I'm a New York tour guide myself and I must say this guy is great, his breadth of knowledge is extraordinary. Way to go Tom.

[@bomba3849]

I love how a few steps away from the crime scene there is a bunch of teens/kids chilling on a picnic blanket.

[@geovel2296]

I lived in NYC for 29 years! now I am in Las Vegas, as a tour guide in NY and Now in Vegas I have to tell you Tom ! You are one of the best Tour guides in NYC! Thanks I still learning day by day!!! I love history.

[@karleeeggenberger-delarosa9839]

“A lot of birds and perverts” 😂

[@marshallwallace1]

I’m pretty sure this NYC channel has taught me more than I ever learned even living here

[@L2DG]

Every video of Tom since covid: 'Alright guys RELAX i'm wearing a mask when I go inside you don't need to wear it outdoors ok'

[@astutetomato1628]

It’s telling that he has to tell the mask mob to “chill out”. Says a lot about people 🤔

[@tule2955]

lol, not everyone in NYC are sheep.

[@janerova9084]

Plus he’s got the antibodies anyway 😂

[@AmberBaerlin]

Awsome video can i pay you to give me tour

[@mtasubwaymartasubway]

​@@tule2955In long island, there's plenty of brain dead sheep's out there

[@mph85032]

Tom, I had to add - much appreciation to your cameraman, Phil. He does a great job.

[@philrizdon]

Thanks dude!

[@JulianSteve]

Phil Rizdon Great job Phil on the camera work🎥 🤘🏾

[@snickerbars4129]

How on earth don't you have more subscribers...? You are the walking encyclopedia of New York, you are my go to person. Thank you.

[@darnellmiller1215]

Aww man, you mentioned so many movie scenes shot in the legendary Central Park but omitted the underrated classic "The Warriors" only the greatest gang movie ever recorded!

[@FRADAVE02]

I was raised in the New York school system, and my teachers would take great delight in telling us about New York schist!

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

This is fabulous. I loved every minute. Your depth of knowledge is quite impressive and so well presented. Thank you! Those who want to correct or challenge what you present should make their own video. Your burst of passion about what makes New York was spot on.

[@meganfloresta1124]

Absolutely couldn't agree more. Love watching your videos, and the wealth of knowledge is remarkable in an awesome way. Thanks Tom for sharing NYC with us.

[@88detour]

That "Schist" is an excellent observation platform.

[@tomdnyc1]

Very highbrow stuff.

[@alfonsodamico9877]

Wanted an intro to Central Park, Tom gave us a 'feast.' Good for him, Good for us.

[@lonestar6457]

My Irish grandparents settled in NYC and I was born there! My family did move out of the City when I was a young teen! But my heart is still there with great memories! Thank you for your tours and your knowledge about this great City! Don’t forget about the Papaya King on 86 and 3ave! Great hot dogs!

[@evancortez2]

0:29 In the opening credits of "The Odd Couple", Tony Randall and Jack Klugman are sitting on that bench on the right as Jack Klugman as Oscar tosses a sandwich wrapper on the ground and Tony Randall as Felix admonishes him for it

[@DarkandTwisted]

Once again, GREAT tour, Tom! Shout out to Phil too.

[@janicesanders9981]

Hey Tom....thanks for this tour on such a beautiful day....

[@HuhDuh0]

Outstanding! You have become one of my favorite KZbinrs!

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Love your guided-tour vids, Tom! You are a true wealth of knowledge re NYC and it makes for excellent watching. Keep 'em coming, please!

[@luruperchausse10]

Was only in New York once when I was 5 years old, back in 1965, but I remember seeing the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Pretty cool for a 5 year old! Enjoy watching your entertaining videos. Feel like I'm there...without the hassles.

[@ansoniamuse401]

Tom, absolutely amazing. Those 38 min felt like 2 min. Incredible video! I love your work

[@prissilou]

OK, OK...I decided I would watch one video per day, so today I chose the Central Park one. Love it, and find that Central Park is one of the most amazing places on earth, because it amazes me that you could find such a place in the middle of New York City. Whoever decided to put such a place in the middle of the city of New York is one of the greatest minds of the modern world. I'll stop at this point before discussing General Sherman (grrrr...) and hold that for another time...

[@audreysopoco]

tom’s getting an even bigger comedy career because of this channel just manifesting it here

[@dancoll8166]

Thanks, Tom, you always do a great job, along with Phil and Stew.

[@mano1971music]

Tom, you are definetely the COOLEST New York City tour guide on KZbin! You make learning all this history about the city fun, exciting and intriguing! And if you ever decide to come out to COACHELLA MUSIC FESTIVAL, tickets are on me! Greetings from Southern California!!

[@ryanoliver1148]

I discovered you by watching Actionkid and totally have become your #1 fan and follower. You totally amaze me with your knowledge and abilities to retain so much knowledge of the greatest city ever built. Thank you🍷🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️

[@missunique65]

Tom is funnier than Action Kid

[@aquila7272]

Tom is a terrific guide with a sense of humor.

[@CynthiaVicario]

Wow! Your ending on what makes New York was truly profound. If you think your rambling then keep on rambling Tom. Your off the cuff informative knowledge has me on the edge of my seat . Thank you and keep up the great mix of historical information along with some humor. Bravo Tom!👏🏽

[@VeryStrict]

Tom is back with another killer tour!

[@Mack462]

I’m a New Yorker have not lived there in years but I love your commentary, historic facts, and love for the city! Thank you!

[@mariecolette170]

Are you one of those who lives in the “Luxury buildings” that evicted thousands of then middle class working families who just didn’t make enough so they preferred people like you who made them wealthy enough to keep a mistress and a 30 foot yacht. Was it the tv show Friends that made you move here too?

[@saskiapanter]

I can only give one thumbs up, but here I go...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍 I LOVE these tours, can't wait to actually go there. Covid19 GO AWAY!!!! So I can come and visit this wonderful city.😃😃😃😃😃😃.

[@andreahawkins5747]

Tom, you say whatever you want! You are excellent and so full of knowledge, I could listen to you all day! I can’t wait to take an in-person tour of The Greatest City in the World! Signed, a Denverite.

1. I miss NYC. 2. I love Serendipity! Cheers.

[@panamamike3167]

Hey Tom, Love your tours of NYC. I’m a former NYer, born in Queens, and now retired in Panama (the country). You have an incredible knowledge of the history, architecture, etc., mixed with a great sense of humor and energy. You’re doing great work, and please keep the videos coming. My daughter just moved back to Queens, so when I come to visit, maybe I’ll bump into you.

[@juhumamamam3768]

How do you have only 7-8k follower. Criminal. Love your videos, love New York, youre the best. :)

[@abdobouchareb6791]

[@AquanautSt1]

I'm probally not the only one feeling nastalgia about city life in these times . Thanks for your work ! And for dispelling the hysteria !

[@CityBlush]

I love how much I learn when I watch these videos. Thank you for making these!!!!

[@phillyhank8726]

Brother Tom, what’s up? I am originally from Willy B Brooklyn but I’ve been in Philly, Pa since 1988. Man, I absolutely love your channel. You honestly teach me so much and coupled with your sense of humor makes it all stick and it gives me info to pass on. Please don’t stop bringing us great knowledge and entertainment.

[@BlessSteph897]

Hope to visit someday

[@Jay75ny]

I learn more about the city I grew up & Live in more and more from your videos. Thank you Tom & Phil

[@Elly-fe3rm]

Back in the 70's I saw a free Carol King concert in Central Park. I also attended a few shows at the Schaefer Music Festival. Fun times!! I left New York in 1977 but I visit my mom ( Forest Hills) and Central Park several times a yr.:) Thanks for this informative video!!

[@sabrinagrant8003]

You are so right about the essence of NEW YORK CITY!!!

[@TheAimes1980]

Should I admit that the Counting Crows are a guilty pleasure of mine as well? Thanks for the great mini tour of one of my favourite places in NYC. Always learn something from you!

[@johnkellett2669]

Tom your a great tour guide and you are extremely animated, which makes your videos even better....

[@larrygrasso6032]

Tom you're still the best !

[@tomdnyc1]

Thanks Larry!

[@davidbailey6563]

Excellent. If I can ever get back to NYC I want to go on one of your tours. Your closing monologue shamed me - I'm 66 , from Liverpool and didn't know the full story behind Lennon's murder so thank you for that.. Keep 'em coming.

[@TORONTOWALKDRIVE]

Amazing video and nice place, thanks for sharing 😍👍

[@Fabio2009able]

I lived in NYC in the early 2000 s and watching your great videos bring me a lot of good memories. Thank you man .. great work you do.

[@suzannelynch142]

love your knowledge and humor, makes my sad days better thanks!

[@georgettesanchez788]

Omg I played on those stones as a little kid and thought they were mountains. Thanks for the history lesson

[@mberman61]

Thanks Tom! Your tours are the best. Love all the NY history!

[@shaiyanomamo3705]

Brilliant walk! So educational and entertaining as well. You're brilliant.

[@alana4286]

Tom, you're excellent. Appreciate your knowledge and eloquence. Never a boring moment. Now I'm going ask to Alexa to play some John Denver .

[@albertovargas29]

excellent video, I've seen them all! great job Tom!

[@LauraAlvarez-qe9de]

Enjoyed this walk..your the best tom for giving that drum player money. always look foward to your videos thanks..

[@johannsmithe2570]

... he got from the fountain. But, yes, he did tip. Street performers' etiquette I guess. The rest went towards Phil's hot dog. People who work or have worked in resturants are usually the best tippers. Mutual brotherhood or it equates to love. Didn't catch what speakeasy 86 meant in Tom/AK's last video. Maybe Tom is waiting for x amount of subscribers before he uses Patreon.

[@AL-grhvc]

27:57 carriages have been removed because of the same horse exhaustion issue on the islands (Princes' Islands) around my town of Istanbul and now there are electric shuttles instead of carriages, which are convenient for the residents and tourists on a hilly island. Less horse-shit smell, no more horse persecution and cheaper ⭐️ This is a great Central Park tour, so much interesting information, thank you Tom, you're the best 🙏👏👏👏

[@lovelygina9934]

I've been in Central Park a hundred times but you made it more exciting with the historical history background 🤩 lol

[@bg-xm3ms]

You are a gift Tom! Wish you all the success, seriously. - Wisconsin

[@topquarkbln]

Thanks for your very entertaining walking NYC videos ❤️👍

[@focusedfreebird]

You are the best NYC tour guide! Thanx for your hard work and sharing!

[@colinreid325]

I love that shot of you looking at the city skyline, the juxtaposing of nature and the city, it reminds me of Hopper and how relevant his work is during this pandemic

[@averyhebert335]

Always enjoy your videos. Funny and informative! Thanks Tom! And Phil!

[@richardmallam1736]

Thanks Tom I really enjoy your tours. My name is Richard and I live in Lincoln Nebraska. I was in NYC in November 2016.

[@IamJeffBrugger]

[@Challenger540i]

So full of info and (even better) so funny.........! TY Tom

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I subscribed and then binge watched lots of your videos. Thanks for putting a smile on this old guy's face.

[@micmac1121]

I lived in NYC to long but had to share. My uncle was a Mounted cop, he rode a horse for 20 years in NYC. Many of the horses were donated to the NYPD, my uncle rode a horse named Mickey. It was his partner. He patrolled Bryant Park! In the 70’s and early 80’s it was a druggie park. Ok, they would take the horses to run hard in Central Park. Fun NYC note, Bernadette Peters, Donated to the mounted police and Mickey was one of her horses. She was loved by the mounted crew and visited to their stables often.

[@alelambert888]

Wonderful, thank you.

[@janicesanders9981]

I love your "singing" interludes...Lol...

[@DansPiratelife]

Dude... your channel is very special.

[@ericdudley4169]

Wow! Your wonderful soliloquy at the end really moved me bro. So well said. You have a true profound appreciation of NYC and what makes it great. As an older born and raised New Yorker, (Brooklyn) you represent the new spirit of NYC well. Thanks for your work!

[@brianalucinda4102]

Thanks a lot Tom, you made me laugh! 🤣 Serendipity is one of my all time favorite movies

[@knelle1114]

I always prefer the 70s and 80s movies featuring Central Park, like Marathon Man and Ghostbusters.

[@billymuellerTikTok]

Warriors

[@jbe210]

I was actually asking myself when you would actually make a central park tour. Thank you so much for this. Love your tours. Very informative and funny. Cheers!

[@mikeherschhersch82]

Double duty today, I watched you & Sara also. "Anyways " always enjoy your videos.

[@jasonlawrence8450]

The duck that you show at the start of the blog is the same duck that inspired Bette Middler to write her children''s book 'The Tale Of The Mandarin Duck'. Also, Shakespeare not only has a statue, there is an entire garden dedicated to the bard tucked next to the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater (which has its own unique history). Featuring plants mentioned in his plays, the Shakespeare Garden is a picturesque spot for weddings. As for film, Kramer versus Kramer was filmed on the Mall, Sarah Jessica Parker falls into the lake by the Boat House in Sex And The City and a scene from Sweet Charity was filmed on the Bow Bridge. As for the Dakota, it is also where Rosemary's Baby was filmed in 1968. Lastly, the Ramble is perfectly safe at night.

[@rebeccan4763]

Funny, fascinating and pretty tour! Thanks heaps from Australia!!

[@mph85032]

Tom, great job as always. I absolutely love Central Park - one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in NYC - so great to see you provide a tour.

[@StuartONeil]

This was amazing, I thank you and shall spread the word, and yes, pay to your Patreon. This is truly sublime.

[@Debra355]

Reading a book by Linda Fairstein called ‘Death Angel’. Central Park figures predominantly in it & since I had no idea CP was as extensive as described in this book, I checked out YT for vids. Found this walking tour. Amazingly, you touched on things in the book like Seneca Village & Bethesda Terrace. Was totally entertained & am now subscribed. Kudos, TD.

[@FionaEm]

Your videos crack me up every time 😅 and occasionally I even learn a thing or two. Keep 'em coming! Would love to see some tours of the Upper East & West Sides, Harlem, The Bronx, Staten Island etc. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@estefaniaramirez414]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 cool tour!
