New Jersey LIVE Exploring Bergen & Hudson County (January 19, 2021)

[@natureartswe]

Beautiful and interesting walk in New Jersey, I've never seen from there. Great tour!

[@jaenin6572]

Thank you for another great walkabout! The street sign is not a mistake....it's thirty first street (the st is for first and the St is for street.)

[@ActionKid]

It's a bit confusing because the sign behind it says 30 St without the "th", and the first St for 31st Street should be closer to the 31 to indicate that it belongs to the number.

[@jaenin6572]

@@ActionKid Actually you're right. Since they put 31 st St, then they should have put 30 th St. Sounds like the Streets and Transportation Department is not too terribly organized. Once again, thank you for sharing New York City with all of us.

[@bobboberrson]

You walked right by my old block in Cliffside! It's definitely changed the last 10 years wow. A lot of new buildings and shops, but there's also a lot of the old too. Millers bakery, Rudy's, Vincent's. They have all been there for decades. Thanks for the nostalgia!

This was so different and next level. This is why you are the best youtuber

[@FranklinNJ]

That was amazing AK i grew up in West New York, NJ and worked in Fort Lee, thank you so much.

[@ActionKid]

Excellent! I showed you both places!

[@streetsofasia8895]

ActionKid, my fellow walker and honored companion, I am happy to once more make my way over to your channel and witness a great walking tour with you, my friend. Keep up the great work.

AK nice you have been going to NJ learning a lot about it. Congrats beautiful Mural inspiration for my art.

[@TheParkeightykid76]

I remember I used to walk on Bergenline Ave. that I been grew up everytime. But I missed this place and by the way, great video.

[@ks3094]

THANK you very much‼️ I had live in fort Lee for 5years from1989. I miss NJ very very much. from Japan.

[@newmanana]

It’s not a typo its 31st ST!

[@subbuilder3563]

My old GPS reads “635 West forty two street.” It should read “635 West forty second street” instead.

[@ActionKid]

It's a bit confusing because the sign behind it says 30 St without the "th", and the first St for 31st Street should be closer to the 31 to indicate that it belongs to the number.

[@Maxtheyellowlabrador]

lol i thought that too

[@Maxtheyellowlabrador]

@@ActionKid yeah it would be 31'st' and 30'th'

[@Me-ll4ig]

Yes that is correct 31st Street

[@ellen6229]

Thank you AK , Love going on walks with you 😊🙏

[@loribaird3031]

You passed my childhood home. 71 Anderson Ave. Blue house on the left it was cool bro

[@davidhollingsworth1723]

Last time I crossed the GW Bridge was in 1955. There were no tall bldgs at that time. Never was in West New York that I can remember but as a kid there was a little human interest story about a WW 2 vet who joined the National Guard and then in the course of getting set up in civilian life he forgot all about the Guard until the State of NJ arrested him for failure to attend drills. They later dropped the charges and that was his final experience with the NG. Apropo Union City and Weehawken, I would park in one of those areas and catch the bus into Port Authority. It was great walking this tour, I was surprised to see Turkish restaurants in the area. Living in Germany, we have a batch of Turkish businesses here. Love watching these videos and getting appropriately homesick. Keep 'em coming.

[@virginiatoupinkunze8521]

Hello ActionKid, You're doing a great job on your city tours plus you have a lovely speaking voice (at least for women) very relaxing and masculine, FYI, there was NO typo on 31 st Street - in fact, it was not clear because there were 2 abbreviations 31, the first (st) was thirty-first, and the second ST was indeed the abbreviation for Street. Thanks and keep at it. Happy 2021!

[@lovenature2251]

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who saw that. I was going to reply the same thing and then I saw your response🙂

[@MiRoJu.]

1:07:16 Union City is a merge of Union Hill and West Hoboken. Twin City. The Ave is named Bergenline because of the train line that used to run through it. It was called the Bergen Line so the name of the Ave became Bergenline Ave. 1:07:49. Good food actually.

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

I used to live in Union city and buy in Berger line but too many old buildings ugly apt and expensive like a new building. For that I move out but good mayor. Hudson county is for people from New York City to live. And the rents are in high and the devolves are buying the buildings destroyed and built condo for the well off from New York City replacing the locals even the landlords remodel the apt and sell to people who are wealthy.😭😭😭😭😭😡

[@MiRoJu.]

@@JudithSanchez-ht6jn True, the rents have gotten way out hand. And not to mention the taxes. Yikes!

[@NewYorkWalker]

I love this area. it is a place where you can get one of the best views of manhattan skyline

[@ActionKid]

Weehawken is awesome!

[@arnoldberk7686]

I’m from Chgo but I agree . The view from N.J. beats all other views of Manhattan. Rt3 into the helix to the Lincoln Tunnel affords one of the best views.

[@adavila82]

@@ActionKid Thank you for this video!

[@nancypettitt1211]

Great job walking the staircase Kenneth! The views are breathtaking. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work.

[@JP51ism]

I grew up on 37th St. You left Union City into Weehawken @7:00 crossing Park Ave. (Pleasant Ave. is just an arm by Harbor View Apts. & under Rt. 495 to Lincoln Tunnel.) Instead of going right on Jefferson, staying north on Park would have brought you to the old red-brick water tower, a Italian design, & from there go east to Hamilton area. [At the top of Jefferson St. stairs, a few yards south is an old sundial.] @18:05 [you, "OK"] you missed the bust/plaque of Hamilton Duel Site just a few feet south! [Tiny dot on other side of fence by two pedestrians.] "Boulevard East" is the old/common name for "JFK Blvd. East" & parallel to it, back in Union City, is (JF)Kennedy Blvd (formerly Hudson Blvd.) The one by "the cliffs" is Blvd. East. [Highwood connected to Park Ave.] @41:00 you are not crossing into Union City; it's all Weehawken east of Park Ave. Also the *exact* site of Hamilton's duel (on a 'shelf' along the cliffs) isn't known; probably altered by old RR tracks (pre-lite rail) years ago, but the rock his rested on is the base for the plaque & bust BACK when you first made sight of the river.

[@alexibarona5807]

37th St is dope, except for the homeless shelter down by Park Avenue. That place always looks depressing.

[@magorzatagala5915]

Thank you ActionKid for your hard work and dedication always with a smile!!!!

[@Chilupiano]

Thanks for for walking around my old neighborhood of Gutenberg and beyond. You need to go around the lake at that park. It’s truly something to see. Stay safe!

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Hey kid the beginning looked like a walking version of the opening of the Sopranos.

[@DCL26]

My sister lived in Hackensa k, NJ, and the bus that brought me there went through Lodi. Lots of hill! I know you made it back because I know you made videos since. Yes, the homes are old and classic and look like a renovation dream for updating. The views are stupendous at Hamilton Park.

[@MiRoJu.]

Originally this area used to be a borough of New York City, hence the reason there is a West New York. 59:50 East New York in Brooklyn. Eventually it became part of New Jersey but this is the only part of New Jersey that looks like NY borough. West New York actually starts half way through 49th St.

[@doomofthemoon]

I usually watch your walks on mute with music while working out. But lately I've been watching at other moments and listening to your audio. It's great! Today I learned what stream sniping means.

[@MiRoJu.]

Absolutely correct. Cubans are almost non existent now (although there are still a few). Union City is now mostly Dominican and Ecuadorian. Elsewhere uptown there are mostly Central Americans, Colombians and Mexicans. 54:44. The best food here is now Colombian food. Cuban food is down on River Road.

[@howardalbrecht9523]

Used to go to the Burlesque at the Hudson theater in Union City durng the 40's. It was barred in NY, but it was great fun in New Jersey. . Just A bus ride from Manhattan, the comedians, the chorus girls. (Some fat some not so beautiful but all working hard) and the candy butchers going through the audience during intermission. Selling candy with the promise of a genuine watch with a genuine pig skin watch band for only a quarter. Great fun when your a teenager. Oh, and almost forgot, the strippers.

[@siyuecklund4069]

Wow! That’s a long walk.

[@angelikheart8879]

wow I grew up in this area....I am 67 now.... brings back lots of memories,,last time in was here in west new york was 6 years ago

[@BoydXplorer]

Nice long walk around New Jersey Bergen and Hudson County. Great view of NYC skyscrapers. Thanks for the virtual tour. Always stay safe and God bless👍

[@PJBovio]

Me, yet again!! 😜 Union City reminds me of Salem Point, my favorite neighborhood in Salem, MA, that is primarily Puerto Rican. The businesses are Latino owned and operated, and most all of the residents are bilingual and speak English more clearly than the natives because their speech is absent of the Bostonese accent that blurs and obliterates the English language!! 😂😂😂 A close friend and coworker of mine who was a native of Puerto Rico lived in "the Point," so I had the good fortune of spending a lot of time there. This was nearly 40 years ago when I lived in my home state of MA. I still stay connected to my home state, and today, the Point neighborhood has made some improvements and advancements in terms of community support and services as well as children's programs. I felt compelled to share this info after taking your fascinating tour of Union City.

[@andreasbobzin2687]

Hey Ken this was one of your best walks so far ! 👍👍 I watched it the whole evening together with my GF. All the best from Germany under hard Lockdown

[@adavila82]

Thank you for this! I'm from West New York. Next time you should walk on Bergenline Ave from 32nd street up to 80th street park. You're the man!

[@soniapita9953]

AK thank you for the walk you did up and down to give us that extra information about the park is apppreciated

[@janetaudreywilson7043]

Kenneth, LOL. ITS NOT A TYPO, ITS, THIRTY FIRST STREET. (31ST, ST).

Thank you so much for your work! I listen you again and again. 🤗

Awesome video man! Very nostalgic! I was born in North bergen nj and later moved to Miami at the age of 10. Thanks for the content brother!

[@ActionKid]

Awesome!

[@user-th2xz7gy3y]

Amazing walk. You missed the duel site by about 30 feet. And there is a road that goes under the GW right down to the river. You would have been under the bridge and right on the shoreline of the river. But, that was amazing. Come back to Jersey soon, there is a lot more to see!!!

[@58bigjim]

I LUV your work,im right beside you every step of the way,thank you for bringing us knowledge,and opening our eyes to things unseen!!

Great shots of Manhattan. Good camera coverage. Sirens, you know you are in New York.

[@britishtoni7687]

New Jersey -- 31st St. LQQK again closely. It clearly says: 31st (31first).

[@MrKnicks599]

I really enjoy your work. This walk is my old stomping grounds where I lived for many years. Keep it going!

[@PJBovio]

Ohhhh, kiddo!! I watched you climb that staircase and was out of breath on the fifth set of stairs just sitting on much couch!! 😂😂😂 Nothing can more remind you of your age than watching someone young handle a challenging staircase!! 😂😂😂 This was such a fresh, exciting tour, beautiful scenery, breathtaking view of the NYC skyline!! Can't help but think how rather strange it looks without the Twin Towers looming over everything. I never especially cared for the Towers to begin with because they were too imposing, obliterating the rest of the skyline; yet watching them being destroyed was like watching two old friends being murdered in cold blood. Anyway, those beautiful old homes remind me of those right here in St Paul, on Cathedral, Ramsey and Crocus Hills. But I loved even more touring Union City - more urban, right up my alley!!

[@darleneshepard3883]

They have a lot of old colonial homes in New Jersey. I look that view of New York from that park. It's beautiful. Wow! It is breath taking. If I live there I would be in that park looking at Manhattan skyline and walking that park. That staircase I don't think so. Action Kid you did good to challenge the staircase. I commend you because you're in shape to me. I think you're the best tour guide I've seen in a long time.

[@arnoldberk7686]

Nice job very interesting. I have been to NYC a few times and although embarrassed to admit it this part of NJ is my entrance or exit from the city. I was impressed by the cleanliness and lack of graffiti in the area as well as great streets and boulevards with what looks like thriving independently owned businesses as well as beautiful homes .Thank You

[@Empowerman]

Awesome Walkabout!!! Excellent job, esp. since you were never here before!!! Thank You! Should have stayed and not turned on Park, though, as you missed a bunch of other things, though, you can't do everything, I guess...But where you first got lost, in the "Bluff", by Blvd East, you made all the right moves!!! You're were mostly, literally on the Atlantic Palisades, the very Eastern edge of the North American Continent.

[@rubberlegs100]

What an amazing journey you shared .The video was so sharp loved every minute, I actually watched 2 1/2 hrs. Washington bridge 🌉 never seen it before Thankyou 😊

[@cashtimevideo1501]

Yet another epic walk! That stair climb was insane!!! 😮. It must of been around 150 feet high? 😫... Narrow streets and sidewalks/pavements?.... like being in the UK! 😁 😂

Hi ActionKid when I was visiting Union City in 2016, I wanted to walk down those stairs 30:22 but the gate was locked due to Un Safe Stairs in need of repairs. Was there in total of 546 stairs or more stairs? So how many stairs were there, you are not going to tell us!

Hey actionkid. First off, I love what you do. I been watching you since right before 2020. Secoundly, I think you would enjoy a app called Museo. You can take pics of the awesome murals you see like at 7:40 and log where it's at so other can go visit it if they like

[@patdonnelly9392]

I grew up in Bergen Co. but worked in NYC. I live in Cape May now. You should consider taking a day trip down to Cape May at the very tip of NJ. Wildwood is close by. You'd have Lot's to film down here!
