I watched your channel before traveling to NY last week...and you helped the family with navigating Manhattan. And now you are in my home state!

[@RobertoLopezstudyis]

Scottsdale, Arizona is such a beautiful place with lots to see and do especially during this time of year.

[@adenolenti]

Ben not only does a great job, he also has a great job.

[@HereBeBarr]

[@ahhitskatie9094]

Lived in Phoenix for a while, but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been back. Finally revisiting after a couple years and this video makes me so excited!

[@CashJordan]

Ive been to Scottsdale its awesome, but i missed out on half the things in your video because i didnt know

[@HereBeBarr]

Take the wifey shopping!

[@basedoz5745]

I would love to see some Cash Jordan style Scottsdale apartment tours

[@JackieJackland]

Thank you for creating this content, it was so helpful for my Arizona trip!!

[@ramcesdelgado5123]

This was such a fun experience Jon👍 I ❤️🌵Arizona, The Botanical Garden is an amazing place when they turn on their light shows at night, I also love the group of horses marching together crossing into the water 🐴

[@HereBeBarr]

:)

[@johnblachaniec8856]

Living near Old Town Scottsdale,. you did a great job representing Old Town! Thanks!

[@IronMkT682]

Wow, I lived there for 4 years and I’ve only done 1 of the activities. Now I have to go back! Great video!

[@FoodandFootprints]

300 days of sunshine a year - awesome!

[@TrixxxLovesChaos]

So glad you guys enjoyed it here!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@alanb7095]

Looks magical!

[@arodin]

Really nice video. I'm glad you packed Ben in your luggage, his camera work is really great in that scenery. I never really thought about visiting AZ, but it's on my list now.

[@HereBeBarr]

I absolutely love Arizona

[@Elevatorboy886]

Being a Phoenix metro area local. I know a lot of fun things to do

[@AdrianaMarvan]

Another amazing trip 😍. All the things we did were so fun!

[@HereBeBarr]

;)

[@BRONXGIRL10]

If you're still here Adriana and Jon, please be careful in our heat!!! We have a heat advisory going on right now through this coming Friday, where our temperature is expected to reach at least 117 degrees each day. Granted, our humidity is about 2-3%, but it will still feel like you're in an oven. Make sure you drink a lot of water while you're here. Take it from this former Bronxgirl... Phoenix and Scottsdale sure aren't the Bronx!

[@cbaxel5784]

Seeing horses probably isn't something you'll see while kayaking on the Hudson. I've never had a desire to visit the southwest, but you may have sold me on Scottsdale. It looked absolutely beautiful.

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks. Yes, Arizona is very special.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I live in Tucson, which is a couple hours away, but looks identical (Sonoran Desert). My brother has lived in Scottsdale for 20 years now. If you do decide to visit, I’d recommend coming around late Oct-Dec or Mar-May that way you’ll avoid the worst of the heat.🙂 It’s supposed to hit 113 here today & the Phoenix area is usually even hotter🥵

[@erinjohnson8117]

This is just what I needed since I recently finished watching all of Sarah Funky’s Scottsdale videos! Cannot wait to go here 🏜

[@HereBeBarr]

Yeah she loved it too!!

[@deliverancetwo]

Magnificently beautiful! Thanks for sharing your memories with us

[@chrisolson3240]

Missed you guys here in Vegas.. congratulations on 200k subscribers! Well earned! You have to admit, 100 degrees not too bad. Like opening up the oven door... enjoy your time in the Southwest ☺️

[@HereBeBarr]

hahaha it sure was hot.

[@karchi4819]

OMG, awesome video, guys... so glad we are able to travel again!!

[@paolaa6883]

My hometown 🌵🏜💛 Loved this video!

[@JoseDozalArreola]

I love all your videos. Scottsdale summers are beautiful 115 degrees.

[@HereBeBarr]

Well i prefer under 100 haha. But it's a good excuse for the pool.

[@stephintexas24]

Moving to Scottsdale in January from Texas. So excited!

Such a fun trip, that water slide is 💦

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks 🙏🏻 yeah you and Jeff would have fun

[@beautifulmemorieswithdrdeepti]

[@josh2k4]

Welcome to my state bro! Glad you enjoyed Scottsdale so much else to do in Arizona. Lots of ghost towns as well. But it's soooooo hot

[@flywithflorin]

Thanks for sharing! Ironically I'm headed to Scottsdale in 2 weeks to visit so it was cool to see one of my favorite NYC KZbinrs talk about visiting AZ.

[@HereBeBarr]

Have fun!

[@jacquig3116]

Great tips! So much to do in Scottsdale and AZ! Hiking is great but summertime is not the time to be hiking when it's super hot outside. It can be deadly in this heat.

[@vailewalders1395]

Oh those swimming horses fantastic and your hotel is beautiful

[@HereBeBarr]

👌🏻👌🏻

[@jahanas22]

That gives me some good ideas when I go there. The kayaking looks like fun.

[@HereBeBarr]

You should try it.

Looks great, I definitely want to see the desert out there, the hiking would be the reason I’d go there!

[@debsterlee3801]

You were right down the street from me! I caught a glimpse of Barrio Queen...you should have gone in there for Happy Hour Margaritas and street tacos. Glad you had a good time. Come back in February when it is really beautiful (and not so hot).

[@myworld5391]

Great Video, I didn't know about half of these things

[@oldschoolbible1978]

great job sir,Arizona historical state great restaurants

[@janamiranda4118]

So glad that you and Adriana (and Ben) had fun in Scottsdale. I live about 20 minutes away and hike 3-5 times weekly in the Phoenix Mtn. Preserve (gotta hit the trail before 6 a.m. in summer), but now I'm thinking I should make the drive out to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve at least once this week.

[@HereBeBarr]

That is awesome!

[@glensnider8028]

My wife have them all we loved them all.

[@ralphripoff1]

Lucky Ben, he gets to come with you! That kayak ride was stunning. The horses wow, it looks ..... ethereal. Also I love nature, I'd love to hike in the Sonoran Preserve.

[@HereBeBarr]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@r2Facts]

I live in North Scottsdale Az with my in-laws living in Paradise Valley! Your video was spot on! Kudos to you! I retired training NBA players as well as working for FOX NBC Tv you did very well ! All the best

I been living in Scottsdale for 3 years,and i am thinking to go back someday to AZ ❤

[@brendabetts9798]

I am SOOOOO happy you came to my beautiful state!!!! AZ needs more attention because there is so much beauty to see taste and experience. I will be in NY in Sept and it will be my first time. I’ve been binge watching your NY videos to make sure I make the most of it. Cheers from the desert 🏜 🥂

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks so much!

HEY John & Team Adriana, it's good to see you out here on the west side! What are the chances you'll ditch the city life for a slower paced, more rural lifestyle in a dryer climate like AZ or southern Nevada?

[@HereBeBarr]

Not any time soon 🤣 maybe a second home some day

[@iamtabitha]

Downtown Phoenix next! Hope you had a great time!

My favorite place in Scottsdale to visit is Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West. The twilight tour is my favorite.

Aside from traveling, how's Scottsdale in terms of living there? Say, compared to San Antonio, Texas or someplace else in Florida ? I ask because I live in Toronto, Canada and want to move to a warm/hot climate.

Hello, resident out of New Jersey here. I would like to know if there are any New York attractions that have roof top views of Time Square. I already watched your video on the Observation Decks you made a year ago, and I already plan on going to The Edge soon, but I would like to know if there are any areas around time square that give it a rooftop view. I've always been into Futuristic/Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk aesthetics and Time Square fits into that well. It's my favorite attraction in New York, I've already been there multiple times, but the experience would be even better if I could get a rooftop sight of it. I've already seen videos of people going onto rooftops of buildings in Time Square which, I'd love to do but I don't even know if that's allowed in the first place. If there is anywhere there that I could get that done, it would be amazing :)

As a Phoenician, if you only go to scottsdale you're missing 95% of what makes arizona great. Scottsdale is pretty corporate and soulless unless you take the time to find the hidden spots. Plenty to do elsewhere as well.

[@ingrid8994]

Truth. I stayed at the Phoenician did the city tour stopping at the Heard Museum and day trips to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. Love Arizona 🏜 🌵
