The beauty of being on the streets of NYC is that everybody is fit and slim from doing all that walking ....Down here in the south everybody is literally shaped like offensive lineman .....

[@SicilianStealth]

I was thinking what you just admitted. Chelsea Manhattan here.

We do walk a lot

Good to see NYC starting to come to life a little at least. Those shops depend on our money.

[@skullembzxm2210]

Oh the girls keep them open 🤣

[@willam779]

That's not my problem 😂

[@TheTrueclass5]

So sad to see my city so devastated. I watched videos on the Upper West Side where I lived on West 73rd Street between Central Park West and Columbus and also saw your video on the Upper East Side where I also once lived. Soho where I loved to shop. I was in tears watching this. Grew up in NYC and moved to Boca Raton Florida in October 2018 but my friends and family live in NYC. Was there in March while the pandemic was just kicking up and NYC started closing down. Haven't been able to get back as Florida is on the Quarantine list if we come back to NY. So so sad to see the city like this on the videos. Praying it makes a come back. Keep doing more videos.

[@ladytron9188]

The consequences of this pandemic will cause massive unemployment due to lack of tourists.Not just New York but every large city in the world.

I work down in West Soho & when I was there in the shopping district a couple of months ago it was completely dead but now it’s starting to come back to life gradually! It’s actually a great thing to see & I hope NYC will come back stronger than ever!!!

So sad. Usually you can’t even Walk down the street in Soho because there’s so many people and you can see it’s just literally deserted

[@SicilianStealth]

Far from Sad. I have the city to myself.

Another high quality video. Love the way your describe your surrounding. Good luck.

[@juliashar]

I have seen a few of your videos. You have a lovely energy. Keep doing what you do. Native New Yorker here. Keep the positivity going.

[@JoeTheGreat08]

i use to work in the zara in soho around 2017, it amazing how crowded it was compared to now :-(

[@dougtagg9162]

The way soho looks now maybe the rents will be lowered enough for the artists to come back.

[@Ayotzi94]

Yes that’s what’s important

[@marcalhanaty4636]

Rents have already plummeted significantly if you’re serious about living in the city now is the time. In my old neighborhood of Gramercy Park grants have dropped between $500:and $800 And that’s common for all parts of the city

[@willam779]

Yes my friend no longer pays 10gs a month for her Soho loft.. it's now 9400 what a steal.

[@marcalhanaty4636]

huck b lol

[@ActionKid]

It's quite a possibility!

[@alfoncesmithe]

Once again Kenneth a very nice video, love this area, yes it's so sad to see Manhattan like this, when you came along Mercer St. That truck was pumping cement or a concrete mix in to the building I know this ad I used to be in construction shame this video wasn't longer take care Ken very best wishes from the U.K. as soon as its possible we'er coming back N.Y.C.😎🙂🗽👍🌟☕

[@dream.machine]

Soho is always a nice place to walk, very nice tour. It was pretty empty there, but I'd call it manageable. The first half of 2020 was so challenging and weird, I'm glad New York is starting to recover from that, you recorded quite some history during that time.

[@syedaga4711]

Love your walking tours 😊👍

[@darrenlam7131]

[@Ricopolico]

I love the City except for . . . the frickin' scaffolding! From Harlem to Wall Street, it's EVERYWHERE! I guess it will never be finished.

[@jessygarci]

Seriously like what is up with so many unnecessary scaffolding. I thought they were going to give rid of many..Yet some have been up for more than a decade for no reason just because landlords are too cheap to pay for maintenance. It's an eyesore and dangerous when it gets windy.

[@Ricopolico]

@@jessygarci - More than decades, you're right! After a while, the scaffolding starts to take root and you ignore how long it's been in place; you might forget how beautiful it is without it.

[@TheSvmurai]

“It'll be a great place if they ever finish it.” ― O. Henry

[@Avital4414]

Now landlords and tenants won’t be able to do repairs, so there should be a reduction in new scaffolding installation. On the other hand, it costs money to remove scaffolding, so...

[@robertlopezrosado4042]

I grew up in that neighborhood from the 40s till the eighties all those buildings in the area were factories where clothes were made,the artists started to move in the area in the late seventies early 80s.

About the distance tween foljs on line; 'foljs are spaced out'. Believ that describes things perfectly, in both respects. :)

[@connaghlacey9519]

Hi, I was just wondering, when you say the streets are normally full of people and they are one on top of the other(@2:27) can you edit a screenshot in the video from a capture of one of your previous videos of the same spot before covid?

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Fantastic video AK!

[@TheStudioManila]

AK thanks for the update in this part 2:50 I dont wanna be dramatic but it breaks my heart whenever I see 1 less VS / Pink shop, that brand aesthetics & quality helped me through my HS years to choose better stuff at best prices, great value! . I hope people will appreciate the company's effort to spread better essentials in these time of so much uncertainties 🙏😌.

[@sweethi2t]

More bathroom spots in the area - the Apple store and Crate & Barrel! Not sure if they are open now, but something to keep in mind for future reference.

[@johnnorth5824]

I'm curious because i literally cannot tell, do you record the audio after you record the video or are you commentating live as everything happens? It sounds like you're doing it live. Either way great work and thanks for the vid!

[@BC-ek1ih]

Is NYC completely reopened now ? Where can I find information on the phases? I'm planning a new trip to New York next September ... Thanks for you videos ! B [France]

[@nakiajankee4245]

No NYC is not completely opened. Theaters on Broadway are closed & may be opening sometime in 2021. Many restaurants and stores are still closed.

[@davidcollegerosemont]

Wonderful video. Thanks from Haiti.
