⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : 4th Ave, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn from Bay Ridge Ave to Verrazzano Bridge

A walk along 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn from Bay Ridge Avenue to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
From Wikipedia:
"Bay Ridge is a residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is bounded by Sunset Park on the north, Dyker Heights on the east, the Narrows and the Belt Parkway on the west, and Fort Hamilton Army Base and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge on the south. The section of Bay Ridge south of 86th Street is sometimes considered part of a sub-neighborhood called Fort Hamilton.
Bay Ridge was formerly the westernmost portion of the town of New Utrecht, comprising two smaller villages: Yellow Hook to the north and Fort Hamilton to the south. Yellow Hook was renamed Bay Ridge in 1853 to avoid negative connotations with yellow fever at the time. Bay Ridge became developed as a rural summer resort during the mid-19th century. The arrival of the New York City Subway's Fourth Avenue Line (present-day R train) in the early 20th century led to its development as a residential neighborhood.
Bay Ridge is part of Brooklyn Community District 10 and its primary ZIP Codes are 11209 and 11220. It is patrolled by the 68th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. Politically it is represented by the New York City Council's 43rd District."

I was stationed at FT Hamilton as a DoD / Federal Employee five years ago. My first time living and working in NYC. It was a great tour/assignment. I worked for the US Army for three years there. I met and worked with a lot of great folks there on FT Hamilton. Bay Ridge, was a very safe and well maintained middle class community. Thanks for the fond memories.

[@TheBob3759]

What kind of work did you do for DOD?.

[@arthursmith1560]

I worked for the Garrison in Operations.

[@CharlieColeslaw]

I lived off 85th and 5th in Bay Ridge, moved to Oregon right before the pandemic. Watching this gives me great memories, also trips me out how things have changed so quickly.

[@malikmcclain7869]

ActionKid, Thanks for the walk in this area of Brooklyn. Ending it at massive Verrazano Narrows bridge was a breathtaking view. I hope that many enjoy your walks and commentary as I do.

[@leandracb]

I grew up in Bay Ridge on 68th between 4th and 5th, so this is probably one of my favorite/the most nostaglic of your videos that I've seen. Thanks for these 😊

[@theoakmontsage1172]

Dad grew up on Gatling Place above 90th. Visiting Grandma and Grandpa we slept in the back room with the lights of the Verrazano through the window. Coolest nightlight ever.

[@TheBob3759]

Great tour. I lived in Bay Ridge from 1963 until 1972. I lived on 69th Street and Ridge Blvd. I want to move back from NJ to spend my senior years there.

[@Gamerzde]

Relaxing in bed due to the coronavirus rules in Germany. No social contact exept mailing or else. Social distancing too. And suddenly the bell rings. "BING!" A new video from Actionkid. What a pleasure! Stay safe and healty. :-)

[@LoiLoScope]

Hopefully Kenneth will not be affected by this strange "runny nose" himself. I would very much regret it, unless he puts it easily and becomes immune. BTW: . *_Reime auf das, was sich nicht reimt:_* kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3ecYoV4a9arhK8 Mit freundlichen Grüßen .

[@pattyatrumdycreations134]

One thing I took away from this video was how much we took everything for granted. Maybe that's the message that is being delivered. I enjoyed this calming walk so much. I had to stop watching your live streams because so many people were saying such nasty things. The videos had stopped being entertaining they had become stressful, for me anyway. This video was like the ones when I first started following you. Thank you for showing this at a time when we need to see some normalcy. 😘😘😘

[@pattyatrumdycreations134]

@Morgue I'm not going to repeat what was said but trolls were basically starting to take over the live chat. It was getting harder and harder to control.

[@pattyatrumdycreations134]

@Morgue I know. It's sad when something so fun gets bullied. Ak is a great guy. He says his job is spreading positivity and that's what he was trying hard to do.

[@gossipboynyc2434]

Verrazano bridge is so underrated, Verrazano was an Italian explorer from Florence (Worked for France) that was one of the first to sight New York Harbor and the Narragansett Bays. So NY was very originally Italian and French, Dutch discovered. It used to be called New Amsterdam. And York was named after the British.

[@TheBob3759]

You know your history.

[@howardalbrecht9523]

As part of our chain of ladies specialty stores, we had a store on 86th street in Bay Ridge. Watched them build the Verrazzano bridge. between Brooklyn and Staten Island. It contained 370.000 tons of cement and it was the most cement the mobsters from New Jersey had ever seen ABOVE the water.

[@V.T.1989]

Thank you Action for walking through these real NYC neighborhoods. Love Bay Ridge.

[@jurgenrathjen5965]

A very very pleasant video!! Beautiful ending. The neighborhoods you went through are older, but well kept, with surprisingly virtually no graffiti. The bridge was being built while I was in High school. I was always fascinated with the fact that it is so long, the engineers had to account for the curvager of the earth.

[@jchristopher1762]

Thank you for this video. Spent 5 yrs living on Shore Road in Bay Ridge. Some of the best days in my life.

[@judithhinton5784]

I have been watching your old videos to think back to when things were normal. I enjoyed this view of Bay Ridge. Thanks for posting, AK!

I walk around here pretty much everyday but haven't been able to go out since the COVID 19 situation. feels good to see it again!

When walking the street feels special... let’s hope we will be back there soon. Everyone around the globe, stay safe and heatlhy.

Excellent video! Thank You for sharing. Quality is super and audio. ❤👏👏

[@stefmonroy7509]

I used to work by 95 street. Had a view of the Verrazano when I came out of my job. Such a nice neighborhood just to walk through. Especially in the summer or spring, I loved walking through there.

Brooklyn was called "The City Of Churches." There used to be sign on the expressway stating: You are entering the 4th largest city and another that said, you are entering the city of churches....back in the 60s.

The Pizza Uno you passed by was a White Castle. It was in the movie Saturday Night Fever.

Yes. Use to get their little burgers (sliders) in the 60's. Great scene in the movie.

[@widjoh]

Such a great video... I've already watched some of your other videos, from Harlem and also one covering Brithgton beach and Coney Island... Thouhgh this one I apprecieated the most, because it was showing the area where I and a good friiend were statying for a week, back in 2016. Staying with a some wonderful hosts in an AirBnb apartatment in Bay Ridges, while having a nice travel/vacation to NYC, also visiting some family members in Bay Ridge. I also remember I did almost the same walk as you did, wathcing this amazing bridge, and also watched all those squirrels running around in the park.. We were around NYC a lot... and I will look after some more of your videos as well... Thank you again for sharing these kind of videos... I do also follow other videobloggers like from Moscow, which is one of my favourite cities, where I have spent a lot of time during the last feew years as a tourist...and looking after good friends. I wish you good look with your channel... and I will defintly follow you!

[@Musicradio77Network]

Wow! This is the same place we walked on while I was on my visit to see my mother. I was there back in December 2019. A few months ago, we went to that restaurant called Postiano (37:30) and my aunts and the rest of my family are there when we had my mom’s birthday party. There’s 101st St. (37:48) and that’s where I was walking with a dog. And I was there at John Paul Jones Park (38:29) where I was walking around with a dog where he/she took a pee and poop, and then towards the end, That’s where I used to walk.

[@jeffreysalter3650]

This is a very critical situation. It will pass. Hopefully it will teach us something. Tolerance and justice and kindness should be what we are reflecting upon now that we have the time. We can better ourselves during this time and perhaps there's something positive we can take away. The losses already and those yet to come are the price we pay. It's not about the economy it's about humanity.
