The last story qualified for a Sick Plug as you mentioned this story in one of your previous videos you made a year ago Tom. Note , KZbin recommended your channel to me a couple of weeks ago. Already enjoying it.

[@drakedawkins1697]

What do you mean you're wrapping up the dark side series? Enough dark history in NYC to last a lifetime! Point is I really enjoy your videos and don't want them to end! You're an exceedingly exceptional talent! Also I thought "The Central Park 5" would've been a fitting story for this episode. Good luck, enjoy everything you put out!

[@VIKINGOCATIRE]

Hes so hot also. Love his face and body. Nice to look at.

I met Garry Shandling in Central Park back in the late 80's

[@boxsterman77]

Gloria Gaynor, not Diani Ross did "I will survive."

[@KellyAnn2390]

I was laughing so hard the whole episode. Thank you for being such a fun channel.

[@jo.cohennn]

I understand the need for a break, but please do more of these at some point ! I absolutely love hearing about what’s gone on in the neighborhood

[@c.w.johnsonjr6374]

I think part of the darkest side of Central Park is how people were displaced in its construction.

[@ronthemogul]

This story gets over looked so much

[@NeverendingSaga]

Then give up your home

[@TanukiDigital]

The original squatters. :D

[@pacino79]

Enjoyable, informative and humorous as always. The best New York virtual tour guide 👍

Love your New York video tours, bro. Thanks for being out in that harsh cold to bring such interesting New York sights and stories into our warm, cozy homes. Kudos 🏆

[@SusannahPerri]

Another fun and informative video, thanks Tom! Sometimes it was hard to watch because I could almost feel how cold you were!! Steven McDonald's story is inspiring. (btw, Gloria Gaynor originated "I Will Survive.") 🙂 "Henry Hissinger," what a great name for a cat!!

[@TMAItalia]

[@edholohan]

Fascinating...I had no idea all that happened in Central Park, and I grew up in NYC! Thanks for all your great videos!

[@suztjembijawatson3362]

Really enjoying your New York tours and history. What an amazing city. Are there any tales of unusual animal encounters or animals that have surived in spite of the city? Keep up your great work. Thank you for sharing.

[@moisesmartinez4415]

i love this series!! don’t stop lol

[@kuyang17]

Thanks for sharing of NYC stories. Very informative. I believed theres a lot of good story also in that City.

[@michaelfarrell8962]

One of the most tragic and little-known events to ever take place in central park was this video.

[@ulysses1904]

I barely made it past the 2 minute intro.

[@michaelmorales1475]

Great Video!!!

[@simon7762]

Can't wait for your next series :) anything particular planned already?

[@CrookedRosePOD]

Always think of all the SVU episodes. Also this my first time seeing your channel I subbed 🤟🏼

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing.

[@MikeP2055]

Dang, that Officer McDonald story was incredible. What a good dude. (Edit: I say this every time, but your Patron gags make me laugh at the end of every video. I hope people are sticking around for those because you've really outdone yourself on this one.)

[@cupcakescorner7684]

Thanks for those documentations that happened in that nice park.Hope to hear the Next stories about paranormal activities happened in that park.

[@esau93631]

Love your videos Tom.

[@conniegaldos388]

Loved the video (as usual). Appreciate the cat references. Get warm (says the viewer in Florida)!

[@Highland804]

I like your dark side videos. Keep 'em coming!

[@DroneOn]

Wow did not expect the live performances...very nice.

[@Sbow406]

These vids are great ! Never need to visit NYC ever again!

[@glennhand2593]

Great job

[@oyvey764]

Great stories as always. Thanks for braving the cold for all of us watching warm at home. I hope your "nugget pouches" have thawed by now. May I recommend Uniqlo heattech longjohns.... they are thin, very warm and affordable. A must in my book/pants. Stay safe and keep your "nugget pouches" warm! LoL

[@Dave_is_rockin]

Tom your the man!! I ❤️ NY and you satisfy a particular craving for NYC history.. I like to think I make impressive quotes about historical spots when I'm out with friends or on a date.. pls don't be alarmed if I see you lol I tend to be excessively hyper. I suffer from some acronym.. Tom ROCK ON!

[@barbl7498]

Great tour! Thank you. Could you do a story on Prospect Park, and the tree and bench dedicated to Peter Steele?

[@mascottie]

This bird sanctuary makes me think of Home Alone 2

[@tonyperez4791]

Great Video Tom, Thank you for posting. I think the scarier thing in Central Park would be you with that grin. Reminds me of " Pennywise " Hope you have a great/warm week !

[@jennygibbons1258]

Really interesting and funny too. Thanks

[@Moncriefs]

I've been enjoying this Dark Series. I just found out about you about 3 days ago

[@Just_JennAy]

Love your content!!!! New sub here!!! Much love from Little Rock, Arkansas ♥️💪🏽

[@bobbyhogg5727]

Tom you’re the best!! You’re also a great singer!!

[@mrg3218]

I'm a paranormal hunter and. I'm looking for places in NYC to investigate. That's how I bumped into this video. I'm happy I did. Great video 👍

[@lynne8760]

Too funny! I was actually laughing out loud! Good for you guys doing this out in the bitter cold. I’m in the northeast so I get it, it’s the worst!

[@lupelupelupe]

"I will survive" Tom sang it as if he doesn't want to survive

[@eman59461]

Paul Simon you can call me Al is one of my all time favorites. Nice video.

[@nerdbot37]

I was taking a sip of tea when you dropped the Henry Hissinger cat name. Damn near a spit take. I'm still chuckling over it.

[@avdp76]

So nice to see you in person in Central Park. 🖖

[@bobs1474]

My favorite series of the year for sure

[@noreenanthony-tabar2148]

Thanks Tom for braving the cold for this video to be done.

[@dorothymcquilty9064]

I learn so much but the humor is the best

[@luigicanepa8197]

Bring this series back! Do the boroughs!

[@cross75man75]

There was a movie about The Preppy Murder, staring Stephen Baldwin.

[@vaivaivv]

Keep it up Tom!

[@jessefazah3785]

great vid

[@beachyTravels]

This is the one i need to see. I really enjoy Central Park but my family says I should be careful. I can't believe it's dangerous - so beautiful ❤❤

[@angelicagaldos]

Ultimate Sick Plug of a cool dude! 😎 Tom thank you for another awesome dark side video.

[@mjaybash26]

I enjoy these videos. You educate us on the history of places and give us a few laughs along the way. Your silliness is the best. 😁 Stay cool. By the way, I’m guessing the majority of the high crimes in 1986 you mentioned were drug related?

[@robertrhernandezcomedy]

Showed a lot of your videos to my girlfriend and I told her hopefully we can one day see you perform stand up but also, where are the tour guide tickets??? WE NEED THAT

[@luishurtado1635]

Lmao!! When he said his friend ate his arroz con pollo! 🤣🤣 Dude had me dyin bro!😂😂

[@milenabianca9787]

You should do a bright side series about heroic or positive community actions

[@ThecrazyJH96]

The king has returned

[@knuckleblood]

My grandmother used to take me and my sister to a sand park there near her church. My mother would take us to see Shakespeare plays. My high school was on 72nd St. Just a block away.

[@JnTmarie]

Add singing to your bio. Love ya thanks for another good one. ✨

[@chryssmyth1113]

I read that Jackie Kennedy had an apartment with a view of Cleopatra's Needle and she could see Temple of Dendur through it's skylight at The Met.

[@Tj-yg8hs]

That squirrel sure looked guilty to me....

[@Ricanlifestyle]

Me encantan tus videos! 👏👏👏👏✌

[@mrsboz777]

Lmao the cat meme was outstanding!!

Love this guy, always been a fan.

[@leemorgan6810]

Great Show Sir! You are sooooo funny!! I can't stop laughing Sir! Love your Show Sir.

[@julianrodriguez661]

[@sarahgolingan]

Watching here.....all the way from The Philippines

[@DisDutch]

Hey Tom. First. We love all of your videos and humor. Looks like you have new camera. Don't forget to add color correction to your vids. To give it some warmth n color

[@highratingstv9809]

terrific singing!

[@johncano7970]

He got to ride the lightning after dancing with girls . .what a tragic ending .

[@gerardinecizmar]

I was at the Diana Ross concert. I had no clue bad weather was coming. All of a sudden, hell broke loose weather-wise and I had to flee. You would think the organizers would have checked the weather and rescheduled.

[@AUTOPSY666]

You didn't.

[@gerardinecizmar]

@@AUTOPSY666 Didn't think of it. I was young. I lived nearby so running home in the rain wasn't a big deal.

[@danielschulter7182]

That's crazy that a paralyzed man was even able to ride a motorcycle, let alone die in an accident after all he'd been through.

[@HRockk]

Congrats on the NFL MVP award 🏆..Keep up the good Content 👍🏽🗽
