⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : SoHo, Manhattan (July 10, 2019)

Google Maps Route: goo.gl/maps/J6...
Join me as I narrate a walk through the SoHo neigborhood in Manhattan.
From Wikipedia:
"SoHo, sometimes written Soho, is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, which in recent history came to the public's attention for being the location of many artists' lofts and art galleries, but is now better known for its variety of shops ranging from trendy upscale boutiques to national and international chain store outlets. The area's history is an archetypal example of inner-city regeneration and gentrification, encompassing socioeconomic, cultural, political, and architectural developments.
The name "SoHo" refers to the area being "South of Houston Street", a name coined in 1962 by Chester Rapkin, an urban planner and author of The South Houston Industrial Area study, also known as the "Rapkin Report". The name also recalls Soho, an area in London's West End.
Almost all of SoHo is included in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, which was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973, extended in 2010, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. It consists of 26 blocks and approximately 500 buildings, many of them incorporating cast-iron architectural elements. Many side streets in the district are paved with Belgian blocks.
SoHo is part of Manhattan Community District 2 and its primary ZIP Codes are 10012 and 10013. It is patrolled by the 1st Precinct of the New York City Police Department."

[@Livingmydreammm]

Thank you❤❤❤

[@Tsalinger]

Have you ever done a walk of Dead Horse Bay? Interesting history as I'm sure your aware.

[@ActionKid]

T salinger1026 Yes I have! It’s a very interesting place and I hope to go back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYiwi32poquolas

[@spaceghost4474]

SOHO is a VERY interesting place. I can't imagine the loss to the city if Robert Moses had gotten his way and bulldozed it, and Greenwich Village for another expressway. 👍👍👍

[@crisyorke1328]

A lot of space for lease empty store. That's terrible.

[@Radhouen93]

I appreciate the effort you put on these videos. Great work and great narration.

[@romantissot7322]

[@brucebacklund9138]

As silly as it sounds, the date, time of day and temperature seem an important precursor for viewers of your videos! Nice Soho walk! Thanks.

[@OkieGal2]

Bruce Backlund, I agree. Good details to include. Great job, ActionKid!

I've never been to N.Y. Tonight I toured around the city all while lying on my couch lol. Thank you for the tour.

[@lui6697]

Crystal clean video,vivid colours, clean audio,good narration, thanks A.K.👍

[@cassiepierce7954]

I love narration and really love how positive you are. It’s refreshing to have someone look at everything in a positive light. Thank you!

[@michaellupton335]

You really should have a tv show format, consistently interesting, and informative, well done sir!

[@davidclemesha4202]

I love how you start out many of these videos....with us, the viewers, facing the abstract design that the subway doors create. It's a great beginning! Loving all the work you are doing. I am learning so much about New York.

[@sudippaudyal8805]

yesterday central park and today soho. and both narrated!!!. it seems like you took my request seriously😄 thanks!!!!

[@joncarlosfunes3470]

Who else is here to remember pre Corona NYC

[@myyoutube5567]

Corona NYC wasn't to bad. Literally no people.

[@jordan12118]

Hopefully we get back to this soon

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

@@jordan12118 hope so too, its getting there

[@erkanisk6786]

You’re definitely doing a good job.

[@shivaskanthan6144]

Thanks for sharing the sights and scenes of New York. I've never been there but it's nice to see what it looks like from an average Joe walking the streets of NY rather than from a tv show

[@Palsedi]

There's a certain quality in the vibe and energy of SoHo Manhattan

[@darcymateo4561]

My Hometown Born RAISED and still here....All my Uncles and Dad with groceries stores.....We are all still.....👋👋🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@shereegillett2165]

Action kid, Just want to say thank you for making these videos. I live in Australia and will never be able to get over to see what I think is the best city on the world. Thank you, keep up the fantastic and informative videos.

[@charlesgrayson1510]

The cobblestone streets are a welcome change from the norm. The first time I heard of cast iron buildings. It took artisans to construct them in the intricate designs.

[@BrookeRainwater]

I love your videos! You know so much about NYC it’s all so interesting. Thank you for taking the time and effort into these videos, it is very much appreciated.🗽🇺🇸

[@andrewsloman1985]

Love the videos man! The building at 10:45 (corner of Broadway & Broome) with the clock on it is the E.V. Haughwout building, also known for having the worlds very first passenger elevator! Truly a special building. Just wanted to sure- keep up the great content!

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jpapare]

I don't know why you would need more praise, but I'm praising you anyway. It's been more than 50 years since I've lived in Manhattan. I love your tours. I become familiar with bits of information and hidden areas that I was never aware of when I lived there. I'm so glad I had the New York experience when I was young and, through your videos, see the changes and newest developments I hadn't been aware of. I will watch all of your videos, and, more than once.

[@ActionKid]

😃 Thank you! I am happy to make these walks!

[@edwardlobb931]

This is fantastic - beholding the elegance of another era, when there was time to create facades like these. The cloe in walk along that soft grey front at 16:09+ and more.

[@shuquanthomas405]

Great vid man the narration really takes it to the next level!

[@ActionKid]

Thanks!

[@vikkinicholson2300]

SOHO puts you in mind of an "old " NYC with class and "character." Love it. Thank you for the tour.

[@enchantress7]

I love these videos! I'm having a relaxing Sunday morning in Tucson, AZ! I'm originally from upstate New York! Thank you for taking the time to do this! Very cool! I'm marathoning your videos.

[@johnmorris4347]

Your videos are so informative! I can't believe they're free, as well! Thanks! I honestly love your videos!

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome 😊

[@WinstonArthur]

Congratulations on your excellent videos. I watch a lot of "Walking" videos from different cities around the world and yours are among the best. Your voice enhances the images we see and the information you share is relevant to most people's interests. Great work.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you!

[@watermantimes5]

I knew a lady that you passed!! Pretty cool-my daughter and I get to visit you city often -she is a model. I don’t know if I would want to live there full time because it really seems expensive to live-but we love to visit!! I love your videos and I use them to learn my way around NYC. I also love the bits and pieces of history you tell us about different sections and buildings. I did not know that most of SOHO is cast-iron buildings…I found that really interesting. Keep the videos coming! You do an excellent job young man. Thank you from Pennsylvania .

[@ActionKid]

Wow very cool! I'm very glad you enjoy the video and got to see someone you recognized!

[@LHartman1]

SoHo is so darn cool looking!! I too want to thank you for your hard work.

[@joelthomas3164]

Awsome video..watching from Bangalore (India)😍😍😍

[@prinriggins9151]

I like how you take time and effort to list timestamps. I check them just to know the path you'll be filming. Narration is great!

[@ActionKid]

Thank you!

[@mongo0179]

This channel is creating a time capsule. Just think about watching this video 20 years from now.

[@marko99rocks]

Great video again, brings back a lot Memories from my last NY vist in last September...👌

[@renatalimarzi]

Precious job my friend, really. Thanks so much to let us dream about this incredible city. Ciao! Renata

[@hannahburden4843]

Thank you so much for this video! I love Soho so much and I can't wait to go there one day!

[@lgtag]

this would in TOP 5 videos for sure, great job :)

[@ActionKid]

Wow a top 5? You really think so?

[@robin5380]

Going over the earlier years everything seems newer better than now. before the virus no mask this was comforting thank you AK for the memories

[@vyacheslav1480]

That's awesome. Thank you for the interesting video about SoHo. I watched without stopping, soo cool.

[@ricklanders]

All those amazing buildings and architecture, and people are walking around with eyes glued to their cell phones, lol. Another nice video, thanks!

[@ervinvice1521]

Counting down to my next visit - these videos are a daily habit for me.

[@prinriggins9151]

You're the best!! Should do private tours!! Love your work!!

[@fedaalsanonah]

Those cast iron buildings.. Gorgeous!! Loved the video...

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

I'm here to remember what it was like to travel to an from NJ to Chinatown and Little Italy today entirely by mass transit. What a trip today was, no traffic headaches, no parking headaches, no long tired drives. Just enjoying the sights sounds and smells haha of the city. It was great

[@lifeeusa]

Dreaming of Travelling to New York someday 😃

[@crochetfun7202]

Great job taking a visit thru SoHo enjoyed very much

[@mishacoins7361]

I love how calmly he speaks.

[@carlosfinholdt4190]

ActionKid is the king. The best videos of NYC

[@alaing.5488]

Another great video! I'm surprised that you don't have 1M+ subscriber but I guess it will come with time... keep up the good work.

[@filmemacher9876]

Thats the Basic of KZbin. That is the realen why I like KZbin. Thanks a lat for your good Job 🇩🇪🙏🏻

[@VERSACE77]

When i watch your videos, i feel calm. Thanks for uploading.

[@ActionKid]

I’m glad you enjoy my videos 😊

[@Xman156]

I grew up in NYC but now live in a suburb of Atlanta. While I love the Atlanta suburbs, the city of Atlanta is dead compared to NYC! ATL is certainly cleaner and has a lot of nice modern buildings, but no ambience whatsoever. The same can be said of most American cities - dead! I also felt a lot safer walking NYC at night than I do in ATL, believe it or not!

[@thedogdogification]

Another great video from you! You go at just the right pace, slow enough to give us a good look at things but fast enough to fit in a lot of in one walk. And you take time to appreciate the architecture. The white building on the left at 24:41 is lovely.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you very much!

[@harukakondo3981]

This movie makes me feel like I went there. Thankyou.

[@mirjana9664]

Beautiful Soho, l was there once and l can not forget it, great place great energy

[@matwilliams2031]

"Beautiful architecture in SoHo NYC. Great video, Thank you ACTIONKID."

[@yaar-jay]

22:18 I like when people find happiness in small moments

[@chumkrimson8161]

i don't get it. what are you pointing at?

[@minipoopuu12340]

I love NYC such an exciting city thanks for sharing

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

Brilliant video, I shared this with someone whom is housebound, there appreciation and thanks I pass onto you now 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jimlasterni7310]

Action kid I enjoyed this video very much it is cool how you know so much about New York City thanks for the great video

[@MickHaller]

SoHo neighborhood is superb! Thank you for the video, man! P.S. The narration is just the way it should be!!!

[@ActionKid]

Thank you 😊

[@JimL666]

Thanks, Ak. I grew up in the south Bronx. This is one of my favorite neighborhoods. Beautiful architecture, not too crowded and lots of one-of-a-kind shops all around.

[@lfamvs5520]

I'm traveling from Europe to New York in a month. It's so exciting and also a bit scary. These video's really calm me down, thank you so much!

[@simeontrewenack101]

Thank you so much for sharing these videos of your beautiful city. One day I'll visit from Sydney Australia.

[@davidwoo8920]

the narration really adds to the tours, thanks!

[@raa8504]

I can feel my self I'm there with you lol.. I had move to New York in 1994. I was 10 years old. It was way cheap before 😂 I left 3 years ago. Buy our own house in Indiana. But I still can never forget NYC. Hoping to visit next year to meet all my friends.

[@unowen7591]

One of my favorite and most underrated neighborhoods in NYC Well done on this vid

[@sjtalksandlife]

Great walking tour!...I plan to visit New York one day

[@pathikvarh8424]

Man, keep making these brilliant videos!!! It a good job, no lies! I`ve never been to NY, one day maybe... Your videos are inspiring! Thank you for your narration! It`s deffo great!!!!!!

[@ActionKid]

Thanks!

[@RichieB40444]

At the 37:00 mark you see Praswell from the group The Fugies. He walks up and down there alot. Sometimes you walk right by celebrities and don't even know it. Working in that area for almost 20 years I've seen alot of them. Took a few pics as well. Lol

[@uwu-bq5mo]

i really love these kinds of videos 💖

[@lowersaxon]

Thank you again for another exciting NYC video. I must say I did expect more or at least some streetcafes in Soho. Please keep on your great walks on the wild side of the world.

[@Rocabear]

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to look up in NYC without worrying about being pickpocketed.

[@fetchrstudio]

You have a good soul. You have kind words for many things around you...even the merchandise in the shop window.

[@MyCricketGirl]

2:33 Kate Chastain from Below Deck walks by.

[@mchugoz]

Thank you for another great video! SoHo is one of my favorite places in NYC, amazing architecture. May I ask what time of the day this was filmed at? The light was just great. Also, nice to see you reflected in the windows of the Chanel boutique :)

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! I said at the beginning it's 5:00 PM 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@abrock6215]

Excellent video. I enjoyed watching my old home town.

[@mohammadfahminanda9164]

it was beautiful back then, i miss nyc

[@janetjones4310]

I've seen many of your vlogs, and I have to say. You are very good at what you do! I'm a new yorker and seen many of the places you toured, and I have to say I get a different eye every time you do a vlog of the city. Very enjoyable to watch....

[@Bogieking78]

That house at 24:16; the Anthony Arnoux House;built 1825; former brothel lol!

[@lfrombrussels5188]

Simply wonderful ! Thank you

[@cryptographicchar2813]

Love your videos, man :-)

[@raineyj560]

One of my favorite areas in the city. Might go there today before Bloomingdale's

[@PrettyToez07]

NY is everything

[@patrickperez9790]

always enjoy these videos. i was in NYC for a month and didn't get to experience SoHo but with this video I feel like I was there. Would be interesting to see how it's changed post-pandemic.

[@Mzy-fr4hg]

Soho's one of my favorite places in NYC, thank you 🙏

[@fernandaavila4514]

increíble vídeo te felicito !! hace tiempo tenía curiosidad por conocer el soho y tu lo muestras a pleno , me encantó gracias !!

[@MansoorKhan-us2le]

Sir beautiful ❤️ video made by u to all of the world.A big thanks sir

[@leono7380]

YES, let´s go shopping.

[@4gma59]

Diggin' your videos -- fun to watch -- thank you!

[@marcoso999]

i m actually going to NY next week, come here to get familiar with the streets.

[@tomservo75]

I used to make semi regular visits to NYC (not SOHO) back when I lived in New Jersey. How I took it for granted that I could just "stop by NYC for the day." Now that I live out West, however, I can't say I miss it that much. It was a nice place to visit once and a while, back at that time, but I don't think there's enough money in the economy for me to live or work there now, especially how the city has gone downhill lately.

[@1961RetroMIke]

Hello Actionkid. My sister lives at 265 Lafayette St. and I have many memories of coming to visit her from the time I was a teen boy. I wish I had a video to show you of this same neighborhood from back in the mid 1970's when I was first introduced to it. Can't wait to show this one to her, she will love it. Thanks so much!

[@ActionKid]

Awesome!

[@socawarrior1263]

Very nice video, possibly one of the best i've seen on youtube

[@ActionKid]

Thank you!

[@glennfjenkins2702]

I really appreciate the information here about New York City Actionkid please continue to keep us posted thanks

[@lighthousekeeper101]

An amazing tour of soho... The narrative/narration part sets your videos further apart its so much better then just silent videos

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much!

[@luuchoo93]

You should do all videos in sunny clear weather. The difference is HUGE. Thanks for the great video

[@OutboundShane]

Somehow this reminds me of the area around Canal Street in New Orleans, the buildings are of similar architecture but the SOHO buildings are bigger.

[@jenlarge9036]

I dont think the fire escapes are unsightly. They are a part of New York, and I dont think they are any where else?

[@omgbasedgawd]

jen large we have some in la but not in ordinary apartments. common in older hotels

[@BrowntownZone]

The older buildings in Vancouver BC still have them

[@davidburrow5895]

Thanks for another great tour. I can tell your true appreciation for your city in your descriptions. Something that surprises me as you walk by all these designer stores is how many of the businesses are not accessible. I'd think that almost thirty years after the Americans with Disabilities Act these stores would have found a way to get around the steps at their entrances. While I'm not really disabled myself, I do have a bum knee, and many of these businesses seem to be very unfriendly to people who have any trouble at all getting around.

[@ActionKid]

NYC can really do more for people with disabilities.

[@rosenelson8023]

I love watching your videos and I always get so homesick.

[@nescafe7154]

Pretty neat to see this part of NYC. Somewhere in these areas is where Ghost(1990) with Patrick Swayze was filmed

[@TheNeilDarby]

From an Oregonian who may never make it to the East Coast, thank you.
