NYC Walk : Downtown Long Island City, Queens in September 2022

[@Connie-E]

I missed the Premiere, but really enjoyed seeing the Queens area this morning and the ending was just a gorgeous view. Thanks AK

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome, glad you could experience it through this video

[@Daniel-yb7mx]

It is nice to be a silent watcher too, I miss a lot when I am active in the chatt I have noticed. Maybe see you later Connie in a livestream walk.

[@Connie-E]

@@Daniel-yb7mx Yes, will be looking for you.

[@HengMiao]

It's interesting to see the development in Downtown LIC as the buildings and elevated train tracks look newer and modern. There's no shortage of Asian restaurants either. 😋 42:10 Spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline! 😍 Thank you for sharing this relaxing walk, AK! 🤗

[@ouebe8838]

Thank you AK for premiering this video with us. It was a great evening walk. Your videos are always great to watch!

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome, I loved strolling through Long Island City this evening

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Change is good as long as it is affordable . It's just a shame when alot of small businesses had to close their doors 🚪 after serving the locals for a long time. It's so hard for them to return due to high prices . But there is always room for improvements. Great tour AK

[@elmarkiuxrazalas6647]

There weren't too many businesses prior to this development. Don't let nobody tell you otherwise, I've lived in this area for 20+ years and we never had it better .

[@lornahardin4563]

Loved this walk. So much to see. I love all the pups taking their owners for a walk.

[@jr2shiesty589]

Great NYC walk of downtown Long Island city Queens of 2022! I love New York

[@ActionKid]

[@robertparker1180]

Making Uber Eats deliveries in Long Island City I'm very blessed and impressed how Asian-Americans are generous tippers

[@JJJBRICE]

That was a beautiful view of mid town at the end !

[@ActionKid]

It’s so gorgeous

[@fairnorth2733]

DEAR ACTION KID.....THIS VIDEO IS FANTASTIC !!!! THE CITY ACRES SUPERMARKET IS MAGNIFICENT !!!! I USED TO WORK SEVERAL BLOCKS FROM HERE BACK IN 2000 !!!! BACK IN 2000 THIS AREA WAS UNDER HEAVY CONSTRUCTION AND I USED TO DREAM OF A HIGH QUALITY SUPERMARKET AND SHOPPING AREA SUCH AS THIS NEW ONE THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED !!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT BACK TO NEW YORK CITY AND THE AWESOME VIDEOS THAT YOU HAVE DONE !!!!

[@CameronS437]

So happy to see more New York content! 🌺

[@oceana9294]

Your walk was enjoyable and the crowning glory was the sunset view across the river as lights were shining over the water. The name 'Long Island City' resonates, it just flows, I like it. Thanks for sharing your time.

[@ed7519]

Oceana: The name has been there since the beginning of New York.

[@eugenedimitrov]

Hey ,AK! What's up? Wow! Long Island ! Kinda love it !!!

[@khemchanramdeo3726]

Simply the best, I’ll by visiting Long Island city in November thanks for your guidance

[@jarihult]

So many good looking restaurants makes me hungry😋Nice looking neighborhood ! So many high risers , very nice and enjoyable walk 😎Thank you for sharing A K 🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome, there are so many new restaurants

[@lennyrockett]

I will move to Jackson Park in Long Island City soon, just gotta keep on pushing and grinding.

[@christianryan6980]

OMG I can't believe I missed a gold opportunity to meet ActionKid. Started right by my apartment building

[@Avazq153]

This reminds me of the port Morris section of the Bronx which is also growing quickly. A former commercial area, it's now being revamped. It has some classic ny soho buildings and shops along with the new luxury high rises that have gone up like "the arches" apartments. There are also more high rises being built and the waterfront/rail like will be revitalized for the enjoyment of the new residents.

[@gmwilliamsful]

Thank you Action Kid, another excellent video.

[@DJTasawennatekensMusicWorld]

I live in Long Island City in hunters point South and I love it here It doesn't even feel like I'm actually in New York City A lot of people who live here say that it feels like we're in a whole different place and Long Island City used to be at a actual city of its own at one point with its own mayor.

[@gilsonanderson5807]

Hi Kenneth, this is One of the best vídeos of the year, LIC is changing fast! Amazing! Good job!

[@lisalee2885]

Thank you for posting this. I miss the island

[@infinitelightcouncil]

Never been to NY but remember LIC is where Julie (RIP) lived over a pizzaria while she cooked all of Julia Child's recipes 😊

[@subwayratmusic]

I’m moving here in 3 weeks! Saw my building in the video :)

[@Tommy88-]

I hope you saw it before signing the lease.

[@DroOnTheGO]

Awesome walk AK! Missing LIC!

[@jasonibiza7993]

Nice and meaningful walk... at least for me... I like the impromptu updates on the establishments and buildings as well...

[@tiffanyrickman149]

Thank you so much for doing this video. Exactly what I needed. Heading there in 2 weeks.

[@tmoore2010]

OMG, look how much has changed since 2006. That city acres market used to be either a furniture store or abandoned parking lot. @22:50 remnants of old LIC.

[@27pugsly]

Kinda reminds me of Toronto clean modern

[@conicalplanes9258]

toronto is ass compared to NY

[@maxwellanderson8173]

Incredibal you've been getting exactly the same weather as us

[@ActionKid]

[@cheesyrider6914]

WB NYC just not the same without you 😀

[@ActionKid]

Thank you very much

[@steves9988]

No one covers nyc like AK!!

[@Jasmine-ow8gx]

The only problem with this neighborhood is that they build a lot of high rise residential building but not enough of bars, restaurants, stores (such as Target, groceries etc.), and green space

[@mandypants9936]

This is nice to see. I live near here in LIC.

[@City-Hiker]

The Amazon withdrawal from Long Island City making the housing drop pretty much in these area. Long Island City is not as Downtown Brooklyn. Some people not affordable to live in Downtown Brooklyn, they would consider move to Long Island City or Brooklyn Flatbush. Flatbush and Borough Park is close to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, housing price is pretty affordable.

[@ActionKid]

I would say housing prices are comparable even without the Amazon issue. It’s expensive in all the areas you mentioned.

[@eugenedimitrov]

Seems to be the nicest and decent neighborhood!!!

[@denjah9224]

Hey AK...we are planning a trip next year and didn't want to stay in Manhattan so we found a hotel in LIC on 38 -42 11th street...we are hoping the area is nice. Loved your walk as usual.

[@YuriPavlow]

Hello! Many subscribers, like me, watching your broadcasts from other countries. If possible, put a clock on the screen so that it is clear what time it is in New York. This is important when we are watching your reports in the record. Thank you.

[@Nature-Chill-Beats]

Hi friend, as always a very nice video from you! Have a nice week

[@r.d.9399]

Queens is finally getting better! So happy to see all the development. Now if only politicians would have all the NYCHA projects demolished to build new modern neighborhoods we could say we're moving forward the way we need to.

[@ActionKid]

It’s great that Queens is getting better I’ll disagree about the NYCHA projects being demolished though as it is a controversial topic and affordable housing is such a big issue.

[@r.d.9399]

@@ActionKid Project buildings breed crime and gang activity. It is notoriously dangerous even for the housing police that do vertical walks in the buildings. Other cities around the country are demolishing their old projects for neighborhoods with modern infrastructure and amenities. In all honesty people don't deserve to live like prisoners in those buildings.

[@krnpowr]

Affordable housing and modern neighborhoods aren't mutually exclusive of each other.

[@jeremyg7972]

Maybe rebuild the affordable housing to a livable standard

[@r.d.9399]

@@jeremyg7972 The neighborhoods were designed to be secluded and hard to police. The buildings themselves are definitely a part of the problem.

[@n8rab]

Well-presented. I live in LIC near Court Square, and have walked all of the locations in this video. I could have done a lot worse than end up here.

[@messuth]

Hi, I'll be there in November. I've watched all the new york videos. I'm sure I won't have any difficulties.greetings from Turkey

[@ActionKid]

Good to know! You’re well prepared

[@robertparker1180]

35:39 I believe Sarah Funky lives in one of these high-rise buildings in this area of Long Island City. Have you seen her and her family lately?

[@JB-gb7uu]

Hi you passed by my home when walking across the intersection of Jackson and 11th. Shoulda stopped by and said hi 😁

[@diannemarshall4078]

This community changed over the years. I like it but its nice to see some of the older properties still remaing unfortunately the family owned resturants are almost nonexistent. Thier was a very nice Irish pup on Vernon you could get a great prunch for less then 15 dollars and the employess treated you like family. Thats what I miss most. I wonder what the rents are I know in Greenpoint the rents are high.

[@ActionKid]

Long Island City has changed so much. I can’t believe how fast everything is developing in this neighborhood

[@maxwellanderson8173]

My god all comes to those that wait I've finally got you live and direct from new York it's happening as I look

[@ActionKid]

[@chriswhite6218]

Who was the brilliant architect who designed the boxes with glass to live in? They have the character of vanilla yogurt.

[@meetneil3246]

Hi AK, Love the channel. Welcome back North for awhile. You use to use a Osmo Pocket. I see the new camera sometimes in reflections, can you please tell me what your using now. Thanks!

[@frosty6828]

$3.59 a gallon in NYC? I am surprised how cheap it is. As of today in Southern NV it's $5.29!!

[@HChampagne63]

You pan from side to side to show the buildings and amenities. Your videos are excellent.

[@nazarkucharov5760]

Thank you friend

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome!

[@eugenedimitrov]

Another awesome and informative content as always !!!

[@schao2156]

had to come back to this after the most recent Fung Bros vid :)

[@valeriewood5515]

Coocoocachoo cute name lol😆

That's my neighborhood very nice area a lot of resturants n bars

[@areenakju]

Hi.thank you

You’re welcome!

[@truth_teller_tn]

AK has to make sure he spends 51% time in FL to document residency for tax purposes. But, I bet his heart is NYC. I don't blame him at all. I lived in FL 40+ years, retired and took my pensions with me to another state.

[@jaehongsong4904]

It really isn't Chinatown, considering a lot of different Asian population are living in LIC. It doesn't have the vibes of Manhattan or Flushing Chinatown at all

[@craigwiggins8287]

GOOD

[@straighft]

one of my fave spots everrrr lol

[@NisseOhlsen]

Good to see a place where Americans actually WALK om the streets.

[@onelove9543]

👍

[@DmA91]

It is dangerous in night there?

[@shesheaaa8098]

Home of the Queen of rap Nicki Minaj ......love you Nicki

[@daisyrossdo2083]

THAT WXYZ LOUNGE IN THAT BUILDING THEY HAVE A ROOF TOP YOU CAN CHILL AT N YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A RESIDENT THERE

[@Heartless-oi3sp]

I thought Long Island was Nassau and Suffolk county?

[@rapperbucks3203]

It says king island city not fuckingn king kissing

[@etoilegale888]

I believe it's in Queens. If you wanna get to the city you'd get on the Queens Bridge and get off in midtown (e 60th area where the Rooselvelt Island Tram is). Long Island City, Queens is connected and is on the western tip of LI.

[@PasqualeDeRosa-n1v]

Every thhing looks like MacDonalds. Just a different font. What has happened to my beloved NYC?

[@elizabethdiaz5434]

💖🗽❣️👍👌

[@inwoodliver]

Hi AK

[@ActionKid]

[@anyb5020]

Move to Grand Rapids Michigan. So much better

[@eddiew2325]

I was thinking of moving to Detroit’s 8 mile to be closer to Eminem. Always wanted to meet him

[@DJTasawennatekensMusicWorld]

And by the way graffiti is not considered art I don't care what anybody says it's destruction of property and I'm actually glad that all that five points BS was gone because that place also brought in crime and also brought in drugs and sex workers and all that a lot of people don't understand the kind of stuff that went on there when the son went down

[@TheChrisJByrne]

Your negative view of LIC is offensive. And you have no idea about the ethnic population.

[@tikobrohan5755]

not for nothing, don't bring that midwest small city lingo to queens bro. there is no "downtown" LIC.
