What I SAW in NEW YORK was COMPLETELY UNREAL! This will CHANGE People's LIVES on a GLOBAL SCALE!

[@Shazzoley]

Hi Lee just love your vlogs keep safe in the sun it looks a lovely place to visit. ❤️❤️

[@dCarey906]

Just fantastic and thank you for bringing us all along ❤

[@mandycoulbeck8692]

amazing vlog lee

[@imagseer]

Good to see you back into the Mac Master city exploring vibe with that video... much more shape to it. Enjoyable.

[@lynnerowlands5052]

Afternoon hun that was brilliant I so enjoyed that thank you it was lovely to see were you used to live and play LOL great vlog aswell I like the natural ones with no music . you just being you ❤ xxxx

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Lee's videos are better with Lee just being Lee as his authentic self 🙏

[@matthewetheridge4535]

That's a compleement!

[@simpsomf]

Loved it. It was fascinating and I was hooked.

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Thank you Lee and you always have my support 🙏

[@carolb9208]

There’s something about New York that feels like you leave something there & just have to go back then back again, really enjoying these❤

[@richardgelber2740]

That's actually how I feel about London.

[@G58]

Yeah, it’s most of your money, plus 20% - minimum. The Dems have ruined it.

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Watching from Castleford Wetherspoons just letting someone know I'm ok.. sending support 🙏

[@EvilSie]

There should be no "minimum expected tip". Employers need to pay their staff a decent wage and tips be based on good service.

[@mongo64071]

The minimum wage in New York City for restaurant workers is 15$ an hour.

[@ChandlerBinge]

I agree, I have absolutely no problem tipping for good service, it's not expected or required where I live, makes it more appreciated and it's a tough job at the best of times 👍

[@EvilSie]

@@mongo64071 not bad. Just above the minimum wage in the UK. Should go to $20 dollars an hour like California.

[@mongo64071]

@@EvilSie also, in the US, restaurant workers are also getting tips, often 20%. A new proposal is to make tips tax free wages. So depending on where you work, you can make pretty good pay.

[@EvilSie]

@@mongo64071 I'm all for the workers making as much money as possible, I just feel like the primary responsibility for paying these workers should be the employer's. Nobody should be paid as little as $7.25 (or $2.13) an hour.

[@tinalouise5880]

Another great vlog- does look a fab place to live, can well imagine how much you loved it 😊

[@carolmurray5569]

Enjoyed the video Lee,thank u 👍👍

[@andyjordan9399]

Great mentioning the good old days with letraset coming from a printing background in newspapers as a compositor those hot metal days also did a stint at Nottingham post in 2000 keep it up 😊

[@roccprofit]

Nobody tells me how much I'm required to tip. I tip for good service not just because they think I should. Customer service is the schtick. It's literally their job. If their customer service is weak they won't be getting a tip. Period. Any place that forces a tip I won't ever patronize again.

[@alibolla]

Enjoyed the walk down Washington Street Hoboken brought back nice memories from when me and my family visited there loved it , we got a ferry from Manhattan only took 15 mins if that, will go back next time we are over.

[@angelairvine3091]

Thanks for another great video, loving New York , would you ever consider moving back here to live with your family when you retire or is it too expensive ? Xx

[@TheMacMaster]

I'd love to. But not sure my Partner would. x

[@DrCMac-2025]

[@SmallWonda]

Certainly good without music - don't need it! Especially like to see where you are going and what you are describing. certainly quite different from the usual hustle & bustle you expect from NYC - so more of the same, with perhaps even less head to camera! H was a nice surprise - what are the benefits of living in Jersey & maybe working in NYC??

[@kevinb7311]

great tour

[@Chrislimey38]

Good luck mate.😊

[@martinwalker3372]

Thanks Lee. Another lovely video. I think a 20% tip is somewhat pushy and I believe all tips should be dependant on the service received.

[@m2db772]

Love these videos .

[@scottishkat81]

Hiya I wondered if you'd ever been to Carlos' bakery in Hoboken i used to watch the show as loved it. I remember hearing that story too in comments of his show which im sure aired on TLC

[@TheMacMaster]

I have. Terrible cakes.

[@Northanteus]

I do like this style of video. Good job. 👍

[@peterclarke3300]

Great video Lee 👍👍

[@mell3109]

@macmaster what the name of the place when you go through Eataly across from the flat iron building? It’s right at the back of the shop and there are restaurants etc.

[@nigel8499]

A tip - or gratuity - is the money that goes straight to the employees and can form part of their hourly pay. A service charge, however, is an additional payment for the business or establishment, and not specifically for the staff. I imagine only a small amount of the 20% goes to staff unfortunately in many establishments.

[@johnelliott9415]

Hay Lee looks a great place Starbucks coffee place looks interesting and all them streets and surrounds never thought about going to America maybe one day.

[@RailsandSky]

How many times do you say "Right okay"? LOL

[@johnoleary148]

Lee also while you are there you have to try Los Tacos No 1 for lunch. Amazing Taco's and great value. There is one in Chelsea Market and one in Times Square which are the two I have been to but there are others to. So good. If you like Two's that is. Chicken, Beef or Pork. Superb. You must try if you can. Agree Chelsea market is really good and I love the Meatpacking District to.

[@steveoh6663]

The dumb tipping culture in the US is one reason I have no desire to visit.

[@mattelliott5726]

Love Chelsea Market. That Corkbuzz wine place is a great place to grab some decent wine and watch the world go by

Was back in nyc recently, prices are crazy…and the tipping 🙈🙈

Actually the truck's are very modern, they just kept that old appearance because that's what people like. Climb up in one and you see these truck's have all the newest tech.

[@JimClements-z2t]

Looks great

[@richardgelber2740]

It should be noted (and I'm surprised Lee hasn't pointed this out very much) that New York City is just plain unique (in the U.S. and the world). If you don't like what you see in Lee's videos there are plenty of other places to go... but it's the same as last year's videos from Lee; we won't be changing. What we (most of us) will do is run over and offer directions if you walk down the street holding a map. I certainly have done that hundreds of times. Even more fun for me if you don't speak English. Plus, if you're French and I have to stumble through the language to answer, I'll feel very proud after you compliment my accent. (If you're British I won't expect a compliment unless you were expecting a Brooklyn accent and don't hear it, since I don't normally speak that way... maybe sometimes on request.)

[@Northernlanes]

this 'tipping' mentality is ridiculous, I've been the the US many times but it's the one thing that puts me off returning, virtually every other country in the world doesn't have this tipping culture

[@SuperPropwash]

Thanks for sharing these!! As an American, you are showing me as well as other Americans things we may never get to see in our lifetime. I do not travel anymore so these are great. I like that you lived in the area so you know a few things too. Always glad to have Brits here. I am a Garrard but not the one who owns that big jewelry store there. Too bad. I could use a few bucks. MY family came from there a couple of centuries ago. One was a Duke. Two brothers came here. One went south USA and the other north to the midwest in Kentucky to find their fortunes. I am from the southern brother. WE did not do as well as the Kentucky ones did.

[@johnoleary148]

Love these New York vlogs. I love the city. Go every couple if years. Always something new and I never get bored. But one thing that is true in recent years and that is America and New York now is so expensive. It really is. You have to watch yourself. Keep up the good work and enjoy your trip. Need to visit Hoboken sometime. Looks a nice area.

[@mongo64071]

Only the past 3 years. Hmm. What happened 3 years ago??

[@Ade2bee]

What I understand there’s a problem with Tipping because the New York authorities made everybody pay a minimum wage, and some Americans are saying that if they’re getting paid a minimum wage they don’t need tipping? Is this true? ?

[@mongo64071]

NYC has a 15$ an hour minimum wage for restaurant workers. They get tips on top of that. Tipping was always done to offset the lower wages that restaurants paid. But now they pay more and pass that cost to the customer, some customers feel tipping is too much.

[@fishtigua]

There used to be a really nice marina in Chelsea, you could live there on a boat almost cheaper than an apartment. Now it's KRAZY money, $1500 a week for even a modest sailboat.

Thanks for showing us around the rotary starbucks, trendy N.Y. Your a gadget man Lee that is why you ended up with an electric car as you want the latest over priced gadgets lol ! The prices have certainly shot up $7 for iced latte and of course the crepe but it would have fed 2 as it was very large, but they are cheap to make so big profit. I really like hoboken we stayed in a hotel overlooking the Hudson with an amazing view of all the different boats etc on the water overlooking the area where you were walking by the water, the name escapes me , but would certainly stay there again if i was fit to travel 😢

Starbucks, in many countries, only exists where American tourist go, as the locals won’t drink such poor quality coffee. Donuts in Poland are so much better. That crepe looked unbelievably bad value. American food is so unhealthy - even the flour is over processed. My daughter in law has been told that her problems with gluten will be much diminished in Europe because of how flour is processed there compared with the USA. Yes, I’m ranting about USA food and coffee, but with good reason. Two months in Europe and one month in Australia this year has really opened my eyes to how bad American food is (there is a reason that the medical advisor from my health insurance company told me a few years back that the American food and drink industry is killing Americans - profit before … everything!). Lee - the travel vlog about NYC is interesting, I love the city, but the food aspects now need a health warning, as well as your warnings on cost, tax and tips.

[@G58]

Wasn’t Gaslight the venue where Joan Baez introduced the shy Bobby Zimmerman to when he first arrived in New York? Maybe it was The Bitter End. Anyway, by the time they were both on the Rolling Thunder tour, most fans assumed Baez was tugging on Dylan’s coattails, mainly because he was the folk superstar, and she appeared to spend most of her time staring at him adoringly.

Minimum tip 20%? Another reason I'll never visit the USA. Crepes/pancakes (known as clătite here in Romania) are a popular street food and are priced between £1 and £2 depending on the size and toppings. Mountain Dew has been available in the UK for ages. My son-in-law introduced me to it in 2010 when he and my daughter spent a holiday with me in Romania.

[@richardgelber2740]

I rarely, if ever, go into Starbucks. There's perfectly decent coffee available almost everywhere for half the price. Plus, I don't have to remember what the quirky product names mean. Anyway, if they have working coffee roasting machines inside, it's a wonder the whole place isn't just on fire, based on what the coffee tastes like (to me). Note that I'm not really complaining about the prices, I'm complaining about the coffee. Everything is expensive in NYC. I'm just lucky that I had the opportunity to buy my co-op apartment 40 years ago. So my complaints about Starbucks are expressed by going elsewhere for coffee. Likewise, I could express my distaste for the very high cost of living here by moving, which I haven't done.
