[@yikes710]

Not a sellout yet these was like 3 shameless plugs in the beginning of the video lmao

[@allendelagarza7512]

@@yikes710 i don't think you know what a sell out is.

[@Squeegeedude50]

[@ifijenya34]

Great video, thank you 👏👏👏

[@Buffaloc]

I normally turn the sound off on walking around videos but this guy is good. Very good.

[@blessedfive]

It’s probably been said before but you and your tours remind me of one of my favorite channels Joolz Guides. Keep up the good work!!

[@enzop2835]

Awesome vid. You're a natural Tom

[@barbarawillis4275]

I love your tour through the West Village and your historical information. I will watch your previous videos and catch up. I subscribed. Thank you. Commenting 10/24/23.

[@whwh7339]

Awesome vid, way more informative than I was expecting. Have a sub good sir

[@FionaEm]

Another excellent video, Tom 😊 I don't know what else to tell ya. Siiiiiiiick! Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@fiftylester]

Highly enjoyable video as always Tom. Despite having visited NY a lot over the years I never spent too much time in the west villaage. I think I'll have to address that next time I visit !

[@lbisurfreak]

thank you tommy

[@saxonderohan9723]

I was actually looking for a West Village video last night. Perfect 👍🏼 timing! ⏱

[@marleneg7794]

I live on a ranch in Colorado 150 acres of prairie. The idea of NYC is pretty amazing and crazy thanks for the visit.

[@claudiahansen4938]

Interesting tidbits I didn't know when living there in the seventies. You showed my old building at 99 Bank, and were right around the corner from where I lived in West Village Houses on West 11th Street.

[@stevetaylormynewyorkcity9728]

Ok first of all, it's great to see the channel continue to grow, so well deserved. Second of all, who the hell hit the thumbs down button? There's just no pleasing some people! And third of all, I totally agree with you about the Jane Jacobs movie, this should definitely be made. Such an important woman, not just for NYC but for many American cities. Great work again Tom!

[@Newyorkhoje]

Tom, you are hilarious! Not only we get a lot of information, but some comedy show attached to your great knowledge! 😀 chill out and relax, I will take part of your Patreon soon as I get paid.

[@edholohan]

Great video! I love your channel.

[@madelynroesch7279]

In my high school and college days I spent a lot of time in these neighborhoods--that was back in the '60s

[@baxtermaxtor]

Love your videos! 😉

[@larrygrasso6032]

Tom, you're still the best !

[@michaelpasquince6070]

Thanks for the information now let's organize and visit

[@adrilyst5]

Awesome video. I liked the part of Jane Jacobs, I learned about her in the Motherless Brooklyn movie. Didn’t know about that home, will have to visit it. Thanks!

[@colinmcgraw]

Really nice video! You know you're history! I'm new to New York - but learning through you!

[@andrewusa14]

I currently live in the west village and this video is awesome

[@louisea6109]

Great video! Learn so much about the big apple:) Keep it up! x

[@triciaashe611]

Absolutely Love the West Village:)!!!!

[@brianduncan5758]

Thank you.

[@benwith1n528]

A wealth of knowledge AND a competent Wallace Shawn impersonation? You're a national treasure Tom!

[@Shag471]

Cherry Lane Theatre is also the oldest off Broadway theatre in NYC. Staff person gave me a tour of the theatre in 2015.

[@tomdulski3729]

great video

[@brandondrake14]

Love this! Just discovered the channel.

[@marym.garcia4147]

"it's not crime and punishment" 🤣. Excellent tour, much enjoyed. Your historical knowledge is impressive most especially the reference to Jane Jacobs and architecture. Nice camera work Stewie 🎥

[@lunabouch]

Any tour that includes Wallace Shawn has to be a good tour👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@brainxtc2171]

Love the village. ❤️

[@harryjamessmithmusic7762]

You're a genius, Tom! Brilliant video!!! My favorite location. I love the West Village! Btw. I think there is also a famous sing along piano bar Marie's Crisis (Café) somewhere. (Grove St?). You covered that, I think, in one of your previous videos. Greetings from the EU!

[@patriciaperkins4252]

Back in the day: mid 1980s, there was a placed on Hudson called "Cafe Sha Sha," between Christopher & 10th. Actually had an outdoor garden and about 10 different kinds of cheesecake. As always, Tom Delgado, great tour !

[@MilesBellas]

The West Village reminds me a bit of Savannah, GA.

[@tammiegrant2883]

I love your channel

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Lot of memories of the Bank St area in the 1960's and 70's. HB Studio, the White Horse, the Cookie Bar, Bill Hickey, Uta Hagen, etc. and etc. BTW, John and Yoko owned a number of buildings on and near Bank St.

[@walkwithtom236]

I give Tom a thumbs up before even watch

[@kmjsmith]

Stayed at the Washington Square Hotel a few months ago... man, this dude makes me miss New York so much!

[@benwith1n528]

I literally can't believe that's where the term 86 came from. Also crazy Cary Grant lived in such a tiny place.

[@luccisosa6185]

When I first came to the u.s this was the neighborhood my aunts stayed at. They loved walking around and explaining the history of the area. Different vibe. People go out and get wine type of place

[@michaelpasquince6070]

We need to organize and get there

[@u5T30]

Nice good stuff.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Very nice.

[@proxymatik]

I was over the last week. Really cool area. Very sneaky once the sun go down. lol

[@TXMEDRGR]

Another great video. I predict great things for Stewie, the man is a genius behind the camera. The other guy is okay too.

[@sabrinagrant8003]

I’m new here😊😀 I’m loving the channel!

[@patlebreux1888]

Thanks 😊 my dude, I'll be coming with my girl friend in Sep 2022. Looking at your videos help us get an fair idea of what is going on. Keep on trucking. Pat and Emma Sydney Australia.

[@tomdnyc1]

Awesome - if you're around, check out my Wednesday show @whatelsecomedy

[@cr4ck3rj4ck26]

Hey, I'm from Leeds in the North of England. Just an observation from this and another video, when you reference GMT you're saying it abbreviates as Greenwich Medium Time, the actual meaning is Greenwich Mean Time. Anyway, really enjoy your vids, I visit once a year and I'm back in 7 weeks (Paddy's day), so I've been checking out when I'm over. So big thumbs up mate. Keep up the good work and you never know I might see you making a video when I'm over. I'll shout you and Phil/Stewie a beer if I do. All the best.

[@millardthompson8157]

Thank you Very nice xo

[@seanmullan8203]

Belfast Ireland here. Love your videos. Hoping to come over in December. Staying in Harlem. Hoping to dazzle the family with some of your facts 🤣

[@christinevitale1243]

Loved this vid....I'm a subscriber now. Lots of knowledge, and humor...just one thing though. I understand from bicycle riders: "Bikers" are motorcycle riders. "Cyclists" are people who adamantly declare they ride bicycles, and are NOT bikers! LOL.

[@anncrane1097]

That 86 is the best fact I have heard that pertains to my life and interests.

[@typerk]

You can tell how expensive the neighborhood is by the volume of Tom's voice. When he whispers it's really expensive 😆
