Curious about what this hermit got up to in New York? Grab a coffee, get cozy, and settle in-this one’s a bit of a journey. It’s the longest vlog I’ve ever recorded (and that’s after some serious editing)!
This was a incredible vlog, especially for Keith who has been to NY but hadn't seen all the places you shared. Lovely to see Kim 💐 oh wow the Cauldron ! What a wonderful trip lil bro xx
I am SO IMPRESSED! I don't know how you managed to assemble this lengthy vlog so quickly. I loved the addition of the jazz background music - so New York. I've spent the better part of my Sunday watching all of this and remembering my little appearances in it (I need to take special critical note of how I'm dressed; I never see me from others' viewpoints. Obviously I dress for comfort, not for fashion. (my shirttails hanging out the pants ballooning over my socks! Horrors! lol.) It was great being able to spend time with you while you were here. I can't believe all the walking you guys got in. I haven't even seen most of these things and I've lived here for 50 years!
You looked absolutely fine! It’s important to be comfortable in New York I would imagine, just from my short spell there. It was a lovely experience spending time with you Robin, I really appreciated you making the effort. Happy memories have been made this last week.
Loved every minute. Only murders in the building is brilliant. Great footage from Day to dusk to night on the Empire State. I thought that you looked a very cool New Yorker in that coat!
Such an Amazing work of Art this video/vlog. I enjoyed it so much! It was so nice to see you having such a good time with your friends and experiencing New York City! I was born in Massachusetts and spent a lot of time in Boston and New York when i was young. It was so nice to see all the Beautiful views and all the cool places you all went. So glad i got to see Jen and Elle and Robin with you 😊That is an experience you will never forget! Glad you made it back home safely too 🥰Thank you so much for sharing this incredible experience with us. It brought back some good memories.It took me awhile to get through it because i kept rewinding and rewatching. Really Great job! Much Love and many Blessings! 💜💜💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was such an interesting vlog Simon really loved it, definitely would like to go to New York now such an amazing city. Thank you for sharing your trip of a lifetime and making my mouth water the food looked so yummy ❤xx
You had been talking about this trip for a long time, it’s great to see you’ve now finally made it! Seems like you had an awesome time and met some great people! Thanks for taking us along ❤
@@Magus9 Thank you so much, my dear friend! It means the world to me that you’re enjoying the vlog. Meeting up with Simon was such a special moment, and I’m so happy to share it with all of you. Sending you lots of love hope you enjoyed the rest of the video! ❤
It’s funny how we all feel temperatures differently. Living in Australia when we hear people from overseas saying they’re hot during their Summer. We’re like mate you wouldn’t know what hot was 😂 Such a fascinating Vlog thank you so much for sharing ❤
Oh wow!! I live about 30 minutes north of NYC! How cool to have you so close to me! The city is especially pretty this time of year- I am so glad you enjoyed your visit! ♥️🎄
Simon you picked a fantastic time to visit NYC. It’s really the prettiest time of year. I worked in Macy’s for many years and have wonderful memories. The city is jammed packed with buildings and you jammed packed so many activities. You did a great job of vlogging your adventures. Thought you would’ve gone to see Strawberry Fields the tribute to John Lennon. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful trip. Merry Christmas cheers 🎉
What a wonderful trip Simon, thank you for sharing your amazing adventures. It must have been great to meet up with your friends and make special memories. I love your vlogs. 😊❤
What a wonderful vlog Simon! Served as my chosen Christmas Night's entertainment and didn't disappoint! I've seen Elle before in your videos and she looks to be positively glowing in NYC with Jen. Watched fascinated whilst stuffing popcorn in my mouth, followed by vegan chocolate, (washed down with a bottle of Moscato, just a mini size). I love the way you film, I felt like I was tagging along too! Merry Christmas and thank you so much for sharing another of your superb adventures! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it, I like the natural vlog experience, rather than staged shots and loud music over everything. Enjoy the rest of the holidays and thank you for watching 😍
This video was absolutely incredible! You captured the city’s energy and magic so beautifully! it felt like I was walking those streets right there with you. Every shot was stunning, and you have such a gift for bringing places to life in such a vibrant, heartfelt way. Truly a masterpiece! Thank you for sharing your talent and vision with us my friend! it was an absolute joy to watch!
I'm finally able to watch this video, and it brings back wonderful memories for me. Our hotel was near the Empire State building. 😊 Did you find it weird to notice roofs when you came back home? I kept double taking at my window. 😆 Thank you for sharing 💕
This was enjoyable to watch. I was born and raised in New York so Manhattan was my city. I haven't been now in over a decade and this had me missing it. Lovely hit of nostalgia. You packed a lot in in a short amount of time, well done to you and your tour guides! Thank you for sharing.
I made it to the end, loved it, beautiful vacation. I've never been to New York, I live on the West coast. Now I feel like ive been there. Love you my Simon, thank you for taking us along ❤
Loved this! So good to see Jen from Balanced Tarot...I learned a lot when she hosted live get-togethers. We took our young adult children to NYC in 2023. We sat in the exact same spot at Cafe Reggio when we visited. I am not a big city girl (from a dairy farm community in Ohio) but I really enjoyed our visit!
What a fantastic vlog, your videos and pictures are so high quality. Compared to my pictures😆 Even though I looked quite the mess in the Vlog it’s great to have been able to share a part of your adventure! (Hopefully will see you in your neck of the woods in 2026)
Thank you so much for the sights and sounds of NYC, especially the lights at night, beautiful! Your vlog made me feel like I was there! The snow at the end was perfect! Merry, wonderful holidays to you and thanks again so much. 🎉❤🎉
Oh my goodness, THANK YOU, for one of the best natural vlogs I've watched . Viewing through the lense is fantastic , not only do others get to see what you see but you get to look back with incredible clarity. Like you said a holiday like this deserves your full attention and memory grabbing opportunity! You were in the moment always and also captured moments too . I honestly spent a lovely two hours with you this evening in New York from the comfort of my own pjs and lounge. 🎉❤❤❤
Amazing perspective from a foreign traveler. ❤ I had permissive parents who wanted me to have adventures and a train station two blocks away in CT so even as kids, my friend and we could pop into NYC for fun. Your NYC is a lot shinier and cleaner than my one. I love seeing the city through the eyes of appreciative visitors. I had just watched the John Wick movies and your Central Park sites were heavily featured. I laughed at your Trump Tower comment. Everything looked wonderful. ❤
NY looked amazing, I always expect to see flying cars through the nighttime scenes like the movie blade runner, very futuristic, and the food looked delicious and so many cuisines to choose, thanks for the vlog really enjoyed it. Merry Christmas 🎄 x
Can someone fill in the blanks for me? Apparently, I‘ve been living under a rock. Jen lives in NYC now? How come? And why with Elle? That‘s an awesome area in NYC to live in as well 😍.
Simon! I enjoyed your New York City trip vlog so much. It was lovely seeing Jen and Elle again. I’ve missed them. You certainly did pack a lot in , seeing so many incredible sights. Meeting up with Robin and Ramon was a treat for sure. I’d love to try one of those lobster 🦞 cones….yum. Yule Blessings 🌲. Wishing you happiness, good health and cherished memories in the New Year. 😘
Home is always where the heart is, but loved every second of the trip. Least favourite was the sheer amount of scammers, and how somethings were extortionately priced. So many highlights. Dumbo, Brooklyn bridge, empire state, Wicked on Broadway etc. 😍
What an amazing trip! Thank you for taking us along on this fabulous adventure. I’ve never thought about going to New York, but now I want to go and check it out.
What a treat, Simon!!! Your videos of NYC are just fabulous! You went to so many iconic sites! I’m so impressed! That pepperoni pizza looked really good! I adore Central Park, probably my favorite place. I haven’t been there since 2005. That Caffe Reggio’s looked like an interesting, historical location, one worth visiting. Your hosts were lovely. The views you got of the NY skyline at night were wonderful. Thanks for taking us along!!!

Amazing ❤
I dont know how you could possibly walk past that Crumbl Cookie at the end there. They have the best cookies. :D
Can someone fill in the blanks for me? Apparently, I‘ve been living under a rock. Jen lives in NYC now? How come? And why with Elle? That‘s an awesome area in NYC to live in as well 😍.
Elle has been in the US for two and a half years. They moved to NY almost a year ago.

Thank you lovely, I loved my trip over there. Happy memories created. 😍
Would love to know... what was your favorite and least favorite part of New York? And, if you prefer England?
Home is always where the heart is, but loved every second of the trip. Least favourite was the sheer amount of scammers, and how somethings were extortionately priced. So many highlights. Dumbo, Brooklyn bridge, empire state, Wicked on Broadway etc. 😍
What an amazing trip! Thank you for taking us along on this fabulous adventure. I’ve never thought about going to New York, but now I want to go and check it out.
Oh you really should. My top tips would be to wear comfortable shoes and take plenty of cash! 😜
Omg Simon 2 days back I was in New York I wish I knew where else you traveling
