NYC's Madison Square is a Tale of Murder, Burgers, and Baseball

Tom Delgado takes you on a walk around Madison Square, which is formed by the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York City. He tells you the history of important landmarks surrounding or near the square, like the Empire State Building and the original Madison Square Garden. Shot by Dan Foley.

I teach high school gym class on 14st and 5th ave, close by Union Square park. It’s such a joy to learn the history of this area. Tom you are a gem! I hope you fulfill your dreams and I hope to cross paths with you at some point to share our love for NYC! You deserve so much more recognition that what KZbin provides.

6:33 “No matter how hard we try, in 100 years no one’s gonna care” Ironically, nobody remembers Roscoe Conkling, but Tom actually has a pretty good shot of people in 100 years still watching his videos, considering that he’s video-documenting 202X New York in detail.

[@DesimaVEBO]

It made me happy to know that ActionKid is actually your Patreon friend's, both are the best, keep doing these tours dear tom!

[@Catelynmeow]

Thank you for braving the heat to give us these tours!

[@indigoroots]

I worked in the Flat Iron in the mailroom of a book publishing company 1980's. There was an elevator operator who was from the Mosquito tribe of Honduras.

[@topquarkbln]

Again lots of information and your unique irony make your videos worth watching. Good to listen to plus enjoy and smile from your direct language while you draw the lines in time and space. Also I have to think again: what a town! ❤️👍

[@Jay75ny]

The details in his videos deserve a NEw YORK City recognition. I enjoyed every sec of it

[@philpaule472]

Nothing like waking up on July 5th and seeing there is a new Tom video !!!! Best part of the day so far.

[@axldemocracy]

"I thought I smelled something" timed perfectly as you pass the guy barefoot.

[@amandaorlando5303]

Since finding your channel I have a routine of watching a video while I make dinner, and I really look forward to it at the end of the day

[@joshualebowitz]

You have one of the best channels on KZbin.

[@OUTNABOUTwithYoursTrulyLIZZOC]

Thank you for the walk through Madison Square, always funny, informative and entertaining!

[@brianmungermusic1744]

[@LC8VIII]

My fiancée and I watch Tom videos and chill all day BABY!!

[@markjawitz6363]

I learn so much from you. ( Torpedoes were the names during the Civil War 4 stationary aquatic mines meant to destroy ships. We did not have the technology to shoot aimed torpedos yet.)

[@stevetaylormynewyorkcity9728]

Brilliant, as usual! Is it bad of me that from all the excellent information you shared, the thing sticking with me most is you going back into court and telling the jurors to smash that not guilty button?! Ha ha Also you missed a couple of sick plugs: The Tampa video should have been sick plug 5, NY Public Library 6, and Midtown (right at the end) 7. Just saying, so chill out man! LOL

[@colleen4062]

Love your vidoes and your live streams Thank you. 👍😁

[@swaggy3987]

one of the best tour videos i've seen, so detailed, an actual walkthrough, insight and interesting stories, great personality... love it!!

[@oceandreams3467]

OMG - not sure how I found your video but so glad I did! Normally not a history fan, but you really make it enjoyable. Love your sense of humor!

[@Vice1Ghost]

The opening part about the wind gusts from The Flat Iron building blowing up lady’s skirts on 23rd street, apparently that’s where the term 23 Skidoo comes from

[@leemontoya8028]

I liked this Tour! And my leg's loved it!!

20:04 Missed Sick Plug 🔌 Opportunity 😂

[@JulianSteve]

Yes he did. I think Tom did not want to get overwhelmed with all of the “sick plug” opportunities😭💯

[@suztjembijawatson3362]

I've always been facinated by NYC. Unfortunately I will never be able to explore there. When I'm feeling out of sorts I load up one of your videos and go for a walk with you. Love them. Thank you.

[@SicilianStealth]

Yes Kim Novak and Jack Lemmon the Flat Iron Building was featured in Bell Book and Candle.

How’s the comedy scene in the city been recently?

Love your tours, Tom! I looked for you all day yesterday while touring NYC on the Hop On Hop Off. Leaving here today. Your info made our visit much more enjoyable. Thanks!

[@keet3028]

First yaaay. . Tom biggest fan. Hi Tom, thanks for continuing to post amazing informative videos.

[@TheChuckoluck]

I really enjoy your intelligence on these videos. Too many NYC vloggers have reached the Peter Principle when they pick up a camera and attempt to vlog. You know who they are and this will not insult them because they have no idea what the Peter Principle is. You are right up there with Walking Commuter who is another highly educated vlogger. I'm attempting to watch all your videos in the next week and really looking forward to it.

[@albertjurkowski9038]

The couple blocks north, south, and around Madison square have some of the most diverse and beautiful architecture in the city. I would sit there for inspiration as I was writing a dissertation on NYC skyscrapers

[@d.prescott4895]

Another great tour, Thank you for making such great videos. I super enjoy learning about the buildings, and how the connections are made. You really have a nice confidence & hope someday to learn more on the conheim clock, by Rudy de Harak. I saw it once in a film and since then hypnotized by it and the building :) Im an artist from Hawaii living in Vermont, going to move to NYC one day. Your videos inspire so much, Thanks \!!!/

[@ceciliawilson6328]

You are always so informative. The story about the poor guy who got stabbed in the face and scarred for life.......... Never heard that.

[@zoeyvonne7298]

I love this! I love all the information

[@james5460]

I love the focus on these sites around 14th-23rd Streets. Off the typical tourist path but very interesting with lots of history! There are lots of iconic old shots of the Flatiron Building because lots of top photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz had their offices nearby around the turn of the 20th Century.

[@carriebenner8075]

Thanks for the tour. I can't wait until Aug so I can walk the Street and Avenues of NYC for real!!!!

Tom I've seen all your videos...your amazing to watch..so informative

[@catwood7035]

I recently read a book that included Roscoe Conkline as a character. It began at the time of the 1888 blizzard, which was an opportunity for a murder in the book. Good read. "What the Dead Leave Behind" by Rosemary Simpson.

[@StoneyHoliday]

Tom you are awesome. Your encyclopedic knowledge of NYC is admirable. Also you missed SONY headquarters right there on the unfinished skyscraper.

[@PedroHernandez-im9zv]

I moved to the area 7 years ago, I That when you cross a street or avenue, you find the most important buildings of NYC. Like, the Flariton building on 5th av, you can see the freedom tower, on Madison av you see the Empire State Building, with the creepy freemason details. America has freedom of sin not to sin, on 3rd av, we can see the Chrysler building, on 3rd av. The financial district with the Statue on top. Near Brooklyn Bridge. I forgot the name but is gorgeous. That's the peculiar thing I found on east 23rd, St. It's getting prettier now. Enjoy ;)

[@larrygrasso6032]

I use to work there for years the toy building 200 5th Ave. And yes you're still the best.

Can’t get enough of these videos. Tom, ya really gotta do a video on Neir’s Tavern here in Woodhaven, Queens. The oldest continuously operating bar in NYC. YES, older than McSorley’s! If you’re interested I’ll put you in contact with Loy Gordon, the owner. A really cool dude and an FDNY Lieutenant.

[@nicolasfrancois927]

Very good ❤ !

[@3618499]

😃" INTERESTING!.... Normally, I don't care for most ' walking tours ' because most are simply too long and drawn out. There's something to be said for ' short and sweet ' video highlights and showcases, instead of meandering through crowded sidewalks and the ' hustle and bustle ' en route to various attractions. Well Done! "

[@khubb83]

Hey Tom. I dont know if you take requests, but I am a big Horse Racing fan and would love to see Belmont Park and the surrounding area. I am sure you know some cool obscure facts about it. Just a thought. Love the channel.

[@hungrysoles]

Hi Tom, I had no idea you were a lawyer. No wonder you're so smart and retain so much information. Across the street from the site of the old Madison Square Garden was the Leonard Jerome Town House. He was a wealthy New Yorker who daughter ,Jennie Jerome married Lord Randolph Churchill and were the parents of Sir Winston Churchill. I think the house later became a private club and was later torn down. James Stewart and Kim Novak do a love scene on the top of the Flatiron Building in the movie,BELL,BOOK AND CANDLE. The last big event i the old Madison Square Garden was the 1924 Democratic Convention that took 103 ballots before John W.Davis became the nominee and lost to Calvin Coolidge. The inside was extremely humid because their was no air conditioning. I know it gets hot in New York this time of the year so you wore the right kind of gear. I know also a lot of garbage rots and it really stinks. Feel free to use some of my own little tid bits in your tours. We all know a little bit about a lot of things. I found Madison Square by accident on one of my trips and saw the iconic building.which was a great surprise.

Some more history near there. CJ Vanderbilt killed himself in the 5th floor of 935 Broadway. Formerly a hotel. Now the Harry Potter New York flagship store. So much amazing history in Flatiron.

[@kellysalvadore]

Isn't the origin of the phrase "23 Skidoo" have to do with the police chasing away the guys who would plant themselves around the Flatiron building to watch the skirt action?
