This is like your watching zoom

I love that these are all from different years and yet Phantom, Lion King, and Les Mis stand tall in each of them

Born and raised in Manhattan - 1971

Disgusting to know that this was the same beautiful city from 1935, that in the midst of a long lasting great depression, looked extremely clean, extremely wealthy, and extremely mature, elegant, and gracious to the people.

Interesting footage seeing horseback riding in Central Park, everything else...capped off with I luv NY.

I was born in 1969. I am blessed to have grown up in the best of the last two decades. Nothing like the 70s and 80s.

The footage looks way earlier than 2002- If it's the '70's, why the 2002 title??

sesame street alert

The most famous of New York in the !960s, 70s, 80, and 90s! Love this video!

This New York ended after 9/11. This is very sad.

NINETIES are gem..

amazing 1990, iconic place used in many movies

It's Howdy Doody Time too.

What was this badly edited propaganda film. Unwatchable

Thank you

3:51 What happened? 3rd-world filth injected into the U.S. by the Hart-Celler Immigration Act of 1965.... THAT'S what happened.

'Promo sm'

Around 10:12, the zipper in the background was displaying a 'square' type font from Naxon Telesign which in its shape dated all the way to 1939. It was because of the way many of the characters were shaped that, in 1964-65, Telesign created a "round" type variant which was used on that zipper from 1965 to 1971, and for occasions like New Year's Day until 1977. That clip was from New Year's Day 1983.

☺☺☺👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍

I miss old NYC. Going to the movies usually meant seeing a double feature for $2.50. Riding the subway for 25 cents. Neighborhood games tailored around the concrete jungle: Hot peas and butter, Red light, green light 1-2-3, stickball, stoop ball, tag. RCK. Girls jumping double dutch, hopscotch, monkey bars. Water guns in the summer, eating bags of candy (twinkies tasted like twinkies lol). Unfortunately, racism, hatred hasn't gone away. However there was more respect for one another back then. If you had a fight with someone you did it with your hands straight up. Then later sat down, laughed and compared who got the worse of the fight. Now you don't have to even think about anything to get shot. Smh. Less regard for seat belts (shh!, lol). Bursting with excitement and anticipation when the rides at Coney Island were starting to come into view as the D train got closer.

As an Englishman who visited your wonderful city and vegas too under the trump administration it was brilliant. Now? You will never get me there while you have that fool for president and vice president in charge absolutely killing your reputation everyday and everywhere.

Childhood in the 70's reminds me of my childhood in the 80's. Just like those kids playing hockey in the middle on the street. I never wear a helmet while roller skating. Ja!

I'm a Midwesterner, but lived in the area from 1989-2000. I worked in Sunset Park the first year, and lived in Bay Ridge. Sometimes I wish I'd bought one of those Sunset Brownstone or Greystone buildings for a Song. Now that the area is (mostly) Gentrified, some go for Three Million Dollars(!) Those tenement slums at the ten minute mark look like Charlotte Street in the South Bronx, before that block (And MANY others in the Borough) completely burned to the Ground. I guess it could have been the East Village, Too, before they gut-renovated the area.

It’s really cool to watch this. Living here and seeing the people now vs this video… I can see why old people loved their days. This looks way better than todays world

FastForwarded through it. That cabbie at 1:30 looks and sounds like Joe Pesci!

Nothing beat growing up in NYC! As a kid I learned that there were so many different kinds of people from all different places over the planet. We were respectful of our elders, we'd hold doors open, we'd say PLEASE, MAY I and THANK YOU. We didn't destroy property, we did not ignore the 'peace officers' *YES that's what we called the cops back then*. We left our doors open because we knew everyone in the building and up and down the block! That's the city I love at a time when it was soooo damn good to be living there. I loved the sounds of the trains moving along the tracks, the sound of people walking and talking to one another because there wasn't any damn cell phones. Going to the movies was considered a 'treat' by your parents. I feel bad for the youth of today because they are growing up in a world full of racism, bigotry, hatred and everything that's not so nice at any age.

Why does the top left corner indicate 2003? Was that when the footage was assembled? It is certainly misleading! The movie theater marquee at 37:47 was advertising "Prudence and the Pill" and that's late sixties. For a second I experienced a flash of temporal incongruence

Will just be the early or late 70's?

😩 twins towers no longer exist in NYC

Ils ne le savaient pas et pourtant ils vivaient dans un paradis.

It was a time when you coukd speak your mind in public

God time not tennologia now children stey home not exercice sick fat lasy

37:50 42nd street theaters pre-porn!

Sunny day.... sweepin the clouds away... on my way to where the air is sweet... can you tell me how to get...how to get to....

Great stuff! Some of those great 5th Ave. mansions long torn down are shown here. Since replaced by luxury high-rise apartment buildings.

1:13:57 wow 6 people jumped one after another. I never seen that footage before

Stock footage for documentaries and such.

Health and long life !

Wow we tried this hippy shit before and the 70s was a shit hole decade no thanks it's simple don't fuck up because society doesn't have time for that

Sound familiar fucking Democrats

The only non-immigrant people in the US are black people. Their ancestors were slaves, brought by force to the US to work for free. The slaves brought no culture with them and they can't refer back to the old country.

Cabbie shot a kid to death in NYC for directing water from a hydrant into his cab one hot summer day in the 1970s if memory serves .

Dog.shet

The 5th Avenue Motor Coach Company ended their run on 5th Avenue in the middle of Washington Square Park circling the water fountain.

The skyline of Lower Manhattan is from circa 1960.

I was born in Brooklyn NY in 1961, I miss the places and would go back in time to those days. The 50s, 60s, 70s were great times for kids to grow up in.

It took less than 10 years from the filming of this for the New York city to go to shit. And look at it now, still just another Democrat ran shithole, who would of known Democrats were such scumbag human beings.

39:40 That jingle I use to hear it all the time. The 1970s were about Jingles. Even the News Stations had it.

This is 1970s Harlem. The 1980s Harlem was much, much worse. And the early 90s, it reached rock bottom. 19:52

At least all the trains weren't graffitied. The south Bronx was on decline for a long time.
