Thank you! I was born in NYC in 1944 and left for other parts of the world in 1974. Thank you for bringing me back to many youthful memories and bringing me up-to-date about these places. Very best wishes to you, young lady.
My gramp,and I brought you Christmas trees and produce
My dog and I live on E. 88th St. and we’re so glad to be in walking distance of Randall’s Island. We take walks along the river, cross the footbridge, then my dog goes for a swim then runs around in the woods. I’m so glad he can experience nature even though he’s a city dog.
Ditto. My frenchie and I frequently walk from E. 88th Street (between 1st and York) over the 103rd Street bridge via Gracie Mansion and Carl Shurz park. Sometimes the geese chase us away from their young while on Randall's. Cheers.
Fortunati, tu ed il tuo cane 🌁🌳🌳
One Island that is somewhere between popular and known just to New Yorkers is Broad Channel. Which is part of queens and sits in Jamaica bay. It is home to about three thousand People.
Love City Island ❤️
Lawson One me too 💕💕
So do I, went there when I came over from England about ten years ago. Also wanted to look across to Hart Island.
There’s a book, The Other Islands of New York City, but I can’t remember the name of the author at the moment.
"We think of Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Manhatten, and of course Stat..." let me stop you right there chief.
"and of course" hahahahaha funniest thing ever
many New Yorkers are confused and tell your going to a Mets game on Long Island
LMAO
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@tomb4575 Technically, Queens IS on the island known as Long lsland.
Roosevelt Island is amazing. And Riker’s gives toilet paper to the visitors to wipe the tears of visitor’s sorrows. Says volumes of the energy there. Again, girl you rock your info, and this channel has got to take off.
Lady you are giving up all of our secrets. Shhhhhh.... Let people think that New York City is only Manhattan and that The Bronx is like Vyse Ave in 1976. North Brother and South Brother. Shhh.😊😊😊
Those aren't secrets
Thats a dumb thing to say. Sincerely
I love how you even let people know how to get to the islands.
What a great video! Lots of new info for a born New Yorker. I would put City Island as #1.
TFS love 👀 seeing the 📹 of THE NEW YORK ISLANDS.
Another awesome video. Its crazy how places change within as little as a decade and a half. Roosevelt Island is pretty popular now. I remember when I went to high school and I told people I went to middle school on Roosevelt Island, they had no clue where it was. That was almost 20 years ago. Grandpa from "The Munsters" lived there. It was a small community where you knew almost everyone and now its overcrowded and expensive.
I grew up there from 1976-2001.
@@ericsoto1891 i was there 94-2007. Did you go to 217?
@@lovejones0686 I sure did. My mom passed away 2 years ago, but my grandma still lives there. I still go there every Friday to visit. It's grown a lot.
@@ericbriansoto7365 I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My brother visits once in awhile and he tells me how much it changed. The last time I was over there was 2010 because my daughter played soccer for the youth center. I graduated 217 in 2000.
Back in 1996 I was gonna smack the shit outta "Grandpa" for trying to kick it to my 14 year old cousin while we were visiting a friend who lived in the building right across the street from the diner.
Damn, I Love New York!
So do I. No place better. So great they had to name it twice.
I was just thinking about when you were going to post another video!
Wow I've lived in Brooklyn my entire life and I've been missing on city island. Can't wait to go now after this quarantine 😍
How u never knew about city island 🤦🏾♀️ your much older than Iam 🙄
@@summerrain2876 cus I unfortunately never really went out. 👍
@@KerenGrinberg u better get to going out girl
@Zeeqtee Prn 🤣🤣🤣 yuppp that's me
@Zeeqtee Prn that's really great! As a kid growing up, I was held on a leash until I turned 18 so I can't relate.
Thank you very much for this very inspirational and informative video !
Love it , what an amazing city🍎
I LOVE CITY ISLAND!!!😘💕💕
Enjoyed this! Used to frequently travel to NYC on business. Appreciate the information! 🗽
I came across this channel as a recommendation. Fantastic video with a sprinkling of salty NYC humor. Keep it up.
Excellent. Thanks!
Great vid! Very informative.
Enjoyed this video
Very informative
I love your videos. I lived in Manhattan for almost 40 years and yet never knew about many of the sites you highlight, so thank you.
I always enjoy your vids! I love NY 😍. Dc born and raised. Thanks again.
All of these islands are perfect for day trips
Except Rikers
The thing is some people like it so much they keep going back
Fort Jay and Castle William on Governors Island are pretty to see while riding the Staten Island ferry.
Who knew? Thank you for a very educational video. I enjoyed it very much!
The Best videos. Thanks narrator
I learn a lot from this vlog. I’ve been living in New York for 40 years now but because of family and work I’ve only explored and been to just a few places. Maybe because I don’t know some. Thank you for educating me. I’ll be watching more of your vlogs.
Very unique and interesting video !!! !🗽
City Island is the best for seafood and it is quite beautiful as well.
Riding the tram to Rosevelt island is the absolute best :D
Great video 👌
New York City and the state is such an amazing place.
The islands are always fascinating.
I always wondered why it's called Coney Island. Great video... Thanks!!!
Gabriel Beach When the Dutch first landed there, its native inhabits were Coneys, or the dutch word for rabbits.
@@kurtbrigandi Thanks for sharing the knowledge, I had no idea!
The Hammock grove is soo great.
Used to live right in front of Randall island. Walked there all of the time.
Well done
i bean to both islands else and liberty islands i toke the ferry from battery park when you leave the ferry dock you see the most beautiful city skyline omg amazing experience
The easiest way to get to Rikers Island is to do business with Giuliani.
Hamilton's NY / STX , 😆 Lol
Maybe his fat, red headed buddy will be there some day.
New York City is amazing!❤️
Good video . is there a boat tour of east river smaller islsnds plus north and south brother island ? I drive by them on highway but cant find boat tour to learn about them
2 noteable facts about Randalls/Wards Island:
#1 - The FDNY has a training facility at the northeast part.
#2 - NYC has a cluster of homeless shelters at the southern part.
Che fascino!
I love NY and I miss it!
I always saw those cart things in the summer time, would be nice to smoke some hemp up there
Nice
Randall’s Island also have lots of soccer pitches ie World Cup
No one Visits Rikers Island by choice 😂😂
Undisputible point sir!
Or Hart Island for that matter
Is that what you tell your wife every night
Exactly!😂🤣😃 good one👍
@ Marcos T. Fermin: what's on Hart Island?
I'm originally from Albany and as many times as i've been to N.Y.C. i've never been to the Statue Of Liberty. I used to have an Aunt and Uncle who lived on Staten Island. Ever since i was a kid i always wanted to live on my own island. Maybe some day.
Great
This was fantastic. Your presentations are very well researched and it's clear you love your job. I have read of several islands that are off-limits to most people, or you can go with a ô8⅞7. Are there also islands that are refugees and migrationoing places for Birds migrating seasonally?
Thank you for the interesting video. Wasn't there a privately owned island in Long Island Sound
owned by a Nudist Resort? I believe it was off the coast of New Rochelle and may have been called
Whortleberry Island or Huckleberry Island.
The lights for icahn stadium on randalls island came from ebbits field, abd fdny fire academy is there.
This is such great information. Thank you. I appreciate your work.
ALL NYC, I find myself being as equally inquisitive about you as the presentations you post about 😂🤣😂🤣!!! How about a post about you?!?!?! I’d love to have some Starbucks with you when I come to NY🤗 (far stretch I know)!!!
Hmmm.... Bold are we?😉
I know the meet and greet is a far stretch, but the post about you is more reasonable, right 🤔? Does anyone else concur?!?!
@@Tabby.cat2 I appreciate your curiosity. Though life is a lot more fun when there’s a flavor of mystery, I promise to do an about me video when the channel reaches 100k subs.
ALL NYC, fair enough. Thanks!
I lived on Governors Island from 1979-81. It was a great place to be a little kid
Best clams I've ever had was City Island. The place all the way south.
fire island
NYC... Mother of all cities.
My maternal grandparents came through Ellis island in 1914.
More places to visit.
CITY ISLAND!!!
Somehow I wasn’t surprised about Coney Island. It was once a upscale resort area for the ultra rich at the turn of the century, somewhat like what the Hamptons are today.
It wasn’t just for the “ultra rich” Lmao. It was visited by millions of people a year as a tourist destination.
Roosevelt island is funny ... main St... heck there virtually is no other street.. went there with Irv to deliver a car for a movie shoot
Shout out to this chick for keeping it all the way real wit RIKERS ISLAND!!! Ya won't be smiling on RIKERS ISLAND!!!
I want to live in one of those islands
Been to all with Maine Christmas trees and produce
That Randall’s island bridge lifts up around 5 pm and no way to cross over that bridge you”ll stuck and have to walk to 125 st very far to get back over to the other side of the FDR.
Yeah facts why havent they put more development on roosevelt island I've always wondered that it's kinda just there
Yes, there’s so much potential here.
Great informative video. There are still 2 bridges that cross into Coney Island. The Cropsey Ave and Stilwell Ave bridges.
Make sure to visit Rikers Island folks.
Very nice didnt know this. I live in NY for 22 years
My grandma worked on Governor’s island many moons ago.😉
Small Correction at 8:50; Save Ellis Island is the nonprofit organization that runs the tours of the abandon hospitals. Tickets can be purchased through Statue Cruise.
Please check out our website: saveellisisland.org/
You mention "Coney Island" and the first thing that comes to mind is The Warriors.
Rikers?!? I would stay away from there, as I hear the accommodations are lousy. Why not Broad Channel instead? That is a nice place, with a bird sanctuary as well.
on my way to rikers now
Hey, cant you still take the trolley into roosevelt island? She forgot about that. The trolley is such a great way to travel there too.
She didnt forget. Watch the video again. She clearly states that.
🗽🍎 It's called a Tramway .
@@ericsoto1891 k....thanks
When I was a child, Randall's Island was nothing more than a park. My school used to have field day in Randall's Island way back in the 1950's
My sister used to work on Rykers Island. In the 1990s she was a therapist for the woman's ward. She said that most of the women there didn't belong there because they were heavily under the influence of violent men.
Not a bad documentary
Nice video!!
Listen don't leave stupid. Remark
What about Broad Channel or is that considered a Big Island?
Missed that one! Thanks for including it.
I wanted to visit Roosevelt Island, I put $20 to buy tickets for the Tram and lost it, too bad.
What about Hart Island?
so where did all the bodies from Randall's island go...did they just cement over or transfer them to Hart island where the current indigent are burried
There’s probably more ferries in New York than their are subways
My dad was born in Rockville Center. Is the a Hall of Records building in Nasseu County? So I can get his birth certificate.
The city departments will only give you a photostatic copy. My husband needed his long form about 20 years ago to be able to teach in NJ. I went thru hell to get it. I finally contacted the right person in Albany. She was acting like she was asking for my first born child telling me I'd have to pay a whold $25. It was ridiculous but I got it. I don't know if they've made it easier but don't use the 800 number because they'll just direct you to where you can get the photostat. Find the local number in Albany for the Bureau of Vital Statistics for the State of NY if you need the long form and talk to a real person and yes, there will be more info on it.
Coney Island is geographically part of Long Island so yes technically it is an island
Excuse me but what happened to the graves you know where people are buried on randalls island
The graves were located at the very southern tip where we now have the soccer fields. It’s unclear if the remains were moved to Hart Island (see upcoming video) or if they are still there. The city is known to pave over old burial grounds.
I"ll stick with the South Pacific belt region.
Is City Island still mostly a first??second rate place to live?? Beyond its' eateries??
Aside from the traffic, I think it's nice. Have a few friends who live there.
@@valeriecarrington2788 Cool! Stay Safe!
I usually summer on U Thant Island.
Ha ha. Better do it quick. With rising sea levels it won't exist for very much longer. Sad.
James Stark Sadly so. I’ll call my travel agent today.
Roosevelt Island formerly known as Welfare Island, home of The New York Insane Asylum how is that for some Non P.C.
Nyc is too expensive I love my home state and my borough of Queens but dayum I left it’s too costly to live and they need to put a cap on the sky rocketing rent prices
Awesome. Can I react to your videos please?
Sure. I don’t mind some constructive criticism.
ALL NYC cool. I’ll do some videos this week. NYC for life and NEW subscriber here
Hey tourist check out Rikers 😈 its to die for
