It brings me joy when Tom post videos,,, I pray your channel continues to grow

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I'm surprised Tom doesn't have a million subscribers. I look forward to every new video and enjoy watching his older ones. Will we ever get to see Phil? Is he 6' 10"? Tom's videos make me want to live in NYC.

[@petralemmens2932]

I agree, i just subscribe myself😉

[@NicholasKuqali]

He will have the same slow build and eventual “wow, he has x million subs” as Wendover Productions. It will just take time.

Mr. Delgado you always show great respect when you point out the beautiful buildings of the great religions. As a man of faith I deeply appreciate that attitude in this day & age. Keep up all the great work you do for others with your very entertaining & informative channel.

[@sedi]

Great video pal. Very insightful! Keep up the good work

[@lugano1999]

Tom: You walked right past my house where I have lived for the last 39 years. And yet, throughout the whole video you were able to provide 100x times more information that I ever could have about my own neighborhood. Thanks so much!

[@lauridibartolo4414]

You’re so funny! I was looking for my son while you walked as he lives on Clark st

[@jscot4419]

So correct that you'll dump more information on us than anyone else. Couldn't agree more and I love it! Keep at it Tom.

[@THERARECYCLE]

Sick plug:I actually saw you filming this.....was getting something too eat at Heights Falafel...great content as usual.

[@tomdnyc1]

Ha! You should have said hi!

[@fangyu1066]

What he ate this time sitting on garbage bages? Seems he is enjoy what ever he does, this guy pocket may not filled with money, but he has an rich brain and very expressional face, Tom will be sucessful in whatever career he choose.

[@davidbailey6563]

Well that flew by. Wonderful stuff again. Kicking myself that I never went over that bridge in the half dozen times I was in NYC. If Boris ever lets us out of lockdown I'm coming over. Every time I was in your city I felt like a fly trying to eat an elephant - you've swallowed it whole.

[@chairlesnicol672]

C ould u. Please tell that Boris guy to get him self a haircut to look the part... After all he's no beach boy lol

Tom” I don’t know what to tell ya” Delgado. Funny you say that all the time because you do know what to tell us . You tell us so much about NY and I appreciate it

Tom is one of the few NYC walking tour guides on KZbin who knows what he's talking about. Also very entertaining.

[@patfinn2697]

Thank you so much! I lived in Carroll Gardens in the early 90’s, opened the Fall Cafe on Smith at Union and would walk to the promenade at night to clear my head. I was jonesing to see this neighborhood so I’m very grateful. Thanks again.

[@ccuhsnick]

Hi Tom and Phil. Love that you are growing. You are so knowledgeable and so much fun. A good ending would be a teaser for the next video...

Tom is the best! He should have 10 million subscribers!

You walked down Henty Street (between Pierrepont and Clarke). I had a few friends who used to live in a couple of brownstones on that very street in the 1990s--when rents were very cheap! 👆👆

[@Lordofstink]

Your videos are the best. Appreciate all of your hard work

[@MelanieLichtinger]

Awesomeness! Loving your guerrilla / gorilla (Phil?) operation, you guys! Keep bringing on the historical & hysterical urban facts & legends, Tom! And I love it when Phil the mystery man goes: solid. Loving those short-ish clips with SO much content & fun. And seriously need to come back to Brooklyn!

[@ericdudley4169]

You are the best! Consider always introducing yourself as an aspiring comedian and actor so folks will more appreciate your fun sarcasm and zippy humor - I believe you’ll get way more subscribers... everyone loves to be connected to a comedian! Thank you so much for your great knowledge and work!

[@lauriejeandibartolo873]

i love your videos TOM!! especially this one because my college aged son lives in the DORMS you spoke of :) Peace!

Loads of mix in my family, I'm Irish, English, Welsh but I did my heritage test and we are 1.6 percent Jewish! Now I'm very interested in that, where did it come from, love history

Tom does live streaming with Action Kid and Sarah Funk! Not so much on his own because he has to edit the videos 🙂✌️

Tom first turned up about 8 months ago on a Action Kid post 🙂✌️

Hey, Tom. I love your videos and your videos with Sarah also. You're looking good with your hair longer and the beard.

Wow! Thank you so much. You're too cool. i'm now binging on your videos. I feel like i can hang out here. And tour New York. Thank you for the history lessons as well.

Tom, I never get tired of watching your videos. You are the sexiest guy in NYC. and you are so smart too.

[@TXMEDRGR]

Please do a video on the shows and movies in which you have appeared.

[@phillyhank8726]

What’s up brother Tom I absolutely love your channel. I can sit and watch your vids all day and I have actually done this as a matter of fact. You honestly really do teach me things I did not know about my home town. I am from Brooklyn (W’Burg) but live in Philly where I am a Philly police officer. My family left BKLYN in 88. Anyway I was wondering if you ever considered making some vids here in Philly, which I’m sure you kno is filthy rich with history. I would love to be a part of it maybe hold the camera for you film for you 🤷🏽‍♂️ Except….. I…. Don’t have a camera.😢 But I do have an iPhone 😂. Anyways brother, love, peace n hair grease. ✌🏾

[@dannysvinylrainbow4852]

Awesome video sir! Have you done Times Square lately?

[@Didymis]

What do we want? A Tom TV show...that’s what we want! It’s time to make the big bucks and buy that mansion in Gramercy Park. Oh, and more Dutch words please. Don’t STOEP.

[@canyonoverlook9937]

What was the benefit of the 5 boroughs becoming 1 city? It would just make it bigger and more difficult to govern.

[@tomdnyc1]

Well, some of the smaller cities and villages got to benefit from NYC's infrastructure and $ and NYC benefited from a more streamlined and larger metropolis. It was a highly contested issue though.

[@JulianSteve]

WHEN TOM IS A BLOCK AWAY FROM YOUR COLLEGE💀❗I never expected this video. Most of the area I've walked around😅

I didn't know the Jehovah Witnesses were so "Real Estate" aggressive. Their a lot like the "LDS" Church in the Southwest. So you were on "Billions" Tom, I'm close to finishing season one. I'll be looking for you, great television series.

[@SimplyDeeBeauty]

The JW organization owned property for their offices, publishing, etc. They also bought hotels and buildings for dorms for the volunteers. The property were remodeled and sold for profit when they weren't needed anymore. The buildings were sold in much better condition than when they were purchased.

[@MikeP2055]

I heard about your channel from Mark Normand on We Might Be Drunk, the podcast he does with Sam Morril. I immediately paused the pod to come check it out and it is fantastic! As a little kid in Salt Lake City I would go to the library and check out as many books about NYC that I could find. I've always been fascinated by its sheer scope and history. I stare at maps for hours on end trying to memorize where everything is relative to well known landmarks, even doing things like pausing Brooklyn Nine-Nine to get a look at the map that hangs in their bullpen, with Prospect Park at the bottom right. Anyhow, I look forward to watching all of your clips! Keep it up, they're cool as hell.

[@GlamGirlNextDoor07]
