New York: The Greatest City in the World? (Extraordinary Place Documentary) | Real Stories

[@EC-mg4gb]

As an european guy visiting New York is a long time dream. I don't think I could live in such busy, crowded city but I would absolutely love exploring all of it, it seems so interesting.

[@jessicajames4493]

Wow, that was the only documentary about New York that got me as a grown up!!! The inside views into the life of the people, and really normal people I can relate to, was sooi good!!!

[@jmc8076]

Not all info given correct incl history of natives and some things glossed over.

Hi if you haven't already, check out "New York: A Documentary" by PBS it was quite moving. It's a whole series and on KZbin

[@TheMibiha]

Being from Denmark, I first visited New York 4 years ago, but immediately fell in love with this city. I love its dynamic and entrepreneurial spirit, its charm, its beauty and energy. Maybe I could never live there, but I feel that once you have lived there, you’re never going to leave it unless forced to! I surely hope to be able to return to “the Big Apple” some day!

I’ve lived 63 of my 67 year.,The four years when i lived elsewhere, i was in southern Connecticut, where I went to college. Sy aI could not imagine myself living anywhere else. My friends say that was I born in the middle of the Woody Allan movie. I couldn’t imagine, living anywhere else. It is Part of who i am. I Couldn’t imagine living in any city without the Met, the Guggenheim ,Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden Central Park or broadway, name just a few of the things I love about New York City. It is a very special place,that I am happy to call home.

[@neverunderestimatemybeing]

those singers were all letting go of the pain body through singing. Actual the best choir I've heard in a long time so beautiful. I love how Griff tries a bunch of different jobs/experiences of New Yorker that takes guts.

This was incredible! Thank you Griff, for this amazing look into our city! I hope you visited again after this. There’s still way more to see 🗽

New York is my home and no city in the world can compare, but there are much better places to live and raise children besides NYC!

This comment needs to be pinned 📌 I love NY too but I’d never want to raise a family there. 💯

Pittsburgh, rated the most livable city in the USA

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

It's well known that most New Yorkers move to Jersey or L.I. when it's time to settle down and start a family. The only ones who stay are those that can afford a 7 figure 2-bedroom apartment.

[@RampinRabit]

Do you have a boiler in your home?

[@black_sheep_nation]

I was raised in NYC. I'm so grateful for it. I could hop a bus to the Upper West Side and be at the History Museum, get a NY slice, or a hot dog, and walk across Central Park to the East Side. Along the way, I'd see dancers, and artists, and come across all sorts of life. On the East side, there's the Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim, or maybe another art show. By 6 pm, I was home for curfew. 😂😂 NYC is a GREAT place for a kid to grow up! I ❤ NY. Pin that.

[@Nikotastik]

There’s good and bad in NYC like any city. I get tired of money-focused mentality and the bad smells, but the cultural diversity and opportunities here are wonderful.

[@phoenixrising5088]

But NYC has Zero culture. It's a concrete jungle. No beautiful ancient Cathedrals, Theatres, Churches, Libraries, very old Pubs. It has absolutely No Class. It's one huge Rat Race.

[@deanjackson625]

New York city will always be no 1 beautiful of Madison Square garden , Yankees stadium and always a great experience. Food , fashion and entertainment are new york charm. Our home

[@phoenixrising5088]

Ugly city. UK and Europe have stunningly beautiful Cities with ancient buildings, culture and History. NY is a high rise concrete jungle full of crazy gun using maniacs. No thanks. I'll stay in London UK

It was wonderful growing up in the 50's just across the Hudson and experiencing NYC especially with the trips to tour and shop and learn history from my grandfather who was NYC born. And my father would take me to do a delicatessen run for wonderful foods. Now an elder far from any decent metropolitan city, I still watch videos and at home do my best to make deli delight meals from what I can make or gather.

[@flashgordon6670]

I remember seeing this on TV a long time ago. I can’t remember exactly when and the date is was made isn’t in the description. Nor is the year mentioned in the entire video. Griff said, “This was the city that had to invent Superman and Batman.” That is WRONG Griff Rhys Jones! Batman lives in GOTHAM City! As everyone should know.

90% of America are rural. Their closest neighbor is a cow, and their best friend is a TV spewing propaganda tailored just for them. Sorry, but it's our nightmare. In the technology age of the 21st century it's created an uninformed, ill-tempered, self-righteous, insulated, isolated mob. 10% exist in cities, and 0.5% in Manhattan. I'm happy for you to wake up and hear nothing. Be happy for others who love to wake up to the buzzing life of the city. For those who thrive on being able to experience the United Nations in one city block.

As a native New Yorker, the title of this video is so offensive

[@rh229pro]

Its interesting that you open the episode expressing that we Americans love our flag excessively. I work in global banking and stay for 4 week periods of time in London, Mayfair section, hotel located on the "Mall" and office located at 50 Stratton Street using a borrowed office near the top of office building, bel9nging to my employer. What did i see, with the view out the various conference room windows, from all sides, north south, east and west, as fair as the eye could see....the Union Jack in all of its familiar glory, with a divisive flavor of the flag of St George's cross to remind me, an Irish American, of the England'sbrand of oppressive colonialism. Yet, I never saw my stars and stripes flying at the American hotels, or any hotels for that matter, in yhe same manner, you will see the Union Jack or Cross of St George or the tri colore of our beloved French friends flying in New York to welcome all of our American allies. Don't forget, the United States left nearly 700 thousand young American men buried in Europe during World War I and II, excluding Pacific casualties.
