I came to this great country in March of 1952 by ship, the Ile de France, landing at pier 46 after being seasick for seven agonizing days. It seems like yesterday. I was eight-years-young then and rooted for the Brooklyn Dodgers. This video is precious to me for many reasons. I worked in the Chelsea-area, 14th-29th Streets, on the West-side, for twenty-years, mostly as an NYPD detective from 1965-1985. The piers in that precinct were know as, " the meat market" and processed beef for sale to all. An area not very desireable back then. Now it is much different and high-priced. This video is much like the Chelsea area, with similar buildings, as I remember them. Thank you for bringing this video to the world so we can all see a part of lower Manhattan of today. Mike (Michel)

[@lindahenderson840]

I am running out of words to say about your brilliant and interesting videos. This was so good to watch it and was lovely walking with you again today :)

[@ActionKid]

No problem 😃 it’s wonderful you’re enjoying them so much!

[@ChiefChacone]

For someone who doesn`t live in the US, your Videos are really interesting. Love your commentary, and your voice is really relaxing and nice to listen to. Greeting from germany.

[@yaya3025]

Now this is how NYC waterfronts should look like. Charles Lane is an iconic street. Reminds me of The Netherlands. Thank you for another excellent video.

[@jyotsnap4400]

Your videos give a real-time experience,, you are helping so many people around the world. Thank you from India.

[@MrMeadfoot]

Nelson's videos are always worth a watch, keep up the good work.

[@nasdaqua]

You finally made it to Charles Ln, Actionkid....great video ...the apartments along West St and neighboring streets go for $1,000,000 PLUS...the West Village is expensive. You passed the NYC Police Dept BOMB SQUAD. on Charles St. Keep up the great work.

[@nasdaqua]

@D B Not altogether true , DB. If you check out www.zillow.com there are apartments in the West Village for even less than $1 million. However, you're right about general pricing...big bucks for large apartments..

[@nasdaqua]

@D B That's the definition of a studio apt in NYC= closet.

[@jurgenrathjen5965]

What a great job they did with that pier. In the 1950's the west side piers handled many ocean liners which was the main means of transportation to Europe and other locales before air travel become dominant. The ocean liner piers were farther north, (pier 89, 88, 90). I remember back then if a ship was ready to leave you could spend a couple of hours on board by paying 50 cents to the longshoremans fund. Obviously you had to leave before the ship left.

11:45 The "tiny little white house with blue windows" was a MANHATTAN FARM HOUSE! Can you believe it? It was moved from the Upper East Side years ago. Search for: 121 Charles Street, NY NY

Wow cool!

@@ActionKid I learned about it in Junior High. They moved the cobblestones and everything. The large gate in the front was specifically put there so onlookers like you can see the house!

Thanks for this video AK! I saw my old building 15 Charles. I remember there used to be a dry cleaner nearby Harry's? Something like that. Brought back great memories. Turn left on 7th and used to walk to AGAVE to hang out! Thank you!!! You're the best!

I've got to say, the simplicity of the videos I've seen of yours is really refreshing and enjoyable. I live in and love Los Angeles and like to explore much as you do. I only wish I'd videotaped my journeys as you do. Thank you for this. I follow along on the map and feel a little closer the New York, a place I wish I lived. Cheers

[@taylorstone101]

Thank you so much for these videos. I love hearing your take on the city and passing knowledge on to other people. Since hearing you mention Nelson, I’ve watched a few of his videos. Just like him, I believe your videos will be a great record of what the city was like!

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome! I’ve already seen changes in New York since I started recording.

[@vickilynn9514]

Your videos are amazing. I use them to run in place, and i can imagine I am running through NYC! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelgray3002]

You did again Action Kid what a beautiful neighborhood of NYC I have heard about Greenwich village and now I can see how beautiful it is and yes I can imagine how expensive it must be to live in the area as well. Another job well done and thanks for doing it 😀😀

[@nasdaqua]

Actually, the area is not Greenwich Village..it's the West Village.. Greenwich Village is a bit east of these streets and encompass Macdougal, Sullivan and Thompson Streets, Carmine, Bleecker, King, Charlton, W 4th, W 3rd, West Houston, Bedford, and a few others.

[@luuchoo93]

Greetings from El Salvador, Central America a Spanish speaking country. I have walked with you thru your videos along NY, I have to say: You have done a great job, surely at the end of each video you must be exhausted but for the benefit of all of us. Nice narrated videos, easy English pronunciation, easy to follow, thanks for you contributions. Keep up the good work.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you 😃

[@juliobandaiglesias7060]

There are a lot of subway stations that need a reparation / remodelation urgently, they're very old, in bad conditions and dirty. New York is a rich city and very touristic so the authorities should focus on that aspect which is very important, not only remodeling/restoring the stations which are in wealthy areas of Manhattan.

[@MannyExploresVlog]

Great video, and great narration, felt like I was walking with you.

[@lincoln169]

It's sad to see the Sixth Ave. Barnes and Noble closed. That was my favorite one and I'd go there to get my books and games. Thanks 😊

[@nasdaqua]

There's a great Barnes & Noble at Union Square..it's the best one. I am sorry to see Border's bookstore closed, years ago...and then there's Strand ..a great store on Broadway and 12th St.

[@AndresGarcia-qo8is]

Great video Kid!! Could I suggest a couple of intresting streets to visit: 11th street from Broadway to West Side Highway (the say one of the most beautiful houses in the city). Also Greenwich street from Canal down to the WTC.

[@ActionKid]

Great suggestions!

[@claudiahansen4938]

Andres Garcia , definitely! I used to live on West 11th Street in the 1970's.

[@AndresGarcia-qo8is]

@@claudiahansen4938 Must have been wonderful in the 70s. It was the golden era for the Village. Was it safe back then? Hope ActionKid can record that video. It seems nowdays some of the most expensive real estate is on that street. I believe Sarah Jessica Parker double mansion is somewhere there too. Michael Kors alos lives on the Greenwich Lane complex on 11th and 7th Ave.

[@claudiahansen4938]

Andres, yes. The Village was safe back then, except the W Side highway, and the meatpacking district at night.

[@nasdaqua]

@@ActionKid Yes...i agree that TRIBECA would be a great place to video..especially, Harrison St ( and the private houses nearby), North Moore St ( where JFK Jr used to live) opposite Ghostbuster's Firehouse, Vestry, Laight, Hubert, Beach Streets and Robert De Niro's Tribeca Grill and his hotel ...

[@cookingartguy2170]

Very interesting and enjoyable. I need to get to NYC, it's been a few years. I especially liked this on Charles Street as the night before last we had dinner at our very good friends down here in South Florida who around ten years ago sold their townhouse on Charles Street to the actress Hilary Swank. If you can't be wealthy, I guess it's good to have wealthy friends lol. Anyway, very enjoyable and nicely done. We'll check out your others. Oh by the way it took me a few minutes to realize the Nelson Sullivan you were talking about, I always enjoy watching his old videos on KZbin.

[@nasdaqua]

@@BradThePitts from wikipedia "The design of the three-story brick, single-family houses[2] is unusual, in that they are set back from the street, and all have front and side yards - an oddity in Manhattan - as well as wooden porches. The first group of houses, numbers 8 through 22, comprises freestanding pairs, while the remainder, numbers 24 through 60, are connected together at the rear.[1]"

[@sabina8618]

ActionKid (Jake?), thank you for your beautiful videos - I am loving them since I discovered your channel just a few weeks ago and now am bingewatching! Am able to be in NYC from my chair here in Australia. This video feels a little personal as the last (and only) time I was in NYC was in 1989, staying in the Village. I wonder - are you Nelson Sullivan reincarnated as you sound an awful lot like him and share his gift. Or have you emulated him and your accent is an homage? Either way, thank you so much for your journeys.

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for your kind message. I’m sure Nelson would have appreciated what this city has turned into also!

[@mattneillninasmom]

In the 1970's the elderly proprietor of a Locksmith shop on Hudson Street, a lifelong neighborhood resident, told me that Charles Lane was formerly known as "Pig Alley" and that the pigs were driven from their holding pens down the lane to the slaughterhouse that then existed on the pier. He didn't live to see the final iteration shown in your video - but he could see it coming.
