I wish i was in central park today !!

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Dude. Nice and warm

[@FreedomStrider]

I find Central Park amazing - the fact such a big city has a singular massive expanse of greenery is so great to see, and seeing the skyline all around you makes it quite strange and sereal

[@TheTravelingClatt]

It really is quite amazing!

[@Regluna]

There is this hack with the lamp posts all over the park. You'll find 4 numbers on the base of the lamp. the first 2 numbers, tells you the nearest street, and the las 2 numbers tells you if you are more to the east or the west. If the last 2 numbers are even you are on the east, if those are odd, you are in the west. And, if you go the Oak Bridge in the evening, you could find some Racoons in the area.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Nice! Thank you for the tip!

"If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself." John Lennon

[@CathyS_Bx]

Before John and Yoko financed it, the "Strawberry Fields" area in Central Park was weedy and overgrown. They paid for beautiful landscaping which included plants and trees from all over the world. Now, of course, it is also a place to remember John Lennon and his message of peace. I lived in that neighborhood for a long time and sometimes saw John and Yoko walking in that very area with toddler Sean Lennon in tow--they kept him on a sort of long leash so he could not be kidnapped. Yoko remains a real and philanthropic force in NYC.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

That's awesome

[@CathyS_Bx]

What an ignorant comment.@Donna Peroche

[@mariafrey6190]

I smiled when you said "Don't worry boo I got you" thanks for the tour. I'm in St Louis MO . I am reading a book about birding there and wanted to take a look! ☮️

[@jewelljohnson7303]

Wow waterfall in Central Park! You’d never think you’d see that in New York City. Thanks for showing us around.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Yeah it's nuts

[@Funfoods]

Nice guide Tal. I will be in NYC in a couple of weeks but only for a day. Maybe I'll get to see some of Central Park.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

You gotta it's a great place!

[@goodi2shooz]

There were so many places I never knew about! And it made me so happy when you said you weren't a fan of zoos anymore....me either.

[@Caswell19]

Central Park is an incredibly designed place. Thanks Frederick Olmsted! Nearly 100% man-made but looks like it isn’t at all. Almost everything you see there was placed there by his designs and is not naturally occurring.

[@MinnesoTristan]

There is a secret survey marker behind the dairy, where the intersection of 6th Ave and 65th Street would have been. You climb the rocks behind the dairy, and you'll find a bolt hammered into a rock. It's the only known marker left from the original survey of Manhattan.

[@anthonypinkerton1418]

Umpire Rock is another great location on the south side of the park near Columbus Circle. Amazing skyline views from the top of a natural rock formation

[@LincolnintheAdirondacks]

Central Park is amazing. You can def spend an entire day there, easy! My wife and I always grab mimosas in the park haha

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Heyyyy yooo so glad u liked

[@juliobandaiglesias7060]

I'm going to New York in July and thanks to you I have been able to visit virtually through your videos that great city and its touristic places. Thanks a lot !!

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Thanks Julio! Glad I could help

[@venterdinobee782]

Singapore has very nice, beautiful & spacious parks too: Gardens by the Bay, Botanic Gardens, Fort Canning Park, Hort Park & Jurong Lake Gardens.

[@juanvidal7678]

great job covering central park. the best free place to go around in the city. thank's for the video.

[@pootle2768]

I never knew there was so much in Central Park! It’s amazing. Thank you for the tour 👍🏻

[@TheTravelingClatt]

My pleasure thanks for watching

[@lowderra]

Meer is a fancy British term for a lake that is broad but shallow... loved the birds and the skittish squirrel! This one looks like it was a lot of work, it’s really great, and glad you had some sun. I’m enjoying these neighborhood tours, thank you so much for all your work and effort and positive attitude. I look forward to watching them at the end of my workday.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Oh boy this one was a trek my friend

[@lowderra]

7 hours right?!?

[@lanakrpan3722]

It might be Dutch

[@AfterTheRains]

Amazing and massive park. You did venture into what looked like some quiet scary areas on your own though. I was really surprised to see a Robert Burns statue in The Mall area.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Haha yeah it was awesome tho

[@Standswithabeer]

wow...thanks...that's a lotta work!

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Thanks it was quite the video to shoot

[@johnholme783]

Great videos man! Makes me want to start travelling again!

[@marshakaranasky6158]

WOW!!! I had no idea Central Park was so big! I've watched videos of the Met so many times, would love to see it in person someday.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

It's so frakin big

[@palmeraayala9474]

But not the biggest. Pelham Park, in the Bronx, holds that title.

[@sking3225]

Well, thank you for taking the long walk for us!! I've watched several of your videos of NYC and subscribed!!

[@rachelsirett8809]

I recognise alot of spots have seen in films and tv shows!! Exciting!! Love go new york !!

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Come on down Rach!

[@buzzardbrother1911]

Funniest thing on GTA IV, run up to one of the food vendors and knock into him until he gets annoyed, then run to the next did vendor whilst being chased and stand by him, when the angry food vendor catches up he takes a swing at you but instead of hitting you he hits the vendor next to you which starts a street fight. Hilarious. Liberty Island is the best place for it but Central Park is good as well.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Hahahahah

[@christiananthonyc2986]

Thanks for all these video uploads - about to go to NYC from Oz and these are really good research. Much appreciated! :)

[@KevinAndCatTravel]

Love your videos im visiting for Wrestlemania weekend and have a bit of time to kill cant wait to try your recommendations.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Yes gotta do it Kevin!

Here it is

[@buzzardbrother1911]

In the North West of England were I live there are lots of mere's but funnily enough we don't just say for instance 'I'm going to Pickmere' we'd say 'I'm going to Pickmere Lake', for me though, one of the most beautiful mere's is in the Lake District and it's called Buttermere.

[@josh1995-o4q]

When I'm traveling. I don't need to watch. When I'm working. I neeed to watch.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Haha yes u gotta

[@luisespineira9882]

Amazing tour. I never knew there are waterfalls

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Yeah awesome ones!

[@EuropeNordeste]

Cool video, love Central Park. Keep up with the great videos.

[@stevendudley5687]

Garth Brooks played a free concert before an estimated 900,000 fans in the North Meadow (where all those baseball fields are) on August 7, 1997.

[@scotts1354]

Great info! If only there was a map shown with the locations on this video. But great video!

[@28tlh]

228th view, 25th like and possibly the 18th comment. Whew!! What a tour! How’s your voice? Hope you are resting some between filming days. So good to see you in sunshine, such a pretty day. I had heard of Strawberry Fields and the Lennon memorial, but I did not know it is a “quiet zone”. Interesting that a man of music and demonstration ( stayed in bed for a week to protest the Vietnam War and other things) is remembered this way. Perhaps to make you think, reflect and ‘Imagine”. Take care of that voice...it is your bread and butter! ❤️😃

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Haha thanks Tammy!

[@shifaskn1937]

Yo appreciate the Hustle ❤️

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Thanks shifas!

[@jesf570]

[@TheTravelingClatt]

[@chissac84]

That first bridge is that the same one from home alone?

[@TeamAutismpedia]

You going to Hudson yards I'm checking out the mall that opened up today on Sunday also where Gary vee has his office

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Hudson yards!

[@hoperespect698]

Beautiful

[@TheTravelingClatt]

It is

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

You were in want of a better word there, when describing the obelisk from Egypt. Hieroglyphs are 'chased' into stone. If making an impression, letters or groove into something with mallet & chizel. It's called chasing it out.

[@backdraft1902]

The Pond - where kevin meets the bird lady. Visit NYC in a month...maybe the bird lady too? :P

[@rachelsirett8809]

Love too !!!! Thankyou calling me Rach all my friends do

[@TheTravelingClatt]

My pleasure!

[@arielpustilnik464]

amazing video, and great explanation! cool

[@justingonzalez4208]

John Lennon was also killed across the street from strawberryfields

[@buzzardbrother1911]

My brother lives in Birkenhead UK, he lives opposite Birkenhead Park. Central Park is based on Birkenhead Park which is the first public park. There are some similarities between the two, instead of the baseball diamonds the are cricket pitches and tennis courts, Central Park is much bigger though.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Yeah it's freaking Mass

[@mandonyc.]

Another dope vid 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Thanks pal!

[@Sar_Sar1]

I do ♥️ Central Park tho especially in December like it legit gives me home alone vibes lol ☺️

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Haha it's pretty great

[@Sar_Sar1]

TheTravelingClatt I miss u can U do more videos like seriously 😐🤗😘

[@aldoleon2612]

You forgot to mention The Great Lawn. It was near one of the food carts you were in. It hosts The Global Citizen Festival.

[@dordgs2208]

איזה כיף סרטון חדש :)

[@TheTravelingClatt]

שבת שלום דור!

[@OsamaH-et3ch]

Really good job

[@GEH1]

Meer is lake in Dutch

[@VanCityDLLM]

Be careful when you look go into men's washrooms. The stalls don't have doors so you either see someone dropping one or someone can see you... Hahaja

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Oh boyyy

[@aliabdul94]

You skipped the Conservatory Gardens 😭😭 One of my favorite areas of the park/city overall, which makes the trip to the Northern Central Park worth it. But I understand there were a million other things to cover in the video, plus the Conservatory Gardens are kinda dead this time of year anyways lol.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Yeah it's tough there is soooo much

[@omniufo7350]

May you be released from your fan club...I believe they just want info...sometimes its good to carry a black magic bag....hahah just kidding....your videos are so awesome your so loving and happy and it helps create a loving experience for those who visit...you are a millioinaire.

[@JewishMusicToronto]

I started getting worried when you didn't mention the Museum of Natural History earlier. 😂

[@JewishMusicToronto]

Maoz said it was open, but it wasn't. So... So Israeli!

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Haha oh yeah

[@goodi2shooz]

Ya wanna know what's a really long walk? Kilamanjaro.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Oh Kilimanjaro

[@carlbarton772]

Can you please pre-roll ads, great content just want to watch it in a single hit. Don't mind sitting through ads at the start :-)

[@lenitypious6579]

Cool

[@flor3801]

''Meer'' means lake in Dutch. I think it's one of those words the city kept. Just like the name ''Harlem'', which was named after the city ''Haarlem'' in The Netherlands. EDIT: you perfectly pronounced the word as a Dutch speaker lol

[@FriendlyCleaningKC]

Have you been to Vesel yet?

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Nope

[@lr-hn2ow]

Do 3 star reviews

[@justingonzalez4208]

BRO BOW BRIDGE IS ALSO KNOWN AS PROPOSAL BRIGBE AVERAGE 1-10 proposals occur there not at Bethesda fountain like you said 😂 also the movie Spider-Man 3 was filmed there

[@cedi8027]

meer is german and means ocean

[@たけパパんゆー]

頑張ってねん！！

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Hai!

[@gregd5013]

Anther good video, but the ads are starting to get annoying since they cut your words, sentences, and topics. Is this something I can change on my end?

[@TheTravelingClatt]

If you pay for KZbin premium you can! It'll be ad free and you can still support me. I hope you understand why I need the ads in my videos

[@gregd5013]

No problem, I understand the need, didn't know there was a work around. Thanks

[@1211ninjaa]

Is there a way for you to position the ads where you want (ie placing them so they don’t cut into the middle of your sentences) or does KZbin place them automatically?

[@carolinag3648]
