He’s not the comedic historical tour guide New York deserves, but he’s the one it needs. Keep doing your thing man, you are a treasure.

I remember riding through sunnyside as a kid when my mom drove from Ravenswood projects (in Astoria) to Rego park. Yes, i actually had a car nyc experience but owning a car in Queens is fairly common since its futher out and less subway access.

Hands Down!!!!Sunnyside Queens is my all time favorite nyc neighborhood. I always stop by there to walk around, eat at the local restaurants and play chess with the old timers at sunnyside park. Always get this feeling of well being and carefree when I'm there.

I always watch your videos straight through from start to finish, Tom. Otherwise I would miss the little nuggets of silly humor and of course when you break into song. (Don’t know if I will be buying the album though) The car honking right when you talked about the quiet neighborhood was perfect!
