⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : Carroll Gardens to IKEA, Red Hook, Brooklyn (October 7, 2019)

Google Maps Route: goo.gl/maps/jr4jnooYSCep81878
A walk in the neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens to IKEA in Red Hook, Brooklyn via Court Street.
From Wikipedia:
"Carroll Gardens is a neighborhood in the northwestern portion of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Taking up around 40 city blocks, it is bounded by Degraw and Warren Streets (north), Hoyt and Smith Streets (east), Ninth Street or the Gowanus Expressway (south), and Interstate 278, the Gowanus and Brooklyn-Queens Expressways (west). The neighborhoods that surround it are Cobble Hill to the northwest, Boerum Hill to the northeast, Gowanus to the east, Red Hook to the south and southwest, and the Columbia Street Waterfront District to the west.
Originally considered to be part of the area once known as South Brooklyn (or, more specifically, Red Hook), the neighborhood started to have its own identity in the 1960s. The new name came from Charles Carroll, who was the only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, and whose name was already attached to Carroll Street and Carroll Park. The name also reflects the large front gardens of brownstones in the Carroll Gardens Historic District and elsewhere in the neighborhood. Despite having an Irish surname, in recent times it has been known as an Italian American neighborhood.
The traditionally Italian-American area has recently been called "Little France" or "Little Paris" due to many French people who have taken up residence there over the past few years. A Catholic mass in French is said every Sunday at the St. Agnes Church in Carroll Gardens. This initiative of the diocese of Brooklyn occurred after the neighboring diocese, that of Manhattan, incurred the wrath of French worshipers in New York by deciding to close the French national parish of St. Vincent de Paul Church."

I'm walking there virtually today with ActionKid. I hope to walk there IRL one day...

[@tnsquatchwhisperer5852]

Same.

[@suziereinhardt2847]

I was just there staying over at 365 Bond on the Gowanus Canal with my son. He had surgery and I came to take care of him. I had to walk up 1st and over to Carroll St to make my way to Court St CVS for prescriptions. I just love you. You're good for my heart :) #Homesick #LoveBrooklyn Thank you!

[@D.N..]

A mini neighborhood of French heritage in Brooklyn? ! That is something one never hears of ! ☺️

[@D.N..]

@@JohnDoe-iu7gt Not familiar with Carroll Gardens, but Wikipedia does state that some french expats have moved in and established some french establishments .... Must be fake news !!!

[@5argetech56]

Now you are in my old neighborhood.. I used to live on Luquer st. There was no IKEA, LOWES, HOMEDEPOT, None of those store existed. I saw the Movie Goodfellas being filmed at Smith Street & 9th Street. How my old stomping grounds have changed. PS - I watched the entire video, and I loved it.. Thank you!

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome! Glad I could show you the old neighborhood!

[@jeahavvalentin980]

Another cool 😎 excellent NYC adventure video

[@zendavis3501]

Al Capone got married in Carroll Gardens. And it also got it's name from Carrol Park, plus the gardens in front of the brownstones which is unique hence... Carrol Gardens. I really appreciate your channel. Love watching your videos.

[@damingdaan264]

thanks for this NARRATED VIDEO,,

[@Pirrelli8]

Beautiful fall day. Got a lot of videos to catch up on. Thanks ACK,

[@mommettam278]

Impressive songbirds in the parks. You didn't seem to notice them, but they were tweeting louder than the traffic. They seem to like the parks closed. LOL

[@brunomf200]

I love your channel!!! I'll be back in NYC next February 😍

[@johnlamorges4432]

Another great walk-through!.....Your video is full of very interesting information.. Thanks Action Kid!

[@jpprolensproductions4526]

The founding fathers actually wanted to re reate Europe in NYC. Another great one AK.

[@walkerboh39]

Excellent walk - thank you ActionKid.

[@marcelomas997]

Congrats for vídeo! Amazing os Streets of América.... great Nice!!!

[@arjivar]

I have noticed that many of the characteristics of the streets of NYC, for example, the bicycle lanes, have been adopted in cities such as Bogotá, Colombia.

[@lovemonster7283]

GREAT You'r content is getting good. Thank you to show the real ambiance of those neighborhoods one can make a proper decision about either visiting, establishing business or planning residency. Keep yourself erudite! 👁️ 🌐

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Rose-ty9lg]

NYC is a colorful city and make the city excited, I love the light stone Houses and the brown Stone special in Brooklyn, the European migrants did built churches when they arrived a in the 18th hundreds all across Brooklyn, they became famous building churches , they came to this country to enjoy freedom of religion. I would love to watch a video from the southern sunset Park Brooklyn. Thank you for sharing.

[@noh8994]

The storm isn't going to hit us and Kenneth got another great video up. It will be a good day.

[@DavesWalks]

A splendid walk! Thank You

[@trmdude5738]

Thanks actionkid, love your channel

[@loufontana9928]

I been in Carroll gardens all my life , I could have gave you a Walk though the neighborhood with a little history to go with it 👍

[@RDSGRUPP]

it was a good walk 💚💛❤🤝

[@samirrami4586]

beautful veiw and nice , well done .

[@williamrubinstein3442]

Grand Army Plaza is named for the Grand Army of the Union during the Civil War, not for anything in the American Revolution.

[@ActionKid]

I got it from Wikipedia: “Originally, the grounds of the Grand Army Plaza was a battleground of the Battle of Long Island, which was the first major battle of the American Revolutionary War to take place after the promulgation of the United States Declaration of Independence.”

[@tedted5431]

Thanks. Nice video! 👍 🗽

Nice walk and narration! Thanks

Hello Action Kid, Really enjoyed your great video of of Red Hook and surrounding areas. Looks like it is a business area and a very large Ikea store. Cheers as always Action Kid

[@ActionKid]

Thanks!

The Red Hook Criterium bike race takes place in that neighbourhood too.

Great 👍

Thank you

Hey AK, the children’s show “Sesame Street” will turn 50 on November 10, 2019. It is/was filmed at Kaufman Astoria Studios, a NYC landmark for reasons beyond that show and I think worthy of a “walk”. So, can you show me how to get to Sesame Street?

[@ActionKid]

I could give it a try!

Congratulations for your new video. I would like to know if Christmas is coming to New York, and I would like to know if you will record video christmas, because I think chinese people do not celebrate christmas. Bye from Spain

[@erik0207]

Fernando sanchez cuadro lol this is hilarious but you speak better English than I speak Spanish so you win

[@ActionKid]

Thank you! I will be recording during the holidays for sure 😃

[@TechExploresNYC]

You could've taken the ferry back to wall st. But supposedly they don't allow commercial videos on the boat.

[@cabo7907]

One massive concrete imprisonment.

[@TazmanKRS]

@ActionKid I would very much like to visit NY. The walks you have done give a good insight into the areas. With all the many different restaurants and take aways etc. Is there any chance you would be able to enter one. Even for just a coffee to see what they are like inside please? Thanks again for your vids. All the best from the Wales - UK.

[@ActionKid]

I could give it a try sometime!

[@TazmanKRS]

@@ActionKid Thats great thank you.

AK or anyone on this forum, how good is the GoPro Hero8 in comparison to the 7? SINCERE opinions appreciated.

[@ActionKid]

I haven’t used it yet. People have great reviews of it already.

[@jpprolensproductions4526]

Thanks AK for replying. I enjoy your tours of NYC. Keep it up.

What in the world are they doing that it takes 2+ years to "build" a soccer/baseball field/park?

Neighborhood went from all Italians to all yuppies!

[@reillymoore3257]

Yes, all the way from there to Cobble Hill and most of Gowanus. Hipsters are even living along the murky Gowanus Canal and in factory lofts.

[@latabhave1502]

I remember this Brookline.Name.

[@Gothamish]

Too bad he skipped Enoteca on Court, next to Marco Polo. Incredible pizza is served there, once you get passed the noise of Lucali and others that seem to garner attention.

[@ActionKid]

That sounds like a great place! I’ll have to look it up.

[@andreyp3275]

19:23 - what fell on the fire truck from the right?

[@ehmmmjay9907]

Just a leaf, perfectly timed with the sound of the truck driving over a pothole or something.

[@ActionKid]

Wow! Maybe it was from the truck that passed! Looks like a rock or something.
