Seth is a great commentator! Including him here and there would be really cool! he gives nice informed and enthusiastic input/analysis on what hes dealing with.

new subscriber here! Greetings from North Park in San Diego (where you need to come and check out the craft beer scene) !! You seriously make me want to move to New York!

[@arfcomcobra]

Hell's Kitchen, Ansonia and Planeterium were three great neighborhoods back in the day. DeWitt Clinton Park, I remember

[@krausse13]

Here Be Barr Thank you so much for all your NYC videos! They are helping me plan our trip in June! Greetings from San Diego🏝 Keep these vlogs coming!!!👍🙏 I❤️NYC!!!!

[@fritoguy]

Can you do a video on ways to visit the city if you’re staying in Brooklyn or NJ.

[@elfacisco]

Seth is cool, more videos with Seth.

[@daimonmarioperez9501]

In the village you would have Balducci's. I'm a New Yorker that's been living in the D.R. for the last 6yrs. Most of the places you've shown, I've visited one time or another. Now I'm getting a little homesick for my city .... Thanks for helping me to remember what makes New York, one of the greatest cities in the world...

[@Fabisgreat]

I love the upper west side its been my home for 20years

[@thomasschiller404]

Lived at 90th and Riverside from 1967-74. Incredible sledding from the Soldiers and Sailors Monument down into the Park.

[@pauldelgadillo1827]

The Dakota Building is also where actress Lauren Bacall lived.

Seth seems so genuinely nice 🥺 my heart 💗

[@david14Herbie]

This is great! As a Manhattan enthusiast, being a born and bred guy from here, I love this neighborhood!!!

[@jessuncharted]

Seth is so chill and knowledgeable! I Would've loved a professor like that in college! Great vid as usual!

[@accordingtoalondra]

Today is my last day in NYC! I will definitely stroll through this neighborhood! 😊

[@HereBeBarr]

:) Yeah, very very nice spot.

[@joelweiner4798]

go to Levain Bakery at 74th off Amsterdam and see my comment, above.

[@HereBeBarr]

This was actually on our list,but I decided to cut it due to time constraints. Should be on anyone's list though.

[@MM-cy1tc]

From a former New Yorker this is a fantastic video! You truly hit all the great spots! BRAVO

[@mjfoster8343]

I love it....this is where I'm moving too....love, love everything about the Upper West Side....great video..love the local guide. A true perspective from an actual person that lives and work there....one of your best videos along with the 10 reason to move to nyc....

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Took me a longg time to edit b.c there was so much info.

[@patchwork_pixie]

i appreciate how genuinely excited this guy is about his neighborhood. wholesome.

[@danilosotojr8]

Been a mailman in said neighborhood for over 20 yrs. You guys nailed it! Great job!!

[@AnaSantapau]

I love Riverside Park , I used to live right across from it. Thanks for the video . Went thru memory lane, now I’m living in Puerto Rico.

[@HereBeBarr]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kevinpongracz]

That was a really great guide, Seth did an amazing job too, really nice

[@davet1081AA]

Great vid! My favorite place is Lincoln Center on a summer night with people, lights, & fountain. Any NY visit, my last stop before LGA is Zabar's for babka, coffee, smoked fish & any other delights I can cram into my carry-on canvas shopping bag.

[@davemengle4961]

Love the UWS! All the best things about NYC in one place! And if you need a hotel recommendation, the Hotel Belleclaire on 77th and Broadway is a perfect location to base out of for your explorations! It's just 2 blocks from the 1 and 2 trains, a couple of good cafes are just around the corner and maybe best of all it's just a 30 meters from La Caridad!! BTW, we've also had some decent takeout from the Europan cafe next door too! Lincoln Centre and the Koch Theater are within walking distance for shows and you can walk the paths that parallel the 79th Street Traverse across Central Park in less then 20 minutes to access all the great shopping on Park Ave. Love your videos Jon...keep up the great work! :-)

[@westie430]

LOVE Hotel Belleclaire!!😍 Excellent comment👍

[@kaila62kaila]

I'm from NYC and I ❤ UWS!

[@FoodandFootprints]

One of my best friends from HS grew up here. Lots of great memories!

[@HereBeBarr]

It's warming up.. we got 2 videos to make together !

[@FoodandFootprints]

Here Be Barr Yes sir! Can’t wait!

[@elainebmack]

Whenever I visit NYC I stay at Hostelling International, 891 Amsterdam Ave, and I schedule at least one invasion of Zabars and Murray's Sturgeon Shop. I love the old school food places of NYC!

[@nilssmith-yt]

Love the Upper West Side! Great tour!

[@biancapana185]

John this is the video I’d been waiting for! I just got back from NYC today after studying up for my holiday with your videos. I stayed on the UWS mainly because I was chasing that You’ve Got Mail atmosphere and it was there at every corner. It is a wonderful part of Manhattan where one can easily end up feeling like a local - super close to a lot of things too and indeed the 1 train from 72nd is a godsend that takes you to all the important parts of the city. Thank you finally for recommending Sarge’s Deli - my favourite lunch I had in NYC! Keep up the good work! 😄

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Love the jacket Jon!

[@HereBeBarr]

Arigato Habibi !! Happy April Fools Day, it's really Alan.

Just moved to the neighborhood and had a blast after watching this video

[@HenJack-vl5cb]

Тhe video is absolute delight.Thank you both for the wonderful experience!

[@josifaleiro3943]

Absolutely loved this video! Amazing tips, especially about Juilliard tickets. I didn’t know that. I’m already planning to watch a couple concerts there in June.

[@HereBeBarr]

That makes two of us, I was just checking the calendar.

[@lordhumor6541]

I’m so happy you took the time to film this amazing & sweet neighborhood. I live in Yonkers & to get to the city I take the 1 Train, taking the 1 train so much to get to the city, I fell in love with the Upper West Side, it’s such a quiet neighborhood. It’s my favorite. Thank you so much for highlight hidden parts I never knew about, next time I go, which will be soon, I will take some pictures of these places. Please do the Bronx if you know any great spots. (That’s where I’m from )

[@garybevan1022]

Great video, we are coming over from the Uk in mid May & staying on the Upper West Side, so this was ideal. We will certainly go to Zabars....carry on the Awesome work👍

[@ICECHICK5]

Wow, I love Tiffany lamps!That's one more item to add to my list for my trip in May!

[@markjohnson3845]

This is the type of videos of New York that I like. Experiencing the locals' guide to the Upper West Side. Beautiful Family neighborhood, looking forward to my Labor Day Trip. Thanks

[@FoodandFootprints]

Seth nailed it - has changed a lot over the years. Watch Panic in Needle Park and Death Wish - crazy to see it then!

[@HereBeBarr]

Death wish ahahha

[@lisaquev]

i have lived in the uws all my life and still do, love it!!

[@GinaGraves68]

I am planning my very FIRST trip to New York. May 18th to May 24, 2020. I have been watching your videos and every time I watch one I get more & more excited about my trip. Thank you so much for all of the information you give. I can not wait to visit New York.

[@williamcrawford4529]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video with you & Seth. Please bring him back again!

[@albertmalkowski2904]

Lot of treasures there on the west side. Will check it out my next trip up. Tks Jon!

[@sethflute]

Great video, Jon! Thanks for featuring the Met Opera! I’m in the Met Orchestra and wanted to add that for many of the shows, tickets start around $30; we also offer same-day rush tickets online for even less.

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks for the info ! I've actually never went and need to go with Adriana for sure.

[@99999myk]

Even though I lived in Queens, I barely got to know the Upper West Side. Found a youth hostel on W. 101st St so I'm going to stay there once I move back to the east coast next month.

[@H0WIE]

you need to do another video with Seth, seems like a real cool and knowledgeable dude 👍

[@liubovmityukova1810]

Great video! Informative and to the point! 👍🏻

[@mitchellhughes5180]

That was really cool. I KNEW that was the Ghostbusters building! I was about to say it and he beat me to it. I’ve always been a fan of the Upper West Side. I visited a friend once who was studying at the Manhattan School of Music on 122nd St. That whole area all the way down to the 70s is awesome. I’d love to go back.

[@upendasana7857]

omg got to see the tiffany lamps

[@LaLa-fi8ip]

This was a interesting & informative look at the neighborhood. Loved Seth💜

[@joelweiner4798]

Gramercy Park area is one of my favorite neighborhoods, as well.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Rutgers in the house. Miss the city. It's been a while since we're back. Glad your professor who lived in the upper west side neighborhood of 30 years could show you around. Love the Opera and LOVE those tips. OMG those Tiffany lamps were stunning. There are quite a few Chinese infused restaurants around NYC. LOVE Riverside park. It's a great park that's not as congested as Central. Great video and very creative. Could you watch our latest video, as we'd love to hear your thoughts as well. Thanks Jon.

[@nasdaqua]

Thanks for this great video...As a NYC tour guide, i am familiar with everything spoken of in this video , but it was nice to get a perspective from a local denizen , as well. Jon, you're a natural behind the camera and i appreciate your great vlogs. As an aside, i 1,000% agree with you that Bleecker Street Pizza ( Nona and Grandma) slices are the BEST.

[@vanessasay4071]

Thanks so much for these videos, they are so helpful in planning our trip

[@lindaandcara]

Jon, this is a really great vid. Nice blend of history, tips, food, and local color. I hope you keep moving north exploring on the UWS. Your vlog is the best!! Thank you.

[@HereBeBarr]

You're welcome !

[@jmbjmb98]

La Caridad is my childhood restaurant. I love their food so much. If you go back, ask for there red beans, black beans, and yellow rice. It’s amazing.

[@TheMinor6]

I lived on 83rd & Columbus in the 90s.. still my favorite neighborhood..

Keep these neighborhood guides coming! I love visiting and spending time in different city neighborhoods. With you being from the Village, have you ever fanboyed at 555 Hudson Street? It was the home of Jane Jacobs, the famous activist and author of the seminal urban geography book The Death and Life of Great American Cities lived and wrote the said book. Being a student of urban geography I would fanboy at that address.

[@HereBeBarr]

No, i'll have to go check it out !

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

[@jayrizzle9226]

Ive never been to New York City, I have to scratch that one off my bucket list. My sister went with her bf and family and shes not very big on it because we're from a southern state and she didn't like how busy it was. Were NC, so we have some citys near us, but nothing like nyc obviously. Raleigh's been coming up and Charlotte is a pretty decent city. Most of my family likes semi country kinda quiet but not one of those dead towns with one gas station and a small grocery store but those areas are around too. Im pretty southern but i actually enjoy the city so it d really love to see nyc.

[@SailingXanadu]

LOVED the tour! omg that cheese place. 🙈

[@2075vj]

ZabarsbBoy do I miss them. Nothing like it.

[@NYCOPERAFAN]

The outdoor free screenings at the Met in August are about 10 days, not three weeks. He may be confusing this with the outdoor Lincoln Center performances for about 3 weeks in July that are mostly not classical music. There are also other ways of getting cheaper Met tickets mentioned elsewhere on their site.

[@Draytons]

Love this video!! TFS🤗
