- I take a ride on the NYC Subway along the N Line from the Canal Street station in Chinatown, Manhattan to the 30th Avenue station in Astoria, Queens. I start off at the 98 Mott Street Food Court and make my way to the station. On the ride, I describe important points of interest along the way and helpful pointers for people using the subway.

Thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
I love it.
@@ActionKid Nice Video
can we just appreciate that he uploads for us every day
yes for sure. ❤
never would have thought a subway ride would be of interest, but this was, really enjoyed it, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Actionkid is always showing us the most beautiful places of New York. Keep up the great work!
That's right! Glad you're enjoying all these beautiful places!
Absolutley 100% i love watching ActionKid💖
100% I love it!
Beautiful? The metro station looks like the dirtiest place one earth 😂! At least compared to what I’m used to in Norway!
You should at least be grateful that NY has a subway system. It is very complex, it helps to ease congestion, you don't have to rely on traffic, and it is one of the few subway systems that is open 24/7. Plus, it is the largest in the whole country with over 470 stations. If NY didn't have a system like this, then there would be crazy traffic jams and there would be more congestion and pollution.
Nice one man! You should do more subway rides. I’ve taken the nyc subway millions of times but still thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
I take the subway almost every day, but usually the same line
Oh the memories. My home stop was 36th Ave. It was nice to see that they renovated those stations, they were much needed.
It was a much needed renovation. However, subway service has been getting progressively worse over the past few months.
You rode a r46 n train
A relaxing and informative video AK. The musician in a subway car was an unexpected but nice surprise.
@@ActionKid Not only musicians, bue showtime dancers.
Stay away from the edge of the platform.
why?
@@Blinkeu_Y0T bc someone will push you especially in manhattan 🙂↔️
Lovely day walking very relaxing and beautiful view
Nice walk/subway ride ! And nice info for those people whose needs to use the subway line in a such a big city/metropolitan as New York 🗽is !!! Thank you A K for this walk/subway ride 👍!!!
You're welcome! Happy you are able to learn from my narration.
@@ActionKid I listen very carefully , in educational way it’s easier to get along when have some knowledge in advance !!
I love trains thank you so much love from the DMV
Thank you AK for giving us the full NY experience of a subway ride! Loved it! So reminiscent! I'm envious that your neighborhood is served by an el train and you get to see the outdoors. I grew up in Rego Park and I guess I don't have to tell you the rest.
Absolutely amazing video AK! Perfect real life walkthrough from Chinatown in a restaurant to the Subway 🚇 🚃 Railfanning!
I love the R46 🚃 ❤️ a lot, and it's the centerpiece of your Subway Train ride!
But, perfect video, from walking to a Subway ride!
Better get your rides and pictures of these 47 year old R46's while they are still around. When the new R211's receive their Huawei chips, and are delivered in the next few years, these R46's will be replaced along with their R44 SI's in Staten Island as well. These cars have served well since 1975, and will probably see 50 years of service the way the R32's and R42's did not too long ago.
Sweet! That subway ride was really fun! Thank you for another great video ActionKid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you show me some oysters next time, if you want? 😁
Hey kid be very careful u entering dangerous mta train system. Be alert at all times
Exactly True friend
BRAVO ACTIONKID FOR GIVING A TIP TO THE PERFORMER WITH THE GUITAR...!!!
GREETINGS FROM KAVALA GREECE...!!!
I HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL WHEN YOU HAD 306.000 SUBS. NOW YOU HAVE OVER 330.000. IT IS NOT FAR THE 1.000.000 SUBS. KEEP GOING...
hugs from your follower from Brazil 🇧🇷
I love New York ❤️ I miss visiting Manhattan,when my Niece lived there in the West Village 😆. Thank you so much for sharing your walks and trips through out the whole city ☺️❤️👍🏼
I think thomas the tank engine should pull the subway cars.
on my next NYC vacation i might try the 98 mott street food court.
Yes, you should!
Astoria is truly one of the gems of NYC. Safe area, multiple subway lines, it takes a bridge to get into Manhattan and of course, the eats. I remember last year when you did a collab video with Jon from Here Be Barr. Your favorite "secret Italian spot" has been the place I've been to since I was 13 since I went to Frank Sinatra two blocks away
Yes, love Astoria and the restaurants here!
Woohoo, we got to peak some food at the beginning at the 98 Mott Street Food Court! 😆 21:32 Subway rides can be entertaining with musicians. 🎶 Thank you for sharing this subway ride, AK! 🤗
I thought AK had moved to California ...
Thank you for this interesting and informative video. I love this line, especially the Astoria portion from QBP, and you've given me lots of suggestions of spots to visit, both in Manhattan and Queens. Kudos on your great poise - especially not getting distracted while that crude idiot was blasting non-stop obscenities into his cell phone along the Astoria Line portion of your trip. The musician who entertained was a nice touch of NYC and I enjoyed your interaction with him - also with the couple who recognized you.
Keep up the fine work!
Thanks, ActionKid, for another fun walk. :) Cheers from northeast Ohio.
Love this video about the food, weather and the subway! My favorite city in the whole world! I love New York! Thank you Actionkid for posting this great video!
No More Snowfall , Best Upload N Train NYC , At Jan. 08/2022 , _ Thanks To, _ Action Kid* Channel, .... Cheerio.*****.
Dutch Kills was a body of water at one time. Learned something today. Enjoyed watching your subway ride on the "N" train. Thx AK
That's right! Glad you learned something!
@@ActionKid It was a stream that was filled-in many years ago.
New subscriber here love your channel thank you for showing my old ride I used to take all the time when I worked in little Italy, I used to live in Astoria about 15 years ago at 30th ave and Crescent St across from the hospital brings back memories. Also funny coincidence, I watched your Hollywood Star homes tour in L.A and your tour guide was my old co-worker Alan when I was doing that job about 10 years ago I haven’t seen him since. It was very weird in a good way that you showed me parts of my past that were close to me, so thank you for that and keep posting your beautiful walks that bring us along with you!
Thanks for subscribing, and funny how the Hollywood van tour guide was your old co-worker!
@@ActionKid listen i do love all kinds of trains my man.
I appreciate the information on the subways. I'm not in New York now, but I'll get there after the pandemic, and I'll be using transit.
thank you so much for this video! i'm still kinda confused with the subway route and everything but you helped me to understand it. Hopefully you will make another subway ride video in the future with different routes! Thank you once again xx
Loved this! I have to live vicariously!!
I love that you have so much knowledge. You explain things very well . You're like a walking , talking Encyclopedia. ☺️🌺
What an interesting video....the subway. Your knowledge is just tremendous Kenneth! I love the information you have to share about this city. Thanks again for the great and interesting travel today. Glad they are renovating these stations. Looks like they needed it. Way to go...please keep them coming.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
12:59 is where it stops at 8th Street, and that where you get out of the subway and going to a movie theater that no longer exists called the 8th Street Triplex Cinemas and that where you went to see the original “My Little Pony: The Movie” as it were back in 1986. After the movie’s over, they went back to the 8th Street station, headed back to the N train, and there you go. It was 1986 all over again.
wow 30th avenue was my stop from the late 70's to 91. Astoria Projects raised!!
Love the uploads. I'm addicted
Thank you!
This is a great Subway train. My mom has videoed this train system back then, it is amazing.
Yep - R46 cars from 1975. These are the last NYCTA subway cars produced in the USA.
Yep - the R46's were built by Pullman-Standard of Chicago, Illinois with a total amount of 754 cars after its all said and done. They went out of business back in 1981 after suffering huge losses in their passenger railcar business. Saint Louis Car Company also went out of business in 1974 after completing a 352 cars order known as the R44's for the NYCTA & SIRTOA. American car & Foundry also closed-up shop in 1962 after they completed the R26/R28 subway car order for the NYCTA as well. Buss Closed-up shop after completing the M3/M3A for 174 cars for the LIRR & 142 cars for Metro North Railroad in 1988 as well. So, there are no longer anymore domestic railcar car builders left in the USA. Aerospace company Rohr Industries tried their hands at the railcar market for BART & WMATA, and also went out of business in 1977 after suffering huge losses as well. The question is, why does building railcars in the USA cause the US carbuilders so much grief ???
Fantastic video.
Thanks for the ride
You're welcome!
Thank you AK , so interesting about the subway stops xoxo
You're welcome!
Great Job giving us all the details of your trip...Thanks !
You're welcome, I appreciate it
Watching your [such] vids is fascinating (Thank you for them!) In MT here & I never have nor will ride your subways, -Don't like NYC & Gawd take care yourself‼_ My experienced mom spoke of the subways years ago... Back then "bearable" but now... Sound like all heLL here of late (Fox News) & I surely see where there's no friendliness, -Ya' just mind your own damn business & [whilst you must; That works!], -So sad but knOw that here in Blgs such is creeping In (here too sadly as well)-! All those people_ such that if some s.o.b. pulls his s*,... That y'all don't [use your "strength in numbers" &] stomp his g.d. head, -The life totally right out of him (so no repeat tomorrow-)!! But no reportedly folx are [cowards, or (➖❓❗_] &... The law / cops no help anymore-!!
HOW(??!,-) Can you bear this?!,-
Answer me "_God!!-" & I'd see some sense here but otherwise-
I pray for y'all but- Buddy Y'all need'ta "Get W/ it-"; Y'all live in h-e-L-L... FIXZitt➖‼‼❗_____ (☝)
I want to thank you because I developed a fear of going underground. This video I use to put myself in your shoes to remind me the train ride can be fast, interesting, and smooth. I'm sure now I'll be fine. Be safe and thanks again.
Great video....very informative...excellent job, Sir!
I would like to visit NY before I pass...someday, and if do, I'll try to keep some of this in mind.
Hell, I only live about an hour north of LA along the coast in Ventura CA and I haven't even explored LA all that much...so, we'll see, haha!
You should come to San Antonio Texas and do some videos, lots of historical places but we don’t have a subway. You would need a car to get to interesting places. The downtown Riverwalk area is beautiful and the Alamo is there. I love your videos!
Thank you for sharing! Great walking.👍 🗽❤🙌
I like the crowded subway where people look at you occasionally for talking to yourself. Pls do more like this. Empty subways are boring.
Wanna move to nyc now, people just doing their thing and not giving a fuck. From Sweden 🇸🇪
@@xww.. Yes it is. But there less then 20million ppl living there I 🤔🤔🤔 think . USA can't be like Sweden cuz we have 345million ppl here SW would not do for this Country..
I mean, sweden have good welfare. We don't have to pay for hospital bills. Me as a transperson wouldn't want to do my transition elsewhere cause it costs like $ 10k-20k. But the anonymity is not that much I would say :(
That's very interesting , thank you ! Daniel from Romania !
Am amazed to learn you still have conductors on your subway, no conductors on the London Underground since the year 2000. Regards JH
Nice vid! But in my opinion you shouldn't give money to panhandlers. The metro/subway isn't the place for "performance" imho.
Very good and informative narrative, most interesting and very well done , I have been to NYC a few times and this has taught me something new,great voice that lures you in to the rhetoric: loved this video so professional , well done!!!!
Why are the entrances to stations, stations, trains, and pathways so narrow and small? Also, everything seems so unclean. There are no security checkpoints too. This makes me feel grateful for the metro we have in New Delhi, our systems seem lightyears ahead to be honest.
last time I rode the subway you couldn't get cell phone signals underground. had to wait until I was above ground to use my phone 😊😊
Very good video, can i use it for my "Alan Walker parody" video?
I love your channel! Thank you for producing such high quality content.
I can't get the 'penguin walk' out of my head !. (LOL)
Wow, you wouldn't get away with performing on a train where I live I don't think
Great commentary, knowledgeable info 👍
Cначала в темноте спускается в метро 5:15, поэтому и на улице в темноте, не по-русски говорит. Одна без маски 32:07. От станции выход в город на улицу 41:25.
Those orange seats remind me of the Broad Street subway in Philly where i live
I need to understand the NYC subway system ASAP.
Subway trains......what a horrible experience.
Safety should also be improved. Cameras should also be installed and manned by police officers. Police officers should also patrol subway platforms. If I am going to spend my good money I expect to be safe.
Safety is always a concern on the subway
@@ActionKid True - since many of the criminals beat the fare thru those emergency exit gates. PATCO in Philly to Lindenwold NJ is still the best and safest line to ride. Over there BIG BROTHER IS ALWAYS WATCHING YOU !!!
What's up AK! Wow! The kitchen looks so authentic !!!
Yes, it's excellent!
i cant believe you talked throughout the whole journey
Love it when ActionKid gets recognized.
Not much further to Ditmars, c'mon
You always do a good job with your videos. JH
Thank you so much. The signal underground is amazing, even under the river.
You're welcome! There's only cell phone service in the stations and outside, no service underground inbetween stations.
Choo Choo train Choo Choo train
Here we go!
I have never in my life been on the New York metro before.
Contrast this to Moscows subway…check it out
Hi how do u go to 8th Ave 62 Street Brooklyn
Nice video
Lol ...ok, well, I guess I'm going to come off like a "Debbie Downer" compared to your other comments. I'm born and raised from Queens and only moved away less than 6 years ago. I came to visit October 2021, stayed in Long Island City, but did not go in the subway. I've rode those trains for many years though.🙂 I'm so surprised by the amount of people packed on the train like pre-2020. Even with what looks like one surgical type mask, which we have learned is not enough right now. I love my NYC people, especially the natives, we are so resilient, but sometimes too caught in that invincible "can't stop, won't stop" mentality. And the singer had his mask down. 😒 Oh AK 😔. Other than that, yup it was a nice video, as always. ❤️🗽
I enjoy watching👍
5:39-The MetroCard reminds me of the Metropass we used to use here in Toronto on the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission), which was replaced and superseded by the RFID contactless PRESTO card in 2018.
Now that's how NYC should look in January. Dude, you got a classic R-46 train to Astoria, that's a dinosaur now. They were new when I was a kid.
Yup, most of the R46 trains are on the N, W, and Q trains now.
@@ActionKid yeah but at the same time I do miss r160's.
@@dariusharley5548 All R160's are now on the IND Queens Blvd lines for their CBTC capabilities.
@@ActionKid the A & C lines also has them since 2008.
Hi Ken. Thank u 4 this video. I absolutely loved it. I had tje opportunity to travel from Manhattan to 36th Ave for a number of occasions while on vacation in LIC. You provided such valuable information. I truly appreciate all the information you sarw with us, your viewers. Have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe.
I love the mta subway
Still waiting to bump into AK on one of my visits to NYC. Love your vids. They hold me over between visits to the city. And I learn something new every time
36th ave is my stop my dad been living in Astoria Queens for 22 year's and as a kid it was a dump lol . i remember a store being on the 36th ave station used to get soda and m&ms back when the stations were horrible looking
Is the various public transportation handicap friendly? Cause I've not seen any elevators or people with walkers/wheelchairs on any of the transportation OR on the streets in videos.
That Chinese food market has a great variety of food, and so fresh to . Catching the train was so enjoyable , and thanks for being our tour guide. Watching you has taught me so much about your vibrant city . I would love ❤ to come visit but we can't leave our country, but in the mean time I will enjoy your company .💚✌
Really enjoying your videos, it reminds me of when I lived in NY, loved the city, I'm surprised people don't complain about you filming them?
Great Videos from NYC! Thanks Actionkid! Regards from Switzerland / Berne
Love your videos!
Thank you so much!
Hay Action Kid what's the address of that Food Court in Chinatown im going to go there this Weekend 😎 nevermind you just said where it is in the video 🤣
Bro you are a beast... I love NY moms is from there. I miss it. You breaking it down. Stay Up Salute 🤣🤣
Good night great video I love it
5:17 Entering the Train Station
Is this New York or China
Keep safe out there action kid your videos and in-depth knowledge about the big Apple are educational thanks 😁👍
Does anyboby know if the New York weekly Metro ticket include New Jersey?
OMG...it's so nasty. The subway looks so old, neglected and OUTDATED. Other cities in the world have much nicer metros/subways. The infrastructure in the U.S. is so OUTDATED.
Because nyc subway is one of the original and most extensive subways in the world. Most came long after.
@@ee.es00 Oh well...it's still a grimey and outdated disgrace. The NYC subways is a JOKE. People from other rich, industrialized, first world countries and shocked and laugh at the NYC subway.
@@GeeB1 oh well its a lot easier to create a new system than to totally renovate one that's over 100 years old.
The guitar busker has some great balance.
That's right!
@@ActionKid Now wait for those showtime dancers when they get on the N & Q train at Canal Street when the train crosses the Manny B.
Sweet video ❤ so nice
