New York City, August 1993

[@winterlynn9012]

This is the NYC and the music of my preteen years..I was 9 when this was filmed. I love the older Ny. it was gritty,raw and real. Now it's just like a giant shopping mall..

[@robertnussberger2028]

I was living in new york not too long ago, it still looks gritty and real.

[@90sforever97]

90s was the best era ever....

[@TheAbderaman]

a billionaires ghost city is a more accurate depiction

[@liberalweirdo7886]

The twin towers and old Yankee stadium. Two icons of my childhood growing up in Queens that I miss dearly

[@hectorlopez1069]

rest in peace to both of them. They are missed very much in 2022.

[@augustushofmann]

I miss those cool old Caprice and Crown Vics...it's so sad that they replaced them with ugly plastic hybrid crap

[@hectorlopez1069]

Those were sweet cars. I wish I had one of them.

Life moves on bro…

[@FTChomp9980]

Real life Castelia City from Pokemon Black and White! New York is the greatest.

[@carbaccord]

Tracks in this video (that I and a friend could ID, at least): Leaders of the New School - What's Next? Lords Of The Underground - Chief Rocka Wu Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck Burro Banton - Boomwadis [Hip Hop] Tha Alkaholiks - Make Room 2Pac - I Get Around Casual - That's How It Is Great footage of NY before it became the gray soulless gentrified Disneyland that it is now, especially the street shots from 5:35 on.

[@TheAbderaman]

it became a billionaires ghost city and monopilised the skylines is completely disfigured with pencil like apartment towers which are 200m$ each , the real new york will allways be the pre 9 11 , it became a strange place visited by influencers of instagram and hipsters and tech snobs

[@vtech920]

I was 9 Years old when this was filmed. The early 90s was the greatest years!

[@harryshuman9637]

Did you have a Sega or Nintendo?

[@robroy6374]

1990-93 was the best part of the 90s to be honest.

[@justinbricks492]

That Wendy's at 9:56 is on queens blvd and is also where the movie coming to America was filmed and used as McDowell's. That wendys is also no longer their. I wish you had the whole ride down queens blvd

[@carbaccord]

I'd love to see the whole ride with no skipping whatsoever - this is an amazing trip back in time to the last days of NY before the gentrification really set in with some damn good period hip hop on the radio in the background - fits the city like a glove. Speaking of movies, I got some real "Leon The Professional" vibes from the street scenes. Movie was filmed right around the time this footage was shot.

[@ronaldcabral3943]

Was that same Wendy's we're Wendy's massacre took place in year 2000

The old rap music sounds so... bouncy. You can tell why they decided to call it "hip-hop".

[@barnesfam]

I was born in August 1993.

[@dennismolina9033]

I was born in Oct 7, '80, i was 12 going to 13, dam i feel old! lol. The 90s, when everything was old fashioned, no FB, no social media, no 🍎 📱 and Android, very very very few people had cell phones but they were like bricks

[@moomootheking5684]

[@LillyAugusta]

You're young! Cheers! :)

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it....

[@calvincrews3885]

I wonder if someone recorded the Port Authority bus Terminal back in the 90s when they had older MCI models probably not

[@JWFdocumentaries]

I thought this was from 1990 at first but there's music from 95 at the end so who knows

[@peterherr147]

It’s from late August 1993, the cam’s display was tripping out

[@fanpalm8460]

Nice video. What is the title of the song at 6:21?

[@peterherr147]
