Great video on a subject that's not explored enough in NYC! I feel the wheelchair & disabled community deserve more from the city, especially with the subway system.

[@bpjbp]

I haven't seen many vlogs about this. In fact, I can't recall any. Fantastic content! Disabled access is often overlooked, so it's important to see things from that perspective. Thank you for drawing attention to it.

[@biking2cruze]

Society has a disability of it’s own: being unable to view things from the perspective of the disabled in terms of wheelchair access when it comes to building design, restrooms or business access (I happen to use a powered wheelchair for mobility issues) well at least public transport is evolving...

[@AdorableAcushla]

OMG, I asked for this video. Thank you so much

[@SarahFunky]

My pleasure! I'm happy to help :)

[@MsDuran91]

You don’t know how much I appreciate this video 🙌🏻

[@SarahFunky]

I'm so happy to help!

[@johnjasonjocson8767]

WOW...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I have been trying to research this because my brother is in a wheel chair and I have dreaded in taking him to NYC...but now I feel better. Thank you both!!!!!

[@FrankG5874]

Next week marks the 29th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act which is supposed to make stuff accessible to those with a disability, Sarah

[@SarahFunky]

Wow, what perfect timing then!

[@jimefloresmorales]

This is such an amazing video, like all your others of course. You’re one of the best travel youtubers ever!!! Keep the good work, I constantly refer your content to my family and friends if they’re traveling to nyc

[@SarahFunky]

Rawan is mine and my wife true hero, She is a real star of this video and it was really awesome to watch it owing to her. Does Rawan have blog or instagram when we can follow her trips? The tips are very useful, not only for people with special needs but also with kids or general visitors to NYC (especially the one about expectations of walking and medical care ;) we have experienced it last month). Best whishes for you Sarah and for your special guest. Congratulations on a great topic for a video and we're looking forward for more.

[@RZpersonal77]

Karol Kaczorowski I thank you for your kind words I do have a Instagram account where you can follow me. It’s @rawanzubaid

[@CarlosEduardodeMeloRodovalho]

I don't have my right leg, so I use a prosthesis to walk. Went to ny last march and before the trip I was woried about how much I would be able to walk, if I would be able to keep up with my friends. Turns out NY is very walkable, very! The city is almost 100% plain and the streets and sidewalks are in good condition. I managed to walk about 10km a day. I was amazed how easy was to get around the city in my condition. BUT, MTA fails to keep up with the rest of the city's standards. Few stations are acessible. For people like me who can use stairs, isn't perfect, but it's possible...but people on wheelchairs have a lot of trouble using the subway.

This video serves the public good !

[@jessiemontero4875]

I wish everyone was as nice as Sarah. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@J.K.BlueCrown]

Happy to see Rawan enjoyed her time in the city. You clearly put in a large amount of time & effort into making this video, Sarah, and I appreciate that. However, the phrase "wheelchair bound" is both inaccurate and problematic. I use a chair. It is my freedom. Chairs (and other mobility aids) are tools that enable folks to live fully. Many, if not most users, view their chairs as extensions of their bodies. Please consider changing the title to "wheelchair users." :)

[@Nenlothiel]

Very important subject! Thank you!

[@PattyLove8888]

*Good information ... many will serve us. Have a nice day* ♿️♿️🙏🏻🙏🏻🗽🗽 *Thank you* 🌷🌷

[@SarahFunky]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[@PattyLove8888]

Sarah , Sarah, my husband uses a wheelchair and there are places where it is difficult to walk. Thanks for the video. 🙏🏻🙏🏻♿️♿️🗽🗽😘😘

[@KRSSmith1]

This was a very helpful video. We are traveling to NYC for a wedding with my 88 year old mom who broke her hip in April. She can use a walker, but needs a wheelchair for long distances. I really appreciate the insights and advice you've shared her!

[@chefalis]

I'm from Mexico, I'm handicap, and use a motorize wheelchair. I will be visiting NYC from may 19 to the 25, Ican record something for you if you want.

[@denisecarrillo4381]

I’m going in January and also use a motorize wheelchair. Was it difficult to get around places ?

[@LuisYanes88]

Definitely useful information! Hopefully NYC can become more accessible for all!

[@adrianaramostorelli6078]

What a wonderful video!! Thanks Sarah!!

[@maryoflondon2075]

Hotel Door sizes and turning space from hall into room you need to ask,is shower roll in or wet room ..accessible toilet guide...nyc accessible travel book.

[@kylaknight3655]

Fantastic!!! Love love love this video (and you)!!!

[@blindlybeautiful3586]

Wow she is so courageous! Thank you what so much for doing this video Sarah! I am disabled and I'm thinking about traveling to New York soon but I have it found any videos on the accessibility of the city. Thank you so much for this video I really appreciate it!

[@Psychedeeelic]

Thank you so much for this! I am planning a trip to NY sometime in the future and I've been looking for guides on how easy it is to get around in a motorized wheelchair.

[@giuseppefloccari2380]

FYI if traveling in New York and staying in the five boroughs please for travel purposes use accessible dispatch I highly recommend period it is a 24-hour 7-Day a week service that provides transportation for people with disabilities

[@denisecarrillo4381]

What’s the name of the dispatch? I’m going in January

[@50shadesofShay.]

Thank you for this. I want to fly my dad out to see his siblings for the last time and I didn't know how accessible the city would be for him while in a wheel chair. I used to live in the city and I know how impatient New yorkers can be when it comes to people who walk slow. So this is great to know. Thank you! Great channel. New sub ❤

[@joshuanichols1783]

This is great I take care of my uncle who is 80 and semi mobile... I would def have to push him in a wheelchair, but he would like to visit again from Montgomery alabama.

[@aaronjmixon2771]

Amazing video!! Rawan is such a lovely person!

[@mayavagner1672]

So inspirational 💕

[@dustinnash5411]

You Rock Sarah!!!! ☺😊👋👋👍👍

[@rajeshbhati3319]

Luv you NYC with luv you and your whole beautifulness with pretty voice . Thanx lot

[@meganm.2389]

I am in a wheelchair and I was in the city in june and damn my arms killed me by the end of the day

[@jackgrimaldi8685]

I'm sorry. I live in NYC and while I'm not in a wheelchair, I realize how difficult it must be for someone who is.

[@AwesomeSauceRadio]

This was awesome sauce. Thank you so much

[@chevychase]

Starbucks has the only accessible restrooms in all of New York. You have to walk down steep crowded stairs to get to most restrooms in NYC. And you can forget about seeing any Zbroadway shows. Impossible.

[@farganaamin]

Dear Sarah, hope you doing well. actually fast time watching your video and i like your video. you are good parson its show on your face. love love,

[@ramishahossain5787]

Hello! Me and my family would be going to NY soon and we wanted to go watch the Niagra falls. Does anyone know a cheap way we can get there from the airport ?? Also bus ride from NY to Canada is expensive, how can we go there in a cheaper way as a roundtrip? Please recommend!
