Tom Needs his own travel show

[@curtflirt2]

I H does, he could easily work for the travel channel or something

[@408fastback]

This needs more traction. Totally agree!

[@curtflirt2]

@@melian7403 For a big network we mean

[@cssml8207]

Entertaining, the right amount of info without it becoming encyclopedic, and the host has a nice attitude. Well worth the time!

[@joestewart8914]

Shoutout to Dorlan’s Tavern which, for any tourists, has my FAVORITE burger in the city! Love that you mentioned Jeremy’s Ale House!

[@PierreMarkuse]

Interesting neighborhood and good work by your new camera guy Stewie.

[@annbesthangingout2010]

[@OUTNABOUTwithYoursTrulyLIZZOC]

Oh. Tom you are such a ham, peeking up out of the Seaport sign 😂 Why, hasn’t Hollywood call you up to give you a talk show?!?!? Better yet go on America’s Got Talent!! Thanks for another informative tour!!! 👍❤️

[@maryham6533]

O M G as the kids say!

[@Mrbeahz1]

As you were saying "just what we need, another condo", that eyesore by the Manhattan Bridge came into view.

[@rozwhite4297]

Best KZbin videos I've seen yet on Manhattan. And, I've been searching for two years. Thank you for all you do to educate. Excellent camera work.

[@user-ix5bz4rj7e]

My favorite Pier! Thanks Tom

[@richardbaldwin4928]

Your site is great!before covid I did a whole year ,starting with new years until Christmas at st pats.u have shown me so many things I didn't know. I can't wait to get back.thanks for your site

[@juans3728]

Back then when the Fulton fish Market was there you couldn't walk through there because of the stench coming out of the sewers from the fish slime. Yet all the fish were fresh and distributed by orders. The seaport built after the market moved to Hunts Point, had several restaurants available and several stores to shop . Then there was Captain hooks which many tourists went to pickup pirate stuff, sponges, sea shells etc. Then there was Sloppy Louise which made the most wonderful chowder anyone could have for lower Manhattan.

[@dougb3699]

During your visit to the print shop, it would have been interesting to note where the term "upper case" and "lower case" comes from.

[@ckim336155]

Tom for Mayor

[@rosanneamell4656]

I totally love you Tom, I pray you meet the perfect Woman and Have an amazing life

[@khloevlogs]

Can’t believe they changed Pier 17. I haven’t been down there in like 9 years.

[@annestrmsted9749]

He is so charming!!

[@densnow4816]

Tom is great, but also surprised he didn’t mention South St Seaport role in the slavery industry.

[@clementsphil]

I think he covered that in another video. Sick Plug!

[@RobertoLopezstudyis]

Thanks for showing us the South Street Seaport section of Lower Manhattan and its sites. This is a very good educational video to see.

[@monica-NJ-123]

Its amazing how you remember all the history , well done and thank you 😊

[@daichen1980]

This was one of my fav spots to visit back in the days. It has no soul now.

[@andrasszerencses]

I acctually missed that part of Manhattan, I've been there only 2x and I never knew about those hidden places. Great video!

[@user-di2on5gl2d]

Was the Fulton fish market in the '60's & '70's.

[@betsyduane3461]

US time zones began on November 18, 1883, America’s railroads began using a standard time system involving four time zones, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific.

[@TXMEDRGR]

Tom, you should have lawyered that security guard.

[@elizabethhestevold1340]

My grandfather, was a Captain off Tall Ships era, into steam. Have Picture off him at New York Harbor. He should only know , I immigrated from Denmark. Had my Art time in New York , Brooklyn, when studing Art at NYU.. lots off good memories. Press machine awesome, they had one at" Print Workshop" in Village, for Art, am also gravure artist. Love that part off visual art. Pearl Street , where you got fine Art materials. Brooklyn Bridge great...🎨🦅🗽🇺🇸🇩🇰🎉📬agree with your purpose,people history.🌉Well Done⭐

[@johnfritz8675]

Just one thing. The lighthouse that was a memorial to the Titanic was originally on top of the Seamens institute. Not too far from where it is now. The South Street Museum was able to save it. When I last saw it was just sitting on the dock at the museum. At that time, they only had the light ship, a schooner, and a sailing ship. The light ship was the Ambrose, and the sailing ship was the Wavertree. The Museum was just getting started. The neighborhood was not very nice at the time either. Abandoned cars trash and generally run down. Good video.

[@depotwan]

Love Jeremy’s. I’ve had some good times in there…..I think.

[@carriebenner8075]

Believe it or not, I ran an old press like one in your video. I only did it one Christmas season for a place called Miles Kimball. I printed on lunch bags and paper bread bags. That was about 30 yrs ago. I came home at night with more ink on me than the machine.

[@stevetaylormynewyorkcity9728]

I thought for a minute you were gonna walk past the old Fulton Fish Market without talking about it! Lol Another great video Tom, there's some fantastic history to be told about that area and you nailed it, yet again!

[@Zoehere]

the south street seaport museum is so great! and largely because of the sheer number of artifacts they have. like you mentioned there was so much pottery and jewelry and personal belongings excavated in these parts and the museum has it all! the other best part is the amazing old boats they've up-keeped. you can walk on them and evrything, they are so grand!

[@cathpeterson1944]

Love the history of South Street Southport, so cool cobblestone streets, beautiful views at Pier 17, my favourite area in NY ❤️

[@tedmichaels1951]

All of Tom’s videos are filled with tons of interesting information. He should have his own show on the history channel, or Discovery,orTravel Channel

[@cruzcasusol6056]

Tom,you just like history encyclopedia . This place bring back memories.

[@MariaJotalhao]

I miss New York so much! 🧡

[@markfaricelli7672]

It's a cool area. It was not mentioned on the video, but a really Great AMC series was filmed there. The series Rubicon was filmed at the seaport area around the Fulton Fish Market and the Brookland Bridge.

[@debsterlee3801]

One of the few areas of Manhattan I haven't visited. Top of my list for next time. Great video!

[@lupelupelupe]

what a gorgeous, smart man!

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

Yes, and such a beauuutiful personality! He clearly knows his stuff, and enjoys sharing with us! Fun, witty, and very informative!! I've never been to New York, but I have a friend who was born and raised there. She lives in Texas now (same as myself) and it's clear that although she's adjusted well, ...this is not her home. 'Home' will Always be New York for her!!!😎

[@295g295]

23:28 - Pier 17 was developed by the Rouse Company as an urban 'festival marketplace' mall similar to developments they had done at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston and Baltimore Inner Harbor.

[@jennygibbons1258]

👍🏾 Love these where you interact more with people.it’s another strength you have, not just head knowledge. Thanks 👌🏾

[@deepvalue3598]

Tom did not give you a little heart thing . . . he skipped over you . . Thats wierd.

[@nanwilder2853]

“Head knowledge” ?!! As opposed to (juvenile) backwards-trucker-hat knowledge? Or watch-me-piss-off-this-security-guard knowledge? Or is it ‘another strength he has’ : Speed-talking through broad-strokes historical info, while cracking wise with the photographer knowledge ?

[@simon7762]

Thanks Tom!

[@1BigBucks1]

I miss Paris Cafe, was a great place

[@cynterslave]

I worked in the building above Tkts. It’s a great area of the city. Ate at the Paris Cafe often, so I’m sad to see it’s closed. Was hoping you’d explain the clock wall above the Starbucks, as I could never get the story. Love your tours though!

Tom, we need Sick Plugs of any of your tours and comedy shows, if you’re doing them. I was waiting for a joke when you passed the “Imagination Playground”, so I guess I’ll just keep my own punchline in my own head. Great job as always! You, too, Stewie!

The symphony hall in my hometown of Nashville is named for Kenneth Schermerhorn. He was from upstate New York, but I wonder if he was part of the same family.

[@emiliocardemil9389]

Hi Tom, excellent! Greeting from Santiago.🇨🇱

[@michaelmorrison9]

Great tour. Thank you!

[@kylestout4989]

Good video….love it! You are good!

[@constance480]

Another fantastic video. Thanks Tom!!!!

[@overgeared]

kindof a tourist trap and the public restrooms tend to attract some crazy people but glad to get some historical context on the area!

[@hungrysoles]

I've been there .It's very nice. You shoud have mentioned that on Pearl Street is a plaque where Thomas Edison had a power plant in 1882 where he wired a portion of Manhattan to show the feasibility of electricity. to light streets. J.P. Morgan was one of the investors and had his house wired also.

[@krisat16]

Great video. Lower manhattan should be car free periodt

[@sonamcloud]

Always enjoyed your tour videos. Keep it up man.

[@jazrealpretty9383]

Tom got way cooler when he grew out his beard and hair!

[@stevied6965]

If we can ever travel to to ny again with our having to prove our medical history we will take your tour. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸✌🏻

[@carlo6912]

Love all the insider info. As always, great job.

[@airwatersun]

That's the new Jeremy's location...much smaller and not as nice and the older location which was huge! Famous in its day for the cut off ties and bras, extra, extra large tap beer in styrofoam cups and great fries, onion rings, burghers etc.The place to .be after work down there.
