As a fellow New Yorker, you warm my heart with this content. You can do the whole damned city, all five boroughs. This is a series I'd fall in love with.
I don't think he could. Comedy in the city is basically centralized to lower Manhattan, which is what he knows and why this video is so good. Queens? Brooklyn? The Bronx? I doubt he knows more than most lifelong New Yorkers. including myself (I've lived in every borough including SINY)
@@sabirsal well that's the beauty of it actually cause he just needs a friend with good stories from every major neighborhood. I bet he's got one of those for every block in Manhattan and he's gotta know a few from Brooklyn and Queens. SI might be trickier but Chris Destefano could find somebody for him. I'd watch every one.
These are fantastic. Old school NYers are finally getting to tell their stories. You and Scorsese walking through Little Italy is something that needs to happen.
jesus christ am I ever glad you’re doing this, actual youtube content from Colin Quinn is genuinely exciting to me, and I’m sure to many others as well
Stumbled upon this…really enjoyed the reminiscing…got a little choked up when they started in about Spider, my father, Sonny’s Cafe, that we just called “the bar” and the folklore etc.. Michael is old school and knew what to say and what not to get into…thanks Mike. Dad passed a year ago August 17 and I think a piece of NYC died with him; he really would have enjoyed this…thanks Colin.
Thanks for this, Colin. I grew up on 55th and 8th/9th all through the 80s & 90s until I left NY 3 years ago. It's hard for people to really conceptualize just how rough the neighborhood used to be. This was one heck of a nostalgia trip.
A lot of “West Side Story” was filmed in the neighborhood that is now Lincoln center.The neighborhood was emptied out for “urban renewal”.The movie was filmed and then the neighborhood was demolished.
My second boyfriend, when I was 17, took me to see Colin Quinn in the city. I can’t believe and I’m very happy that he’s still around still performing and he looks so healthy and beautiful. Blessings to you Colin.
I always get so stoked when I see new stuff from Colin, and even more so with the history-related stuff. One of my favorite subjects delivered so colorfully by one of the all-time great comedy (and social commentary) minds. Keep it coming!
My family lived in Hell's Kitchen in the late 60's upon first arriving in the States... Needless to say, it wasn't a great neighborhood at the time, and the decision was soon made to move the troop to northern NJ. Interesting to hear how the neighborhood received protected status, makes you wish it had happened to more parts of the city.. It's these unmolested neighborhoods that feel most authentically NY. Been a fan of yours since the 80's, and i'm really happy to see that you've continued to experience success with your career. Wishing you continued success and health and happiness.. And definitely looking forward to more from the Block by Block series. Cheers, Colin.
Wow, Native decades long resident of San Francisco, and SF wishes we had great neighborhoods like that... Blown away man what a great City you have there! Bravo
I was a elevator mechanic in NYC worked for Millar on 12 th ave, used to drink at the exchange bar everyday on 8 th ave. We had a cigar box behind the bar with 500 bucks ( mad money) in it. It was glorious, RIP john the bartender.
So good!!! Thanks!!! More more more! I loved it…I grew up coming in on the bus (to Port Authority) from Jersey & meet my friend from Brooklyn & walk all around Hells Kitchen…
A history lesson by a guy who asked Michu Kaku if he cracked homphobic jokes when Lance Bass went up in a rocket. I'm here for all of this. Thank you, Colin! ✌️
Last time I saw you ,you were falling out of a cab trying to ask if I wanted a ride to the MET …I always thanked you for that as I know you grew up with my family..so…thank you and I knew this story when I was a kid so thanx for telling . 👊
8:10 - when that guy walks between Colin and Mickey, Colin looks at the guy like an abusive father that says "Is today the day? Is today the day that you're man enough to go one on one with the old man?"
Hey I could use some more of Uncle Mickies story time. It was a great story. And I want to know if he has more. Plus he told it really well and taught you so much about neighborhood and what it was. LIVING LEGEND.
In the 70’s I had great friends from Hells Kitchen,their stories were unbelievable to a kid from the suburbs! Brutal place with very colorful characters. They were thrilled to be out…………
We are being told how bad things are all over - but here's Hell's Kitchen looking sharp. Get Up, America! Get Dressed! Get Busy! The show's not over. So GREAT to see and hear Mr Spillane, one of the world's greatest stylist writers - a story teller of the highest order. Brilliant use of TH-cam.
I just found your channel and this is incredible content. As somebody who was born in Brooklyn, and absolutely still adores the city, I love to hear these stories. Most people walking those streets these days do not know the history of that city, and how incredibly lucky they are to not only walk those streets, but be amongst so much history that went down there. great stuff. Thank you.
i love this whole thing. i loved your books & stand-up stories of your neighborhood. you should definitely do more walk & talks in your old neighborhood with folks from your past. this was awesome -- thank you!
great video liked the fact you put the camera behind you guys. I really felt part of the conversation. would love another video of a different neighbourhood

Colin Quinn's New York Tour guide would be a legitimate tour I would pay for
As long as Rich Vos is driving the bus
@@weaksignal8009 Here'jvsh the thffing. You need a ticket to enter my bus allright?
Would make a good show.
I'm in.
@@weaksignal8009he can’t drive, that’s where he’ll be doing his act.

pedo flags everywhere
Couldn’t agree more

@@sabirsal I think Colin grew up in Park Slope, so I'm sure he has a lot of Brooklyn stories
A weekly New York neighborhood history/ comedy tour would be a great side gig for CQ!
More like this please, Colin. This was great.
Colin is one step away from starting a podcast! Hell yeah!
Isn't this one already?
Nah, he don't need that, this is much better
This man on the street format works better for him imo
this podcast format would be perfect
His podcast could be called 'Tough Crowd' or somethin!
Good stuff, Mickey Spillane is indeed a legend.
I like the Bar/ restaurant named after him.
These are fantastic. Old school NYers are finally getting to tell their stories. You and Scorsese walking through Little Italy is something that needs to happen.
As a 3rd Generation born & raised in Hells Kitchen native NYer, my family arrived in 1891, and I love this! Michaels a good guy!
I feel like i'm getting a true authentic New York experience.
jesus christ am I ever glad you’re doing this, actual youtube content from Colin Quinn is genuinely exciting to me, and I’m sure to many others as well
I could listen to Mickey Spillane tell stories for days. This is fantastic.
Stumbled upon this…really enjoyed the reminiscing…got a little choked up when they started in about Spider, my father, Sonny’s Cafe, that we just called “the bar” and the folklore etc..

Hi Jeff…Glad you enjoyed it… your dad was a terrific man… Hope you are well… Talk soon
Wow, so cool❤❤❤
You know Sachs?
@@mickeyspillane9650hey mike....I'm ex FDNY..used to work up there! Thanks for bringing up old memories
As a New Yorker, all these people just blowing by CQ and Micky without a care in the world: it's just so endearing
Haha I was thinking the opposite but you’re right
@@bigmoose99 I wouldn't expect anything else of them
I live in another county. Never been to NY. I love Colin and everything he does. Cop show was ahead of its time. This irish meathead is a genius.
“Heck’s kitchen” 😂FAWKIN HOMERUN
Colin Quinn is a New York staple. We need more of these type of videos with Quinn!
I didn’t want this story to end ❤
Oh man, your tributes to the city are the greatest, and hands down the best out there. Cannot wait for the rest of series! Thank you CQ!
This is such a cool concept and I loved this episode! 💥 35 yrs after Croc Dundee 2 and we're finally getting to see CQ guiding us around New York.
Is Paul Hogan still alive? Maybe we can get the Quinn script from crocodile Dundee 2
@@bigmoose99 😀Let's make it happen. Tuxedo onlooker no more. Equal billing this time.
@@Burgmannn they can get Norton to play a fetal pig
This is brilliant as always Colin 👍
Colin Quinn is just the best. Anything this man does is gold. Nothing makes me happier than when I see a notification for this channel
Fantastic concept!! I could listen to these stories all day. Keep ‘em coming CQ!
Thanks for this, Colin. I grew up on 55th and 8th/9th all through the 80s & 90s until I left NY 3 years ago. It's hard for people to really conceptualize just how rough the neighborhood used to be. This was one heck of a nostalgia trip.
The Andre story is absolutely incredible and should be animated
Fascinating history and viewpoints. Love this series!
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Any walk down memory lane, particularly New York, I gobble up.
I am a Stagehand, 5th generation . Colin this is fantastic, loved it.
Thank you for the tour. Love to see the history of the neighborhood
All I can think while watching this is.... Man I wish Patrice were still here cuz him and Colin were unstoppable together! Love the work Colin.
More of this Colin please
fantastic night out in the city. Great to be along for the ride. The best!
The Andre the giant in the corner of the thumbnail is tastefully done
A lot of “West Side Story” was filmed in the neighborhood that is now Lincoln center.The neighborhood was emptied out for “urban renewal”.The movie was filmed and then the neighborhood was demolished.
It's good to see Colin getting out of the house.
Im from Brooklyn, but we used to come the the city almost every weekend. I remember Sonny's, and the Savoy. Damn I feel old (LOL)!
My second boyfriend, when I was 17, took me to see Colin Quinn in the city. I can’t believe and I’m very happy that he’s still around still performing and he looks so healthy and beautiful. Blessings to you Colin.
As a stagehand who's staying in the neighborhood for the week, this was great to watch.
This is perfect, interesting info and fantastic storytelling, I hope it’s a series!
Finally a REAL Hell’s Kitchen video!!
These are great! Keep em coming
I always get so stoked when I see new stuff from Colin, and even more so with the history-related stuff. One of my favorite subjects delivered so colorfully by one of the all-time great comedy (and social commentary) minds. Keep it coming!

Didn't want it to end
Pat Cooper was so sure Colin grew up in Hell's Kitchen
WHO TOLD YA DAT?!
He was too busy protecting his DIG-NI-TY!!

Two Irish guys walking down the street taking to each other and carrying microphones. Nobody bats and eye. Hilarious.
Will watch anything w/Colin Quinn. A NYC classic, and I don't know any other comedian I can watch, and learn from.
My man Colin!!! Keep up the great work, love the new content 👍
Liked and subscribed and shared_Thanks
Shout out CQ!!!
“Shout out “?! Is this a 90s hip hop station?
This is exactly the format I want to watch Colin, I will watch all of these. Please keep droppin
A history lesson by a guy who asked Michu Kaku if he cracked homphobic jokes when Lance Bass went up in a rocket. I'm here for all of this. Thank you, Colin! ✌️

I NEED more Colin Quinn New York history tours!
🙏🏽🔥🔥
I, too, was born and raised in Brooklyn. This was pretty cool to watch this good job. Colin good job & Mr.Spillane. 😊
Heyyyy.... McCoys at 4:58 !
Don’t think I could live there, but I’ll visit NYC with Colin Quinn and Pals all day long.
I’m glad that the TRUE cut of Crocodile Dundee II has finally been released.
8:10 - when that guy walks between Colin and Mickey, Colin looks at the guy like an abusive father that says "Is today the day? Is today the day that you're man enough to go one on one with the old man?"
😂
"There are 8 million stories in the naked city, this has been one of them".
This is amazing! Always love to see colin quinn doing different things
Most underrated comedian of all time
Hey I could use some more of Uncle Mickies story time. It was a great story. And I want to know if he has more. Plus he told it really well and taught you so much about neighborhood and what it was. LIVING LEGEND.
This fills the appetite for New York. Thanks Colin and your awesome guests.
Epic story Colin. Great stuff! Thank you.
This is the epitome of internet content
I love Colin Quinn
Both Sly Stallone, and Bruce Willis lived in Hell's Kitchen in the 70s, and 80s respectively when they up and comers.
Such a cool slice of life, nice to see CQ in his element and finally making online content, thanks Colin 🙏
In the 70’s I had great friends from Hells Kitchen,their stories were unbelievable to a kid from the suburbs! Brutal place with very colorful characters. They were thrilled to be out…………
Omg I love my neighborhood! Thank you for this 💖
This was a great idea -- absolutely killer
Absolutely love this

Have legendary bagel shop performer Rich Vos as a guest in one of your videos
It would be interesting to have Vos do a tour of all the drug dens he used to strut around in his hot pants
@@choxiden3776 Hey everybody's itsh me Voshh thish is the abandonned house I used to shmock crack in
Please keep these coming on all the neighborhoods of New york!! This is a series!!! Thanks Colin!!!!
Never stop making these.
This is like a college course for a neighorhood. Please do more!
Legend
I love that these videos can go anywhere.
Man, Colin is just the best

This is GREAT...can't wait to catch another
i love this whole thing. i loved your books & stand-up stories of your neighborhood. you should definitely do more walk & talks in your old neighborhood with folks from your past. this was awesome -- thank you!
The day Tough Crowd got cancelled was the day I lost faith in humanity. But I feel a little bit better with every piece Colin puts out.
Great tour, and great companion, Michael Spillane, very entertaining. Would love to see plenty more walking tours like this! Thanks,
This is so good.
Great story! Robert and Michael two of my best friends growing up in Woodside.
Billy!! It’s been a while. How the heck are you?
Good idea, Collin. I just started this video, and I know it's going to be good.
great video liked the fact you put the camera behind you guys. I really felt part of the conversation. would love another video of a different neighbourhood
Colin, great job on this. Pop-up ads are great & not overbearing. Love the stories & format. Awesome work CQ.
I can spot a homeless Pimp edit from the thumbnail alone! A Banger!
Shout out the pimp!
The always hilarious and profound quinyyyyyy, fly wild & stay gold 🔔
He should bring Doug out for one of these episodes. If he can get him.
That's way better than "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" Colin! ;-) And remember, you can always get Letterman for a "man in the street" gig.
I'm just leaving a comment to make Colin's content appear to be bustling with activity.
Love it! Makes sense that the only thing that will get him to do another show is to document NYC.
Thank you for the tour & for all the new content!
"Andre the Giant?". Good story.
Love your style Collin.
