- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- We camp at Liberty Harbor RV Park, in Jersey City and from there it is a very easy commute to Manhattan. We visit the 911 Memorial, One World Observatory at the new World Trade Center. Then we take a walk on the High Line, and then wander around Chelsea and Gramercy, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the Big Apple.

I love seeing New York through your eyes. Thank you.
You're welcome
We moved to New York back in 1955. My father was a construction electrican. We moved across the bay from NYC to Rockaway Beach. We lived up there for 4 years. We came back to Tennessee to get our trailer and moved across the river to a trailer park in Bayonne, New Jersey. My mother and I would get on bus and go shopping in NYC. My mother was on The Price is Right in 1958. We moved back to Tennessee in 1959. My Mother and I did not want to leave But my father got traansferred to a job here. I like your channel. Hope you have a wonderful week.
Thank you for the new video Robert. We always enjoy watching them. "Fly pelican fly!"
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow!! Robert, your trip brings back memories, NY, my hometown after my Peter Pan flight from my country Cuba . I used to work by the World Trade Center right before 9/11
Robert Your trip inspired me. God bless you!
Finally you show the more urban side of New Jersey.
New York guy to watch is actionkid on TH-cam. He walks around and gives hints for good food at reasonable prices. Good video Robert. Thanks
Another great video. We were there in July of 2018. Liberty Harbor is a good deal for where and what it is. We took the Path for a few days into NYC. And the other ferry to Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty. After 3 days of underground traveling the ferry is the way to go.
Yes the 911 memorial is amazing I’ve never heard so much silence. Even though there were little kids in there there was no screaming. It was as if they knew to be quiet and respectful. Very somber and a good way to remember those that perished!
The best tour of NYC that I have ever seen
Thank you!
Thank you Robert for going up the tower observatory even dough it was not that clear. I had friends or friends who lost loved ones on 9/11.
Wife's grandfather was a 30 yr..NAVY man...Kenneth Mark Schwing.R.I.P.A combined total of 45 yrs.of active duty...
That's so cool there was RV parking so close to down town!
Binge watching your travels today. . .seeing the congestion of NYC compared to Slab City is crazy! Thank you👏
We have a very diverse country, that's for sure.
Great to see you back on the road again. Would like to see more about your new truck.
Jersey is my home and NY was my play ground growing up. Really enjoyed watching you explore, havent been home or NY since 911. I moved south but keep traveling cause I am watching 👍👍👍.
Glad you enjoyed it
Robert... This was just awesome! You are so very talented! I love love your singing. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and adventures with us
We enjoyed your video Robert.What a beautiful building in New York. Thank you to you and your family for your share of videos. Do not ever think we do not appreciate you and your wonderful work. Have a great week Robert to you and your wonderful mother, wife and son. We look forward to finding out what
you buy for a truck...Bye for now...Nice music.....Carolyn and Colin Hogarth
Hi Robert! New viewer here. My husband and I love watching your long road trips. We too, have a travel trailer. You motivate us to do more traveling. No body in our family understands "Driving to the west,into the sunset...". It's forever stuck in our heads. LOL Safe travels. Keep on traveling.
I'm sorry about the song stuck in your head LOL. Thank you , glad you liked it, and see you on the road
If you are ever in Arizona again, check out the Huachuca Mts outside of Sierra Vista.
Hey!! Just stumbled across your channel - it's amazing. It's our plan for the near future to do exactly what you are doing, and it's so inspirational to see you doing just that - power to you..... thanks for making us see that our dream can actually become a reality. New subscribers following your journey for sure! Hope you're having an awesome day :)
Next time you're in the Philadelphia area you really should head to New Hope Pennsylvania... that whole area around there this fascinating and Bucks County is marvelous although I haven't lived there in a long time but was fortunate enough to do so years ago back when it was still a lot of gorgeous truly breathtaking land and a community with artists writers and farmers.
Although it has changed immensely people tell me it's still great to go there and you might want to check out the area and River Road traveling north from New Hope .
Also when I was listening to your live stream Saturday afternoon and at the end you did your song... I really liked it so much better than the one that is at the beginning of most of your videos.
I really wish someday when you have the time you will change the song at the beginning so that it is more authentic and we hear you and your personal style, your personal stamp on it .
I have to go to NY from NJ for work all the time. Nothing romantic about it if you live in it. Great place to visit as a tourist since it is very unique and has a lot to offer...but working there is a huge hassle.
I guess most places are the same. I can say the same about Miami, great to visit, not so great to live it.
Stay in Jersey.
I used to live in South Florida (Plantation west of Ftl), so I know! Born and raised in Broward and just recently moved to the Charlotte area. I do miss good Cuban Food though and even though I really enjoy the outer banks of NC (OBX), still spoiled by the SoFlo beaches.
Oh, we looked online at the same park you stayed in in North Jersey as a spot to land when we come up to work. Glad you showed it to us! BTW, I have been binge watching your videos...very enjoyable. Next time you are in the Mooresville or Charlotte area, reach out...I have a very nice space with water and electric for you and would be happy to show you around Lake Norman!
What can I say Robert but that was an exceptional video. Wow....
I like your voiece lol I got your song stuck in my head for weeks now lol
Thank you
I love your videos Robert. I remember when I was in NYC the last year.
What a wonderful visit to The Big Apple! I used to travel to NYC every couple of weeks....used to meet my colleague coming off the PATH train into the Twin Towers from Jersey. As a group we would enjoy a drink at the Windows on the World after the work day. Still terribly sad seeing the absense of the towers although I enjoyed seeing your footage of One World Trade Center. Also love see the Skyline ....on my bucket list. Nice seeing you and Ileana in the reflection ....very creative! You are right .....no place like New York. Thanks Robert!
Hi, Robert ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome traveling adventure tour of New York, I’ve never been to NYC and your video was amazing, that elevator was so cool in the One World Trade Center and the view from the top was spectacular. I’m glad the weather was good so you walk around the city and see all the amazing sights. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny
Thank you. Typically NYC is presented with such hype and bravado that I can take only about five seconds of it. You made NYC feel like a real place on earth, where real people eat, sleep and work--not just a place for celebrities, billionaires, and over-priced, over-rated stuff. Thanks to you, I feel I could visit there as just another place in time, an unbiased sense of history and geography. Someone commented below that you reminded him of Anthony Bourdain; and I agree, except that his hometown, NYC, is the one place on earth where even he would not convey his usual sense that we all share a common humanity.
New York City is where you will understand that we all share a common humanity THE MOST. You need to come to NYC and visit all the five boroughs and neighborhoods. You will learn more about America and the world than driving through five midwestern states.
Gives me the cold sweats thinnking about trying to pull anywhere to major cities of the east coast. Think Ill stay out here in the west.
Beautiful train station. I love the architecture of the building inside and out. One World Trade Center looks awesome! The elevator reminds me of Soaring at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Definitely a trip I would like to do with my RV.
Very,very nice video about New York 👍🏻Thanks for sharing !
I really enjoyed this one and oddly enough the last time I was in Manhattan was September 25th 2001.
We were at the top of the World Trade Towers back around July 4th 1986... and even though I enjoyed the view I had to spend most of it sitting down.... because it felt like my legs had turned to Jell-O.
Thanks for this excellent and fun vid ....that Highline was really cool . Seeing and hearing you at the piano at the nephew's apartment was a wonderful bonus !
Very well done
Best one yet!(as I'm a New Yorker by birth!)
34:56 “We get to spy on his neighbors, LOL I DIED LAUGHING!
🌞awesome video as always🌞🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you!
Elevator was really impressive! And Highline - wish i'll visit it sometimes..
Definitely worth a visit
Very entertaining and informative video Robert. Thank you for sharing you traveling experience. NY is in my family planning trip, but definitely I need to get in a better shape with all the walking 👍☺️.
great video of the city! totally enjoyed it.
Just Great as usual! thanks
I use your videos to learn English! Grateful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad to help
Me too! 🤓
Very good editing, i wish i new how to make good youtube videos. Enjoyed watching
It would have broke Dad's heart because there was a military comm.post at the top of one of the buildings...
Great video thanks for sharing
Welcome to New Jersey! I Just missed you. Just returned from Vermont recording the fall foliage in Smugglers Notch State Park. Give us a holler if ya make it near Atlantic City NJ. Shu
Dude, I knew you could make some good videos, but sing too. Who would have thunk that? I suppose you can dance too. I will admit to being a bit of a country bumpkin and I find New York city a bit intimidating. So this was very enjoyable.
Another great video! Wanted to ask, have you ever been to Katz's Deli? If not, you have to put it on your list for your next trip to NYC. And I would suggest you have to get a pastrami sandwich there. On my list of best things I have ever eaten. Bit expensive at about 20 bucks, but one will feed two people very well. Quite the experience too, you really have to pay close attention to the ordering/billing rules.
Great video as always. Not a city fan. I prefer seeing mountains or islands or something but cities are ok.
Wonderful video!
What kinds of cameras did you use for this video?
Mostly Sony FDR AX53, for some wide and selfie shots Sony X3000, and there's a couple of shots done with the Samsung Galaxy S9, and me playing the piano at the apartment is iPhone 7
You should have gone in Federal Hall! A free but small museum inside. Federal Hall in New York City was home to Congress for a total of about four years. Call it our 8th capitol. It's where Washington had his inauguration as the first President of the United States. And the 911 museum is well worth the visit but you have to reserve tickets in advance. The Docents are mostly people who were there at the attack by Followers of Islam and the docents are walking history. I like your videos because it seems like it is me walking around!
You mean Terrorists.
Which can be "followers" of any religion. Example the KKK,
Followers of Christianity.
Try to enjoy this excellent video and give racist crap a break.
Hey Robert, If you ever want to travel to upstate NY . I have some land and a spot for two RVs. I can even give you a water hook up. I am not to far from Watkins Glen and the beautiful waterfalls of Ithaca. give me a shout out if you need a place to mooch-dock. LOL
I live close to Endicott, ny The carousel capital of the U.S.
9/11 Memorial memorial🗽 🚢🏢 2022 Jun 2
any drive in new york is stressful ha ha ha
New York city
Hi,Roberto where are you from?nice video 👍
I was born in Cuba
Very nice video. Haven't been to NYC since 2015. That was my first trip to ground zero. I had only planned to be there an hour and keep touring Manhattan, and visit central park..........8 hours later reading each name on the memorial pools and spending the rest of the day at the museum.........it was just very moving since I'm a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan and continue to serve with the US Department of State. I want to say this though......you mentioned the memorial pools being the towers....yes they are a representation but its actually the museum that is the lasting footprint of the towers. Check out my FB page since we are friends over there and you can see all the pictures I posted in an album of my museum visit. You can see the old columns, supports and a preserved staircase; among many other preserved timepieces of that historic tragic day. Very humbling.
I must say these parking lot RV spots just blow my mind! Excellent episode Robert, thank you for sharing. Misty and I are planning a trip in our Cessna 182 next summer. We are looking forward to the aerial views and flying the special VFR corridor up the Hudson river a ways.
Who was that pianst ? Lol 😎
The Piano Man 😜🎹
275 what ?!??
Too many people, too many buildings in such close quarters.
Train station for me look like whale chest bones thanks 👍
That's was my first impression too
The statue of Liberty is nothing more than the Greek god Venus, the bare breasted fertility goddess. The statue for Justice and the statue on top of the Capital building, the War goddess, all the same being Venus in the bible her real name Shinar. She's also the image on Starbucks. Look up original sign for Starbucks. Shocker!
Nice Building, One Trade Center, Did they use cheap Chinese material, quality were,. ... Hmmm ...
Luckily Irony Mosque Disqualified to Build next to it. If Not, So Ridiculously mocking deceased victims.
But still, nice to watch Your video.
Glad you liked it
Great video Robert. This is professional documentary quality.
Your thoughts about NYC made me tear up a bit, it reminded me of the reflections of the late Anthony Bourdain in his travel channel and CNN shows.
You should incorporate more singing in your videos, I like it. I used to work with a woman who had a beautiful singing voice and it was a wonderful calming experience every time she did.
Thank you, I think I will
Yes it was really fun seeing him at the piano towards the end
Your channel is pretty unique.
Great video Robert! Happy to be a Pelican Head!
I absolutely enjoy your narrative, your voice and your accent
Great video Robert I’m glad you got to experience The Fast life of NY city. My wife is from Newark NJ and I got family in Brooklyn and Manhattan and at of all NY city I find that Central Park is truly a special place to visit.. now I’m down in the sunshine state it will be a long time before I go up there.. now I’m heading west 🙌😁👍 great job
I'm 2 minutes in watching your video and love it! Wished I could visit New York City but, it's not possible.
Great Review of Liberty Harbor and NYC.
For those who choose the “No Tolls” option it will route you on the GSP (Garden State Parkway) and few other roads that are not conducive to larger RV’s.
Howdy Robert,many thanks for sharing yet another Morales Superproduction here which I watched,as usual, with great pleasure and undivided attention just now.A real 'titbit' to the eye and ear,surely,bud..Best wishes and cordial greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe
Hi Robert, I can't find your chat but will put my comment on here....I dreamt about the name of your truck all night...LOL. Here are some more names...
Instead of Pal of mine...Pal o or "Palo - Minnie," "Minnie driver," "minnie - minor," minnie & mickey....Shall I go on. If I did not write those names down here to you, these names would have floated around like a ear worm all day.....LOL...I know your creative and will understand how something like that floats
around until you give it, it's own life. Have a good day to you and your family. I do hope you find an appropriate name for your truck....Carolyn and Colin
I have done NY several times, first time seeing the new train station and the Highline.
The Museums on 5th Ave are all a must see.
Thanks for sharing.
That was very enjoyable!
Very nice I totally enjoyed it you have to do the Bronx next time and see the High Bridge that crosses over the Harlem River it was an aqueduct at one time for Manhattan feeding the whole island is swimming pool used to be a reservoir that empty down to the southern Reservoir which is at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue which is now today to New York Public Library it's lots of History around this town hope you enjoyed your stay
34:56 Lets have dinner, Oh Look Traveling Robert is spying on us!
good one Robert.Dad died on Aug 5 2001 just before 911...best I've seen of ground 0...Jerry l Sr.Spc.6 1st class field and staff Sgt.US ARMY.15 yrs active duty...R.I.P. 1960-1975 Korean War
Korean War.
Leaving you another comment. Thank you for sharing your New York video! You've taken me somewhere I'll never get to see in person.
I'm so glad you liked it
Robert, your video reminded me growing up in metro NYC, lived a short time in Manhattan after arriving from Cuba in late 60's. @24:26 weird white building across street, I performed service call at that building and several firms at original WTC in the 80's. I used to ride my motorcycle to JC RV park/marina. Using a motorcycle is a fast and efficient way to travel in metro NY, specially into Manhattan, parking's easy and free, plus tolls are way less than cars on tunnels/bridges. Safe travels.
Thank you. Driving a motorcycle in Manhattan sounds dangerous though
I could never do a trip by myself as you did... The breakdown of your tow vehicle and finding a replacement and then continuing on... New York by yourself... I would have been just overwhelmed... Good job... Great video... 😯
Not my favorite way to travel. In Philly and New York I was joined by my wife but she doesn't like to be on camera.
9/11 Memorial memorial🗽🚢
JESUS made ✝️ wow The clear video the camera angle your comments along with hearing the music selection working together really make your channel special
I'm french and this is such a pleasure for me to watch and ear you in order to improve my english!
Glad you find it useful. Thank you!
NJ Turnpike is expensive and so is the NJ Garden State Parkway (GSP) based on number of axles. Robert, your avoidance of the turnpike by going on US route 1 north (not a highway, very slow and congested most of the way in both directions) put you on a small section of the NJ GSP that does not have tolls. Most of the NJ GSP is a toll road also charging more for axles. I-78 is a much faster non toll road especially when compared to the truck route you were on in Jersey City. Bridges and tunnels into NYC are expensive but usually free returning to NJ. I agree going and coming from NY at the point where you were does get stressful because of lane changes and options needing to be made unexpectedly and quickly.
The Tapenzee is a much less stressful and scenic way to continue north avoiding NYC. Round-trip toll collected southbound; no toll collected on northbound trips on Tapenzee. I love the scenic quiet difference on The Tapenzee.
You are lucky you did not get pulled over. I don’t think that trailers are allowed on The Garden State Parkway or any Parkways in the Tri-State area.
Actually they are allowed as long as you’re under 65 feet you’re thinking of commercial trucks which aren’t allowed
Trucks can't go on parkways, trailers can.
I grew up in NJ and never saw a trailer on the GSP. I thought they weren't allowed until I saw the comment from Sterling Marshel. Never knew that. By the way, exit 119 on the GSP (bad joke)
Thanks, I love the video! I’d rather tour NY via video. Looks like the F250 still performing well.
Trains at 34th are the LIRR. Good way to get out east.
Yep! Long Island Railroad layover yard.
Any time we go to NYC the subway is best. My aunt drove one time and it took 45 mins to go 4 blocks
Great video and safe travel my friend bye
Thank you!
2021----Robert has become a roving Ambassador for Winnebago...He now
drives a black Colorado...and Minitini III...2021 travel is the East
coast....maybe all the way to Maine...
Thanks for the info. Plan to travel to NYC in future
#236 Thanks, Robert, fpr taking me along. I cannot walk well, so this video was a welcome sight. The new Tower was most impressive. Hey! The Winnebago Trend 23B is like the one I have, and I have 63,511 miles on it with plenty more to go! I agree with your presentation and thoughts about New York City.
Im from The Netherlands, Rotterdam , I hope one day I can visit New York, through your amazing video I could see it already !!!, , thanksssss,., how about the public toilets in New York if you have PDS like me, Ihad surgery s on the intestines and Liver and now and then it s horrible if there aren t any toilets when you need one................................,. o m g,.
I was very interested to see Liberty Harbor RV Park as if I visit NYC again it will be when I am renting an RV in the USA. I was last in NYC back in October 2016 and I worked there for some months (for a UK company) back in the early 90s. I confess I preferred NYC in the early 90s because the areas that interested me such as the village were still vibrant with alternative stuff whereas today these places have all been gentrified.
I was at that exact same park (Liberty Harbor RV park) back in June of 2018. I remember you had to check out by 11 a.m. or they would literally charge you for another day even if you were 10 minutes late checking out. Also, no sewer hookup we had to make a line the next day to dump at the only one station they had (which was a very messy area). On the plus side, it was close to Manhattan and we were able to travel back and forth on the NY Waterway ferries.
Man, the human river bit was deep.
Bom dia ! MR Robert DEUS Abençoe você e sua Linda família ! Sucesso !
Thanks for transporting me to places I can only dream about...watching from Cape Town South Africa during lockdown. Love your singing👌
I recently discovered Traveling Robert and his fabulous videos and music. Like him putting a sticker on each state he visits, I am going to post this comment on all the ones I watch! You da Man, Robert!!
My favorite city.....worked in the financial district in New York, but lived in Jersey. Just a girl from the Midwest
Nice video as always. Something I noticed, was it your photography style or was there a decided lack of graffiti for NYC? Usually it's everywhere.
