How to visit New York with an RV: World Trade Center, The High Line and more - Traveling Robert

We camp at Liberty Harbor RV Park, in Jersey City and from there it is a very easy commute to Manhattan. We visit the 911 Memorial, One World Observatory at the new World Trade Center. Then we take a walk on the High Line, and then wander around Chelsea and Gramercy, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the Big Apple.

I'm french and this is such a pleasure for me to watch and ear you in order to improve my english!

[@TravelingRobert]

Glad you find it useful. Thank you!

[@ZiggZagg11]

I could never do a trip by myself as you did... The breakdown of your tow vehicle and finding a replacement and then continuing on... New York by yourself... I would have been just overwhelmed... Good job... Great video... 😯

[@TravelingRobert]

Not my favorite way to travel. In Philly and New York I was joined by my wife but she doesn't like to be on camera.

[@paulkrause6072]

I recently discovered Traveling Robert and his fabulous videos and music. Like him putting a sticker on each state he visits, I am going to post this comment on all the ones I watch! You da Man, Robert!!

[@jackieblack4422]

I have done NY several times, first time seeing the new train station and the Highline. The Museums on 5th Ave are all a must see. Thanks for sharing.

[@fathercarras28]

I absolutely enjoy your narrative, your voice and your accent

[@williemal3058]

Love this video. From a born & raised New Yorker. Bravo.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@gumshoe5365]

I love seeing New York through your eyes. Thank you.

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

We moved to New York back in 1955. My father was a construction electrican. We moved across the bay from NYC to Rockaway Beach. We lived up there for 4 years. We came back to Tennessee to get our trailer and moved across the river to a trailer park in Bayonne, New Jersey. My mother and I would get on bus and go shopping in NYC. My mother was on The Price is Right in 1958. We moved back to Tennessee in 1959. My Mother and I did not want to leave But my father got traansferred to a job here. I like your channel. Hope you have a wonderful week.

[@jawtin]

Robert I love your commentary about the life of New York. It is spot on. My family visited the city for the first time this past summer and one day we did the same thing...just randomly walked and absorbed it all.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@jeffreymccommon8759]

good one Robert.Dad died on Aug 5 2001 just before 911...best I've seen of ground 0...Jerry l Sr.Spc.6 1st class field and staff Sgt.US ARMY.15 yrs active duty...R.I.P. 1960-1975 Korean War

[@jeffreymccommon8759]

Korean War.

[@commonsensenews9450]

New York guy to watch is actionkid on KZbin. He walks around and gives hints for good food at reasonable prices. Good video Robert. Thanks

[@dodgeguyz]

Another great video. We were there in July of 2018. Liberty Harbor is a good deal for where and what it is. We took the Path for a few days into NYC. And the other ferry to Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty. After 3 days of underground traveling the ferry is the way to go. Yes the 911 memorial is amazing I’ve never heard so much silence. Even though there were little kids in there there was no screaming. It was as if they knew to be quiet and respectful. Very somber and a good way to remember those that perished!

[@cruzcasusol6056]

Wow!! Robert, your trip brings back memories, NY, my hometown after my Peter Pan flight from my country Cuba . I used to work by the World Trade Center right before 9/11 Robert Your trip inspired me. God bless you!

[@jeffreymccommon8759]

Wife's grandfather was a 30 yr..NAVY man...Kenneth Mark Schwing.R.I.P.A combined total of 45 yrs.of active duty...

[@Marchant2]

I've seen a lot of NYC tour videos, and yours is far and away the best. Awesome narration. Sights and architecture I'd never seen before. I want to go back there now. Your singing isn't half bad either. Impressed.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@nam6866]

WOW.and WOW. You are a great tour guide and narrator. Thank you.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@friend7897]

Thanks for transporting me to places I can only dream about...watching from Cape Town South Africa during lockdown. Love your singing👌

[@ericramey6743]

Great Review of Liberty Harbor and NYC. For those who choose the “No Tolls” option it will route you on the GSP (Garden State Parkway) and few other roads that are not conducive to larger RV’s.

[@Matt_from_Florida]

You should incorporate more singing in your videos, I like it. I used to work with a woman who had a beautiful singing voice and it was a wonderful calming experience every time she did.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you, I think I will

[@gardensofthegods]

Yes it was really fun seeing him at the piano towards the end

[@ernestoquintero747]

Robert, your video reminded me growing up in metro NYC, lived a short time in Manhattan after arriving from Cuba in late 60's. @24:26 weird white building across street, I performed service call at that building and several firms at original WTC in the 80's. I used to ride my motorcycle to JC RV park/marina. Using a motorcycle is a fast and efficient way to travel in metro NY, specially into Manhattan, parking's easy and free, plus tolls are way less than cars on tunnels/bridges. Safe travels.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Driving a motorcycle in Manhattan sounds dangerous though

[@scothorne8448]

Thank you for the new video Robert. We always enjoy watching them. "Fly pelican fly!"

[@TravelingRobert]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@deplorablerai9802]

Awesome! Thank You Robert from a disabled person in your debt for you sharing these experiences...

[@speshul7525]

The best tour of NYC that I have ever seen

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@gustavokennedy213]

Thank you Robert for going up the tower observatory even dough it was not that clear. I had friends or friends who lost loved ones on 9/11.

[@C-TOS]

Your thoughts about NYC made me tear up a bit, it reminded me of the reflections of the late Anthony Bourdain in his travel channel and CNN shows.

[@happyhighway106]

#236 Thanks, Robert, fpr taking me along. I cannot walk well, so this video was a welcome sight. The new Tower was most impressive. Hey! The Winnebago Trend 23B is like the one I have, and I have 63,511 miles on it with plenty more to go! I agree with your presentation and thoughts about New York City.

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

After this video, I see everything is possible. Great video.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@nilsalata287]

I use your videos to learn English! Grateful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TravelingRobert]

Glad to help

[@christianfunes1207]

Me too! 🤓

[@dhmcc9882]

Great video Robert. This is professional documentary quality.

[@colinblake24]

That was very enjoyable!

[@latada2198]

Robert... This was just awesome! You are so very talented! I love love your singing. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and adventures with us

[@kend3900]

Sunday morning with a strong cup of coffee and a new Traveling Robert video is becoming a tradition at my home. Thanks for what you do!

[@montanagirl4530]

Binge watching your travels today. . .seeing the congestion of NYC compared to Slab City is crazy! Thank you👏

[@TravelingRobert]

We have a very diverse country, that's for sure.

[@rithwikkofficial4311]

Finally you show the more urban side of New Jersey.

[@GAFisherman]

Great to see you back on the road again. Would like to see more about your new truck.

[@abbyabby4625]

Very good singing and narrative voice. And thanks for showing us around New York Robert. Great video as usual 🤗

[@jesserevilla992]

Robert so glad the day turned out great instead of rain! Been to NYC on a few occasions. But love my Florida!

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, it was cloudy but at least it didn't rain

[@GatorDwight]

Great video Robert! Happy to be a Pelican Head!

[@timinsandiego6979]

I have to say, you do a great job with your videos. I thoroughly enjoy them. Keep up the good work.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@josephrobichaud5198]

That's so cool there was RV parking so close to down town!

[@beverleysteele4151]

My favorite city.....worked in the financial district in New York, but lived in Jersey. Just a girl from the Midwest

[@dingquixote]

I enjoyed this New York tour. Thanks much

[@irdiverdan]

Great video...I got a kick watching you go through those "pink" traffic lights while in New Jersey...that train station was awesome!!!

[@carlavision6143]

Leaving you another comment. Thank you for sharing your New York video! You've taken me somewhere I'll never get to see in person.

[@TravelingRobert]

I'm so glad you liked it

[@debbiewerner7124]

That was a great tour. Thank you. Have never been into the city. ❤

[@yankeebiscuitfan]

VERY, VERY, VERY nice video again. Keep up the good work Robert.

[@barbarafre.2657]

Very,very nice video about New York 👍🏻Thanks for sharing !

[@slc6288]

Hey!! Just stumbled across your channel - it's amazing. It's our plan for the near future to do exactly what you are doing, and it's so inspirational to see you doing just that - power to you..... thanks for making us see that our dream can actually become a reality. New subscribers following your journey for sure! Hope you're having an awesome day :)

[@bust6665]

That was excellent Robert, you just gave me a another expedition for 2019. Phile then NY, never would have believed we could stay so close in our RV...Great video

[@pilotdiana]

I put off watching this video don’t know why. And it a WOW!!!! Thanks Robert it’s one of your best. Makes me want to jump in my Thor Chateau and head that way.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you! Glad you liked it

[@SocratesWS]

Howdy Robert,many thanks for sharing yet another Morales Superproduction here which I watched,as usual, with great pleasure and undivided attention just now.A real 'titbit' to the eye and ear,surely,bud..Best wishes and cordial greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe

[@christianfunes1207]

I love your videos Robert. I remember when I was in NYC the last year.

[@priyamason7365]

Great video. NYC is such a unique city to fall in love with.

[@tiffanybenson814]

Jersey is my home and NY was my play ground growing up. Really enjoyed watching you explore, havent been home or NY since 911. I moved south but keep traveling cause I am watching 👍👍👍.

[@TravelingRobert]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Smitty_Tube]

Well done Robert! Well done! NYC is on our bucket list so it's great to great a nice preview through your camera lens. Quite a place!

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

We enjoyed your video Robert.What a beautiful building in New York. Thank you to you and your family for your share of videos. Do not ever think we do not appreciate you and your wonderful work. Have a great week Robert to you and your wonderful mother, wife and son. We look forward to finding out what you buy for a truck...Bye for now...Nice music.....Carolyn and Colin Hogarth

[@rvingmontanezway103]

Great video Robert I’m glad you got to experience The Fast life of NY city. My wife is from Newark NJ and I got family in Brooklyn and Manhattan and at of all NY city I find that Central Park is truly a special place to visit.. now I’m down in the sunshine state it will be a long time before I go up there.. now I’m heading west 🙌😁👍 great job

[@melvinbarrier1902]

As always another great video.

[@MauriceKingpin]

Great Video Robert. I didn't want it to end.

[@dannywhitlock8309]

Hi, Robert ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome traveling adventure tour of New York, I’ve never been to NYC and your video was amazing, that elevator was so cool in the One World Trade Center and the view from the top was spectacular. I’m glad the weather was good so you walk around the city and see all the amazing sights. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny

[@imaoky4440]

Hi Robert! New viewer here. My husband and I love watching your long road trips. We too, have a travel trailer. You motivate us to do more traveling. No body in our family understands "Driving to the west,into the sunset...". It's forever stuck in our heads. LOL Safe travels. Keep on traveling.

[@TravelingRobert]

I'm sorry about the song stuck in your head LOL. Thank you , glad you liked it, and see you on the road

[@imaoky4440]

If you are ever in Arizona again, check out the Huachuca Mts outside of Sierra Vista.

[@auroranite]

Great great footage Robert. Thank you. We enjoyed this close up view of NYC. You make it all look so easy to get around. Encouraging for those of us who hesitate “Big City” trips. Views atop World Trade Center was fantastic. Great zoom on that camera work.

[@mfhairstream6812]

Great Video. NYC has always been one of my favorite cities

[@Dr.SalvatoreVinciguerra]

Beautiful train station. I love the architecture of the building inside and out. One World Trade Center looks awesome! The elevator reminds me of Soaring at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Definitely a trip I would like to do with my RV.

[@johnnyc4200]

As always very good video.Thanks

[@andrewgurney6019]

Great video and your best for a long time, many thanks

[@TravelingRobert]

Glad you liked it. Thank you!

[@dreamhunter272]

great video of the city! totally enjoyed it.

[@TheChickBowdrie]

3 minutes in and I was worried you wouldn’t play the theme song then BAM! “Cuz I’m free in my RV yaaaaah”

[@christinestange4813]

What a wonderful visit to The Big Apple! I used to travel to NYC every couple of weeks....used to meet my colleague coming off the PATH train into the Twin Towers from Jersey. As a group we would enjoy a drink at the Windows on the World after the work day. Still terribly sad seeing the absense of the towers although I enjoyed seeing your footage of One World Trade Center. Also love see the Skyline ....on my bucket list. Nice seeing you and Ileana in the reflection ....very creative! You are right .....no place like New York. Thanks Robert!

[@suzyq3746]

What can I say Robert but that was an exceptional video. Wow....

[@edwardpetty5401]

Great video Robert. You sort of brought me back home. I am from NJ, and now live in Fl. like you. I was nice to see some familiar sights.

[@62csicsi]

I live here ! Great video Robert !

[@pippypipettes3876]

Just Great as usual! thanks

[@bf7378]

I’ve been following your channel for a short time and love all the camping /travel videos , partly inspiring my wife and I to buy an RV and do a little traveling ourselves,, Being a New Yorker I must say this video was maybe my fav so far , I’ve lived here my entire life and love to see people’s perspective when visiting ,,and I didn’t know there was an RV park in jersey lol,, added to my list of places to stop when we get ours ,, thank you so much , 👍

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

loved it, thanks.

[@rejane5660]

Bom dia ! MR Robert DEUS Abençoe você e sua Linda família ! Sucesso !

[@solavarria1]

I was at that exact same park (Liberty Harbor RV park) back in June of 2018. I remember you had to check out by 11 a.m. or they would literally charge you for another day even if you were 10 minutes late checking out. Also, no sewer hookup we had to make a line the next day to dump at the only one station they had (which was a very messy area). On the plus side, it was close to Manhattan and we were able to travel back and forth on the NY Waterway ferries.

[@sylvester01ful]

Thank you. Typically NYC is presented with such hype and bravado that I can take only about five seconds of it. You made NYC feel like a real place on earth, where real people eat, sleep and work--not just a place for celebrities, billionaires, and over-priced, over-rated stuff. Thanks to you, I feel I could visit there as just another place in time, an unbiased sense of history and geography. Someone commented below that you reminded him of Anthony Bourdain; and I agree, except that his hometown, NYC, is the one place on earth where even he would not convey his usual sense that we all share a common humanity.

[@djwestbrook36]

New York City is where you will understand that we all share a common humanity THE MOST. You need to come to NYC and visit all the five boroughs and neighborhoods. You will learn more about America and the world than driving through five midwestern states.

[@gardensofthegods]

I really enjoyed this one and oddly enough the last time I was in Manhattan was September 25th 2001. We were at the top of the World Trade Towers back around July 4th 1986... and even though I enjoyed the view I had to spend most of it sitting down.... because it felt like my legs had turned to Jell-O. Thanks for this excellent and fun vid ....that Highline was really cool . Seeing and hearing you at the piano at the nephew's apartment was a wonderful bonus !

[@jsolar3987]

Very entertaining and informative video Robert. Thank you for sharing you traveling experience. NY is in my family planning trip, but definitely I need to get in a better shape with all the walking 👍☺️.

[@rafaelmdiaz11]

Hey you visited my home once again. NICE ! Funny I've been to every spot you showed on the video and worked all over manhattan.

[@adoboy5520]

I’ve been looking for information about how to explore New York by RV. Thank you for giving us tips on how to get around New York good info.

[@TerryB751]

Wonderful. Never been to NYC - definitely wouldn't want to drive along narrow streets with an RV in tow, but you did a great job in the big apple.

[@ritamcnabb2583]

Robert you are such a pro!! Like I always say...by far better than the Travel Channel!! I also agree that you should sing more in your videos...love your singing AND your music!!🎵🎶

[@dodgeguyz]

We stayed there this year, 2018. It’s definitely not a resort but good for visiting NYC. Nice view of the Statue of Liberty and the marina with all the boats and yachts!

[@sportsfan1765]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@drevoborod8613]

Elevator was really impressive! And Highline - wish i'll visit it sometimes..

Definitely worth a visit

[@hvidesande1]

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you, enjoy!

[@SwapnilAcharya]

Man, the human river bit was deep.

[@gardensofthegods]

Next time you're in the Philadelphia area you really should head to New Hope Pennsylvania... that whole area around there this fascinating and Bucks County is marvelous although I haven't lived there in a long time but was fortunate enough to do so years ago back when it was still a lot of gorgeous truly breathtaking land and a community with artists writers and farmers. Although it has changed immensely people tell me it's still great to go there and you might want to check out the area and River Road traveling north from New Hope . Also when I was listening to your live stream Saturday afternoon and at the end you did your song... I really liked it so much better than the one that is at the beginning of most of your videos. I really wish someday when you have the time you will change the song at the beginning so that it is more authentic and we hear you and your personal style, your personal stamp on it .

[@FOTZEL]

Best one yet!(as I'm a New Yorker by birth!)

[@carlavision6143]

I'm 2 minutes in watching your video and love it! Wished I could visit New York City but, it's not possible.

[@dalethomas2896]

Happy Thanksgiving Robert

🌞awesome video as always🌞🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@jeremoe1]

Great video! I went to NYC with my small camper in tow - camped out at Camp Gateway, which is located in Brooklyn at a deserted air field called Floyd Bennett Field. It's operated by the National Park Service. It was pretty decent with clean rest rooms and showers. When you showed the fancy station, first thing I thought of was the inside of a whale. I was surprised when you mentioned that. Now, after seeing this video, I really want to return there because there was so much I didn't see on my last trip there. I paid quite a bit in tolls coming from New Orleans. I wasn't expecting to pay that much - guess I didn't do enough homework on preparations for the trip. I'll know what to expect next time I go, which I'm projecting to be the summer of 2019, spending at least 4 to 5 days there. Would like to stay longer, but it's kind of expensive. Thanks for sharing the experiences of your trip. I just subscribed to your channel.
