Oh I loved this one. We just got back a couple weeks ago from our first trip there and we stayed at The Lucerne on the upper west side. It was amazing and this just makes me want to be back there!!! It’s weird but can a city feel like a friend you miss? ❤️ 🏙️

[@MandsU28]

Oh and we went to Levain twice. SO GOOD. 🤤

[@newyorkplease]

It's dangerously good haha

[@laurastone6578]

[@newyorkplease]

It really is beautiful, especially when the leaves are this colorful :)

[@elysebuehrer5981]

Is it weird that I teared up watching this? Everything was just so beautiful. I love the Upper West Side 😍 it’s where i stayed when I visited this summer. I feel so grateful to you for taking me back there!

My novel, “Growing Children,” will be in stock at the 112th Book Culture location in the next two weeks, give or take. As a local author, I hope you can give it a look-see! My wife and I love your channel (and in fact, seeing this bookstore in your video made me email them to see if they would carry my book-and they said yes, so, thank YOU).

[@newyorkplease]

that's awesome!

[@georgiasmith7615]

Good memories! I went to Columbia undergrad. The architecture up there is lovely. Absolute Bagels is amazing. It’s owned by a Thai couple. They have the best Thai iced coffee

[@newyorkplease]

I was so glad the spots up there manage to stand the test of time, such neighborhood gems :) I've never thought to try their coffee, putting it on my list! :)

[@Laraine-kd5rf]

I love your videos of NYC, but I never have enough time to look at the scene and read the caption below. Any chance you could linger a tiny bit longer on each frame? But, if not, no worries, I'll still keep watching and looking forward to the next one.

[@newyorkplease]

thanks for the feedback! I'll try to keep them on the screen longer :)

[@HeidiHi_]

Hi Chantal! Just wondering what boots are you wearing? I'm heading to NYC in a few weeks and I'm not sure what kind of shoes / boots to pack as I know there will be lots of walking and nothing I own is comfortable enough for all day walking! Any shoe recommendations for late Nov? Thank you ❤

Always wanted to try levain bakery.

[@nancybedwany3111]

very lovely channel ❤❤❤

[@fabebou]

hello ;) for your kid, the basic that can help : Cantu product, Shea Moisture product - shea butter - oil - Apple Cider Vinegar. Yes they are better other brands that you can find also ;) but always Leave In Conditioner; Essential Oils and Curling Cream. and always water water water also a bonnet when he sleeps, that can help to keep all the products inside

[@newyorkplease]

thank you for these tips 🙏💛

Fun 🍁 just curious for my solo days in the city, do you use a tripod to film your walking shots/for your pics?

[@newyorkplease]

I do! I always have to watch out for high winds 😅 because I cracked a phone screen in Brooklyn that way 😢

[@suzieq390]

I’m new but I’m loving your videos! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 wow Sinfeld cafe, can you pls go in and show us? Best show!

[@balogbea82]

I’m hungarian, so i can tell, there was nothing hungarian in that pastry shop. Looked cute though:))))

[@newyorkplease]

It's actually owned by a Greek family haha but the pastries are delicious nonetheless ☺

Ich mag den Vlog so gerne, er ist so inspirierend. Leider war ich noch nie in NYC. Das steht ganz oben auf meinem Plan. L. G. From good old Germany

[@newyorkplease]

Hiii, hoffentlich klappt's bald ☺ Und ich wuerde gerne Deutschland mal wieder zur Weihnachstzeit sehen - die Weihnachtsmaerkte sind viel besser als unsere in NYC 😅🙈

[@ckt2009]

@@newyorkplease das hätte ich nicht gedacht. Es wirkt in den Medien immer so, als ob NY das non plus ultra der Weihnachtsmärkte ist. Unsere Weihnachtsmärkte sind schon schön, vor allem der leckere Glühwein und die Bratwurst 😋. Ich hoffe, dass ich nächstes Jahr im Herbst nach NY reisen kann. Hoffentlich klappt es für dich, dieses Jahr mit Deutschland,, drücke fest die Daumen und wenn du in der Nähe von Frankfurt sein solltest, kann ich dir gute Tipps geben. L. G. Christin

Hey! Loved this vlog, how do you film yourself when you’re on your own, crossing the street etc?

Thank youu ☺. My gear is linked in the info box, but essentially a light selfie stick/tripod setup!

Love this channel and I'm so glad that YT recommended this video in my feed. I lived in the city for 20 years (live upstate now) so this channel is perfect for whenever I need a little NYC fix. You just got a new subscriber and I look forward to checking out some of your other videos. Like 358 from me. Cheers 😉

Yay, welcome! Glad I can provide some new york nostalgia ☺
