This is a great video. I just came back from NYC and he basically covers all the best places. There is a lot more inbetween, but that's the beauty of NYC. Walking is the best way to see the city. Cheers and Thanks for the tour. Toronto fan of NYC.
Been there a bajillion times never gets old. Its been my favorite city ever since I was 6 it was so intimidating (I arrived at night so there was tons of lights) I loved it, I hope to live here when I'm older. No place like new york.
It always amazes me that it does not matter what you watch on TH-cam there is an argument between people. To anyone thinking about going to NYC just go and make up your own mind. I went in 2007 loved it so much went back 2008 and finances permitting will be going September 2010. It can be whatever you want it to be. Go and enjoy it, the people we met were friendly and helpful. Go on you know you want to!!!!!
I ♡ New York I was born & raised and Idk is it really that expensive or is it just cuz I live there & it feels awesome when NY is very well known worldwide :)
I have been to New York for 4 days last year and it was amazing, I stayed in the holiday inn 57th street, I am going back next year for a week really excited
i'm from austria, europe. i was in new york in summer 2010 and i love it there! i was in florida and washington too but new york was the best. sorry for the perhaps bad english i'm only 13 years old.
I just got back from a quick trip to New York City--my first--and I wish I had seen this video before going. I created my own little video about racing through NYC in 26 hours. I really loved it there--such a great place!
Ive lived in new york all my life and it is a place for everyone in my opinion. Theres many different people from different places and backrounds. Beautiful beaches and a amazing city that is impossible to get board at. And quiet nice areas aswell out east. If you know you guys would like to come here im sure you will love it and feel welcomed:)
The Bronx, according to what people say, is the "up & coming" borough. Family oriented & as reasonably priced as you can hope for in the city. It's where I would pick if I were going to move that way. Good luck! Keep me posted. :)
As a native and life-long New Yorker I found this presentation to be quite good. One thing that is not addressed is that New York City is a difficult place to GO TO THE BATHROOM. Many years ago, there was a book called "Where To Go" and unfortunately, I can't locate it but travelers here should keep such a salient point in mind, that and to really see stuff here you have to be in good physical condition to WALK A LOT.
Hello KY girl, I am from Venezuela amd I lived for five years in USA. 06 months in Louisville, KY and 4,5 years in NYC, The BIG APPLE or THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS. I look the day to go back to NYC. I love that City. I hope to take my family there. Bye.
Thank you so much Colin! That was the best guide ever! When I visited New York, I watched your video on the plane ride over and it helped A LOT! Hopefully, if I get the apartment I've got my eye on, I'll be living there soon!
living here is different than visiting here. However, it's a great place to be with every amenity available to enjoy and explore. Welcome to the Big Apple.
GREAT CITY...GREAT PLACE...sorry for the others, but NYC is still the CENTRE OF THE WORLD.Once there, you´ll know what is the meaning of being there. I do miss NEW YORK CITY!!!! Thank you for this video!
(newyorkwonderfulland) I congratulate your magnificent idea of giving a broad view of New York to the world in an amazing short time, where you show that this city is the real dreamer's aladdin's lamp.
Hi, The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island. A visit to it usually includes a trip to Ellis Island also, but the statue itself is on Liberty Island.
Thanks for the message. Always welcome feedback. With avenues, the voiceover is in the context of layout, so when it says avenues run from east to west, it means that east of 5th Ave is 6th Ave. Put an annotation in for this to avoid any confusion. And with the Rose Center, saw a lot of planets there and isn't astrology all in the stars?! ;-) Thanks for the tips re the Zagat Guide and the book.
I always go to eat cheap pizza and cheap pastrami before leaving, then i go the famous places the last day of my visit (Lombardis, Rays, Carnegie and Katz). Good stuff peoples!
1) Go to L and B pizzeria in Brooklyn, plus it is a few stops from Coney Island. 2) Try out Flushing Meadow Park. It is across the street from Citi Field and they did a scene in the park in the first Men in Black movie. 3) IF and ONLY IF you have extra time when you go on the Staten Island Ferry, take the S44 to the Staten Island Mall. I only suggest cause it is stupid proof to get back and forth cause the ferry is the first stop and the mall is the last stop and you get to see another borough
The video means in terms of layout, not direction ie 1st Ave is on the east side of Manhattan, then 2nd, 3rd Aves etc is west of here. Likewise with streets - north of 42nd street is 43rd and south of it is 41st street.
Oh spot who didnt know how ta have a good time in NYC.!! ive been twice since May and loved every min its what ya make it.!! Also when crossing a rd u still have ta look left and right nothing tried ta run me down.. And yeah some of the smells were bad but ya gotta look at it through a big pic, its the city that never sleeps its NEVER gonna be clean and breezy its a hot and smoking.......! :) i loved it x
CORRECTION ON STREET & AVENUE DIRECTIONS: All in all a very informative video. Others may have corrected this but I did not want to scroll thru 1.5m comments. In Manhattan Avenues run North (UPTOWN) & South (DOWNTOWN), and streets run East & West not the reverse as stated. USEFUL TIP: On most of Manhattan the house numbers are on the north side of the street and even on the south side ( I lived in Manhattan for years before learning this, Duh! and it's great for orienting yourself when you get out of a subway and don't know which way is up). Also, the house or building numbers on streets are numbered east and west starting from from Fifth Ave., so 10 E. 59th st. will be between 5th Ave and Madison Ave and 10 W 57th St will be between 5th Ave. and Avenue of the Americas (also known as 6th Avenue). Numbers get larger as you go west to the Hudson River and East to the East River. Numbering system is very complex on the avenues so just check Waze or Google maps. In Queens the streets run north and south and avenues, drives , roads run east & west. Brooklyn is crazy so use map apps. I'm not familiar with Bronx or Staten Island. Good luck and enjoy the city but be wary of street hustlers and keep your handbags zipped and close to your body and your wallets in your side pockets (my wife is a native New Yorker and has had her wallet pinched twice). Macy's is great with huge variety, sales and generally good inventory and prices. I was there last December and the shoppers were from all over the globe and taking advantage of the low prices. My niece and her daughters come from Amsterdam with empty suitcase and go home full of clothes, computers, etc. after carefully removing packaging and tags to swindle Amsterdam customs. Macys is huge- I believe 2.2m sq. ft. or 205,000 sq. m. Wear comfortable shoes and beware of pickpockets especially when it's crowded around Christmas. Have fun and welcome to my fair city.
I'm in NYC for the first time and this helped me out ALOT..
Greatest city in the world.
New York rocks!!!! I was born in Brooklyn, lived there for 25 years and everything he said and showed is exactly how it is.
I lived in Long Island NY for four years and 3 years in Charlotte NC, and now i came back to my country i really miss those cities and my friends
One small correction.........the avenues run from North/South, and the streets run from East/West
North/South is also referred to as Uptown/Downtown xD
Odd #streets go west. Even #streets go east.
Macy's is at 34th and 6th. Just say'in.
This is a great video. I just came back from NYC and he basically covers all the best places. There is a lot more inbetween, but that's the beauty of NYC. Walking is the best way to see the city. Cheers and Thanks for the tour. Toronto fan of NYC.

Home Sweet Home!

New York beautiful...

I ♡ New York I was born & raised and Idk is it really that expensive or is it just cuz I live there & it feels awesome when NY is very well known worldwide :)
I think he mean's "Astronomy" not "Astrology".
Perhaps it was "Gastronomy."
+saintgauden or maybe gastrology
LAB-Lil' Angry B!tch I'm dead 😜
Avenues go north to sound, and streets go east to west. Not what he said.
I have been to New York for 4 days last year and it was amazing, I stayed in the holiday inn 57th street, I am going back next year for a week really excited
OMG i would just go to Central Park all day just to look at the people! gosh, I NEED TO GO THERE NOW
Astronomy...not astrology...oops.
Seems a very much gay destination isn't it?
Vinícius Oliveira Yes, nice and happy. ')
How could anyone boil down a city like New York to one word? You need to be a little more gay.
Great movie for turists! Not only the regular attractions but some very good tips about other stuff to see and do. Congratulations!
I glad to see someone talking about all of the borough's.
i'm from austria, europe. i was in new york in summer 2010 and i love it there! i was in florida and washington too but new york was the best. sorry for the perhaps bad english i'm only 13 years old.

@Colm Hanratty - You sir, are one lucky guy. Your living my dream job...exploring the world and making documentaries. Awesome.
First time living in New York I gotta admit this is a beautiful city at night.
Ive lived in new york all my life and it is a place for everyone in my opinion. Theres many different people from different places and backrounds.

The Bronx, according to what people say, is the "up & coming" borough. Family oriented & as reasonably priced as you can hope for in the city. It's where I would pick if I were going to move that way. Good luck! Keep me posted. :)
There are a lot of nice urban parts of the Bronx,,,

As a New Yorker, I can saw you've captured the spirit of the city well :) I'm impressed that you fit in all these attractions in a 9 minute video.
living here is different than visiting here. However, it's a great place to be with every amenity available to enjoy and explore.
Welcome to the Big Apple.
Thanks for the feedback - will look at taking down volume levels for future videos
@buddyboy75 Thanks for your comment - if you read the annotation at this time in the video it explains that this in terms of layout
