In this vlog I explore the township of Bayonne in Hudson County, NJ. Its my first time in this town, and I am impressed with what I see. Its main street Broadway, is full of shops and restaurants. The streets are pretty wide, and clean. Its a mixture of urban with suburb combined together. Bayonne is mostly a residential area and is close to NYC. The township is served by NJ Transit Light Rail, and borders with Staten Island. Hope you enjoy this video, stay tune for more.

I like Bayonne. I currently live in Jersey City but go to Bayonne every week for an exercise class or grocery shopping. It's pretty quiet, the liveliest day is on Saturday. Mostly residential. Unlike Jersey city and Hoboken it doesn't really have a downtown area where people go to bars or clubs. Definitely more of an older, family feel. The houses and parks are beautiful.
Really nice town, looks like a family oriented town.
What I like about New Jersey is that it looks more like the rest of America than New York City does. If you spend too much time in New York City, you might forget that that’s simply not what the rest of America looks like. New Jersey is a nice “slap back to reality.”
Bayonne never really went down because it was pretty much closed blue collar town. My ex girlfriend told me that back in 1970 when her family bought a house there were very few houses for sale because back then people pretty much stayed where they were at. In recent years Bayonne has become more gentrified especially on the east side by the light rail. The area by Avenue A was considered the poorer side of town. This area has been gentrified in part because of the light rail, attracting people from NYC. What was the Bayonne Military Ocean Terminal was sold by the military and is being developed. There are many condominium apartments and businesses that when I was with my ex people had to go out of town to find similar businesses.
Lived in Bayonne from 85 to 92 so much better back then
Hey Manny you know I’m currently looking at different videos about NYC & NJ so me and the boys can move…I’m really impressed with several different parts of Jersey for me and my boys especially Bayonne! And found out there’s a bus that goes directly into Manhattan from there. ❤️
TY for this amazing tour. Lots of walking you did here.
I was born in Bayonne in the 1950's & my family moved away around 1966-67 area. I have been back several times but am retired now living in FL & have not been there in years.
That huge park was called Hudson County Park in the 1960's then changed to the Bayonne Park years later. Played ball w/my father at that field that was just off the water. That concrete wall along the Newark Bay is original. Many of the beautiful structures are original.
JFK Blvd was originally named Hudson County Blvd but changed to JFK after he was killed in 1963.
Your end walk of the video was my old neighborhood, aka Bergen Point. I did that walk along B'way from W 7th St to W 4th St many times as a kid as I attended the Catholic grammar school associated with that beautiful church you paused at. St Andrews is the name of that church, but I believe the school was sold off & is now part of the Bayonne public schools. Made my 1st Holy Communion there in 1964.
My cousin's old house appears in your video when you are at the very end of B'way at 1st St. Both her & her parents lived there (all now deceased).
Your walk along 1st St in the park has some rich history. Used to be quite run down between B'wy & Ave C, but is now that nice park you walked through. True story...that waterway between SINY & Bayonne is known as The Kill Van Kull. On a very very hot day my buddies wanted to swim in the water, but I opted not to as the water was very very polluted back then. One kid who had an open cut on his leg died in that exact spot where you peeked out from infection soon after swimming in the Kill Van Kull.
At 1st St & Ave C was the Ferry Station that used to crossed over to Staten Island. You actually stepped into the alcove of the old Ferry. The Ferry burned down approx in 1960.
You also strolled through what was known as Uncle Milty's. It was an amusement park that I went to as a very young kid in the early 1960's. It was iconic.
Played baseball at that baseball field at the end of your video & walked across the Bayonne Bridge on Easter Sunday in 1966. The cops yelled at me for walking across alone as a 9 year old. I lived on Humphrey Ave & also on W 7th St. TY so much for this great tour here. Bayonne has some great memories for me as a young kid.
I know you couldn't see everything. You missed the whole eastside where all the new construction is happening. Dozens of new condo and apt. buildings. Shopping malls, businesses, and lots more going up. You did cover our nice neighborhoods and parks though. It was nice to see you enjoyed it too.
I lived there between 2016-17 when I was attending grad school. I used to live right across that big park, always used to go for an evening walk. I used to spot planes flying above the airport across that waters.
It’s a nice location, affordable and easy to commute to places like Jersey city, Hoboken on NJ side & NYC, plenty of options to commute.
i stayed for one year in Bayonne working for TCS,it was quiet place
I’m sold Manny. Loving Bayonne, glad I found your video on it! 📸👌🏾
Bayonne looked kind of dull at first, but once you found those shady streets and that great park it seemed liked a nice place to live. I really like the appreciation you have for the every life of a city or a neighborhood. Good solid neighborhoods are great for families and small businesses.
Bayonne is a great town and perfect for families, thank you, that's what I like to do, explore neighborhoods and appreciate everything the neighborhood has to offer.
Bayonne a great city! 🐝
Indeed it is.
Hey it's Bayonne!! I've been to that park several times.. definitely a cool neighborhood!
Really lovely neighborhood

Thanks for sharing, I will be there in July with the fam, as well for the first time, so, glad you have a video of this beautiful town. Thanks, take care.
Great Video! Thank you 😊
Don't you just love this guy
Bayonne looks nice, and seems like you can walk to Staten Island over that bridge. (But can't walk from Staten to Brooklyn, nor Hudson County to WTC). The ultimate would be if they get more ferries and free shuttle busses so there can be more options to get to WTC and Midtown.
A ferry to Manhattan is due to start this year. I can't remember what part of the city it will dock at
You can 👍👍 You can walk to and from SI to Bayonne. SI is pretty big but you can take a bus to just about anywhere you want to go. Glad you asked.
@@55nfabulousplease how does one take the bus from Bayonne to Brooklyn?

Hi, you popped u🎉p probably cause I live in Bayonne. You showed a good part of it & walked a lot :li but I would have liked it if you spoke to some residents and spoke about Bayonne’s Economy. Also, you missed all the action & development on the East Side. Besides the Light Rail, Bayonne has developed. The old industrial area where we have shopping centers & chain restaurants. There’s a Walmart, Costco, Lowe’s, Houlihans & a steakhouse. We used to have a movie theater across from Houlihans but it went out of business a few years ago. You also should have mentioned our large population, many churches, synagogue,etc. very diverse population but while it’s much more private , safer, 0:06 peaceful & cheaper than living in Jersey City next door, housing prices are ridiculous. Renters cannot afford to rent. We also have a very old, failing hospital & a new, modern Emergency Room affiliated with Jersey City’s Large Medical Center & a new one associated with .Morristown’s Memorial & Summit’s Overlook hospitals. We were settled by the Dutch in the 1600s & our land was part of the oldest settlement in history called Bergen Point. We have bear 70,000 residents with one High School. We had 2 private, Catholic high schools for over 50 years for Marist & near a century for the all-girl’s H.S. Holy Family but both closed recently. We have many public grammar schools but now only 1 private Catholic grammar schools. We used to have 7 throughout the city. We have a great Police Department & a great Fire Department. There’s a lot of pride in the old Bayonne residents but I don’t know about the new people who have come to rent our “luxury” rentals. It’s a Blue-Collar Town - not a Luxury town. Our lawmakers have made dreadful mistakes in developing Bayonne. Here’s hoping they haven’t ruined it. Thanks for coming & showing it off.
I used to live on 25st right down the block from that park,
Its called the veterans park.i miss the ducks walking.
I miss Bayonne i used to live there my kids and i currently reside in Syracuse ny.
Check out 1st Street park next visit (across from Staten Island). Did an amazing job for the kiddos.
Lovely! It would be nice if you can show Fort Lee residencial areas.
I know the area well, wow that was a very long walk you did! You should return and cross Bayonne bridge over to SI. Time it when the massive cargo ships pass below, I'd seen them in the mornings around 10:00 or so, they're impressive up close. Also there is a nice park behind Bayonne High school.
Indeed I walked a lot, ended up tired lol, will definitely have to cross the Bayonne Bridge.

Bro, I grew up in Paterson. I wish Paterson was more like Bayonne
Hopefully someday Paterson can change.
@@MannyExploresVlog doubt that. It's a shit hole and it'll just get worse
Bro I literally live right next to that park at the end of the video
Late Comment, But Love Living in Bayonne
@@OfficialLefnot bayonne is awesome
@@MannyExploresVlog Yeah Park is so Fun I Wish They Added a Skate Park so i'd not have to Go to the End of bayonne to the Other Park That Has one

So many memories at this Park for me, Mom and Dad in The 1980s. Every Sunday back then we would take a ride down From Newark just to spend the day and Relax n Chill......I wouldn't have it any other way. 🥲 #IAMGenX
