Hello tom thank you for informing me of vinegar hill brooklyn, I was raised by navy yard in farragut and I moved in 1988 but would visit often but that name didn't ring a bell but use to go to the school 307 where you show footage. I'm glad you showed people gentrification of area
@@tomdnyc1 Thanks for staying true to your channel's format and not sensationalizing things in order to chase subscribers, like some NYC TH-camrs. It is noticed and appreciated.
Love it! Brooklyn has alot of history , part of my growing up yrs were there, around far rockaway in the 70s, thx for the education, wish I could get a coffee with you. ❤
Hey Tom, So I stumbled upon your videos while researching an upcoming trip for my little family. I am visually disabled and watch as many videos of an area as I can to get a sense of the place and feel as independent as possible. I will say that I am not a big city guy at all, but I wanted to bring my family to NY to get a sense of what it is like. Your video has me really excited to visit. Something I thought I would ever say or feel. What a gift you are to have that kind of impact. THANK YOU !!! Keep up the wonderful work and much love to you
Another cute Tabby kitty peering out the window:-) Interesting history lesson. "This neighborhood kind of fell into disrepair." 15:16 I've seen worse art exhibitions in some of the galleries in Manhattan. lol As always, I enjoyed the show:-) 🧚✨💫
Oh wow Tom thanks for doing vinegar Hill one of my favorite neighborhoods. Yes it’s small but it’s still a great neighborhood.. I go to vinegar Hill all the time to go to area 53 and do indoor paintball battles. Or go laser tag. I love that place..
Hey, any filthy..or even dusty rich people reading the comments out there? Please sponsor this silly man on some history trips to some other cities around the globe.
As someone who loves New York {from afar here in Australia} I had no idea that Vinegar Hill exists there and LOVED the friends reference there} this was informative and hilarious love this@!!!
Thank you, I appreciate your work. You educate and inform your audience - happy to learn! I hope your camera is good because I noticed water on the lens.
Live in BK Heights (our landlords are big Tulane folks and I recall you poking fun at their flags out in front on one of your live streams a while back) and am stoked you did VH! Thanks for all the fun history!
Solid one Tom. Idea: Start a Spanish channel with the same tours, doubling or more your viewer base with the same content. ( If you haven't done so already. ) You can even include the quips "No se que decirles cheles?" and "Dale pues, vamos!" and even "Eres hijo de un arma.".
Great Video! Just a few notes. John Jackson bought the land from the Sands Brothers. The Sands Brothers originally planned on calling the area Olympia, but the land around the Bay was a marsh and they didn't think the land that Vinegar Hill is on was worth much. They thought Jackson was a chump they could unload the land to, and he ended up making a ton of money by selling the bay area to the Navy for a shipyard. He called the area Vinegar Hill to attract Irish immigrants, who were shipbuilders, who then bought homes and now had jobs. Jackson was a genius. You can find a lot of hidden history and stories about Vinegar Hill, online, at the Brooklyn Daily Eagle archive.
Well, god help me, from 1997-1999 I lived over here on Concord St., between Duffield and Gold or whatever it is. Just down from Tillary St. When I was living here, sharing a stupid three level apt. duplex building with other roomies for super cheap rent (but major aggravation!). We had a constant turnover of nuts and wackjobs, or some, anyway. There was nearly no good food over here at the time, and Dumbo wasn't even really Dumbo yet. I had to hike it to Brooklyn Heights and Henry St. to go food shopping at a real supermarket, and I would spend a lot of time at the Cadman Plaza diner. WE had a dodgy McDonalds that was on Tillary St. but is now long gone, I think now it's part of a hotel, and.or a storage co. I had a weird Asian huge hardware store across from my building, which came in handy at times. Now i hear they've renovated most of the apt. buildings over there, and Concord St., and the buildings are now worth millions instead of a lowly $245,000 etc. Incredible. The only good thing was that it was only a 15 min. walk to most subways and the buses at Cadman Plaza. And Brooklyn Heights. I did finally get a good PC and had dial up Internet (LOL) for a few years over there. Plus a fabulous tiny Magnavox TV with a shitty VHS, and a free Brooklyn Cable TV hookup, provided by my wonderful slumlord! LOL I would have killed to have a Wegmans over there when I lived here, it would have been all of a 10 minute walk from home. The Navy Yard didn't really have anything to offer back then, either, unlike these days.
Lotta info just for one viewing. *Muuuy bien* Yea, gentrification, let's face it you'll need to be at least a millionaire to afford to live in NYC, Manhattan anyway. But seriously, howzabout during the spring thaw going back to Wallabout Bay for the emerging floaters popping up ? You can explain how methane gas makes things buoyant or not. Then again, Tom on the Rocks kinda covers that so ... Cash Jorden reviewing your apartment ? Cash: "Noticed your bed is made of books on New York City. Tom: "Well, I am a tour guide." Screenshot of both of you smiling at the camera. Fade out
The best tour guide of NYC. No one even comes close period.👍👏♥️😊 Thanks Tom
If he's the best tour guide!! Ask him what was the name before vinegar hill??
Love this lil hood and its secret mansion! Perfect for a historic tour à la Tom.

Thanks a lot - that's very nice and good luck on your trip. Feel free to reach out through IG or something!
@@tomdnyc1 Thank you
Could this video BE any more fun? Way to light up a forgotten corner of Brooklyn on such a dreary day.

One more coffee and the entire show could have blown up :). Nice "hidden" places, bravo!

Hahaha, nice! I don't know if that's my demo, but thanks!
@@tomdnyc1 I would just be satisfied with cities on the East Coast!
I wish that I were even slightly dusty rich.
Yea, let's send him to Haiti with dollar bills glued to his body !!!!😮..........................Erik
I adore you, Tom. In a good grandmother's way.
Thanks, grandma!
Nice video. A little trivia.... Al Capone was born in Vinegar Hill...

😊A lot of fun jokes in this one.
we need cash jordan to tour that residence.
I would have loved to have heard about all those old store fronts that are now empty and I think they are residents now but look like old stores.
History And Comedy 😃 My 2 Favorite Subjects. Great Camera Work.❤😊

hey at least there is a Wegman's Supermarket there!!!
Which subway takes you there?
You ever gonna do Staten Island 😂
Yes!
@tomdnyc1 are you going to do Brownsville?
What a sour video! Just kidding, it was another sweet tour of your NYC! Kudos!
Tom, watch out for that ghost orb... at 4:34
Tom did you fired Eric haven't herd his voice behind the camera in ages.....
I'm from Rochester, NY (where Wegmans is from), and yes, we're pretty devoted, but I have never heard of a "Wegmaniac." 🤣
You do know the actor Matthew Perry passed away not so long ago?
If I took notes on all your videos I think I could get an honorary degree at Harvard
I always just thought that was all DUMBO
Hi
