As a Black America I really appreciate your commentary on the slave mart in NYC. I've never heard of anyone speaking of this before. You force us to subscribe with your brilliance! I'm tuned in!!!

[@Peakfreud]

Brother I'm from NYC and use to work on Wallstreet , there was a Slave Burial Ground I use pass everyday on my way to work. I use to Work for Goldman Sachs, Spiritually I couldn't handle it and walked away from a six figure salary I stop telling stories from the inside because it fell on deaf ears, and my friends would dismiss them, they were so far removed from the places people and thing I was prevy too That it sounds like a SiFi or Folk Tale Story to them. Working there I saw first hand that Satan is very real...

[@christinajones7696]

@@Peakfreud Wow! I would like to hear your stories.

[@Peakfreud]

@@christinajones7696 It would sound like science fiction ... But I'll tell you one thing to see how you'll digested it.. The Probabilty of World Trade Center Bombings were discussed yrs and yrs before it actually happened. At the time, in 90's it was like "Yeah Right never happen" in 2021 30yrs later it's a conspiracy theory 🤷‍♂️ I'm uncomfortable talking about some of the stuff, it's just one of those things you'd have to be there . I was there, before, during and after.

You could literally go on KZbin and see other black people talking about it

Loving these "Dark Side of" series. More more!

Dark side of Lower Manhattan with no mention of 9/11.

[@yusufhasaan8781]

I interviewed for a job in lower manhattan. The energy down there felt very heavy and dark. It Makes sense now with the history and everything that happened.

[@judithhinton5784]

Interesting stories of lower Manhattan, and thanks for keeping it real regarding NYC's role during slavery. Great tour as usual, Tom.

Needed this today. Love ya Tomski!

[@roscoemuttley]

Excellent tour guide, Mr. Tom...Great job!

[@MONET8iAM]

My grandpa told me about the Subway Vigilante earlier this year. A few years ago there was an art installation in the old Domino Sugar factory in Williamsburg highlighting the slaves who worked on the sugar. There were statues made of sugar including slave children and a huge mammy-spinx. It smelled terrible in there, but it was a great exhibition. The artist is Kara Walker.

[@penskepc2374]

He wasn't a vigilante, his life was threatened and he defended himself.

[@MONET8iAM]

@@penskepc2374 I’m just going by the name that they referred to him as. I guess they named him that because he was prepared, idk 🤷🏾‍♀️.

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

@@MONET8iAM I haven't been over there in a while. I thought they were taking that down the sugar factory. I guess not yet? Surprised they haven't put up luxury condos yet

[@MONET8iAM]

@@user-nj1zu2nf1x actually yes. They’ve built around it. There are luxury buildings and a cute little park on the waterfront called Domino Park. Not sure what they’ve done (if anything) with that particular building. I also haven’t been out there in almost a year, so I’m not sure if the photos on google are just renderings or not.

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

Loved this video! I used to live down in that area during college and it was so neat to see all of these spots after so long. Great information!

[@1Classy]

You always bring the most interesting information that even we native New Yorkers aren't aware of. Still catching up on past videos. So glad I came across your channel. I'm hooked!! Thank you for what you're doing here.

Went to college with Tom he is easily one of the most intelligent, interesting and freaking funniest people I’ve ever met. Go Gators 🐊 🙌

[@wendym5137]

You rock Tom ! In the space of such a short time you give us very facinating history . With the fun factor too . Thank you

[@ouigisboredroom]

Most excellent channel ! I can’t stop watching. Such interesting history.

[@keithdantonio680]

This is the first video of yours that I’ve ever watched you seem like a pretty good likable dude so I’m gonna watch more of your videos

[@MikeP2055]

I enjoy the hell outta these! History is fascinating, despite some of it being grim and bummer-y. Side notes: 1- Models and bottles sounds like a godawful nightmare. 2- I don't think I need to tell you who "wrote" Wagon Wheel. 3- Your gopnik pose is on point, comrad! 😉

[@mickyosully4592]

FYI - models (which he refers to as fashion models) are actually financial models…which may be more / less douchey depending on how you interpret lol

[@stina7]

Not sure how I stumbled upon this video, but this is absolute gold. New subscriber and thumbs up from Boston!!

[@thomas45081]

Entertaining and interesting facts. Better the other nyc tour guide video I’ve seen, truly.

[@stevegold2717]

Your Bernie geotag story is wrong the 3 men surrounded him and asked for money, that’s when Getz felt threatened and discharged his gun. He was found not guilty and those that were shot and still able to walk have been arrested numerous times since.

[@moses-525]

Quality work. I am sure you’ll have a hit show. Thank you

[@michaelfranchek331]

Trivia: at the 2:04 mark… the 3 windows above the pock marks was JP Morgan’s private conference room, overlooking the corner of Wall and Broad Streets. You had to pass through his private office to enter it. I managed the company’s move from 23 to 60 Wall Street in 1989

[@rainypath96]

He died in 1913 so I imagine that was his former office
