Tom, my daughter and I are huge fans. You're tremendously informative and entertaining. We are now subscriber's. Keep doing what you do. You're not a sell out and your knowledge is incomparable. Best of luck.

[@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.

[@suztjembijawatson3362]

Love the locksmith story. He really did find the 'key' to a happy life. ❤ You are fabulous Tom. Thanks for the tour.

[@Squeegeedude50]

You are a walking encyclopedia( remember them?) of New York plus the most entertaining 👌👌👌👌

[@patriciadcnp]

He doesn’t because he’s only 24!

[@mpainthebuilding7360]

Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 you are a legend! love your tours of NYC, thank you for bringing NYC to the UK during this Pandemic 😷

[@eliaseldeoleo80]

I use to deliver groceries in this neighborhood for 10 years. I made great tips as a teen and in my early 20s.

[@TMAItalia]

I love these tours Tom, New York is fascinating!

[@garyhinton1609]

I don't understand why this channel does not have over 100k subs. Tom you are fabulous. I have been spreading the word.

[@southernhippie9058]

Good to see the old neighborhood. Lived there for many years.

[@38kob]

the knowledge and humor in the first 2 mins alone lets me know this is gonna be good

[@lakelady819]

Thanks for all you do Tom! Since this pandemic hit I've been vicariously living through you.

[@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.

[@madelynroesch7279]

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

[@Triggerhippie70]

Stumbled across your channel today and I’m hooked. Thank you!

[@christinefay1761]

Thanks Tom. My favorite former neighborhood. Good times, great memories.

[@danielderosa8690]

I always give a thumbs up for the analytics!!! Awesome video as per usual.

[@Shag471]

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

[@peterwhitman5575]

Finally someone who developed there own style that is informative, and funny in that quirky intelligent way. Keep rocking your vlog. 🤟🤟

[@WackiiJackii]

I've lived in NYC for 5 years and my partner was born in the Bronx. We both love these tours so much! Keep it up!

[@richt.4900]

Nice one Tom, brilliant weather for a tour I can’t wait to get over in 2022. From this side of the pond here in England (Brexitland 🇪🇺🤭). Tom “I’m rambling, see you all later, sic!

[@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.

[@rozwhite4297]

Fantastic video. This video is my favorite so far. Your knowledge is incredible. Thank you, Tom.

[@barrymoore6227]

As an Aussie who has been to NYC many times l find your videos absolutely fantastic and entertaining, I'm learning so much l never knew before. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Buffaloc]

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

[@EUPHORIAMUSIQ]

Thanks Tom . I love your channel. Very informative and entertaining 👏

[@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.

[@miamonte8461]

Thanks, Tom. As a longtime Village resident, I loved this and learned quite a few new things! This is my first walk with you. I'll look into your others and join you for many more. BTW, Stew is a great cameraman.

[@kmjsmith]

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

[@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.

[@9doe212]

15:15 'Grand central partnership " Employee right here Checking it out...cool good information your given here, Now I know the significants of the brown street signs also...cool Trivia...

[@benwith1n528]

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

[@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!

[@jaredleemease]

Thank you Tom. 🏜🕺🏻🐕🏖

[@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!

[@amymalina5073]

The gardens at St. Luke’s church were beautiful. Not sure they are still open to the public as they were when I lived on Barrow Street many years ago.

[@angellosmalefakis1321]

Wow! YOU are walking by Westbeth Housing. I used to live there with the composer David Del Tredici who still lives there. Lots of artist live in that building. Now they have a parking spot for bicycles? I used to park my car and motorcycle there. I did NOT know by the way that John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived there! Its NYC! Furthermore, one block north of the Bell Building was the home of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Down the street was the ATM that he used to get the money from the supermarket to feed his drug binge. Very interesting!

[@andrewusa14]

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

[@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!!

[@anncrane1097]

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

[@61kimmarie]

Tom, Your video's are very informative. You make taking a tour pleasurable. It's your content that keeps the viewers always coming back for more. I automatically hit the thumbs up button without first viewing the video. 🍎🗽👍🏾👈🏾

[@michaelpasquince6070]

Thanks for the information now let's organize and visit

[@lunabouch]

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

[@Itsgrantsrants]

Love your videos. I live in the west village so I enjoyed it. I like that you keep your videos clean. Everyone can watch and enjoy them.

[@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

[@PatriciaSantos-wz7xh]

Love your videos. Thanks for another quick tour.

[@larrygrasso6032]

Tom, you're still the best !

[@cdman40]

My Family had that Quiet for many years until 2021 when we sold our brownstone At 95 Bedford St. after my mom's death.

[@benwith1n528]

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

[@carmelinapejic2016]

I get so happy when you post your videos 😃

[@joannevincent2035]

Tom, this was my first of your walking tour vids - now I'm planning on watching them all.

[@BrianLallyOfficial]

Good walking tour! Thanks for posting.

[@wouterschijf47]

When I visited Manhatten, I find many similarities with Amsterdam, especially visiting the square at the ferry terminal, it just smelled after walking through the dam sqaure.

[@elliecrabbe]

Love the way you did the tour!

[@MilesBellas]

22:00 Mr Robinson was written about Eleanor Roosevelt and the name was changed. . Anne Bancroft was married to Mel Brookes.

[@양소영-v6j]

Enjoyed watching

[@paulrobertson1589]

Brilliant again Tom , love the rural village feel in the city Chilled 👍

[@paulvincent3410]

Love how, at the end, you put your hand up to shade your eyes instead of simply turning your hat around. Classic.

[@dorisq9241]

Love this video and keep watching all others! Got my sister hooked on these, as well. Thank you!

[@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 🎥

[@olgabarasoain]

"86" 'D ... THAT WAS A BRILLIANT FACT, THANKS!!

[@nakhul35]

This video made me realize how much I don't know about my neighborhood. Great video.

[@saxonderohan9723]

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

[@MrNitromike1]

Really enjoy all the information videos.

[@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

[@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.

[@ryano913]

@ 13:09 this is the block that inspired Hitchcock movie Rear Window , fun fact

[@mlryap6345]

Awesome tour Tom and Stewie! Cheers from the Philippines!

[@walkwithtom236]

I give Tom a thumbs up before even watch

[@woop2235]

Thanks again for an enjoyable tour! You are the GOAT🥰‼️🍎

[@plazaro100]

Good video, you rock Tom.

[@sertaccin5785]

Amazing Video. Thanks. Please keep doing this Videos. Its great 😊

[@proxymatik]

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

[@nycbloodymoney23]

You the man Tom!!! Thank you!!!!

[@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.

[@Gustav0Silva]

Thank you 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.

[@MeMe-td1ye]

This channel is so much better than action kid. I guess most aren't interested in learning stuff

[@FionaEm]

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

[@whwh7339]

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

[@davidhollingsworth1723]

Oh! Before I forget: you were talking about Park Ave. Back in the day 4th Ave ran all the way up to Grand Central Station and Then changed to Park Ave. Apropos Christopher St: I would usually take the Ferry, walk up 7th Ave to Penn Station. I was not around when they demolished the station but I caught it in the news. Can't remember where I was. I once heard that they are talking about eliminating Penn Station altogether cuz the bulk of the train traffic comes out of Grand Central. Air travel has pretty well replaced a lot of travel by rail. Can't think of anything else at the moment, so --------Anyway Great tour.

[@colinmcgraw]

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

[@paulmcdonough1093]

Fantastic as usual Tom

[@enzop2835]

Awesome vid. You're a natural Tom

[@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!

[@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 !

[@triciaashe611]

Absolutely Love the West Village:)!!!!

[@Mike-g1p]

great tour

[@ifijenya34]

Great video, thank you 👏👏👏

[@jeanoday6916]

Thomas, love Your Singing, You could write a Song explaining each tour, Singing Tours! A True N.Y. Gent and Quite Rightly🗽The Historical Buildings are Heartwarming! Excellent Way to Embrace Us With Complete Grooviness☺🌃

[@edholohan]

Great video! I love your channel.

[@joelherbert3377]

I'm a grown man. Yet, when I hear the sound effect used with your "sick plugs," I find myself laughing, like, uncontrollably. Also, your, "OMG Totes Cra Hahuh Friends Yay," quote LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[@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 🤣

[@esmeesme7666]

Hi Tom! So fun to have a new video from you!! When we eventually get to go back to NYC as we are in 🇨🇦 , we will book a tour with you!!❤️

[@notpurrfect6397]

Jane Jacobs moved to Toronto and stopped an expressway that would have cut the city in half. Obviously a lot of people opposed it but she brought the name and experience fron nyc.

[@michaelpasquince6070]

We need to organize and get there

[@RedStickLouisiana]

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

[@conniepemberton]

I love your videos thanks so much!!

[@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.

[@lbisurfreak]

thank you tommy
