[@LAFFINGOUTLOUD1]

Thanks for showing such respect for the 911 memorial, and the events from that tragic day. It shows what great people you are and why I love your channel. That day inspired me to join the military, where I served for 12 years. Much respect to both of you

[@Wickerlad_2002]

It was great to see the memorial on the vlog and to see so many people showing their respect

[@connieodom16]

Thank you for your service. ❤🤍💙

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you

[@bradyb9929]

Those fountains showcasing the size of the old towers along with the names are really an incredible monument.

[@ManvasPachenko]

I can't believe the Staten Island ferry is still free after all these years. Brilliant!! I can remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. Where I was when I heard what had happened, and seeing it all unfold on tele. A very heartbreaking day. Being Autistic, I think I'd be very overwhelmed if I visited the memorial. When I lived in NYC, there was a Manhattan toy shop called FAO SHWARTZ, which was a filming location for the movie BIG (1988) The scene when Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia danced on the piano that was in there at the time. The store was just across from The Plaza hotel. As seen in Home Alone 2

[@paulbeckham9177]

Your New York Video from 4 Years ago was the first video I ever watched of yours. Love your content keep it up.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you!

[@CatsnCoasters]

Aww, my favourite city in the world! Stanton Island Ferry is a must do for anyone going to NYC....can't beat it!

[@JustGettinBy1321]

So glad y'all were able to fit in a day to sightsee in NYC! There's definitely no place else like it.

[@saskiaj10]

Just watching now with my mum as she’s going in November for the first time ✨ She’s loving it so far thank you 🤗

[@PatrickRyan150]

You two are brave, especially to ride the subway.

[@RMTheMan]

It’s actually not as bad as I thought when I rode it, that may just be because I didn’t get any nutters on my carriages but I have seen videos of some real maniacs on it haha! 🤣

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It’s always an experience!

[@colettemikaelson160]

How amazing to catch the Cavalcade, what a moment.

[@mkt1847]

This video reminded how truly one a kind New York is. Even if you don't like big cities, it is worth experiencing as I still have never been to a city quite like it. The free ferry looks good when short on time but I personally like getting dropped off at the statue of liberty as you can get up close to the statue and there is an interesting self guided audio tour that gives you tons of history. Also on the same trip going to Ellis island and doing the audio tour is amazing. Need time though as all of that can easily take 4+ hours.

[@tormentorox1]

I’d love to see you guys come back sometime in the Autumn/October and visit the New England area. I think doing a Boston to DC road-trip would be awesome! You could drive up from Boston to Maine, drive back down through Vermont, stop In Connecticut, drive down to DC, stop in NYC on the way back, and come back to the Boston area! There’s theme parks like Six Flags New England, Great Adventure, and Lake Compounce on the way, there’s tons of local scare attractions, apple picking, museums like Mass Moca where they have a roller coaster art exhibit, you could go to Salem, Martha’s Vineyard, Newport! There’s a lot to do, and less driving as well compared to this trip! Lol and if you like picturesque small towns it’s the perfect region! Just a thought 😇

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thanks for your suggestions!

[@71JediKnight]

Loved this vlog. This was the first destination my boyfriend, now husband and I went to. We went 11 months after 9/11 and there was still dust on all the buildings and pictures of those lost, put up in vain by loved ones searching for them. Absolutely surreal experience. No one said a word, you could hear a pin drop...... Loved Grand Central Station, such a classic movie location. Great food hall underneath it!! You even showed where we stayed Essex House Hotel!!!

[@orb938gmail.]

[@WarrenBrown-t9t]

100% to the idea of exploring more cities and places on the channel.🌍

[@mrblack5599]

If ever Shawn gives up the coasters, could start new venture with Shawn's sightseeing tours of New York 😂.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Been looking forward to this one

[@Wickerlad_2002]

I love the vlogs over on Theme Park Worldwide but the vlogs here on The Sandbrooke Adventures are great too and really interesting. Its also great to see Charlotte in all the vlogs now and its nice to see her reactions to the new things too and i think its great that you can enjoy the parks, attractions and adventures together.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you!

[@beardown6574]

Quite the tourist day in NYC! You really hot all the spots. Showed off the mayhem of NYC very well lol but bravo on showing respect for the memorial. Thanks for showing that.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

We had a great day!

[@lorcanbonser-wilton3222]

Absolutely LOVED this video and your other vlogs, always so fun and upbeat but also informative. Just for your information, Ellen’s has such ridiculous queues because the waiters and waitresses are trained in musical theatre and sing as well as serving!!

[@eddieg6436]

The FOOD there is just AWFUL!! Touristy, and crowded, and noisy (why on earth do people like this place?!?!). ……You’d have to PAY ME several hundred dollars just to WAIT IN THAT LINE!! ….let alone eat that horrible food!!!

[@danielward4868]

I love the unique outro music played on these America road trip videos. Little touches like this make them feel special

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you

[@craigbailey79]

I love the sanbrooke adventures 🙌🏻🇬🇧

[@barrywood5030]

So beautiful NYC Bucket list destination ❤

[@paulphoenix1973]

Such a lovely Lancashire couple. Hope to bump into you one day while you're on your adventures.

[@RMTheMan]

One of my favourite places in the world. Did some general sightseeing when I was there like Times Square, Central Park Zoo, Empire State Building, Coney Island, One World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. Unfortunately last week it was hammering it down on the 4th of July so we didn’t get to the Statue of Liberty island but we still saw it from a far on the same boat tour that you were on I believe & we saw the fireworks later that night. Hope you had an awesome time while you were there!

[@C_Editz5316]

Back when you were adventure Shawn the New York videos were my favorite always it’s cool to see you back there

[@LuisMoreno-hs7us]

Muy bien video gracias

An amazing finish to an amazing trip. Loved every video. Looked forward to your next adventures.

Welcome to nyc my favorite number one city because of the mascots and characters

[@jackiepage6897]

35:44 you too kept that a secret, going to New York. The big apple. Great video as always. Looking forward to seeing the next video

Congrats on reaching 100k subscribers. You so deserve it for all your hard work and your fabulous funny personality.

[@neilkentrocco2297]

Brilliant vlog, we’re off to NYC soon so this was really useful to learn about the ferries, sights etc 👍

[@pablomufc8595]

Been looking forward to this. Best city in the world 💯

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

Yay! Thank you for dropping this on my birthday! Been waiting to see this one.

[@karentaylortransforms]

I remember in 2000 going with my parents and we lost my dad in Macy’s, went to try on some clothes but went out a different exit and then couldn’t find him! 20:17 so funny to remember. And of course went up the WTC so seeing the memorial always makes me cry, great vlog

[@adamwillis5013]

Great insight into the president visit and the security was crazy! Great vlog as always!

[@CherryBerry48]

i love the chattering hum on that train station, i never been to new york

[@davidnm21]

It was nice and touching that you paid a visit to the World Trade Centre site. I do love NYC and have made several visit’s myself. I was actually there two weeks after 911 and I can tell you what a surreal experience it was. I walked over Brooklyn Bridge and the awful smell and taste in the back of my throat really got to me. Dust and debris still hanged in the air and I have a vivid memory of seeing a Levi Jeans store completely covered in dust which from my understanding is still like it today, (if someone can confirm that). A memory I will never forget like those that unfortunately were caught in the terrible events in September 2001. The area now is changed so much. The Woolworth Building is my favourite skyscraper although I did go up The Empire State Building. Macy’s is always worth a visit along with Statin Island. The Metro system is fairly cheap if I recall. Grand Central Station is amazing. Great vlog guys.

[@AudreyMealiff]

How cool for Joe to show up to celebrate the channel's 100k subscribers milestone!

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Brilliant!

[@elaine81234]

I've just been watching your vlog. I loved all your vlogs of the trip on both channels ❤ can't wait for your next trip vlogs thank you for sharing with us 😊

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you!

[@gigteevee6118]

Agree about that Times Square at night feeling, it’s weird because it’s really just a bunch of adverts and a ton of people, but somehow the sheer size of it all is enough to overwhelm and impress!

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It’s crazy!

[@gavinhodgkins6643]

Wow guys, what an awesome and amazing video. Would love to do New York as it looks an awesome place to visit. Would need a good couple of weeks to do it all, but sure would tick some items off the bucketlist.!!😮

[@philipbrailey]

You young couple sure get around. A wise move with the boat trip. I wouldn’t line up.

[@JoJo-yt1ys]

Amazing video guys xx

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you

[@gerardolivier5250]

what a chance to see the president convoi in NY :o thats like once in a lifetime

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It was awesome!

[@nicolaward1034]

Great vlog! We are off to New York in December 😆 xx

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Have fun!

[@bonnieperkins4012]

Loved this vidio, just amazing and you saw the president, I've been to carlos bake shop in Jersey and I met him at a meet and greet in Florida, what a grea video ❤❤

[@CLC-1000]

Amazing vlog guys. 👍

[@petesomebody7389]

Luv the idea of you showcasing cities and stuff not theme park related in the uk like bristol or bath as well as ones you mentioned, also heritage railways they need the support too mostly ran by volunteers, great to see you branching out ❤❤

[@shirleyquinn1766]

Great filming Shawn.

[@alancampbell9568]

Very enjoyable tour around New York. Good tip regarding the free Staten Island Ferry if you just want to view the Statue of Liberty. Quite moving footage at the Trade Centre Memorial. Macy’s just looked like a giant Selfridges. ha,ha. Having never visited New York, I was surprised to see that Times Square isn’t actually square. But then again Maddison Square Garden is round. 😂 Grand Central Terminal was as impressive as I’d seen in so many films. I was also surprised to see how less crowded some areas of the city were compared others. Thanks for showing me around.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@DJSOfficialUK]

Nice vlog, really enjoyed and look forward for more in future. Sad the USA Tour is over, really enjoyed theme park & travelling series, 100% support the idea at the end on visiting days in cities, wondering if you are coming down to Kent in future a.k.a Southeast of England to see our steam railways, other tourist attractions? Especially Manston Airport museums & airport building progress? As that has now got full green light & happening. Steam railways are good down here including K&ESR / Kent and East Sussex Railway & RHDR / Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway aswell many other railways. Have you done Dover Castle yet? Really good attraction, but got a lot in the Southeast & Kent, got a unique steam railway which is Industrial Paper Mill railway Sittingbourne, Kemsley Light Railway, if love history got Chatham Historic Dockyard where Sherlock Holmes, Call the Midwife aswell many other films over the years have been filmed, got a bobsleigh run at Capstone Park aswell more things to do there, got Diggerland and a new zipline and adventure park at Bluewater Shopping Centre. Loads of things to see in Kent. Even more than that. Just a lot of ideas there, but nice vlog, really enjoyed & look forward for more videos. Cheers again. 😀👍

[@patdavidson5161]

We visited NY just before the tragic events of 9/11 and the view from the top of the WTC building was phenomenal, you could actually get on the very top. I’d highly recommend Saks 5th ave store, it’s beautiful inside, so unique and in a different league to Macy’s , but then that is the oldest dept store. Thanks for the vlog 🤗❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Fun fact about the famous grids you walked over in times square - most people think they are air vents, which there sort of where originally supposed to be. However on installation of the underground airvents, they failed to work after a think several weeks but the project was too big and cos millions so it became a registered art installation (i think it some times lights up underground too). Also massive respect for filming Ground Zero with such reverence and emotion ❤ really enjoyed this guys. Stay safe 🙏

Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte

[@osnat057]

Wow! The president stopped you from traveling..... amazing

[@Peter-s4c2b]

Noooo, this means it's the end of the USA Road Trip for real :-( Going to miss checking in every day to see what you guys are up to! Currently on our own adventures in London before heading to Europe with a stop at a few theme parks including Efteling, Europapark and Disneyland :D

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you!

[@lucyedgehill]

This is super nostalgic for me, we got engaged in New York back in November 2018, on the night they switched the lights on the Rockefeller Christmas tree that year! We stayed at the Manhattan hotel which I spotted you walking past and went to Ellen's Stardust Diner the morning after for a special breakfast. An amazing trip, I would love to go back in the future! 😍

[@BUEAU]

Love how Shawn says, "also as well" and "small little" . Maybe I'm watching your channels too much? LoL

[@valeriemaclean3197]

What a convoy!😳😂

[@keiranhyre750]

Brilliant vlog as allways

[@soulgirl62]

This is amazing... i went to NYC just before we were locked down I cannot see me going again unless things and rules changed dramatically plus i have heard its not as safe as it was now.. but i love what you have filmed.. You have an amazing voice Shawn.. you should do radio.. you have the voice for it.

[@CraigBailey-l5w]

Hi Shawn and Charlotte huge fan of the channel would not go an a coaster as they petrify me! Keep up the good work!

[@samclements8567]

It’s great to see you back in New York 🚖🗽 I always watch your old videos of NYC (Jan 2019) because I was over there in November 2018 with my late mother and really enjoyed it.

[@samclements8567]

That’s how I got to see The Statue Of Liberty 🗽 via Staten Island Ferry all thanks to Hostleworld for giving us tips.

[@samclements8567]

Also went on the hop on hop off tour bus and that’s how we got a discount to go up either The Empire State Building, Rockefeller Centre and 1 WTC.

[@emsdenuk]

Hi Shawn & Charlotte, Fantastic Vlog, really enjoyed it. The 9/11 memorial must have been such an amazing place to visit and so emotional as well. We remember the tragedy so vividly as we were on our honeymoon in 2001 when it all happened and we were in Mexico watching on our hotel TV, it was so heart breaking to watch. New York looks an amazing place to visit but so busy through. Thanks so much for sharing we really enjoyed it. From Paul & Marie 👍

[@jamesabbott5242]

Awesome Video Guys

[@reyjusuf]

Aaaaaa Can't wait to go back to New York ❤❤❤

[@fidgetspinner343]

Bloody loved this video and brilliant you saw Biden. So good 👍

Thank you

[@Quibble1.1]

I went to New York last August, it was so funny, as New York is known for their yellow cabs, but one morning we walked 3 miles without seeing a single one, and we were in the centre, also most of them you now have to book, traditional way of just flagging down a taxi was so much easier than the hassle of booking!

[@history_leisure]

36:28 who remembers when FAO Schwartz was over there?

[@ArisleidaAbadia]

Divino El Otoño

[@anntaplin4960]

When I was in New York I also ticked off a few things on my bucket list. I walked the entire length of the Brooklyn Bridge, visited the Statue Of Liberty and the Monument to 9/11. Was awesome.

[@thomassleigh289]

Great video, you could do birmingham in a day, going around grand central, bull ring, by the canals…

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Sounds good!

[@gemmamck1691]

Awesome vlog! I've never been to New York and have loved seeing this - I can't believe how busy it is even though I knew it was busy if that makes sense 😂 and wow the president! Great seeing that- I saw air force 1 when Donald Trump was visiting Turnberry and that was such a experience in itself!

[@jo-annfat-bricks2471]

I went to see the Ball Drop in 1999-2000... it was nuts!

[@mazmaz3077]

OMG Times Square looked packed we went in March and it was far less crowded like atleast 70% less people. Alot colder lol , but worth it . Looked like you had an epic time

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It was crazy!

[@Shag471]

18:25 I was just about to ask if you saw the Macy’s wooden escalators. 😂

[@tonyjohnson8604]

I had Raising Cane's for the first time in Las Vegas 3 years ago. It was delicious!!

Times Square is crazy! So much goes on there every night. Remember....it's the city that NEVER SLEEPS for a reason!

[@RR-fg2rl]

Living in NYC its great to hear Charlotte reaction to city I haven't been to London since I was in marines In 81 but I'm sure it's still great like NYC. Next time in NYC take her to coney but also Rye playland.

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Nice

[@history_leisure]

I took the Staten Island Ferry 12 years ago because there's a Scout Camp over there

[@history_leisure]

If I could name a time my dad was slow and our party almost missed a ferry. I would have two nickels. The other times was the Ferry from St. Thomas-St. John ferry when he remarried in 2020

[@yugioht42]

The book the statue is hold has the poem that immigrants used to recite by heart. It has the words “give us your sick, wounded, and dying”

[@RaeAnn_1202]

I thought the pedestal has The New Colossus sonnet by Emma Lazarus which includes, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" The book she is holding has the Roman numerals JULY IV MDCCLXXVI. Very special and beautiful.

[@craigbailey79]

How much did the whole trip cost you in the end?

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It’s hard to work out the full amount it cost us, however we have a video over on TPW talking about some of the costs involved

[@yugioht42]

The statue cruise to liberty island and ellis island take about half a day in total because of the whole seeing everything situation and honestly it’s better spent seeing it from afar as you have other things to see. If you had more time you would do it but one day in nyc not enough time

[@jackwatsonepic626]

Shaun , did the extended tour when he went there in January 2019 (to liberty Island 🗽)

[@missmoonpenny9369]

Inside the Rockefeller center saved our lifes in last year’s heatwave whilst visiting NYC. It was incredibly cool in there 😂👍🏼

[@stoppropaganda2573]

Great vlog guys, too bad I've been to all those places in NCY because I'm pretty local but for a 1st time adventurer ... this is a fantastic introduction to the madness called NYC!

[@Shag471]

31:05 You’re getting the full American experience! 😂

[@juliajones2283]

Agree with Charlotte, you don’t have to queue to take a photo with our Birmingham Bull at the bullring! We also have the second bull now too, the mechanical bull from the commonwealth games !! I don’t think I will ever go to New York so I paid my respects with you watching this at the 9/11 memorial. So sad, xx

[@juliajones2283]

Also that was a huge convoy and police presence for one person even if he is the president!!

[@liamness5155]

York in a day

[@jakey_playz]

I remember being much close to the statue yes the world trade center is a sad place the energy is just difrent than the rest of the city could be the spirits of the people who died in 911 watching u there it doese feel sad 😢

[@iamtinfamousxii9326]

Awesome video! Really impressed you got to see good ol' Joe! 🎉 NYC is such an inspirational city, literally the worlds best museum of architectural advancement. Love all the Pride flag showings around as well. What a great city. On the theme park side, NYC also has a great amusement park district with Coney Island which includes the world-famous Cyclone! Maybe you can visit next time!

[@GLI1346101]

15:00 I actually visited the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA last year, now operated by the National Park Service. And that one was hard on me. I was driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and a couple of times, I actually did wanted to turn around and head back home and not visit the memorial several times. But I didn't, and I made it, got to see it, and took it off my bucket list. Same thing with NYC, some of the victims and other US Citizens don't want to see the 9/11 Memorial ever.

[@shredder8000]

Just curious, To visit all the attractions, can u buy a pass or is it better to pay separately

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

You can do however it depends on which ones you actually want to experience!

[@jrfings7852]

Yeah - Toys R Us is back in the UK as a shop in shop at WH Smith
