[@guillermovargas8564]

Fun fact: According to data from Open Table, you can eat at a different spot once a day for 22.7 years and never go to the same place twice... Great video, thank you!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes one of my favorite nyc facts!

[@jasonmims5057]

I'm going to new york in a month. I'm feeling really overwhelmed planning the trip because im going to be traveling all by my self.

[@QuieroMiCacao]

Jason Mims how was it? I have a friend who lives in Brooklyn but because he has to work I’m pretty much on my own. :)

[@juanmanueldiazortiz7054]

Hi Jennifer I'm practicing my listening skills in english with your videos, they're so good. You're a charismatic girl, love you.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoy my videos and they are helping with your English listening! Honored, thanks for watching! :)

[@michaels8597]

Take your time and just get a camera,charge your phone,bring a powerblock,bring some snacks,comfortable shoes,some liquids,and WALK>...Bronx..City Island,for some incredible views,food,and a great historical area...NYC..see Chinatown/Little Italy...Brooklyn..Pier2,Squibb Park,Williamsbridge...see the museums and libraries around the city and boros...check out what's left of the Village..check out the Samsung Store on 13th street,west side... I am a street shooter so i am getting images in every boro,Long Island,and even upstate when i can get there,and I usually eat locally finding cheap and good eateries..NYC is the center..lol

[@jhalla4004]

We have Shake Shack’s all over US. I wouldn’t eat at a chain if visiting NY. I’d like to try something new 🤔

[@lALPRINCEl]

I'm going to NYC for the first time in next Wednesday (22 hrs long airplane from Asia ) super exited

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yay how exciting! Hope you have an amazing trip! :)

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Oh Jennifer Jennifer. Where were you back in the days when I used to cover NYC for my company's sales? Well, you probably were in diapers. LOL! In the 1980's I spent many days calling on customers and prospective customers there in the Big Apple. I always finished business in the mid afternoon, so I had lots of time to roam around the city. I roamed aimlessly, not knowing where there were nice things to do places to eat. When I watch your vlogs I realize how much I missed. You are by far the best NYC vlogger. Cheers!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thank you so much that means the world! So happy to share my favorite things with you!

[@spaceghost4474]

The food looks amazing. I thought you were carrying toy when I first saw that rainbow bagle. I love this video. SOOOO much fun to watch. I think I'll go get a pastrami sandwich now! 🥰👻

[@aliciabae7522]

You deserve more likes! I love your guide. I visited NYC twice 10 years ago for a short time, it was full of life and energy. I am hoping to go there again to try all of your recommendations!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thank you so much means the world! Yes hope you get to come visit again soon!

[@JackandGabExplore]

Hi Jen, I've said it before and I'll say it again, love your work. Have been to NYC many times, love it... we always come in our summer (ugh) to miss the heat of January. From Brisbane Australia. So, here's my suggestion for an upcoming video... "Winter In NYC"

[@RicoResolves]

Hey Jen, do you have any plan to visiting California soon?

[@Jenniferobrien]

LeAw Leave Everything and Wander I don't think so! Last year I also went to SF but my travel schedule changes frequently so maybe?!

[@leaw]

Nice! We are an Italian couple traveling Americas on a truck camper. We are on the road since 14 months. And we love to meet people and collaborate with other artists 😀👍😉

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh awesome, would love to meet up and collaborate! Let me know if you're ever driving near NYC! :)

[@Das_Vert]

Not gonna go to the touristy spots like ESB, two minutes later, GO TO KATZ DELI!.... lmao. What a tourist trap that place is.

[@Maki-00]

I moved away from NYC in 2015 and this makes me miss it so much! If I ever get rich, I'll move back, LOL!

if u ACTUALLY want to eat good pizza go to luigi´s near pratt institute for eating on the go, its nothing fancy but the pizza is amazing or if u want to have a cozy sit down dinner go to saraghina

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

Nice video!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thanks so much!

[@oathpeterson]

I had never seen colorful bagel. It is first time on your video. 🤪 My most impressive helicopter ride was at Glacier National Park Montana the 2nd was Niagara Falls.😇 Btw, your video is helpful, if I have a chance to visit NYC I will take as my reference.

[@annceide6998]

Joes pizza was honestly so good

[@Jenniferobrien]

True it is good, my favorite right now though is Best Pizza in Williamsburg!

[@3rdtimeunlucky]

Last chance. GoooOOoOoo!

[@faithjavines809]

Hi Jen! Thanks for your great videos, very helpful! I wanna know, how long does it usually take to visit Central Park, Times Square, MET, Grand Central Station, Big Rock Observatory, and Empire State Building?

[@Jenniferobrien]

Great question, Central Park can be a full day as it is HUGE, Times Square can take between 10 minutes to 1 hour depending on how much time you want to spend in the crowded area! The Met can be 2 hours or a full day if you try to see it all! Grand Central can be 30 minutes, it's stunning definitely worth visiting. I love the Top of the Rock Observatory deck more than the top of the Empire State Building because the Empire State Building is in your view! Each can take 2-3 hours depending on lines and how long you stay taking photos. Hope that all helps, thanks for watching and subscribing! :)

[@srijohnyonly]

Like the video and video clarity.. what is the camera/ lens used ??

[@superhap]

Love this video and tips

[@alexsievar792]

Você é encantadora quando se mostra, ficou lindo o vídeo, até mais.

[@exploringmeerkats]

*Arthur Avenue in the Bronx is def not a 'new' Little Italy* It's been around for over a century, but it's definitely a great place to visit.

[@patriciatagliabue5037]

thank u for the great tips

[@leticiarosas8547]

Can you make a winter guide!

[@urbansoul4472]

Love the video I had to sub and like!! Thank you. Me and my friends are traveling to NYC in the next 2 weeks and we’re sooo excited!! What location were you at at the end of the video. @ like 13:38. AMAZING VIEWS.

[@lynetterenee5851]

Such an amazing informative guide!! Love it ❤️

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thank you so much, means the world! :)

AMAZING video :) Makes me wanna book a flight to NYC now! and do a food tour

[@thegeneral123]

But but but... I love the ESB! ;-) Enjoying the video though Jen!

[@thegeneral123]

Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory???? You're the first KZbinr to mention this place (that I follow anyway)! Adding it to my must do list now.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Haha oh sorry! Love it too thank you so much!

[@artyb7696]

Nice video. I am not from NYC so it would have been nice to see photos or videos of the items you are referring to e.g. No xy Times Square then you don't show Times Square.

[@Sujey82]

my husband and I are going to nyc for the 1st time this may for a mothers day weekend. we are having a hard time trying to figure out where to stay. we are big foodies. but we want to be able to go to bars and nightclubs at night and want to be close to our hotel . what area do you suggest has the best dance club and bars and its safe at night? any good hotels you recommend? thank you!

[@AlexiHarding]

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful video!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thank you so much, really appreciate it!

[@vernievuitton]

THANK YOU JEN!! Taking an emergency trip for 1 day and this helps so much!! I'm not dreading my 8 hour stay anymore! Hell, I may end up staying an extra night and catching a show on Broadway!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Vernon Miller oh yes I am so glad you are no longer dreading your short stay! Yes I hope you can stay an extra night and catch a show! There are so many great ones, my favorite is Wicked, I’ve seen it 3 times and I just did a behind the emerald curtain tour (you have to sign up weeks ahead as they sell our) for $33 this past weekend and loved it! Hope you have a wonderful trip!

[@vernievuitton]

@@Jenniferobrien Wow that Wicked tour sounds amazing!! I havent had the chance to see Book of Mormon yet and always wanted to so that might be the one this trip! I'd have to buy a new plane ticket home for 130ish but i think itd be worth it.. I was thinking I should stay at Jazz on Columbus hostel to save money and accommodate the new plans

[@kierabyrnemusic]

Here from Sarah Funks Utube. Thank you so much for your great videos. I am coming to Newyork Next year on hoilday and have gotten so many great ideas now, so thank you. I haven't booked tickets yet as I'm still wondering if I should go to Newyork in the summer or winter? Which do you recommend?

Omg this so beautifully shot! How did you do these smooth walking shots? I have always wanted to do that! Also, great suggestion on the islands!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Ah thank you so much! Really appreciate it! Yes my friend used the newest gimbal - just added the link in my bio! You could totally do that shot too on your GoPro, maybe add a small mic to your phone for even better audio? Thank you so much! Roosevelt Island is one of my favorite places!

[@CrazyJokersTV]

This video was 👍🏽 great

[@newyorkcitydaily7669]

I live in NYC and have never seen a colorful bagel. I will need to find it.lol
