New York before 9/11 seemed to be more peaceful

It was 1995 when I was born

Hi there! I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out because I wanted to ask you if this video could be used as part of a documentary that I'm working on. The film is about Ukraine, and it also explores the way Western culture influenced the country after the dissolution of the USSR. I hope to hear from you soon!

I wish they still had PEEP LAND (13:46) in Times Square

Old.year😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😔😔😔😔😔😫😫😫😫😫

Thank you ... I can't get enough of these old 1990s videos of NYC... What a great time b/f smartphones and social media! People walking and living... How I miss those days!

This is the most beautiful video I've ever seen. I was born in February 1995 just outside of the city in Connecticut and had gone through absolute hell. Seeing this, the video cameras in the windows, hearing this Pink Floyd song... it brought me back to memories I didn't even remember that I had. Almost as if the spirit of God had touched the very core of my soul that I had lost so many years ago. So much pain and grief all released from this one video. Please, never delete this.

When life was much simpler times when ppl had real conversations and connections technology in a way has help many and has ruined others ppl are more robotic and humans many have lost touch to humanity I miss those days so much and praying things get better but in reality that’s far gone many say well now technology has help many to expose things and ppl that’s the good thing but the bad side of it is we can’t do or say anything without someone taking out a phone and put it on your face and personal space or going out with friends while everyone is on their phones or recording everything they eat,do or say so many things have changed in a way I can’t say I like much I miss the connection I lived those eras and I felt and now the difference between them so I know which one felt better is my opinion others may think different but on my behalf those were better times

Better times in NYC

I always wanted to go to NY but I read that they now force people to be injected with experimental drugs to enter restaurants and cinemas etc. I would have liked to go in this era (90s).

i was 22 days old at the filming of this video

My Birthday. Only 5 years later.

Pretty much nothing changed in Manhattan in all this years , apart the obvious thing that changed ... when I see China megacities growing x2 times whole NYC in just 20 years looking like Cyberpunk 2077 Night City already ... i wonder if West have any chance vs Asia anymore in leading technology and future ,.

awesome video. thank you for sharing it. i started working there in 95 and this is how i remember it.

Боже храни США!

Good times

I can't wait for Putin to flatten it

I miss NYC pre-9/11. From 1993-2011 I worked in the Empire State Building. Fun times.The 90s was the last great decade. Even the Manhattan Mall(formerly A&S Plaza) is gone now.

Can we get a version without the horrible music?

Is Sbarro's pizza still at this same location in Manhattan?

The city had a different vibe before 9/11, Then came the proliferation of the internet, cell phones, social media, LBGQTXYZ, etc.. The world has changed, NOT for the better😢

This looks weirdly hellish

вот и всё, приходит конец вашей Америке

I miss the days when the streets were flooded by yellow taxi cabs

If only there were a way to whisper to someone in this video to model the web as a graph using websites as nodes in that graph and hyperlinks as edges, rank websites by number of incoming edges and build a search engine

Mono it

A simpler time …. remember

👏👏👏👍

Awesome!

Hi, I'm shooting a 1990's scene for my short film. Can I use this video as background footage?

A crazy year especially in Brooklyn

страна тварей разжигающих войны!!!гори в аду страна паразит!!!

Born in 94. Grew up majority of my 20s pre pandemic. Sad to think a new generation will never experience the wonder years of the true New York vibe

Wasn't even born yet, but this feels so nostalgic because of the old American movies I watched

I was 3 years old and causing havoc at home.

Somewhere on planet earth ,….. I was 20 years old. Damn,….. times flies. I’m 47 now.

That Pink Floyd song tho wow omgggg

❤

what song is playing at the end of this video?

What is Anal Plaything at 14:39 ?

I already stopped hanging out on the norm in 1989. I wish I could go back in time. If only for a weekend. I miss, Roseland, 1018, Studio 54, The Fun House, etc. It was a every weekend thing.

Shabbat 😚😎🇮🇱🇮🇱😉😙🇺🇸🇺🇸😃shalom love this pink Floyd the division bell a fantastic hit song love and respect from a former yellow medallion taxi driver who drive taxi on these streets Prince of Manhattan streets we used to drive Chevy caprice classic or Ford crown Victoria or checker cab and dodge diplomat or Plymouth gran fury those days rocked 😚😜😆

i had a wu tang clan t shirt on that year graduated hs in 94

i was there in 95 hahaha some trippy ass shiznit

its weird to start to check videos of the first few times I went in NY...and its anthology now

Yeah same here I agree with Celeste I almost cannot believe that it's has almost literally been 27 years exactly from this particular video 👍I was 3 at that particular time.
