Walking NYC : Broadway from Harlem to Times Square (September 2021)

[@johnparrette8069]

Looked for 1495 Broadway where I studied Clarinet in the Leon Russianof studio from 1962-1965. Many happy memories of the City.

[@topliner9534]

Thank you so much for posting this. I grew up in New York and left after college, almost 50 years ago, having since moved to California. I was always afraid to walk thru Harlem because it was so unsafe at that time. I had never been to the Columbia campus - thank you for taking me thru there for the first time.

Eating Pizza, watching ActionKid, can't get any better.

[@elleutterio]

These are my favorite kinds of videos. I feel at peace just viewing them. Thanks, AK.

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@Faith_and_Hope_07]

Absolutely beautiful! You went through my neighborhood and the different places I used to work at. I currently live out of New York. Very well done. Thank you for explaining some areas but not talking a ton where it becomes so distracting. New subscriber here for sure. That was a long walk, and I did not even hear you stop for a bottle of water. Wow!

[@ana-ei1kz]

This is now my go to video when I’m having trouble sleeping. I suffer from insomnia. Your voice is very soothing and helps me focus on what you’re saying rather that focusing on my stressors. Thank you very much for these videos. Not only are they super informative but they are super relaxing. I love Manhattan and I feel like I’m walking with you. ♥️ BTW: you must be in very good shape. Walking these great distances is great for your overall health. Clearly you must have really good walking shoes :)) ♥️

[@emileneslo5695]

You sir put a big smile on my face from 63th street to the end of the video. I stayed at the Empire Hotel for a long week witch is at 63th street with my son in 2019. First time ever visited bucket list worthy NYC. I also enjoyed seeing everything I didn't get the chance seeing from beginning of your walk up to 63th street. Greetings all the way from Suriname.

[@Andy224]

Great job! I normally visit NYC on business a few times each quarter, and between appointments I wander about with my camera. I've only been to the city twice since the pandemic started, though, Your videos are just like being there.

@ActionKid Do you mind if I post some pictures of the buildings in this video? I would like to save them.

[@bani_niba]

The first building that you thought was Barnard college is actually the Union Theological Seminary.

[@rosejoseph3503]

I am studying in city college of newyork and lives in an apartment near by . Great to see this 💕

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

NYC is so beautiful!

[@andreasbobzin2687]

1:16:50 Here you get between 15 and 25 Euro cents per can / bottle when returning them back to the supermarket in those machines.

[@jamesfield1674]

Hi long time no viewing, love the quality of these now great commentary too, would really love to visit The Big Apple but Covid permitting maybe a long time...

[@THEREALDEAL-pu8dx]

Looking forward to finally moving out of this city.

[@carmensmith1453]

Yes ny it's expansive and if the job not secure I like it but I don't want a live homeless

[@monicar6991]

[@roxannerichards7837]

Do y'all know anything about the School of visual arts in Manhattan ,,and is it a nice area ? 🙋‍♀️💕🐦 Watching from Tennessee 🐦

[@nihilizt]

Love the cat! 🐈‍⬛

[@sherrispaulding3484]

It’s said to see so many out of business! ALDO on Broadway closed! I miss NYC

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

love the videos you do.

[@b.griffin317]

AK: You should do a video of the Riverside Drive Viaduct. People will like that one.

[@ComoxTerry]

I am wondering why there is so much scaffolding along and over many of the sidewalks. Certainly doesn't add to the ambience. I do enjoy these videos .... easy on the feet, too.

[@Faith_and_Hope_07]

I was wondering that as well. I was telling my daughter that these buildings are so old and probably need constant maintenance now. At least we still have them because we no longer see that kind of architecture.

[@Neville60001]

From what I've seen, the previous avenue AK was walking on _could_ support light rail going down it.

[@joshraheim_18]

Did you stop by Big L’s mural on 139 st and Lenox? Rip 1974-1999

[@ActionKid]

I didn't

[@عقيلالصريمي-خ6ط]

Nicework

[@fuheadlee4912]

That was Great again!!!

[@ashfaknasrullah]

Beautiful and thank you

[@johnperry4572]

1:16:10 Citarella is one of the best fish markets in NYC

[@Smooth1productions]

220 min pretty cool I need to get one

[@NYinSD]

@actionkid how did you pick that street corner as a staring point? i grew up on that street corner!.. so awesome

[@ActionKid]

It was just the street after the subway station

[@Faith_and_Hope_07]

Me too! 135th and Riverside! I was telling my daughter that when I was young my father would pick me up to see the #1 train disappear under the middle part of 135 and Broadway. LOL my niece still lives at 3333 Broadway. And OMG the C Town and El Mundo still there. Loved to see Lincoln Center again.

[@dpsaypisr5089]

that's how the city should look liiiike

[@richardknowles5818]

Great walk kid, thanks, but tell me why so many sections of sidewalk are covered with scaffolding and boards, when there didn't seem to be any building work above them?

[@northsidejosh8086]

I was wondering the same thing

[@paulwatson1507]

Me too.

[@aureliabrudasca7592]

Merci pour m avoir montre la vie dans cette merveilleuse ville.

The greatest City in the World, NYC

[@matthewconstantine5015]

I was in NYC this past weekend for the first time since 2019, mostly in the Theater District, but we also took a walk over to Roosevelt Island. I noticed a lot of big improvements since the last time I was there. I have said many times that Manhattan would be a marvelous, walkable city if it wasn't for all the traffic. Well, I noticed a lot of new road diets, bike lanes, no-car plazas, and general improvements to walking. Traffic was still pretty bad, but MUCH better than the last time I was there. I really loved it. Also, folks were really lovely. I've been to NYC several times and have generally had positive experiences with folks. But this time, I don't know, it was different. It's hard to explain, but folks were really lovely. The only real "negative" is the same negative you find almost everywhere in the US. Drivers. They're awful. I think the drivers in NYC might be some of the worst, not because their behavior is worse than drivers in say Houston. It's more because...seriously, what the hell are you doing driving a personal vehicle in one of the most walkable/public transit-rich places in the United States? The only answer I can think of is, "because you're a selfish asshole." That makes their bad driving behavior that much more upsetting to me. Anyway, thanks for the video. I hope it's not 3 more years before my next visit (actually, we're thinking about coming back in a couple months...but that's iffy). I love seeing all the improvements and I hope it keeps moving in good directions. Reclaiming the city for people instead of for car warehousing could help make it such a wonderful place to live.

[@yahatinda]

I DO NOT AGREE

[@carmensmith1453]

To the ones killed from the hurricane rest in peace so sad ...

[@4kwalkplus330]

Nice and clean city 🌹❤️

[@damianlara4759]

what is the building at 17:51

[@Grapefruit-Gal]

I've noticed New Yorkers dont wait for the walk sign, is that normal there?

[@SL-pg4dh]

yes we cross when we are able to

[@allws9683]

WEre there still limiting covid restrictions ? It is so quiet, for a late saturday afternoon in the big apple ! I'd say in my 200k town there are more people in the streets at that time...

[@harold3184]

Are the outdoor seating areas of the restaurants that cross the curb into the street legal and permitted by paying fees?

[@DelroyClassic876]

Great video men

[@altheajackson8299]

Hi AK, do you ever wanna give guided tours? You'll be amazing at that. Sooo knowledgeable. 😘

Good morning from Boston Mass

[@kathleena5687]

Tuck it away storage is gone. It was on Broadway and 132 Street. A lot of new buildings.

[@merry-lynnallison3002]

Can you please tell me what you are using to record with? Thanks.

[@barbarapettry6817]

At the title of his video to the right is a v-shape, hit it and a description of his vid, how to donate to him, and on down describes his stuff - camera, equip., etc. and where to buy. (I also read if you buy from where he says he gets a commission off the purchase, how 'bout that!!)🤓

[@vanrosauch5659]

At least the buildings are hurricane proof with the exception of flash floods. Rip to the famalies of lost loved ones. Usually basement housing is a vilolation due to happenings like this that can occur out of the blue.

[@falsenotefest]

Great, I had a walk in NYU Columbia from s o of France, thanks... HEY WAIT !!!!!!!! at 1:14:47 I am at home see:::::: "L'occitane"

[@LorenIpsum75]

Thank you AK🖐😀

[@octavianoanthony5123]

Please show us the chrysler tower bro,, i want to see what its like in reality..

[@b.griffin317]

It is amazing, especially at night, but it is on the east side of town, broadway (this video) was on the west side.
