Tour of Inwood & Manhattan's Northernmost Neighborhood

[@fiord9026]

Greetings from Glasgow, Scotland. Famous Inwood son? Paul Stanley of KISS, born and lived his formative years on W211 St , Inwood before moving to Queens.Sick KISS plug…

[@coneil72]

As an Inwood resident -- excellent video. Good history and sociopolitical context.

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

Whenever I have a friend visiting NYC and they ask for a place to visit that is "off the beaten path" I send them to Inwood Hill Park and The Cloisters. Bonus: If you visit The Cloisters your pass will also get you into The MET. I think the pass is good for more than one day too, so you can visit the Met the day before or after if you don't want to do 2 museums in 1 day.

[@conniedelio]

Exceptional work as always, Tom. Many thanks!

[@donaldobrien9171]

the cloisters has the famous unicorn tapestry

[@samanthab1923]

That’s right!

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

It is a thoroughly wonderful place. One of my favorites on the east coast.

[@thiscorrosion900]

That modular apt. building looks rickety. "Mom..I moved up to Inwood, and I'm living in a converted shipping container! And the rent is still $2000 a month"

[@GandleTheGreat]

That Broadway divider is very real. Always has existed. Kind of wild the difference. Grew up there and only knew maybe two people above Broadway. They are their own community.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Many places have this, sadly.

[@bethlampron2925]

Great informative video with humor 😊 !

[@LSK1]

Missed opportunity for B footage : there is an intersection of Cummings and seaman ave in inwood ...

[@johnscanlan9335]

I lived up in Inwood for 5 years when I was first out of college, on Park Terrace East. It's definitely a cool little neighborhood.

[@donnayuszkiewicz4538]

Great video. I know you couldn’t cover everything. I wish you would’ve covered the Irish history of the neighborhood.

[@nicoleoshea-holohan2743]

I felt the same way

[@georgepapadimas3523]

Thanks , Tom !! Informative video. FYI : you mentioned the Broadway divide in income. A great book that touches upon it is by Professor Robert W. Synder : Crossing Broadway: Washington Heights and the Promise of New York City. Also, a follow up on the Seaman Arch : there is a corner in Inwood called Seaman Ave and Cummings St. Can't make this sh*t up !!!

[@laryygary8848]

PLS do a video over Forest Hills

[@judeblake2534]

I love the shorter hair! Now we can see your handsome face better. ❤️

[@Evenstar213]

@10:00 Washington square park's "arc de Triomphe" : Am I a joke to you?

[@anca3028]

You forgot about 207 yd. It was a cemetery as well

[@vincentgoupil180]

Similiar to Corlears Hook Park, birthplace of the hooker, was Tubby Hook, Inwood, near Seaman Ave and Cummings, Dykeman (yeah, an oxymoron), o.k. Dyckman, Streets a place for longshoremen earning some coin ?

[@1carlportl]

saw this one / liked it

[@Tokubrother]

Manhattans northernmost neighborhood is Marble Hill.

[@BikesNThings]

I grew up on 181st. Basically in the shadow of the cloisters. To this day, I still believe the cloisters, and fort tryon park together are the best piece of property on the island. You can debate me on this, but you will be proven wrong. Love the video, but I would have rather seen the cloisters in the Washington heights video 😏

[@Alex-fx5es]

Yeah, isn't Fort Tryon Park (and therefore Cloisters) part of Washington Heights? I never lived up there, but I've been there and I always thought Dyckman Street was the border. Fort Tryon is a great park, as is Inwood Hill Park.

[@jessedylan6162]

Yes, Dyckman St is the border between Wash Hts and Inwood..@@Alex-fx5es

[@DannyBoy-wq9ze]

Hi Tom need to redo a new reload of "HARLEM" aka Black Mecca again. This time a one hour time of all Harlem history from east Harlem, central Harlem and west Harlem (Morning heights and Hamilton heights areas too !) from 96th to 155th streets. 🌅🙂👋🇺🇲🗽💵❤️🚇🚍🚖🏢🚪🔑💯👍🌃

Cool video but the incessant mention of liberal ideas on neighborhoods wasn't really required, an unbias take could've worked.

[@gregoryambres1897]

You're back, buddy! We missed you! Your videos mean so much to us! Being able to tour the New York metropolitan area and learn from your wealth of historical knowledge, all from the cozy comfort of our own home, is PRICELESS. It's like BEING there. Wonderful videos. Your Latinamerican videos are amazing, as well. Thank you so much, Tomás. 🏆

[@huntcc]

You missed the Irish in the 50s-60s and 70s. Also all the bars. That is what Inwood was known for.

[@tomburke1687]

Interesting and entertaining Tom----I like history. But Please-------It is time for a shave and haircut as you would look better.

[@alarikaguilar7543]

Please do a video on The Cloisters!

[@colegreen1291]

Sorry buddy, Inwood begins at Dykeman so the Cloisters is in Washington Heights.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Excellent. Very well done. I vote yes for a video on the Cloisters. Thanks!

[@sfellows68]

I'd love to see a video on the Cloisters.

[@Islandguy223]

You left out that Inwood was predominantly Irish in 1940’s-1980’s! That’s what this neighborhood is most known for!

[@barbarawillis4275]

Thanks for the tour of Inwood.

[@garishanth]

I always look forward to Tom's NYC 'Walking Tour' videos! 🐐

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

It is always sad to see graffiti. It makes it look like a slum.

[@jususceasar]

Great tour again, thank you very much! But I miss a little bit the scenes/shots of you actually walking around, to be able to get some more impressions and a feeling for the surroundings, the people, the shops, the restaurant and the daily life in general of the neighborhoods you are exploring.

[@annchambers5739]

Wo d wonderful, great, fantastic, amazing, educational, supurb,, the best video

[@undefined40]

167°C ?! You would be dead. Water boils at 100°C under normal air pressure.

[@ksmith1728]

So happy Phil is back !

[@TrainsFerriesFeet]

The Cloisters! I have a painting of the Cloisters, done by my grandfather in the late 30s or 40s.

[@andrewfischer8564]

i miss the 80's i was building a school. watched stolen cars being striped in broad day light. the cops would befriend the dismantlers. the coacaine sales. one sat i cant believe i wasnt there. they found 3 million cash under a stripped car. good times

[@dissidentfairy4264]

It was a very interesting tour. I saw things I never knew existed and the ending by the water was exquisite:-) 🧚‍♀

[@alarikaguilar7543]

14:00… this Cloister’s segment is very cool.. right near Cabrini

[@alarikaguilar7543]

Wow… all this history!! Thought I was pretty up to date on my historical facts of Washington Heights.. Never knew!!

[@alarikaguilar7543]

9:18 this is so cool…. Never knew this!

[@ursulal.4207]

Sandwich was a Prince of Scotland

[@Daveinbangormaine]

Good morning Tom. Awesome video. I really hope you do a livestream sometime. You put a lot of amazing research into your content.

[@MrRezRising]

If you walked a few blocks south on Seaman Ave, you'd have seen Cummings Street. How'd ya like to live on the corner of Seaman and Cummings? Good video. Wish you had talked a bit about the cinema history here, it was pre-Hollywood and many silent films were shot here. They had a movie studio and everything. Btw, you walked right by the building where the original Van Helsig from _Dracula_ (1931) lived. Mwah ha haaaa. 🤘

[@andrasszerencses]

I'm just watching this wearing a sweater. I miss summer already! Don't teach children to drink from water bottles by picking it up from the street, lol. I've seen that arch, so weird they just put those shops front of it

[@ursulal.4207]

Ty Tom, what whats about the wheather

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Readimg some of these maybe you should do an alert: this is a joke. Give it a rest people and appreciate his great sense of humor.

[@AllTheUrbanLegends]

16:25 - This isn't true. Inwood in the 1970 census was 91% white and 7 % black. It was also 95% renter. From 1970-1980 the Hispanic population went from 2% to 50.4% squeezing out both white and black residents. People in apartments move - often. In NYC it's every 3.5 years on average. When new groups come in the old groups have to make room for them. How else would it work?

I really enjoy your vids but you left out Linden Terrace in Fort Tryon Park. Linden Terrace is a big favorite for peeps to sit and watch the sunset, do tai chi, sit and take in the view of the Hudson river from a high elevation and also has Linden Arch which is pretty cool. Thanks for all your vids!!

[@johnmcgrath6192]

lol, it's not Manhattan County's northern most nabe. Marble Hill acrooss the Harlem River is. That Nabe is on the mainland like the Bronx that surrounds it. But it is part of Manhattan County and borough.

[@divasamai2251]

Great video!

Is Cock Hill, near the corners of Seaman Ave. & Dyckman or, Cummings St., one big pile of schist rock ? ... figures yea, potty humor like the chair in 6:11 11:05 Tom glancing to his left then right: " ... what do you think Phil should we keep it moving?" Phil: "Yea, let's get out (of here before we die).

[@ademardechabannes]

I lived in the basement of the building at 212/10th ave for 2 years. All the things… the building had never been inspected, the plumbing started to collapse (from above) 2nd week, and it was just another day to open the door and find the janitor on the ground face down, surrounded by police… that being said, some great people I had the pleasure to meet!

[@andreamerino9146]

The plumbing started to collapse after 2 weeks and you stayed for two years? What kind of an idiot are you?

The Cloisters are cool. Game of Thrones on Hudson! It's a medieval building that has been moved from France and reassembled like, stone by stone.

[@leeedgar70]

Not good. Didn't show apartment buildings in front of the El subway. 207th street. 204th street Nagle ave. Sherman Ave. Vermilia Ave. Showed only upper class housing. Not the real down and dirty city life I grew up in.

[@chrisromanous8924]

Another good walking tour video, thanks Tom but see if you can do more dark side video tours bc those were dope also! Maybe even do some walking at night time and show NYC how it transitions from crazy during day time into insanity at night time LOL

[@JoeyCalisthenics]

great video
