When I was homeless and living in a Brooklyn shelter, I would end up spending a lot of time hanging in the area at the start of your video. I finally got an apartment in the Bronx two years ago and haven't been back to Brooklyn since, but if these are not exactly happy memories for me, your video reminds me how much I have to be grateful for, to be safe and off the streets and out of a shelter and yes, quite happy for my ability to self-isolate. In the words of an old song, "Living alone in a room of my own is heaven enough for me". God bless us, every one, and these days especially those still seeking refuge.
New York is slowly getting back to normal. Side note: You mentioned Junior's Cheesecake. I went to Junior's for the first time last year on a desert tour in Times Square. It was delicious!! Thanks for another great video. 😎
Thank you SO much for this Alex. These are the streets I walked almost daily when living there up until January; for six years. My stomping grounds. Lol. I miss NY daily and you just helped me. Felt like I was there by watching this. Keep doing this.
Loved this channel straight away, but just realised it is also a historic opportunity to see the REAL New York, i.e.without the TOURISTS. Which is what many tourists themselves want but don't get. Thank you!
Nice job!! I'm a senior citizen, born/raised/NYC/NY'er, EX-PAT. You should have seen that area/s 50 years ago, compared to today. The Williamsburg Bank was my parents home mortgage bank 65 years ago.
These videos are amazing! I live in a small boring city in Canada and I love seeing big-ass cities with endless stuff to do. NOICE! :D +Like +Subscriber Keep it up!
I haven't seen you walk Columbia street in the area of #470, as well as the Clinton theater and PS 27 school-I used to live there when I was a kid back in the very early 1950's would like to see what it looks like today thank you Action Kid
Unfortunately restaurants are doomed to fail, can only eat outside until November then the cold. So many place's will be looking to be shut done for a full year at least, too bad.
how come some food markets are allowed to be open ( like City Point Market) yet other markets are not allowed to be open (earlier in your video)? I did see early one restaurant that had outdoor seating but there was at least one indoor food eatery that was closed. Is it because of contacts ,or personal refs or money bribes on the side?
One "theme" I found out when catching up with locals is restaurant owners getting COVID and dying. That often seems to correspond to a restaurant that is still closed. Not everyone, it's hard to tell unless you know them or someone who talks about it, but it seems common. Even some of the ones who are still here had experiences from asymptomatic anti-body positive test to hospitalization. One by me seemed to have gotten damaged pretty bad that he shot himself afterward.
Downtown Brooklyn is quickly morphing into a replica of Manhattan with all the new high-rise apt. construction and chic shops/restaurants. Sadly loosing its old character tbh.
The beauty of New York @14:53 - 14:59 you see a Spanish mother with her child, a Jew, Some African American teens all waiting to go into a store founded by a Swede and being filmed by an Asian American.
@@bayshore1whe118 I'm born Parkchester, Bronx, way back, in the day. I was raised in Deer Park. I was in Deer Park High School when McDonalds opened on Deer Park Ave. in 1970. I'm sure you've seen it living in Bayshore. Moved into Bay Ridge at age 19 with a one-bedroom apt. That's how I know your former neighborhood in the 1970s. Atlantic Ave.? LIRR trips, back & forth, visiting family/home in Deer Park. You're so spot on with the gentrification that occurred. Enjoy Long Island!! I'm elsewhere in the world now.

Not getting to normal soon enough, we cancel our annual two weeks summer vacation to New York because you have to be garretine for 14 days after entering New York. Let me know when it's back to normal!
Dude, you guys really think it's wise to reopen? NYC alone has more cases than my whole state. Kinda weird that people are out and about acting like nothings going on.
At this point, it seems a lot of ppl already got it (most circa March is my guess). In certain areas, anti-body tests show 30+%. They are now saying anti-bodies drop too, but T-Cell Memory sticks around (expensive to test). It also accounts for a lot of asymptomatics without anti-bodies. And maybe the protests not causing a spike MIGHT be an indicator? But we are the first ones to approach "Herd Immunity", although by accident. In Sweden, they did it on purpose and have single digit death rate nowadays. The risk is still there, but it's much lower I presume.
I accidentally ended up on Fulton under the damn biggie smalls mural with my phone on 1% at 4am in February 2021 with the subways closed so men in hazmat suits could spray random chemicals & it was a really unique experience. 4/5 stars if you’re not bitch made because the creatures that crawl out of the sewers are semi-aggressive but I’m from Florida so I see that type of crazy every 20 minutes so it wasn’t incredibly shocking nor impressive. I really just wanted one drink in Manhattan but I mean…shit happens. 🤷♀️

Keep up the good work. I like narration on history, buildings, stores, etc. relaxing to watch and listen.
I'm sitting at home in England watching these wonderful videos that you make, thank you for showing me round New York!

I want back to NYC. In this case Brooklyn. 👊
NYC have the widest sidewalks amongst all major cities in the world.

The equipment is listed in the video description.

Your description of what a sheriff does sounds like something out of a novel from the XIX century haha

Wonderful 🥰🥰🥰 nice

Good Morning 🌄 !
Gentrification!!! Fulton Street did not look like that growing up in Brooklyn back in the 80s and 90s.
Are you out in Bayshore? I recall Fulton St. from the 1970s. When I lived in Bay Ridge.
J B yes !!! I was born and raised in Brooklyn and now living in bay shore since 1998.
I grew up in that neighborhood . Lived there from the 70s to the late 90s.

What's up,Kid??!!!🌞
Dude, you guys really think it's wise to reopen? NYC alone has more cases than my whole state. Kinda weird that people are out and about acting like nothings going on.
NO, NYC does Not have high cases now. We are opening SLOWLY. If the cases of virus rise, then we will pull back.
At this point, it seems a lot of ppl already got it (most circa March is my guess). In certain areas, anti-body tests show 30+%. They are now saying anti-bodies drop too, but T-Cell Memory sticks around (expensive to test). It also accounts for a lot of asymptomatics without anti-bodies.
