spend an afternoon with me in the east village (exploring nyc 02.)

[@LSChestersMom]

Alexis this is your niche! How WONDERFUL and CREATIVE this blog is! Thank you :) Hope you do more of these ! I personally love alone time, fun and exploring ! But I am a HUGE introvert ! Love the way you edited this one and the being in school idea.

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you so much! i am glad you liked it

[@FairyDabMother]

your little class bit just made me a perma subscriber. kudos to you girly

[@Goldleigh2211]

Love your vlogs, keep being you. Love from England🇬🇧

[@Eli_Arch]

I'm from a small town in Colombia 🇨🇴 and I love getting to know NY city through your videos. I hope I can visit it someday!

[@JulieNick28]

loved this vlog!

[@topchelseagirl9074]

Yes do a series please. When I was over there in July I was walking around the Upper West Side and I suddenly thought wouldn't it be funny if I saw Alexis somewhere, I would've definitely said hello. I actually walked past Cure Thrift and it looked really interesting, but it was early morning and it wasn't open yet. Exploring places on your own is such fun and a real confidence builder.

[@denisee4570]

I'm really really enjoying this vlog. I love the touring NYC and history lessons. Please do more of these blogs. Hug❤

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!! i will!

[@Simplylakesha]

Ooh, loved the history inserts! Great vlog

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@djsutherland877]

Hi Alexis, as a new viewer,I just spent my weekend binge watching your videos. While I was watching "How to Grow on KZbin in 2023", I got a "AHA" moment. Have you ever considered going back to your Alma Mater to do a talk on what you shared in the video. I learned so much and I know the real students will learn so much real knowledge on how to survive in NYC 👍.

[@heavenlymorsels]

OMGoodness this format, the editing, history class - THEEE best vlog - I love it so much so glad you are making it a series! Especially for those of us that havent been to new york and may want to visit one day! ALEXIS this was sooo good!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you so much!! ❤️

[@Swendt8328]

This video is so fun! I love seeing NYC through you’re videos! ❤

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@cassandracorona7773]

One of my favorite videos you have made. I loved the history lessons. More videos like this please

[@BrendaVFitness]

I loved this vlog!! So well done. I think this series would be extra special in the fall season with all the leaves changing color!!

[@teresaleatherwood1565]

I’m going to say this was one of the very best videos you’ve put out. Witty, informative and just entertaining. Good job teach!

[@sarahb3606]

Fun!👏🏻

[@MsTravelchanel]

I am obsessed with every ounce of this format. This feels so distinct. So enjoyable. The history , the call out to gentrification. Hearing from future Alexis. Watching you go about your day. One of the most enjoyable things I’ve watched 🎉

[@debihammack7800]

Loving this style of vlog! Love School Teacher Alexis. *chef kiss*

[@bukaniusinawo]

Oh my goodness, the best video you’ve ever created. Please make more of these. Everything about this video is perfect.

[@Geron12]

this style of vlog was really entertaining!!

[@thepragmatist]

I was very fortunate to live in the EV for 3 years from '05-'08 on East 3rd between 1st & 2nd Avenue. I loved it. Glad you are doing these videos so people can see what life is like in the various NYC neighborhoods present day.

[@joannk.2557]

The white thick topping on the matcha sunny side could be cheese foam (which is why you might have hated the first taste lol). Some boba places have started making it a topping.

[@reapersphantomofhell]

Oh I am LOVING this spin on your blog. Please explore more! ❤❤

[@heidiperez9363]

Such a fun, creative, (and educational) video! Hope everything is going ok with you.

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️❤️❤️

[@maretamorales2232]

What a fun vlog!! Absolutely loved it!!! 😊

[@donna8264]

I Loved this video….such a fun take on a history lesson!! Can’t wait for more of these!!! 🤓❤ 📖

[@johnshaves101]

No bennet in this one!! 😮, we watch in the uk, my wife loves the furry lil guy 👍👍😁, have a great weekend

[@jimeneztrejo1]

You need to make more of these videos! I loved the way you meshed a vlog and an urban/ history tour. I did my masters at NYU, so this day in the East Village (I used to live in alphabet city) was a literal trip down memory lane. Keep it up!

[@djherman104]

LOVED THIS! The exploring, classroom, and history lesson...so fun and creative! Loved it! ❤

[@bridgetb4048]

Loved the research element of this vlog!! NYC neighborhoods have such interesting histories

[@AngelsLieToKeepCtrl]

I really liked this style of Vlog! It was fun to learn and watch you go about your afternoon. Can't wait for the next class!

[@em.slowlyreading]

Loved the creativity in this, do your thing girl!

[@Shy_Gonz]

This vlog is so good. The format and the story telling. Love it

[@lysettewood971]

Love the editing! So creative and thanks for taking us on your journey.

[@jethor4561]

Fun vid! Let's not forget about the Lenape, Indigenous peoples of New York City that are almost ever mentioned.

[@alexiseldredge]

thanks! and yes, the Lenape are such an important part of NYC! i will make sure to incorporate more of their history as i continue with this series

[@Cherurei1109]

I love your transitions for sponsors! Always so clever!! 😊

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️

[@etcurlee]

This was such a fun and informative video! I had no idea about the neighborhood history or general NY history (which blew my mind). Please keep doing this series! Tbh I will watch any video you post - love getting a glimpse into your life and getting to spend time following you are in your day to day!

[@Seriinudesu]

What a great vlog! I love how you've edited in the history bits as well 😊 And the Japanese stationery was so adorable 🥰🌸

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@resizedbite]

Cool video!🙌🏼 I was grew up in the east village. Born on 1st street, moved to 3rd btw 1&2 ave, the home of the Hell Angels then lived on 5th street btw A & B forever ~ Definitely changed since I lived there.

[@Brightly_Bailie]

I loved this video, I am from California but live in Sweden and people are always asking if I have been various places by like you said it’s so easy to get comfortable where you are and do the usual when such interesting history is right near you!

[@SeanzViewEnt]

nothing short of incredible

[@francieobrien3377]

Loved the format of this video, and bonus history lessons. ✌️

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@rhondaharris3291]

I loved this Alexis! I am a long time viewer and so enjoyed the tour. I come to NYC every few months from NC just to do what you just did...explore new areas of greatest city in the world. Can you do Washington Heights soon?

[@backtoreads]

the east village is my personal favorite!!! im sadly not a native new yorker but every time im in the city the east village just calls to me!! and to hear that it housed a large number of latino and puertorican diaspora made everything click !! 💗🇵🇷 yes to making this a series + i love the lil class bits!!

[@jenniferdacreativeexplorer]

Great VLOG! I'm so glad you ventured out. I do that with my photography as well and go on photo walks in different neighborhoods. I really appreciated the tour! Series is a good idea.

[@memoirsfrommiddleschool9938]

This was fun to watch! I’d love to see more videos like this! 🌆

[@lizburrowschapin2871]

THAT WAS SO DIFFERENT AND FUN!!! I LIKE all of them but that was cool!

[@jaxlaj2272]

Love it. Been watching for a bit but this format was so cute. Keep doing these!

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!

[@Dreamcatcher.925]

This video is sooo fun! I'm from the Midwest and would love to visit New York someday! Thank you for the history and reccomendations! Saving this video for future travels.🎉🎉❤❤

[@SienaFit]

What a fun vlog! Thank you for venturing out!

[@juliejames3338]

[@ankisun1361]

Love the way you introduce the history of east village as well as show us your visiting experience ~ !

[@gosheryblog]

Really enjoyed learning more about a NYC neighborhood. Great video!

[@mariahm15]

Loved this style video! Love the history lesson especially! I live in NYC too and omg my day would be made if I ran into you in the street since you seem so sweet, cool, and a good friend. 😊

[@gailm1122]

Fun vlog!

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️

[@jimvinespresents...8463]

There's a very famous photo of writer Jack Kerouac walking past Tompkins Square Park back in the '50s. It's a cool piece of NYC literary history.

[@ms.carmeng7995]

This was really really good. I learned something today. Thank you.

[@PamelaNicole]

I love this video! Gave me lots of new things to try in the city ❤

[@karencameron9474]

Best flogs of NYC by far...love the content..xxx ❤️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mary_teatowel]

I really enjoyed this, thanks for the history lesson!

[@daniellesammy0827]

Even for someone from the city, this was a great video!!! I loved it❤️

[@olbird7647]

Being able and willing to do stuff on your own is definitely a life skill and a life pleasure! I'm very pleased that you're learning that while you're young 😊👍

[@mazaiah_]

No cause why did you pop off on this video Alexis!? It’s so good the format, chef kiss* love this series keep it up! 🫶🏾

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you so much! ❤️

[@noradedios7639]

Great vlog and history of NY, thank you! 😊

[@clarissaannsmith]

I don’t see anyone mentioning it, but I believe the foam at the top of your matcha may have been cheese foam. As a self proclaimed boba connoisseur, this is popular at a lot of gourmet boba shops. Some people (me) drink it like a cold foam and others will mix it like you did! I’m enjoying watching you try new matchas 😊

[@mommysaver71]

Absolutely LOVE this blog!! So creative.

[@ayami7719]

love your interesting curiosity!!!

[@DancingKitkat13]

A chill vlog yasss I hope you are doing well Alexis ❤❤❤

[@orlaghclaire]

LOVE the East Village and yess you should definitely get a Tompkins Square Bagel next time! Plus there's a place called Ray's Candy Store that's opposite TSP that's a NY institution - 90 year old Ray still works in the store today and their specialty is deep fried oreos if you're ever in the mood.. St. Mark's is also a really cool area to visit if you're ever in the East Village again - some cool food spots and bars there. Love this series and excited to see where you explore next!

[@morganfortier7929]

one of your best vlogs ever!!

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️

[@mansoor3159]

Yayyy!! Finally wait is over and Alexis what a incredible incredible vlog you are my inspiration and I wish you have a best best weekend💖🤗💫

[@alexiseldredge]

thank you!!

[@BethMJones]

Loved this vlog & you showing us more of NY. I have never seen the east side (or any of it but the airport). Yes, next time get the bagel & show us & enjoy the park in the morning-bagels are so good! Our daughter Leah would love the Japanese stationary shop (she plans to go to Japan next year) and the matcha/boba tea place. What was the fake “egg” 🍳 made of? Yes, we all need to discover more of what’s in our own backyard & do more fun things, even alone-like me here in the Kansas City, Missouri area. So much to do & see. Great vlog.

[@tanyab78]

I love this series!!!

[@alexiseldredge]

yay!

[@kennaharrison603]

I love this video! Your opinions are funny, honest and fair! I am the same way I spend more time talking myself into things…then spend time talking myself out of them!! I miss out on a lot of experiences just because I don’t have another person with me 😢. I hear about the Ltrain thrift in those videos that ask people on the street what and where did they get their clothing! Thanks ❤️

[@ritaelona7513]

Love this video. Great information.

[@marilynthomson9564]

Oh, this was such a fun video! Thank you so much.

[@onimosvintageclothingstore8275]

I was wondering if it wouldn’t be fun to recreate the „I woke up at 5am every day“ video within one of your vlogs? ps: love your content

[@waggermama]

And that has to be one of the parks where Elementary was filmed!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy almost fall, Alexis!❤
