We're all probably from the first generations in humanity's history that can dip back into the past like this -- complete with sound and high quality video. I wonder if it'd be better if we couldn't.

"1999 was the peak of human civilization"

I could see Titanic was playing at the movie theater!

This looks more modern than 00’s footage of NYC

Elvis Perezly was the greatest mexican singer ever.

I bought this car for the wife in 1981 with 4,900 miles on the odometer. It was a "Niel Lehr Cadillac" dealer demo in new condition. The dealer ordered the car with the wire hub caps as well. If the car had the "wire spoke" wheels, I would not have purchased the car. These Cadillac wire hubcaps look better than real wire wheels.

Wondering if there was tourists inside the WTC during 9/11!!

23:48..Gas 1.45$ in Manhattan 🥲

Less people in the street compared to now

Good afternoon from Boston 1:58

I first came to NYC at, age 10, in the summer of 1999. I remembered it being fun, glamorous, and exciting. Then, in 2007, I moved to the city for college, and lived here ever since. Today, in 2024, the city looks depressing and not the same anymore. Technology, social media, and the Covid pandemic changed everything. I wish the city we used to love would come back.

Too sad😢😮😢😢😢😢

I was in my 2nd full year working for Choice Courier but transferred from the midtown to the downtown office since they wanted rooks to start in Midtown and the vets in Downtown office. To make the same money as I was doing trips for midtown, I was doing extra local trips. They cut my check in February, and since I was the breadwinner for my mom & my sister, I had to get extra money. 1997 was also the year I went to 8 Yankee games, reunited with my best friend. My big sister moved to Jersey, but she stood around the metro until 2004.

Man this is the NYC I moved to. Watching this video it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. A lot is the same but at the same time so much has changed.

Now this is how I really envision NYC. Even here in 2024

Great colorization and restoration: so sad, when you think about it, that none of the people shown in this video are still with us, for generations, even though they seem so alive and contemporary in this video. One can imagine their descendants still walking among us, but with the passage of time, mortality takes us all and we at least have their preservation in memory and their images captured forever in this video; in that sense they truly do live on. It is truly amazing how this video can revive the past and these lives that have long since left our midst are brought back to life before our very eyes as if they were still with us, an incredible feat of modern technology.

Compared with today the 90's seem like a dream world... like a beautiful dream world which is lost forever and only lives on in our memories and hearts. 2020-24 seems like a nightmare compared to this beautiful footage and not just because of the pandemic, the inflation or the war in Ukraine, in general!!!!

At 1:14:15 mark, the carriage driver lady is Therese and the horse is Margaret. She left the carriages the following year after driving for a decade. She went back to her hometown of Topeka in Kansas and became a lawyer. She's still there.

❤ Beautiful priceless moments to remember at heart ❤️

Good footage! Thank you!

It feels like every decade gets a little bit shitty and something of value was lost. Born in 95 so honestly my memory is extremely fussy but i do get extreme glimpses sometimes. Gonna be 30 in 25 and now it feels like where gonna start another depression to create a another war in order to dump the bad money cause our ass ain't paying for nothing. We don't have enough gold nor physical assets to cover interest so run up the credit card and wait to the longest day to pay for it. Get out of the country and let the voters fight it out. 9/11 was them kicking in the door to freedom and rights with the intent to take over, which we did because Peace time was done and its time to make money from wars.

El año en que naci

Nice film!

Still working?

CIRCA OF 1995 WAS A BETTER YEAR. CIRCA OF 1997 GULIANA STARTED CLEANING UP NEW YORK CITY. THATS WHEN GENTRIFICATION STARTED TO HAPPEN.

What a great time to live in NYC in the late 1990's...the city was vibrant, Yankees were dominant, you could go everywhere and do anything. Thanks for the memories...

I wish I were in my late 40s...😮

1997 is the definition of 90s. A truly special year! The 90s were great!

Vaporwave material 💯

What a awesome video footage of NYc!

Gods. I feel old... Most of the major places have changed. The Buildings remain, save a couple.

Is this vehicle still available for sale.

Where are you located at!

So sad, that view from the WTC will never be seen again.

The trees really look good. And I also love the ice skating too. And everybody are just getting a long and enjoying themselves.

Those ships really looks nice and so sharp.

And I really like the Statue of Liberty.

This was such a nice video and I really like how New York was looking. To this day it still looks good.

I was only 20 years old when this video was first recorded.

Is this place at the end, Universal Studios, or the Disneyland parking lot? It looks like Disneyland because of the monorail line I see and I didn't know Universal Studios had a monorail.

I recognize that steamroller @ 1:42, it's the one George was based on.

New York is living, isn’t it ?

Documenting my life so I can look back in 20 years and have videos like this ✨❤️
