Walking NYC : Greenpoint Avenue in Long Island City & Sunnyside, Queens (October 9, 2021)

I walk through the entirety of Greenpoint Avenue in Long Island City & Sunnyside, Queens. This street changes drastically throughout its length, starting off as an industrial area and then slowly transitioning into a neighborhood filled with restaurants and shops. I also encounter a street fair that I didn't expect to run into!

Im watching this from the UK just to briefly feel closer to a girl I was with for a while who lived on 43rd Street. It would never work with the trans Atlantic distance but I have fond memories of her and lovely queens. Great video, cheers mate

[@Michael74210]

The walk brings back sunnyside memories

[@madelinemercado6850]

Thank you !! Our friend just moved to 44th St. From Pennsylvania , we miss him here at the hospital, it was nice to see the area!!! thanks you’re so sweet!!! you keep us updated❤️👍🏼👍🏼

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome!

[@belfiore_18]

It’s always been a great neighborhood! I was raised in Sunnyside. Many fond memories! It’s still a great place to live and so accessible to the city!

[@belfiore_18]

@@ActionKid Thank you so much for your video! This is my old hood and my cousin still lives in my childhood apt. SunnySide begins at 38th Street.

[@mraza9]

Man Queens is diverse. It’s like a proportionate balance of white, black, Hispanic, East Asian, south Asian, Arab. Love seeing the ladies in their traditional dresses. Amazing.

[@ActionKid]

Yes, most diverse borough in NYC!

[@user-dg9ls1xt4h]

Thank you. I lived on Greenpoint Ave. I haven’t been back in over 10 years.

[@Agave89]

Resided in this area in the 60's - 80's. Noticed couple of businesses were still there. Wow ...

[@kellys6788]

Wow!!! I grew up in Queens. My grandparents were from Sunnyside and Maspeth. The old neighborhood looks a lot different now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Haven't been there since 1982.

[@ActionKid]

Oh wow!

[@maryreed2619]

Hiya AK! I came back here to respond to a guestion that someone asked me under my comment this morning and the comment is gone? Smh! Lol.. I really enjoyed this walk. Much of my family is buried in Calvary Cemetery. There's 4 sections in there AK.. My family moved out to Sunnyside way back in the 1960's from Hell's Kitchen. It was a great neighborhood. There's been alot of changes through the decades, but I still love it out there as I do Astoria, where I grew up. Anyone who knows me, knows I ❤ New York!! Great work AK.. Hello to Mathew Hall! 👋🏻😊 Incorrect wording. Instead of saying it was, I should have said it is a great neighborhood. Although, I've seen alot of changes through the decades. But my ❤ is always there. Great memories...😊

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for sharing your experience with this part of Queens. So much of your family is here!

[@DuchessandHammer]

Can’t wait until restrictions finish would love to tour around Queens! Looks awesome! Much love from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

You would love it.Go to Woodside,you'll find alot of Irish pubs.You'll feel at home.Peace.

Always look firward to your videos....I am in Trinidad n Tobago never been to the USA but I hv family n friends in different parts of NY( Queens n Brooklyn) mainly so I am glad to get a tour....thank you !

This felt good. You kept me company while eating. Sorry for this, but i take you everywhere as you take me everywhere ahaha. This was wonderful, espcially with the fair find!

[@ActionKid]

Any time! The fair was such an awesome encounter.

[@HengMiao]

It's interesting to see the industrial and residential parts of the neighborhood. 16:50 There's a cute little dog next to the fence! 😍 It's cool how you unexpectedly ended up at the street fair. Thank you for sharing different the neighborhoods, AK!! 😃👍

[@donaldvisconti5483]

As previously stated, I lived in Sunnyside to age 11 1/2. I liked the 43rd Street Park!

[@dingowalk3592]

nice walk tour, thanks for sharing

[@diannemarshall4078]

Pantry Bay is an Awesome Irish resturant great food winderful owners. Half my family is buried there. I live in Greenpoint and Pantry is the closest Irish pub take the 48 bus from Greenpoint and Mahatran ave your there in 10 min. Time.

[@davidwahrheit6143]

I think you mean BANTRY Bay. And the B48 bus ends on Meeker, quite a walk from Bantry Bay. In Greenpoint, it would be far easier to walk down to the corner of Manhattan & Greenpoint Aves and take the B24, which stops almost across the street from Bantry Bay Publick House.

[@milanomecca4002]

My friend yesterday I was just watching calvary cemetery and surroundings in Google map. Today your video on the same place. Wonderful

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

I, know this area, since I was a Kid !!!!

Great Review man! Straight to the point!😚

[@4kwalkplus330]

[@jarihult]

Looks quite industrial neighborhood with all those auto repair shops etc …. Even so , so long road to walk , but in a way quite interseting video itself so 👍 Thank you for sharing the places that quite many of people usually don’t visit , thank you A K !!!

[@vitomcsween974]

You want to see a real queens industrial neighborhood in queens go to Willits Point

[@ActionKid]

You are right! There aren't too many who would willingly visit here 😂

[@johnperry4572]

There is a bus route along Greenpoint Ave...its a nice ride...when I was a kid the route # was B24/29....don't know what it is now

[@davidwahrheit6143]

C est interessant de voir cet aspect de la vie a NY. J aime voir ces gens de diverses origines avec leurs habits traditionnels ,puis les restaurants et les magasins specifiques pour tous ces gens.

The purpose of outdoor seating areas are for free circulation of air to lessen the chance of Covid, spread. The restaurant you showed, their outdoor area looked very enclosed, unless I viewed it the wrong way.

[@Neville60001]

23:27-This restaurant's name reminds me of the saying of the character J. Wellington Wimpy from the _Popeye_ comic strip (and cartoons): 'I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.'

[@TheThingsBuy]

I used to live there I Miss it for some reason I don't know

[@Linda-rs6lf]

Great video, as always! We’re you just a bit nervous when the man holding something was walking toward you? I was a bit nervous for you, to be honest. People are 99.99% nice. I just had an odd feeling about that.
