I was born in elmhurst and lived there until I was 12 im now 28 and live in las Vegas. Thank you for bringing me good childhood memories. I used to go to that park on Elmhurst ave everyday sad to see it closed. Wow thanks
@@minglifeng2862 I think they meant less popular meaning not well known around the world. Most people in other countries will not know what/where Elmhurst is. I am Asian as well.
Great video! This was the neighborhood that i lived in from 1949-1958. At that time it was German, Irish and Italian. As I see the vast majority of the residential area has not changed.
I am so glad I ran across your channel on here. It is great getting to see these places, I never would get to otherwise. U are very well spoken & the narrative is very informative. Thank you.👏👏👏👏👏
Great fun as always and very good narrated. Brought back good times I had again in Queen's, in the 1970's, in my 20's, but as Bob Dylan, said, and still goes, Times Are Changing. I hope, alway in best ways to come. Thanks KIDO .. BIG SMILE .. Action is Action, in best ways .. KIDO
The lady didn't want to be on camera. Doesn't she realize that she's on about a dozen different cameras at any given time just walking down the street? Video cameras are EVERYWHERE now. If you don't want to be on them, then stay home and pull the shades down!
The walk through Elmhurst was great. It is a microcosm of New York City and was mentioned in the National Geographic as the most multicultural neighborhoods in the country with more than 150 languages spoken. There are abundant and excellent restaurants in Elmhurst, many are Asian as the narrator pointed out but there are many Latino eateries representing Central and South American cuisine. I lived there for many years and I very much enjoyed visiting the old neighborhood.
Nicely done. Really cool and good info on the video. Hero 7 shoots great. Used to walk this way a few times as a youngin. Live abroad now but if and when I'm back in Queens I'm so there!! Thanks for the upload man!!!
Just found your channel and had to subscribe. I am from UK and planning a trip to NYC April 2020. Loving the narrative and walks so refreshing to see a channel do this. Keep up the great work buddy.
I'm amazed how folks don't realize that when in public they are under constant surveillance. The majority of those buildings have cameras! Not to mention red-light cameras.
cool! Roosevelt Ave station is my station too, moved here only in March so I'm still quite new to the area. Trying to explore more myself too. I took that same walk twice, thanks for the food recommendations (I'm too shy to simply enter a place without knowing about it beforehand either from yelp or other people, plus the language barrier is scary too lol). I also like the vietnamese sandwiches from Joju, you passed it by on the other side of the street. Anyway, thanks again for showing me around my neighborhood!
When you do those walk it's always fascinating in this always good to see good places that's a blessing but thanks a lot Kidd and have yourself a good day
Action u keep up the great work,that lady was rude your not bothering anyone,your totally respectable always,there is always someone has to be not nice
I finally got my remote working. I was turning to the left to see what the Elmhurst Food Court looked like. It finally worked, I didn't know what the Food Courts looked like inside. I hope others liked the peeks into the stores as much as I did. Thanks again Kenneth.
At around 29:00 minutes you are going past what was my paper route back around 1970, I delivered the now long gone Long Island Press that would come out in the afternoons to those buildings and stores and the houses up 51tst Av. Including Gino’s pizza.
Nice video and believe it or not but i'am from Middelburg in the Netherlands, what a coincidence. its a nice story btw how the Dutch discover Manhattan and still many names or streets are related.
My old neighborhood 😔, put a sad face b/c Broadway Park is down. I was kinda hoping you were going to turn & walk towards 82nd street or Forley Street (around that area) I lived on Forley Street for most of my childhood & attended PS 89 I so appreciate people like you who take the time to walk around Queens. When I was younger … walking from Forley St. to Broadway Park or from NewTown HS area to 82nd street was an everyday thing Now I’m older & live on Long Island, where very few people believe in walking at all So, thanks again & if u could go by NewTown HS & that big hill over there (& there was St. Barts over the hill) … & down further, I think was/is Bittern Avenue, towards PS 89 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
They turned the building into residential units and retail and community space on the lower floors but has remained empty even though residential spaces are in such high demand in Queens. The locals are CREEPED OUT! I only know of one daycare facility as their tenant. I guess they are waiting for NYC newbies who weren't here when it was a hospital. Creepers!
Here's some history about the Queens Center Mall.....it opened in September 1973.....for years prior to that the site was an amusement park named Fairyland.....actually the SECOND park called Fairyland...the first was built on land that is now Lefrak City....Fairyland Queens Blvd opened in 1951 and closed in 1968....it was a cute little park for people that didn't want to schlep for 2 hours in a hot subway to Coney Island
Very good historic description, I have one correction however, the name Newtown was chosen to differentiate the new settlement from what was the original settlement along Maspeth Creek. That settlement had been destroyed in an Indian raid and many of the settlers were killed.
Nice video .. but you need to spin around so folks can take in the view, I enjoyed this one because it was more random ... with cars and trucks in it ... not just people ... and I liked the buildings too.
34:10...that Macy's was actually around since 1965.... I've spent many a day sitting on those ledges waiting and waiting and waiting for the westbound Q60 bus.
I would go to that white Castle in the 60s they were $ 10 cents- when they had car hops- The original Macys would have been a perfect circle but the home that was there would not allow them to build over the corner of their yard-
this is so refreshing. i live in india and if i ever decide to do a walking tour here all you'd see is poor public infrastructure, filth, noise, and chaos.
Great morniing walk for me..i truly enjoy...can anyone recommend a airbnb in the area ..feel so peaceful there..as i am planning a visit just need a affordable place to stay..thanks
I wonder how the districts of New York differ from one another. This is not so in Moscow. Perhaps you already guessed that I am Russian from Moscow :) So, in Moscow, expensive housing and social housing are distributed evenly throughout the city. Because of this, there is no feeling that one area is flourishing and the other is in decline. Areas differ only in years of development. In the center of the house of the 19th century, closer to the outskirts of the city of the 21st century. And even more interesting is that during the Soviet era standard houses were built throughout the country. Just a few types. The building areas of the 60-80s are very similar.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING BACK SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES.🤗👍
Another fascinating tour of part of NYC. Love the narration. So comprehensive. The history is fascinating. -Henry
I was born in elmhurst and lived there until I was 12 im now 28 and live in las Vegas. Thank you for bringing me good childhood memories. I used to go to that park on Elmhurst ave everyday sad to see it closed. Wow thanks
I am from Beijing. I love this video. Used to live in Elmhurst for many years. it released my nostalgia.
From Italy, nice video. It's nice to see less popular places. The Queens is a beautiful discovery. Small town on a human scale. Thank you Actionkid.
Not you calling one of the main Asian neighborhoods in NYC a less popular place
@@minglifeng2862 I think they meant less popular meaning not well known around the world. Most people in other countries will not know what/where Elmhurst is. I am Asian as well.

Again a very interresting video about New York's history. Thanks
Love your channel! We are native New Yorkers now living in Tulsa Ok and missing home! Your channel is a taste of home for us!
Another great video! Thank you so much!
I really appreciate these videos. I did 3 of your walks while listening you and I am planning on doing this one this week.
This is so incredible! Amazing to see how other people live. You do a wonderful job in narrating.
I am so glad I ran across your channel on here. It is great getting to see these places, I never would get to otherwise. U are very well spoken & the narrative is very informative. Thank you.👏👏👏👏👏
You’re welcome!
Another great walk....enjoyed it all the way...THANK YOU....Stay Safe m8...😁😁👍🇬🇧
Good morning!
I like this community, Chinatown and Broadway thank you for the video!!

Marvelous walk through man.i appreciate it 👍
Thank you for this video! I love listening to your explanation too.
That random "stop taking pictures" though 😄 Another great video, mate, love the backstory behind some of the places. Cheers from Romania.
This neighborhood sucks tbh everyone is rude
I'm amazed how folks don't realize that when in public they are under constant surveillance. The majority of those buildings have cameras! Not to mention red-light cameras.
YOur videos are just fantastic! Nailing it every single time
You are a national treasure.

Love that mall!
Good Morning, all. I hope you have a great day!

Stop taking pictures...
👉😣👈 of my butt.
Fascinating video. Thank you, A.K.!
I finally got my remote working. I was turning to the left to see what the Elmhurst Food Court looked like. It finally worked, I didn't know what the Food Courts looked like inside. I hope others liked the peeks into the stores as much as I did. Thanks again Kenneth.
thank you.. I am from Queens, NY. left over 40years.
Love Queens!!!! Used to stay in Elmhurst 77th and Broadway when I visit❤️

Wow so cool!
@@ActionKid Used to read the Long Island Press. Painful when it died. Newsday survived but did not like it.
Thank you, this is amazing video!
Nice video and believe it or not but i'am from Middelburg in the Netherlands, what a coincidence. its a nice story btw how the Dutch discover Manhattan and still many names or streets are related.
What's funny is that I went to Elmhurst College-in Elmhurst, Illinois! Nice walk and thanks for sharing!
Great video on the Elmhurst/Chinatown area. One thing I learned is Manhattan is not the only borough with a street named Broadway.
Another walk in capital city of the world New York.Thanks Actionkid always wanted to do a tour of the famous neigbourhood of Queens.
I miss this place so much!
My old neighborhood 😔, put a sad face b/c Broadway Park is down. I was kinda hoping you were going to turn & walk towards 82nd street or Forley Street (around that area)
I lived on Forley Street for most of my childhood & attended PS 89
I so appreciate people like you who take the time to walk around Queens.
When I was younger … walking from Forley St. to Broadway Park or from NewTown HS area to 82nd street was an everyday thing
Now I’m older & live on Long Island, where very few people believe in walking at all
So, thanks again
& if u could go by NewTown HS & that big hill over there (& there was St. Barts over the hill) … & down further, I think was/is Bittern Avenue, towards PS 89
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Sunnyside Queens was my home for twenty years. 46th street, two blocks from Queens Blvd.
Thanks again for the Queens Video. I was born that area at St. John's hospital, which is closed now.
They turned the building into residential units and retail and community space on the lower floors but has remained empty even though residential spaces are in such high demand in Queens. The locals are CREEPED OUT! I only know of one daycare facility as their tenant. I guess they are waiting for NYC newbies who weren't here when it was a hospital. Creepers!
36:00 That theatre was originally opened in 1928 as the Queensboro Theatre....renamed the Elmwood Theatre in 1946.....and closed in 2002
Here's some history about the Queens Center Mall.....it opened in September 1973.....for years prior to that the site was an amusement park named Fairyland.....actually the SECOND park called Fairyland...the first was built on land that is now Lefrak City....Fairyland Queens Blvd opened in 1951 and closed in 1968....it was a cute little park for people that didn't want to schlep for 2 hours in a hot subway to Coney Island
Wow I had no idea it was an amusement park!
I was born in that hospital in 1963. I played ball for HOURS in the park just behind the hospital and the Elmwood. Would love to see video of that
Can you upgrade to Binaural Audio for more immersion feeling? Thx!
EDIT: Never mind, I think it is Stereo anyways
At 19:20 very good tip the combined Asian restaurants "Hong Kong Food Court of Elmhurst" (82-02 45 Ave) Sure I gonna check it out !!!
That opened already?????
@@vasnisanchez8418 It looks like. I will try it next september. Ruud Mulder The Netherlands
Thanks for taking us here. I plan to visit Malaysian/Singaporean restaurants in the area :D
Love the tour I ride my bike around there may I swear I could have seen you
Saludos desde España.
Me ha gustado mucho tu vídeo.
Ahí va mi like.
Great walk thanks
Thanks bro! I grew up on 81-11 45th ave playing handball on bway park. Seems like I’m watching an episode of the twilight zone
Gracias amigo.
Espero con impaciencia tu próximo vídeo.
At 12:00 you are standing at the corner of Pettit Ave & Broadway. That "supermarket" used to be a Duane Reade branch but they ran out of business.
Eres una persona buena te felicito que maravilla esas caminadas mostrando los barrios o los sitios es increíble muchas gracias
I used to play baseball as a little kid in the park across Elmhurst Hospital back in the early 90s.
In 2014 I was there, 'Aroma de Café", colombian restaurant. Good memories 👍
Very good historic description, I have one correction however, the name Newtown was chosen to differentiate the new settlement from what was the original settlement along Maspeth Creek. That settlement had been destroyed in an Indian raid and many of the settlers were killed.
Thanks for the correction!
Lady with the umbrella said stop taking picture 😂
Nice video .. but you need to spin around so folks can take in the view, I enjoyed this one because it was more random ... with cars and trucks in it ... not just people ... and I liked the buildings too.
You know Elmhurst better than me and I lived here for almost all my 15 years of life and I saw a few of my friends here
do you still use your Panasonic Camera?
Yes I still do when I am recording or taking pictures of special events.
Great video ! 👍👍👍 Thank you !
Love my neighborhood elmhurst queens
great video i live on 90th street on corona avenue!!!
34:10...that Macy's was actually around since 1965.... I've spent many a day sitting on those ledges waiting and waiting and waiting for the westbound Q60 bus.
Thinking of visiting in Oct, how's the weather during that time?
The weather averages about 60F in October. It’s very comfortable.
@@ActionKid Thanks!
At 03.24 you talk about "Middelburg". It's the capital city of the Dutch provincie 'Zeeland" in the south-west of the Netherlands.
Aroma de café, it's a Colombian bakery. Awasome. I remember it!
I would go to that white Castle in the 60s they were $ 10 cents- when they had car hops- The original Macys would have been a perfect circle but the home that was there would not allow them to build over the corner of their yard-
Los felicito la primera vez que veo un video con esa cámara me dio escalofríos muchas gracias
Certain areas look almost exactly the same as Johannesburg, except a bit cleaner.
If you see Doug Heffernan or his wife Carrie, be sure to tell them hello for me.
I remember this playground
this is so refreshing. i live in india and if i ever decide to do a walking tour here all you'd see is poor public infrastructure, filth, noise, and chaos.
watching your videos on my TV .... 💝👍
Great morniing walk for me..i truly enjoy...can anyone recommend a airbnb in the area ..feel so peaceful there..as i am planning a visit just need a affordable place to stay..thanks

You need to tell that lady she's in the wrong country if she thinks you shouldn't videolog your walks.
Queens babyyyyy yeahhhhhhh
