video as always Tom. Would love to see you do a tour of Fordham University one day! Some of the richest history in all of NYC hidden on our campus. Keep up the great work
Tom singing Whitney Houston is the best
Careful, or I'll just make 25 minutes of that!
@@tomdnyc1Don't threaten us with a good time!
Wilhelm scream within first 30 seconds!
Nice. Someone who recognizes true scream greatness.
Thanks Tom, cool vid 🤙
I love your videos. For some reason the algo decided I didn't want to see this and instead wanted the horrors of war piped to me. ???? Keep up the good work.
I usually go to Kips Bay for the AMC bc theres always seats lol
That's very funny to me because I went there last year and have to take most uncomfortable seat ever right in front of the screen 😂 and never went back there, even though I go to amc at least twice a month but I always go to the one on west 34th street or the one on Broadway near union Square
Been to all 3 many times. My favorite is the Union Square location.
@@jamesstark8316 absolutely 💯
Always enjoy these videos! Love learning about neighborhoods I've lived in!
I'm getting a Jim Jarmusch vibe from this. I'll get my coat
Sorry, my French heirloom always cracks it when I hear CUNY.
Good stuff mate, keep it up!
That is the helicopter that is mainly used by the Governor, although she scaled back her usage after being criticized for using it too much.
IM Pei designed the medical examiner building on 1st Ave opposite Bellevue Hospital. The scaffolding surrounding the building has been up for 14 years for mysterious reasons.
Hiding an unsightly structure?
Woah - just stumbled across this page, you’re a great storyteller!
24:37 TommyD doing his civil duty
Kalustyan's is a great store. FYI, they ship.
come up to Vermont and buy some flannel lined jeans, or carhartts.
Tom, you're the best, Thank YOU and you Camera Crew for making such good videos~
I'm so glad I can visit NYC now, it was a dream living in Hawaii to see NYC, your videos really helped me! *moving my StudiO' to the east coast was the best decision ever!
Yessss!! "Take a taxi!!" 🚕
I laugh, I learn! Thanks, Tom!
Great! I always thought New York Had a rotten core!! Thanks for the grit!!!!
Love your videos! The lip oiling sound effect, had me rolling with laughter.
Siiiiiick...
Really like your videos. My dad grew up in NYC. He passed away, a month ago. I'm trying to learn about all of the places he was associated with there. He lived on W. 148th St, in the 1950's and early 1960's... in an Estonian neighborhood. Does anyone know anything about this location then or now? Maps label it as Sugar Hill. Tom, could you please please please do a tour of this area? Thank you!!
🙏 for your dad...
That is a lovely gesture and tribute to your father.
Tom... You're a comical man. I like that.
Also... Idk if you know, but normally Jackets can be zipped up. Esp when it's, you know, cold? So what's wrong with you man? Close your damn jacket.
Tom we walked through there (Russ and Cathy)
LOL funny guys. Did you just get emotional singing? :)
This was awesome and funny😂❤👍😆😆
14:32 did I just see Tom doing what I think I saw him doing?
The Louve pyramid, blech!
You could quit this Day Job & become a Lounge Singer, its a Joke come on.
Watch all your Videos, Great Job
Yo! Where’s Phil???
hello from Idaho.......
Zip your coat up if you are cold x
Amen Tom we need to build more affordable housing. It’s getting insane!
Love the cat photo.
I live near Kip's Bay Towers. I usually see "Piece of Cake" moving trucks parked in front there, mostly for people moving out.
Not sure why you consider slum clearance is a bad idea?
@@meiko_kaji It's fairly straight forward slums make your property value decrease and luxury condos make your property value increase😁
Ask yourself what people of low income do when they can no longer live there. Where are they supposed to go? Promises of affordable housing are a joke.
@@patirvin-bz9pg they can always get a second job or move to a state that's more affordable
Ok, whoever deleted my previous comment: What is so nefarious about referencing an Asterix comic's (Asterix in Britain) Roman Strategy joke?
Hey, Tom -- nice video. That area was also once known as "Little Friuli" to the many immigrants who came from the Friuli region of Italy in the first half of the 20th century.
Tom,
Just received Edward Rutherford’s New York as a gift today. Thoughts?
fighting 69th deserve an episode... great/terrible movie with cagney pat obrien and alan hale sr, there leader donovan would start the oss/cia. i think its still an active unit
Queen Minnehaha lift here in the early 1800s and she ended up in Buffalo New York
Hi from Malaysia.
With Tom singing " The Greatest" had me cracking up. He is so funny!
if you mention CUNY, don't forget to describe SUNY and PUNY.
I love the interviews with store/business owners. It would be cool if you can do some man on the street interviews too and talk to residents.
Thanks brutha. I'll check it out on my next day trip
My Uncle’s 6th Great-grandfather 😊
You are so right about the taxis in Manhattan!!
Daymmm why are your nails so long
Pause at 0.05
Them there's my guitar playing hand!
Is it me or does anyone else hear running water? Great video as always!
