Another amazing video by the most iconic MAN of New York City

[@matthewhintz6404]

I look forward to every one of these videos. Tom is a national treasure!

[@maruvia]

Thank you Tom and Eric appreciate you freezing your butts off to get us these great videos. 😊

Years ago, my parents saw La Lupe at Audubon Ballroom, and they said that the place was packed with a racially diverse audience. When Lupe came on the stage, she sang and danced for over 2 hours without stopping. According to my folks, audience lost it and went bananas. They couldn’t get enough of her. My mom said that Lupe took over 10 curtain bows.

[@IselaAvila]

[@jfox9126]

Nice - another really entertaining video with great stories that I’ve never heard before. Also Eric makes a top notch straight man!

[@eddunaway5371]

Nice video have a good sense of humor let you guys videos make me want to go to New York to visit I'm from St Louis

[@coolaunt516]

I think everyoen should visit NYC at least once. There is nothing like it!

[@nancywysemen7196]

zora worked on a mural with diego rivera. exciting and useful lives. wondered what happened to mother hale....

[@coolaunt516]

She died from a stroke in 1992.

[@lunabouch]

Your reference to Dick Cavett is definitely an important resource to the 60-70’s. He really was of the moment to some amazing people who really were important and usually very cool.

[@Gl6619]

4:10 Tommy, breaking down literature…gotta love putting that freshman English course to use.

[@dejavum2685]

I was literally looking for an Uptown tour earlier today and you didn’t have one and a couple hours later I’m blessed with this✨

[@alarikaguilar7543]

Love all your NYC tour videos! Eric I see you too man. Always good to see these NYC videos of the city I was born and raised in!! Truly enjoy watching these.. Keep ‘em coming!!

[@simon7762]

So glad I found your channel, really enjoy your videos!

[@heycarrieann]

I know this has nothing to do with your video (I literally just started watching it two seconds ago), but I have a special request. I've seen all kinds of videos about the abandoned City Hall subway station, and I don't necessarily want to see the station. But what I AM interested in seeing is where the skylight can be seen FROM ABOVE. I THINK it's supposed to be in the parking lot of the City Hall parking lot. And there are grates somewhere where you can look down and see the station, as well. I'd love to see that. :D

[@shannono8397]

I absolutely love your videos, and every topic you cover! Thank you so much, your videos really gave me much confidence going to NYC my 1st time. Im a growing artist from hawaii, but will someday be able to be your patreon. I moved to the east coast to be closer to NY, love being in the pine trees & snow now. NYC history is so vast, in such a short time really. Thank you for covering all topics, these 2 Women of New York vids were realllly moving. WOW!

[@tiggertown4918]

Good video good content camera work excellent Tom great commentary

[@dissidentfairy4264]

What an inspirational show! A lot of people don't receive the credit they deserve. It's sad.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

I left this comment before I heard about the woman who kept on shooting after her husband keeled over dead. It left me kind of speechless. That was rather bizarre. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry:-)

[@andrasszerencses]

I love it, I always watch it sat morning next to my coffee, so I'm overdosed with caffeine lol

[@nelsongrimaldi3926]

Another great video, thanks Tom🥂🥂🥂🥂

[@LauraAlvarez-qe9de]

Thank you for this great info..La Lupe. AKA. La gigigi is still one of my favorite Latin music artist. SALUDOS..

[@maxivisionvermont1333]

U kick ass love NYC need to explore more next time very soon

[@dorisq9241]

This is a wonderful video! So rewarding to hear you talk and quote Zora Neale Hurston. Here in Orlando we celebrate her in a big way at the ZORA! Festival (happening this week thru this weekend). It is a multi-day event composed of public talks, museum exhibitions, theatrical productions, arts education programming, and a 3-day Outdoor Festival of the Arts. Taking place primarily in her hometown, Eatonville, Florida (10 miles north of Orlando) and throughout Orange County. Thank you for sharing the stories of these remarkable women! Loved your first video and love even more so the second. I also enjoyed the stories of La Lupe and the birth of salsa; Clara Hale and Margaret Corbin - such resiliance, love and strength. Thank you for sharing and all you do for us to be well-informed.

[@eugenedimitrov]

Hey Tom and Eric! What's up? Another awesome video!!!

[@howamilooking5952]

Thanks for pointing me towards La Lupa on Dick Cavette. Love his interviews and that was fantastico!

[@MikeP2055]

Dang, Tom, this one was so captivating! Don't get me wrong, I love all of your videos (I just rewatched the Sydney, AU episode for the third time), but there was a little twinkle in your eye throughout this adventure. Beautiful architecture, distinct snapshots of history, remarkable women who lived remarkable lives, very pretty shots of the river and riverside environs, and . . . Eric. In all sincerity, I'd love to tell you how helpful your videos have been for me over the past two or so years, but maybe not in the comment section. I've never looked at Patreon in my life (I've not even sure if I even understand what it is!), but if I can figure it out, I'll be in touch soon. One more thing, totally unrelated to this comment: how long does it take for mushrooms to kick in?

[@tamedshrew235]

Amazing that you recalled that line from Their Eyes, an incredible book. In my graduate studies I was fortunate enough to take a class in African American Literature taught by the recently deceased, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Charles Fuller. It took over 20 years in academics to be introduced to these absolutely brilliant writers. Much is written for the need to enhance African American history in our schools, but let's not forget how much we learn from each other by reading literature. Political Science and Social Studies may teach facts but literature teaches us what is in the human heart.

[@Barbkr777]

Nice .like the quote and philosophy Thanks brother

[@vondelpark8141]

Geweldig!

great vid tom

OMG..it’s Tommy D…in the place to be

[@vincentgoupil180]

er, kinda of a dark video overall Since ya' on a roll "Female NYC Artists" starting off with Diane Arbus ? Thanks for the tour

[@MikeP2055]

Oooooo, that's a great idea. She fascinates me. That'd definitely be a dark one though, like you said, because of her . . . ya know.

[@vincentgoupil180]

@@MikeP2055 ... proclivities Tom made up as "Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park" 1962, intro ?

[@vincentgoupil180]

Add to list, Eva Hesse (granddaughter of Herman H.), Helen Frankenthaler, Angie Warhola ...

[@MrRezRising]

Hey Tom, when is your show in Feb and how do I get tix? Looking forward to seeing you and Lucie P. 🤘

[@LordsChamber]

I've already got one. So cray!! (psst, online ticket!)

[@MrRezRising]

@@LordsChamber I went looking, 21 clinton street, eyc. No luck. Tom had a link in his last video and I clicked, didn't buy right then, went back a day later and link was gone. Can't find the name of the show, and did a search with his and Lucie's name and nothing. So...here I am.

[@tomdnyc1]

Rez! It's gonna be a monthly show. Hope to see you there. Here's the link to the venue and tix - caveat.stellartickets.com/events/tom-ds-big-new-york-show

Thanks again John in Chicago

[@mitchelljarmellmiller6102]

Great content. Love the vids

[@Mrbeahz1]

Eric wasn't around for the Cuban revolution? Tell him to watch Godfather II. And at 13:29, that is so New York - the fence and razor wire extending past the roof-line.

[@ralphromeo7066]

When are you coming on my show, Tom? Would enjoy interviewing you.

[@bleuiselectric4546]

Tom, I really enjoy your videos, I like the Women you chose to cover, and the two of you (Eric) are hilarious. However, I do have one thing to add. Calling Captain Molly crippled is inaccurate. Technically, I cannot use my left arm (stroke) but I'm nowhere near crippled!

[@fegu]

17:33 as a tourist I do know this area because of The Met Cloisters

[@LSK1]

Do fort tryon video then do van cortlandt park

[@evaaven4221]

If I was not from San Francisco, I would be from New York. It's ok Tom.

[@eltronics]

I got a novel idea Tom, wear gloves!

[@MilesBellas]

4:15 it's awful to realise how many talented writers, artists musicians etc.... now recognized as famous, struggled to even live....... From Van Gogh, to Shelley to James Calvin Wilsey (Chris Isaac's guitarist), Lovecraft, Orwell, Rowling, Stephen King, Steinbeck.....etc... That appropriation from poverty is the motive behind some art forgers (van Meegeren, Eric Hebborn).... who wanted revénģe against "the establishment). Even "Girl With The Pearl Ear Ring" artist ....Vermeer.....suffered too, now one painting = $30 million

Great job, Tom. ✊ Dick Cavett ruined all other talk shows for me.

Why not create a written version of what you do? A nice book or books with good photos. Another way to monetize maybe?

Charles Rangel and Adam Clayton Powell (ways) . . . oops! Can't say anything un-politically correct.
