NYC's Murray Hill Has Some Wild Hidden History... Don't We All?

[@aardvark74]

'Forever 1721' is the best. I'm dying.

[@sfellows68]

NYC Revealed should use you to narrate their shows. They should make a special series for you. 😊

[@North-of-the-49th]

We're visiting NYC in November Tom, and will be using your videos as a blueprint 💙 guide. Kind regards.

[@PaPaRado]

You know he does tours, right?

[@gjstein5418]

Be sure to buy pepper spray...its gonna be hectic this election yr. Stay Safe God bless...if you can afford it just hire a bodyguard...their very helpful if you plan to walk around and you'll feel much safer....the police here do nothing and let everyone out after they've been arrested especially our newer residents

[@NiKiMa023]

@@PaPaRadoI’ve been wondering if he still does tours. Last I heard him mention being a tour guide, sounded like he was speaking past tense

[@petemavus2948]

​@@gjstein5418 Staying in red states with (your ?) fear mongering propaganda isn't always much safer and a better way to promote all the beauty, history, culture and tourism Manhattan has to offer (just another helpful hint.) ✌️

Thank you for this educational tour of Murray Hill . A new neighborhood for me to explore 😊

[@deirdrerosesharples7453]

I still remember your story about Houston Street, I live Kildare not long way from Dublin, Houston Station, so I told my work mates as we went to Dublin for work drinks and dinner, told them the story.They like that's so interesting😮

[@mariecolette9066]

so do you pronounce it Hew-stun or How-stun lol

[@nancyminter2258]

You are such an interesting dude. Taught me a lot about NYC. I hope one of the late night or SNL hires you! Either as a writer or a comedian. You young man deserve a lot. 😊 thanks

[@LoLasLair]

I love your videos! Makes me want to come back for another visit.

18:14 the orange with grey stripe sky scraper in the background is the HORIZON. went up in 87/88. my second ever job as an electrician. i was a first year apprentice.

[@scubadiva666]

The fluted building directly behind Tom is the Corinthian building, a bunch of condos that went up in the 80s as well. I actually knew an electrician who was working in that building. #themoreyouknow

[@andrewfischer8564]

@@scubadiva666 Thanks i couldnt remember the name.. it went up at the same time. i knew the crew. we would meet at the bar the salloon? for lunch... i may have been there a while too?

[@scubadiva666]

@@andrewfischer8564 I recall a lot of the electricians and construction workers on these buildings were Irish.

[@petemavus2948]

​@@scubadiva666 Yeah, they loved "The Blarney Stone" too. I had lunch at practically every bar/restaurant & avenue for 30 blocks over 10 years.

Regarding MU exchange number: I think in "I Love Lucy" their number was Murry Hill -555.

We’re waking through a historic district.. You know why? Because Tommy D said so… (Pass first base on your date, proceed to third…)

[@MrRezRising]

At 1:10, let me guess....You saw the Force ghost of George Michaels.

[@Gl6619]

Love all the artist renderings…masterpieces (insert chefs kiss)

[@benleon3405]

Interesting you uploaded this video on the 53rd anniversary of the death of Jim Morrison..in Paris ..not Murray Hill..

[@travelingwithrick]

Murray hill was some kind of phone exchange for a commercial. 60 or 70's. Now the plugs are not only sick their casual. More NYC tours please

[@travelingwithrick]

Doors reference top notch. Hardcore doors fan. Learning from Tom

[@petemavus2948]

Murray Hill such and such phone numbers were often spoken aloud on TV shows and movies, especially "I Love Lucy".

[@renardramonfoxx]

only 13700 left to go to get 100000 subs

[@JnTmarie]

Yes you are around my home. I’m in kips bay Thanks for the lesson about my neighborhood. Need to Take notes! You are so funny.

[@petemavus2948]

Gramercy Park etc. all those districts are phenomenal.

[@eugenedimitrov]

Hey Tom! What's up? Outstanding as always!!!

[@animaginaryboy_]

Could we say Mary Lindley Murray set thirst trap for the British?

[@StoneyHoliday]

These eastern midtown neighborhoods are hidden gems. Especially Kips Bay.

[@kingdingaling2469]

Damn…. Tom is PAcKiN

[@SusannahPerri]

Another fun and educational video, thanks Tom! I definitely am going to the Morgan Library when I come back to NYC in October!

[@petemavus2948]

The stature of the Lapis Lazuli columns inside alone are worth seeing. It's one amazing thing after the other there. You won't regret visiting. Hope you have a wonderful stay ! ☺️

[@richardbernardjr9215]

love all your info man!!! Thank you!

[@stanreno9917]

I worked the area in the 70s and yes its a beautiful neighborhood. I ate many summer lunches on the steps of the morgan library.

[@Nimbus6000]

Very nice video. Please say this comment isn’t censored lol. I apologise for my forwardness

[@petemavus2948]

Thank you for giving a shout out to and commemorating B.Altman & Co. Having worked there and spending much time in this neighborhood at every place shown brought back many pleasurable memories. From exploring Sniffen Court with my first boss to meeting friends and coworkers regularly at Morgan Library steps on beautiful days, I once knew it like the back of my hand... embracing history. E.E.Cummings : "Spring is like a perhaps Hand in a window (carefully to and fro moving New and Old things, while people stare carefully moving a perhaps fraction of flower here placing an inch of air there) and without breaking anything." 💜

[@soozshooz]

“Hey! Git away from that gate Boy & don’t come ‘SNIFFEN’ around here no more! “

Nice pearly whites! 😁

That sign that's says push button for audible signal. What blind person is that for? Silly

Maybe a Savannah tour when Kamala arrives for a visit?😊

when you've got aids, no one remembers your name, when you're straaaaaaaaaaaange

[@genghis26]

"Here's your tea, you wanker" is just how tea is served here in the UK. Btw, referring to someone with a knighthood ("sir") as Sir and then their surname (I think you said "Sir Howe") is like when a non-native English speaker says, for instance, "Mr John", when John is their first name. It'd be Sir Tom Delgado, not Sir Delgado. For services to tea. And wankers.

[@MilesBellas]

It's like a big version of Savannah! 😅

[@davidhalloran2764]

You didn't say "Boz arghtz"!

Sniffin Court (whatever it’s called ) was the location of the Doors LP Cover, the one with circus people …whatever it was called.

Ok disregard that just heard you mention that . Haha

[@mikedrown2721]

Wasn't there a telephone exchange that was called Murray Hill something? I hear this on old movies. It was the first 3 digits. Fascinating and always entertaining video Tom...... thanks 👍😁❤️. Hey cameraman Pat, talk Tom into coming up to Toronto please.

[@LorenIpsum75]

The exchange was MUrray Hill (MU5-5555). There was a radio jingle for the NYC's now defunct Sach's Quality Furniture Stores: 🎶 MElrose five-five three hundred 🎶 TMI. 😄
