NYC will never recover. The wealthy will not be moving back and without the wealthy there is no economy in NYC. NYC will now mostly be only very poor people who live off the system or work low end jobs. Its a wrap. RIP.

[@otakuman9576]

It don't feel open ... Just a few stores here and there perhaps but everything else still remains closed.

david woodley time went fast but the virus feels like forever

[@aaroncooke7061]

Just a humble correction - most of those high end stores you walked past on 5th Avenue (I work for one of them) are open! They have to follow Andrew Cuomo's "Retail To Go", which does not allow for clients in the store. Clients have to place their orders via phone, and can pick them up via "curbside pickup". The buildings are open, even though they're still boarded up. Also, the Tiffany store next to Trump Tower has been closed for construction since January. There's no merchandise in there. They moved around the corner to 6 East 57th Street.

I can't wait for everything to reopen and I miss the fun I had with my family, friend's and my girlfriend and also riding the New York City Subway and I really want to work and earn money and great video it made me feel better because it's depressing to stay home for a long time instead of enjoying life outside with a bit of fun.

Businesses are boarded up to prevent looting

[@Dr.Pepper001]

It's a waste of time to board up. Those lunatic rioters have blow torches to burn their businesses anyway. When will this insanity end?

[@rasmasyean]

@@Dr.Pepper001 During the actual rioting and looting, boards didn't help at all. They bring crowbars and hammers and stuff and they just bust a hole and in some cases, tear down the entire wall of boards. The only business where it MIGHT help, is if you're like a general store with nothing of value to steal. Then they won't just throw bricks at your windows for fun and move on to some other place. Like some convenience store or something was just smashed up with all their stuff on the floor. Maybe they took some beer and cigs I guess, but they didn't have to destroy everything as it's obviously not a "corporation" to be angry at nor do white privileged ppl usually own such an establishment. :P

[@cb8663]

@@rasmasyean let's not confuse rioters and looters with peaceful protesters. I was out there protesting, and not one person rioted. And most protests are peaceful.

[@hansonel]

Rush hour in Manhattan and barely anyone around.... a reopening of NYC like we've never seen before; not even after 9/11 or Hurricane Sandy. Coming out of the subway and seeing a handful of people and cars on Fifth Avenue with all the stores boarded up- especially "Fort Saks" :o It seems it's going to take a while for NYC to get back to the (new) normal but eventually it ill get back to normal. Possibly after a vaccine and especially if COVID weakens over time.

[@ieronymos9265]

Vaccines, vaccines, vaccines. Always the vaccines. So, society has been held up as hostage by the powers that be until a vaccine appears.

[@sakja123]

I've been going into the city once a week for the last 3 weeks just to get a good walk in. Biggest challenge is finding bathrooms.

[@maxinebrody4988]

Beautiful video. Thank you. I moved to Florida from Manhattan about five years ago. Have not come back at all. This was a very nice visit and I was able to guess where you were before I saw the signs. You never forget a place where you have lived your whole life. Thank you again.

I've discovered your channel about 3 months ago, and I love to watch your videos since I can't travel to NYC. At least I get in the mood of the city haha! You make quality content and I hope you'll continue !

[@janettobin9678]

Here in NL, Canada 🇨🇦 we opened alert phase 3 yesterday which includes retail, hair salons, etc. We have 2 positive cases currently in our province. When riding elevators here only 2 people allowed and on escalators there got to be 3 steps between people. We are hoping to enter level 2 in 3 weeks or less.🤞🏻 Good Luck NYC ❤️

[@EverlastingEclipses]

when you said "you know new york is reopening when the biker cuts you infront" i felt that as a new yorker hahahahahahaha

[@ryang3331]

It's so depressing seeing all the stores boarded up from the riots.

[@GIJew]

You'll see the highest traffic between 6-8a, 3-5p and 9p-12a, when people get on/off work the most, assuming 1st shift is 7a-3p, 2nd is 3p-11p, 3rd is 11p-7a as it is for pretty much all essential/phase 1 industries.

[@SLone3251]

I've always felt that the NYC tourism board or some sort of city education board should hire you to make videos or give tours/walkthroughs. Your stuff is great and proves content doesn't' need to be fancy to be informative. Love how you've been openly been showing the world how NYC is during this time (while staying safe, of course).

[@dvnrhillary]

Wow! Now I see how New York City is not so crazy and busy as how it was before the pandemic attack. But although it is currently phase one of reopening the city, it does feel good to gradually back to normal. I can't wait to travel, independently, again, to visit and explore the city and other NYC boroughs!

It will take some time to get back to normal day by day ! There is light at the end of that tunnel! Thanks for your awesome video’s.

I'm glad you acknowledge that the looters and rioters were opportunists and that the protests were mostly peaceful.

How can i upload the video like yours, its so smooth without lagging . Did you upload it without edit the video? (Directly from your memory card to youtube?). I uploaded the video, it seems buffering too much (quality only 1080)

went to apple store on Saturday here in Vancouver Canada, had to put on a mask and have my temperature checked before going in , clothing stores here do the same plus when you try cloths on they put it away for a week and disinfect the changing rooms affter each use . when New York opens up it might be different

Kiddo, we only entered phase 1 - meaning construction workers, curb side pickups can finally return to work. Here in NYC it's going to take some weeks and months to return to some norm. Live all my life in NYC, 54 YEARS and in one recent walk it reminded me of Sundays in NYC in the early 70's.less people, better days. Stay safe kid.

[@candicemitchell2963]

You're showing a busy part of NYC, yes, BUT, it's historically the tourists that visit 5th Avenue to spend all their money. Native NY'ers aren't the ones who you'd find walking 5th Avenue to shop. Try heading downtown or into an outer borough for a better representation of what reopening is looking like.

Look @ those camera panning skills from 15:15 to 16:00 😆 and horn honk predictions!

[@allday_CK]

Phase 1 is supposed to be pick up at stores and restaurants. You are right more life comes back with phase 2. I’m in Seattle and they created phase 1.5 which opened the “personal service” industry. I’m a hairstylist so I went back to work yesterday. Governor Inslee threw all the rules out the window and send us back to work to stand 6” away from our clients even though cases continue to climb. I had 12 clients yesterday and there’s no hope of no exposure. I will be wearing my P100 mask to work. I’m glad NYC is acting so cautiously. Thanks for the great videos I love your content.

Hostels there don't look for longer stay and housing is quite expensive in NYC

[@thenobleone-3384]

@@saks5 thanks for commenting I'm currently unemployed. However I'm moving to N.Y. cause of a job opportunity. Most likely due to me not having a lot of money I will have to find a cheap motel to live in until I get my own place. Hopefully it works out N.Y. is very expensive especially with this pandemic going on. All of the prices on food and etc will increase.

[@saks5]

@@thenobleone-3384 You're welcome, what I would suggest to look for Airbnb stay until you get you own place, I recall hostels have a policy of maximum stay is 10 days, may be things changed since especially the economy is slowing down and foreign tourists is less. I would recommend to Google for hostels and motels in NYC and contact them to inquire for longer stay . The one I know is Chelsea International hostel @251 W 20th st, New York [phone]. Good luck for your job hunt
