Raw video of NYC shot in 1996

No one on a cell phone.. Just walking enjoying life

[@leonarddurecki5988]

Cell phones were just phones back then, no reason to be using them unless you were making a phone call.

[@stevegallant3395]

I wonder if people said that about cars back in the day. People familiar with horse and buggy would say wow no one driving cars excellent

80s and 90s cars were beautiful. early 2000s were still good. but late 2000s to now......

[@amuroray9115]

What about cars now? They look better than early 2000’s

Straight facts. I miss that time

[@skyhigh335]

I certainly miss those rectangular shaped chevy taxis

[@davidb.8948]

One of the best years ever.

[@smallpants]

I was born in 1996 and seeing this makes me feel like I wasn't. The rate of change in culture at the end of the nineties and into the early 2000's makes this era feel completely foreign to the people who were born in it. Especially considering that basically everyone is barely forming memories for the first 3-5 years of life so you're effectively missing an entire era.

No annoying tourists stopping in front of you to take selfish selfies.

Oh wow, this is some good footage.

People watching 2021 clips in 2096: Look, they have some stupid device in their hands.

These where glorious days to live in NY. No virtue signalling, no mobile phones, ordinary people able to afford rent, time square hadn't been completely disneyfied yet etc..

90s was gangsta as hell in New York. Real as it gets

[@benstephenson8993]

I just like how much less populated the city was. Room to actually walk on the sidewalks in midtown without having to navigate around idiot tourists

[@divineturtledarkxknow1776]

WOW NOBODY IS ON A CELL PHONE AND THEY LOOK REALLY NORMAL AND HAPPY

[@FadeingRevolt]

Yeah 1000+ murders that year . Not a care in the world . Just sunshine and subways

[@keumalacmhl8574]

It feels like yesterday

[@weaponexpert1]

man! i love your videos!!!

[@greghuang2314]

Hard to believe that the newest MTA buses in service when this was taken are still in service today

[@Nicky-Ace-Di]

They werent even that new then. Take a look at the opening scene of "The Pope of Greenwich Village." You'll see the same bus even then in 1983-4

[@greatriffishere]

1996 wasn't that long ago to be honest!!

[@busforcejesus]

Yeah, those 1996 RTS's. They lasted 22 years, with the last ones retiring in December 2018.

[@busforcejesus]

@@Nicky-Ace-Di He's talking about the 1996 Novabus RTS-06.

[@sergpie]

We had buses here in San Diego retire last year that were commissioned in 1997. They were honestly in better shape than the newer ones after a few years lol

[@MrCraigblaze]

Thanks for the upload great upload !!

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

Back when it was still cool to tug your shirts/jackets in.

[@Endeavour30]

thx for the videos! very interesting!

[@speak4061]

5:25 I just learned they wore north face in the 90s

[@DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

aw man dude. They wore hella north face in the 90's by far. Its crazy because I learned that not too long ago. When I was in the 10th-12 grade in hs back between 2011-14 everybody broke out with northface during the fall and winter months. I don't see them as much as I used too

[@jamiewerner9531]

How i wish i was there

[@y.s8915]

the good old crown vic's and caprice's

[@Cantbuyathrill]

Yes! Those were the default taxi fleet.

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

I see a lot of 80s cars in this. I wonder why I don't see too many 90s cars nowadays.

[@James7796ify]

80s cars are built like tanks. 90s cars were plastic and people junked them fast.

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

James7796ify Ah, that makes sense

[@James7796ify]

1991 was the last year American made a full metal car. the 1991 grand marquis was the last boxy metal car. It's a shame

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

James7796ify Really? I would've thought the last metal car to be the 1992 Cadillac Brougham

[@James7796ify]

Yea that too I forgot about that. What a boat

[@wmbrown6]

This was 30 years after Fifth Avenue first became one-way southbound.

[@claudiahansen4938]

I didn't know when that had happened. When I commuted down Fifth from E 83rd St by bus, it was southbound only (early seventies). Thank you.

[@cyrussm193]

What I find interesting is that those Caprices were new at the time, some of them around 4 years old maybe, and still they already look very rough lol

[@craigsmith157]

I was 26. Now I'm 49. I still look almost the same. No plastic surgery, either. Not kidding.

[@1sttigertiger426]

Was this filmed on a Saturday or Sunday? My guess is that it was a Sunday morning. It was very slow-paced.

[@russellb.williams5358]

Early Sunday morning.

[@kaesy24]

is there anyway I can possibly use this for a show I'm making it takes place in 1997 I will of course give you full credit for these videos

[@tsunamijune]

How did the show go?

[@maxmccoomb9051]

Many years ago lol

[@silvrx-pz3ce]

I would love to enjoy this video to the fullest especially since it was just filmed recently....but with y2k just 4 years away I'm worried🤥😳

I remember leaving Tavern on the Green and watching a pedestrian get annoyed at a Taxi and "stomp walked" right on the hood and roof and off the trunk and kept walking. Priceless.
