Walking NYC : 5th Avenue, Central Park, Rockefeller Center & St. Patrick's Cathedral (July 2021)

I walk on 5th Avenue between 40th Street to 59th Street, where I enter Central Park and walk to the Gapstow Bridge. This stretch of 5th Avenue is famous for its many retail stores, Rockefeller Center, & St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Correction : At 4:42 Grand Central Terminal was designed by Warren & Wetmore / Reed & Stem, not McKim, Meade, & White.

Really nice video, AK! Love the commentary about certain historical buildings, nice touch. Feels like an immersive experience, like always.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for watching! There's so much to do and see along 5th Avenue.

[@pattigeiskopf3138]

Love the Church's and the old buildings and always wanted to see you walk by the Trump Tower thank you AK!! Love all your walks, stay safe and travel safe on your walks.. 🐼

[@neeljavia2965]

Empire State building was completed during the height of great depression. No wonder it remained empty for years plus the tallest building in the world especially after WW2 destroyed half the world. Similar to how Burj Khalifa will hold on to it's title now for decades to come with countries like China banning skyscrapers beyond a certain height and middle East slowing down in aimless construction.

[@itsstillmekenia]

🤩this reminds me why I fell in love more with your channel thanks AK🤗 ..I love my wonderful city New York forever🥰💯you know I smashed that like button too😉🐼💖💫

[@ActionKid]

[@Linda-jn7mx]

Another great walk!! And...Grand Central Terminal was built by Cornelius Vanderbilt in 1871. Lots of Vanderbilt history in NYC! Back to the walk...💃🏻😅

[@ActionKid]

Cornelius Vanderbilt the railroad tycoon! I also made an error. Grand Central Terminal was designed by Warren & Wetmore / Reed & Stem not McKim, Meade, and White.

[@Linda-jn7mx]

No problem! You are doing a great job with the history. The Centrsl Park pond at 59th is where the famous colorful Mandarin Duck swam around in @ 2019!😊 He had his own Twitter account!!😅

[@emmy8083]

Great video. Love your commentary of the buildings and shops, especially Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral and the churches. Beautiful clock.

[@vicentiualecsandrescu]

AK narrator walking 👍

[@michaeloatley1045]

Hi AK love your channel, thankyou for you're efforts.

[@ActionKid]

Really appreciate it!

[@IamMaria_O]

The 4, 5 & 6 stop on East 59th and Lexington and short walk to fifth Avenue. Also the 6 to East 56th street another convenient way to get to Fifth Avenue. Closer to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. Thanks for this NYC stroll. I miss midtown.

[@ActionKid]

Great tip! The Subway stations along the 6th Avenue lines are closer, but 5th Avenue is not too far from the Lexington Avenue line too. The 6 train station has exits at 50th, 51st, 52nd, and 53rd Streets.

[@hkitm]

I thought Wall Street is the most famous street in NYC.

[@ActionKid]

Wall Street is up there too.

[@D.N..]

Beautiful morning for a nice walk! 🍒🌷

[@george8873]

Interesting fact about the Empire State Building. A B-25 bomber crashed into the building between the 78th and 80th floors in July 1945 due to heavy fog without damaging the integrity of the building. It did cause $1,000,000 in damage and deaths of 14 people (3 on the plane, 11 on the ground). Despite the damage from the impact and resulting fire, most of the building was open again 48 hours later.

[@ActionKid]

Yes, the plane crash of the Empire State Building is something many don’t know about.

[@george8873]

@@ActionKid Only reason I know about it was because I seen it on a documentary on the History Channel years ago, when History Channel was still about history, lol.

[@veramendez6099]

Nice walking! CC please!!!🧡

[@James-bi9uy]

Love the narration. This is why I love New York, the architecture. ESB, 30 Rock and the Chrysler buildings are three of the most gorgeous buildings ever made, IMO. And St. Patrick Cathedral? Just stunning.

[@tez1111]

Really love your videos! We visited NY for the first time in Dec 2019 and we watched many of your videos. They helped us so much in preparation for our stay. Hoping to visit again as soon as we are able to. Please stay safe and please keep posting your fantastic videos! :)

[@RogelioGdeP]

Hi ActionKid, superb video and your comments on your 5th Avenue, Central Park, and St. Patrick's Cathedral walk; I am enjoying every minute of your video as it's been a while since I last visited NYC. Keep the good work. Rogelio

[@dianebaker5243]

Loved your commentary on this walk so calm and clear to hear you. Thanks for sharing. 👍🥰

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome

[@davidellis5141]

At 30:21 - The Action Kid 🚶‍♂️by Trump Tower. All is calm , for now. 🕵️‍♂️

[@nildalopez1486]

Bravo AK❤️💕🙌🏻

[@peggybuetow1026]

Could you do a walk by Jackie Kennedy’s former apt. 1040 fifth ave? Pleeeeze?

[@kei2142]

Lyft and Uber have raised prices but not raised driver's pay. Your question as to why they got expensive is that your Uber rides are previously subsidized by VC funding and now they need to be profitable or at least stop the bleeding the pricing now reflects the true cost of Uber. I would say people who are into these apps ought to get used to it, or like you said, walk.

[@donnastedham9822]

I really enjoyed the informational walk. It was nice to know what I was looking at. It is amazing how quiet it was in Central Park just a short distance from traffic. Thank you.

[@masterclasslady]

Absolutely exquisite video. Thank you. I am a dedicated fam.

[@nancypettitt1211]

Thanks for the walk! As always great to see and learn about NY. I love the churches too. The stain glass is incredible. Thanks for showing casing that. Take care.

[@Лунныйцветок-н1я]

Hello AK. Thank you for this cool and interesting walking🙂 👍🗽💖

[@andreiafilipapaulo5907]

"Don't need the turtles" ? That's so sad :( :( Animals are not things. Great video AK :)

[@_bob_8170]

Good day mate, I been wondering during you're walking tours do you use a step counter? If not I would really like that you would start to use one. Be neat to see you're miles walked per week.

[@ActionKid]

My iPhone logs my steps in the Health app. I don’t normally look at it.

[@almeggs3247]

Thanks finally got to see inside of St Patrick’s! Awesome!

[@ЕвгенийДимитров-э8й]

Wow!it was a great walk as always!

[@brucesavage9929]

Hello, NewYork!!!! So good to see you up and moving again!!

[@wakey1086]

I see your finally adding history comments on locations which makes your videos more interesting. Instead of just simply talking about name brand restaurants n boutique stores n city noise etc which I found boring. U have learnt something from Tom Delgado a NYC tour guide n history buff which makes his tours n KZbin video's very interesting n informative.

[@michaelchin3550]

You can only please some of the people some of the times. Thank goodness you have videos from the likes of a Tom Delgado for you to view. 270 subs tells me many do not find AK's videos "boring". LOL.

[@ActionKid]

Everyone has their own style. I comment on history from time to time as well but it's not the main focus of my walks.

[@wakey1086]

Action Kid don't get me wrong I like that you start n end your video's at time with the subway. U give daily tours of the city which are great I'm from East Harlem 106st n Park those Carver projects now living in Toronto so it's good to see daily video's of back home you do. I wish when u ride up Madison Ave to 106 street u turn right going to Park Ave so I can see the Carver projects I grew up in. Otherwise u do a great job on your scooter n car during the day but at night on a scooter can be dangerous touring I was worried for your safety.

[@wakey1086]

@@ActionKid ok I was just pointing out there could be some improvement not not be so critical of your tours. I like your start n finish on the subway it's original which I like a lot. I'm from East Harlem not living in Toronto so it's good to see video's of home. Thou I wish 1 day u drive by 106 street Madison n Park i grew up at the Carver Projects there u have come close on Madison Ave but have driven straight past them. One thing I was worried with that nite time scooter ride from Manhattan to Queens your safety comes first maybe a car instead.

[@عليحسينالعلي-ع7ب]

New York is the most beautiful city ( Ali From IRAQ )

[@stevied9517]

Kenneth, I know you don't use a car but I wonder why there are few parking garages in Manhattan.

[@joburgess1060]

2 weeks ago we were here. X Great H & Ms store. Stayed near St Patrick’s Cathedral. We had a great time. X

[@owenmeyer1305]

Thank you, ActionKid. Very nice. (Hot day!)

[@bpetvshow]

Thanks AK it was a peaceful walk something I needed

[@anthonyd6370]

are u kidding there a 10th of the people u would see on the streets of manhattan not to mention the lack of traffic

[@almeggs3247]

AK you’ve been brushing up on your city? Haha

[@zackthenycenthusiast4275]

I was there in Midtown during that day! Nice video! :)

[@joburgess1060]

St Patrick’s Cathedral is amazing.

[@James-bi9uy]

27:42. I didn't know people still dress like that. Love it.

[@SamSitar]

in NYC where do i need to wear a mask? more stores should conveyor belts in that way. new towers should have to so thick or wide.

[@ActionKid]

It’s not mandated outdoors, but private establishments have their own rules.

[@yellowking226]

Thank you for these videos, late at night when I'm anxious / can't sleep they calm me down so much. Visited NYC once a few years back and brings back so many good memories. If you ever get the chance definitely visit the UK I think you'd love it.

Yes, it is!
