Summer in New York City // Fun Things To Do

[@ClayBowen]

WOW this felt like a 2014 Louis and Raya vlog 😭

[@RayaandLouis]

Haha I felt that when I was editing it! Little throwback vibe ❤️

[@magicmike-youtubecreator9748]

definitely had that vibe ❤

[@keithk2879]

Omg 2013/2014 was such a vibe, lol

[@carolynwhylie8605]

I just love to see how Louis has been softened by Raya. And Raya has been empowered to be more adventurous by Louis. Great growth together

[@CaptainMorgan98]

No matter how many times I watch Louis tie his hair up, I’m always mesmerized by how effortlessly he does it, and it looks so good every time lol

[@RayaandLouis]

Hahah same here! I’ve seen him do it hundreds of time but if you asked me to recreate it I’d have no idea what to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@joycady8325]

I've said it before and I will say it again, you are the best vloggers out there. You keep it interesting, informative, fun, creative, and so much more. I live 45 minutes south of NY and I've learned so much from you guys. Will definitely visit the places that you went to including the thrift shops. Never thought about that but now I'm syked to check them out! Thank you so much for all you do!

[@RayaandLouis]

Wow thank you so so much! I hope you love them ☺️

[@nicoleashley8235]

I love all your vlogs but this one was just extra fun!! Loved seeing you back in NYC

[@RayaandLouis]

Yay thank you! ❤️

[@adinamihal]

thank you for honoring NYC in this way, I live here and this captures NYC in the summer so well

[@RayaandLouis]

Aw that means so much! Thank you ❤️

[@LifeislifeJDK]

This brought back so many happy memories of me and my late girlfriend’s many vacations spending time with her family, thank you both for this.I went on a trip to see her family in April to celebrate her life. We had plans to marry in Central Park. It sadly time wasn’t on our side, again thank you for reigniting my love again.

[@dashadventure8609]

Good to see Raya looking less stressed!

[@jackmadison123]

From watching you back in 2014 to watching this New York video a week before my vacation, this is exactly what I needed

[@RayaandLouis]

Aw thank you! ❤️

[@carolynwhylie8605]

Thank you for this content that is not so chaotic or stressful Enjoy the summer

[@alicesmith9778]

I absolutely loved this 🥹❤️

[@veeemit9719]

I agree Raya, I have never had a better bagel than what I had in NY. Thank you for the wonderful tour. You really showed me some nice spots I was not aware were there.

[@RayaandLouis]

Yes! 🥯

[@juliepetruzzi8563]

This the most enjoyable travel vlog of NYC I’ve ever seen. You captured the spirit of the city perfectly.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@samayantra]

You two seriously made me feel like I was on holiday in NY through your vlog! Such a fun time! Thank you and congrats on your marriage ceremony and creating something so amazing for us to be reminded what is possible to do outside convention! Much love from seaside and (currently) sunny Brighton in the UK! X

[@iiiiiiiiiiii90000000]

Raya looks so good with her hair up! I don't think I've seen it that way in the years I've followed her 'til this video lol

[@OlehM99]

This is the list of my favorite places in NYC. #1) Union Square Green Market #2) TipsyScoop #3) Krispy Kreme ( 1601 Broadway ) #4) Veselka ( 144 2nd Ave) all profits in Veselka go towards Ukraine #5) Kaufman's Army & Navy ( 319 W 42nd st ) #6) Crab House ( 135 E 55th st ) its a seafood buffet including all you can eat lobster and everything is delicious

[@tammyyaniro5455]

So lovely to see NYC maskless and active again! :)

[@RayaandLouis]

Yess!

[@SewFrancine6120]

Rays & Louis, so happy your visiting Central Park. I grew up on Long Island, my favorite memories are of my dad putting our bikes in his truck and taking our family and their best friends family into the city. We have a lot of pictures from those days and are precious memories, My Dad & both my brothers are gone, it’s the only my Mom who remember those days and appreciate these pictures in front of Alice in Wonderland statue. Thank You ❣️☮️❣️💟❣️✝️❣️

[@ninow1695]

😂loved the little happy butt wiggle dance at Jajaja. That's how I dance when I'm in the happy vibe zone eating delish food. Loved and started watching you since the swap with Kara&Nate. Hooked on the adventures. Inspirational. Lots of love to you both from New Zealand!

[@samg388]

Raya that red dress was perfect on you, beautiful!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you! Such a great find! 💃🏻

[@lizstoutenour1856]

I love when you guys do your picnics 🥰❤️

[@marguiWaterland]

Dear human that's reading this, we may not know each other, but I wish you all the best in life!✨

[@27devarshi]

Omg. Seeing Louis hold up that camera while traveling is something so good. Love it 😍

[@RayaandLouis]

Haha yes! 😍

[@peacejustice6355]

Loved this video. I was born in Manhattan and spent a lot of play time in Central Park, brings back memories. I now live in the UK and heading back to New York in the very near future. Thanks for sharing and keep on enjoying your adventures❣️🙏🏼🫶🏼

[@robertbl7500]

A yummy trek exploring NYC! ! ✌️ thanks!!

[@Jewlz82ca]

Loved this one guys!! Very informative!

[@fionalewis3121]

Outstanding guys, how amazing for me from New Zealand, to get a real life look at the streets of New York, form walking, to biking, to scooter, phenomenal, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks so much Fiona! ☺️

[@jonas.zehnder]

Lovely vlog ❤️. So good to see you both being so happy together and just enjoying life as newlyweds. Some great recommendations. Definitely worth noting.

[@klaskelangford8324]

This was awesome! Loved all you shared, the fun, the food, the walks, all of it. I watched The Lion King when it was in Calgary several years ago and loved it!

[@megangardner2766]

I’m in Australia and haven’t been to NY. It gave me a really good sense of what it’s like there. I’m bedbound- so Thank you 🙏🏼!!

[@priscillachapman9145]

I loved your zNew York blog. I felt a kinship with it. A warm fuzzy feeling. This surprised me. The feeling was so much more than watching any of the other beautiful places and beaches. Now I want to go to New York/Manhattan ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@RayaandLouis]

Wow thank you so so much! ❤️❤️

[@tonimactavish9937]

Thank you ! I love New York so !

[@chloewright1815]

Absolutely loved this! Been to NYC before but going again at Xmas and now have so many good vegan spots to add to my list. Thank you!! ❤️🌱

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

This has to be one of my favorite NYC videos I've seen in a long time. :)

[@RayaandLouis]

Wow thank you! 😍

[@xena1028]

Omg, that red dress with pockets ❤️😍🥰

[@RayaandLouis]

Such a good find! 😍

[@DawnykaH]

NYC is my fave city! Thanks for sharing the best vegan restaurants and including the Broadway shows! 😊

[@kaasirose24]

I always thought New York would be too crowded and a bit aggressive but you have totally changed that and shown the beauty that people obviously love about NY - very enjoyable vlogg - I also miss Casey’s videos when he lived there .🇦🇺

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you! It totally depends where you go. To be honest, Times Square is the worst (and we had to go there twice because of the Broadway shows 🙈 but the rest isn’t too bad. And Times Square is so huge you can easily find a space to sit where you feel alone!

[@RubyAliceHome]

New York and London seem so similar with the types of people that go there! I really want to visit…mostly for the food and culture i don’t enjoy a big city too much

[@JeSuisEmma28]

I'm from England, & I've never really wanted to visit New York before, but this video made me really want to go!

[@RayaandLouis]

Oh wow no way! I love that ☺️

[@ellafarricielli1591]

I agree, NYC is the best city in the world ❤️ Great video.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you! ☺️

[@ifweseekay]

I've never seen Louis tie his hair, didn't know he ties his hair with his hair! The more you know🤓 31:18

[@flipNJ76]

Magical vlog 💫✨ Bravo !!

[@_taylorrmoon]

Vessi are actually amazing. I have been using the same pair for 3 years. Super durable and comfy. I’m glad you both are enjoying yours too 🙂. Also great video. Made me miss New York.

[@robertcharles3739]

Nice summer time in NY, liked how Louis tied his locks at the end of your electric ride, "ninja style haha"

[@luannw1]

Lol this Vlog is 2 weeks late. We just did a quick 3 days in NYC. Loved the tips, and I can’t wait for my next trip. This trip we explored the garment district in our down time. Fun people watching and exploring. I love the diversity of this page.

[@Bronco8181]

So after using both, what do you guys prefer more? The Tropicfeel shoes or the Vessys for travel? Curious! I do love my Louis Cole Jungle shoes!

[@charlenechua6073]

Good afternoon Love the intro of summer vlog into NY

[@Bromillham]

Another great Vlog.

[@leisabrady5384]

You guys always make places fun amazing and an insight I love. What a fun enjoyable vlog. Thanks so much for sharing this Feels like life is getting g back to normal when travel vlogs from you guys are coming on the regular. Love you guys love leisa Western Australia xxx

[@jamesslate1026]

There are so many great vegan options in NYC. I don't think you can ever have a bad meal. A New York bagel is boiled first, and then baked, which makes it extra chewy. Plus, they use hard wheat instead of soft.

[@RayaandLouis]

Yess totally! Oh very interesting, haha thanks for letting me know!

[@sarabooth-kilby6457]

Me and my partner got engaged in New York at the Ear Inn in April 2019, we finally get married in 3 weeks. New York has a special place in our hearts 💕

[@sandyc6569]

[@TheGuyJose]

Thank you for the vegean restaurant recommendation. Me and my girlfriend are definitely going to check them out. We're trying our hardest to be fully vegean but it's so hard since our body's are so acostume to all the bad stuff. Especially since everyone around us eats everything ....

[@AditiHubbyCookingVlogs]

Amazing 😊

[@betherkabaka]

I have really enjoyed watching this video

[@TheGuyJose]

Just caught up with the vlogs. Man I loved this vlog. It's so dope to see you guys back in NYC 🤩

[@garyjeffries1041]

[@tinamexico1604]

Love your videos..wanting to escape the humidity here in Haultulco, Mexico..

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks Tina!

[@smiley9246]

Raya…I almost had a heart attack to see you in slacks! I grew up in NY and so much has changed. Thanks for the tour!

[@yogerke]

The lion king was amazing. Saw it years ago in Hollywood California

[@gypsymomma3470]

Love this vlog so much ❤️

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks! ☺️

[@Jack44297]

Nostalgia! Guys you should get back to travel vlogging again

[@barbaram3586]

Hi Louis, I'm looking for a new camera. I'll go to Bali in a couple of months and want to do great under water shots as well as videos. Some people said I should just buy a new phone as most of them are already waterproof and have good cameras (eg one plus). And the phones are pretty small, which is nice. I would love to know your all time favorite all rounders :)

[@ashleylehto9165]

loved this video! great tips, you are both glowing!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you! ❤️

[@rowens28]

I love y’all! This was an awesome vlog!

I love your energy so much. Thank you for visiting my country. Greetings from 🇧🇦

[@sandyc6569]

This was so much fun!!! 👍💞💞💖💝💖💞💞👍

[@Mel.H_]

So basically what you're saying is that New York is it's own theme park? LOL Love it! I'll have to go some day😁🥰

[@julialuminasalsa]

GODDDD take me t New York! wow, I can't wait to visit this city

[@chana7141]

[@emilyarriaga3086]

[@ahnessa]

[@stepbystephadventures]

[@sonjadlong7554]

I❤️NY it was the late 80's and I had SOOOOOO MUCH FUN in NYC XOXO

Nice portrait of the city. Next time try the Housing Works thrift shops. They’re all over and pretty hip but well-priced.

[@RayaandLouis]

Ohh will do, thank you!

[@CerealEstelar]

Love you guys!!!!💜💜🦋🌞🌿🌿🌺🌺

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!

[@kelliepineda9822]

dumb question, eatting vegan do yiu more often then if you ate reg diet with meat?? i fibd days i do jyst plant based i seem more hungery any tips that makes you full n stay fuller??

[@RayaandLouis]

Hey Kellie! It’s just about making sure you’re getting everything you need. It’s easy, when first transitioning to eating more plant based, to kind of just eat everything you would have had on the side of meat without the meat. That means you could be missing protein or even just enough calories if you’re just eating the ‘side dishes’ if you know what I mean. I’d highly recommend following a bunch of vegan instagram accounts for meal ideas. That’s what helped me in the beginning, just seeing vegan meals all the time helped me visualise what a well rounded plant based meal looks like. Hope that helps!

[@kathleencummins8391]

Thank you absolutely brilliant enjoyed very much . I also appreciate the content of your vlog . Looks easy but takes a lot of work.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you so much Kathleen! Really appreciate that ☺️

[@Bel-ej9go]

Ah, Love NY city, I was there in my youth. I love a second hand shop to. Enjoy x

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Isn’t NYC where you two met? Great video!!🤙🏼

[@RayaandLouis]

Yes it is! Feels so good to be back ☺️

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

@@RayaandLouis I remember Louis’ vlog to day you two met. Now you return as married couple❣️

[@sierramaurer1291]

Good find Raya! I still think Goodwill is overcharging though
