As a native New Yorker (Queens!), I could give thousands of loves and hates about New York City, but thing I'll always love above all is how you can, in a sense, travel the world through all the immigrant communities throughout the city. Literally from every corner of the globe there is a community there and it's the thing that makes New York for me. It's something I hope gentrification doesn't completely kill off eventually. Also you mentioned talking fast at the end of this video, you can't help it you're in New York, no time for talking slow there!!!

l can't blame you for getting all excited about New York - l have the same weakness! l love the ever-present sea views, the great architecture and riveting historical sites, the parks, the nature and hiking that can be done right in New York City, the fascinating vantage points, the little-known intriguing sites in all the boroughs, and, yes, the interesting, friendly New Yorkers! When in other American cities, l often think, "here are much fewer public restrooms than in NYC." ln New York City, parks more often than not have restrooms; playgrounds often have them. ln Lower Midtown Manhattan, l find the restroom in the Barnes & Noble mega-bookstore excellent, on 17th Street facing Union Square.

I love all your videos Mark but your videos about New York are my favourites :) I moved here in 2016 and it's just one of the best places in the world to me. One of the things that I really love about living here is how you get to experience all the seasons in the most beautiful way, in the fall it's a sea of orange leaves everywhere in Central Park, in the winter is beyond magical with the Christmas lights everywhere and in the spring and summer the city comes alive. Something else that is so amazing about New York is that it really is a treasure chest of a city. I've been fortunate enough to travel and spend time in lots of cities around the world but something I've found with a lot of the cities I've been to is once you get over the initial excitement and buzz of seeing all the sights ... that's kind of it lol. Where as with New York there is always something new to see and discover. It really is impossible to get bored in this city. Something to love as well, just like you said Mark, is all the different cultures and food! When me and hubby go out on date night it's like stepping into Greece in Astoria and Italy in Little Italy .... which is extra special for us because I'm Italian and my hubby is Greek so it's a home away from home. And yep NYC pizza is everything 🗽

I have just returned to Brighton in the UK from a week in NYC. I was last in NYC 20 years ago. I totally agree with all Mark's loves and hates. I stayed in an AirBnB rental in Queens for a reasonable price. You can stay in NYC for a good price if you don't stay on Manhattan and as long as you are reasonably close to a subway you can easily get around. Most important thing is footwear! In NYC you will walk and walk and walk…

I was born in Brooklyn and have lived in New York my whole 66 years. This video is true. I guess Times Square is something to see but, I hate it. I never go there. It's jammed packed, full of horrible rude Disney characters and really doesn't represent New York. Christmas is beautiful in New York but know that Rockefeller Center where the tree is located is so unbelievably crowded. It's better to go there in early December on a weekday! Also, generally New York is best in Fall and Spring. Summer's are horribly hot, humid and crowded. Winters can be nice but you take a chance with the weather which can bite you on the ass!

Another tip: New York always changes. The New York you come to now won’t be the same one you were at 10 years ago. We have historical places and things that don’t change like everywhere, but the pace at which change happens is so much quicker here. The new restaurant you liked is probably gone, the neighborhood you visited is bigger/smaller than it was, etc. It sucks and it doesn’t at the same time.

this is going to be a long one! i was born in manhattan (the main part that everyone thinks of when you say nyc) but live in new jersey. i consider manhattan my playground! it's easy to navigate (until you get to the southern part) because it's set up like a grid. north - the numbers get bigger, west - the numbers get bigger, and broadway cuts a diagonal. go see a broadway show, have a food tour, bryant park has these little stalls year round but during christmas, it has christmas markets! (there are other sites of christmas markets in manhattan that all have different vendors). plus, the back of bryant park is the nyc library where they filmed the day after tomorrow where they hide! sooooo many places to see where they filmed movies and shows! there's also all the multi-cultural stuff mark talked about. there's 3 chinatowns - manhattan, queens, and brooklyn all have one. there's little italy, little britain, koreatown is a couple of blocks south of penn station, little russia, little phillipines, etc. you could spend a month just exploring these places and the foods they offer. there's the intrepid air craft carrier along the piers and other piers that also have a plethora of events and play areas (there are a lot of piers). you could even time your visit to a large convention taking place at the jacob javits center like the car show. if you loved the last olympian by rick riordan (percy jackson series), you could even make a little tour of all the places he mentions (but the statues don't come to life - i tried). yes, people seem to be rushing around. i actually find that i walk faster in nyc. dodge and weave. but part of it is knowing where i'm going. some avenues (north/south) are busier than others. the ones in the middle of manhattan are busier than on the outside so if you want to avoid that, you could. streets are short (east/west) so if you get out of a subway station and you don't know which way is north or south/east or west, walk a block (i've done that loads of times)! the subways aren't difficult to maneuver but i highly recommend downloading the app that shows the lines. if you stay in midtown manhattan, you don't really need to take the subway unless your destination requires a lot of walking. i take the train into the city and when i went to the american museum of natural history, that was a subway destination because there was going to be a lot of walking once i got there. however, if i go in to see a play, i walk. people are generally nice. if you ask for help, someone most likely will. i've stopped and asked police officers for the nearest wells fargo atm and they've been willing to whip out their phone to find the nearest one for me. just stay alert and be aware of your surrounds. don't walk around with ear buds/head phones on or have your eyes glued to your phone. times square has those characters that will want you to pay if you have your pic taken with them. just a heads up. i swear by the pizza place in penn station as the best! for a fun experience in a theme restaurant, i love jeckyll and hyde. the food is ok, but you're really there for the ambiance and experience. great pub food? i love o'donohues in times square. gotta have a dirty dog (hot dog from a street cart) or a hot pretzel! quintessential nyc eats! WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES. i can't stress that enough. i prefer visiting in the cooler months like mid november through march/april. because there's so much pavement, the city tends to trap the heat (especially in the summer). it doesn't smell as much in the winter! the subway is great for hitting most of manhattan and making it very easy to navigate. it's a little harder in the outer boroughs like queens, brooklyn, and the bronx. can't say i've ever gone into staten island except to use the bridges. those tend to utilize buses more or driving. i refuse to drive in nyc. you couldn't pay me enough. but i will say that if you take the number 7 train, you will be able to get to mets stadium, chinatown flushing, and the site of the world fair spaceship looking thing you see in the first men in black movie! there's so much more, but i think i've hijacked the comments section enough. sorry, mark!

Lol when you were showing off the food that definitely wasn't a popular NY Bagel. I've had and seen bagels from different NY places and they put a ton of cream cheese on. I myself am used to small amounts, but that was definitely not what I got out there lol. NY is great! The people were always friendly, I utilized bathrooms at museums and other tourist spots I went to, I also used them at Port Authority because they're cleaned often because of the heavy foot traffic. I loved being amongst all the people, fresh air (lol never smelt the bad random smell thankfully) and trying different cheap food spots around the city. I didn't use the subway. I walked and used the hop on hop off bus because I bought passes and it was fast for me and I got to learn about the city on the rides.

There are a few things that I do every time (visit Central Park, go to several plays) but every time I go I get home and add 3 or 4 things that I want do do next time. Now granted, a few of my trips there have only been 3 days, but most of the times I have been to NYC it is for 5 or 6 days. LOVE this place!

Back then I could not get a one night stay for less than $200! 4. The culture is incredible. 5. It's fast paced. 6. Great food. Pizza! 7. The people are either friendly or weird. And proud. I encourage people to go. It's an experience! I couldn't live there. Too expensive and fast paced and intense.

Just back in the UK from 7 nights exploring Manhattan. Overall experience was good… Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, pre season American football game at the MetLife Stadium, and brief exposure to Harlem. Cons - ridiculous cost of a glass of wine (suffice to say not much was drunk); Times Square and Central Park (why all the hype unless I was missing something); and although I was aware of the ‘tips’ culture, I didn’t expect to tip the guy passing me a can of beer from a chiller or the ice cream vendor, consequently I didn’t, although happy to tip at restaurants, airport transfer driver, and hotel room housekeeping.

If you're visiting and you'd like to get a feel for the sort of classic, immigrant New York City setting that you've seen in old movies, you should really take some time to walk around Chinatown and the Lower East Side (below Delancey Street). This is one of the few pockets of Manhattan that hasn't changed a lot yet. It is still full of old tenements and small businesses. In particular, I would recommend starting at Chatham Square and walking up Mott Street toward Canal; then Canal Street east to the Manhattan Bridge entrance; then continuing past the bridge to East Broadway; then back west to Chatham Square. This is just a general route, but you should check out the side blocks. It's a little bit gritty but very safe (during the day, at least). Highly recommend the little-known Eldridge Street Museum, which is in an old synagogue. The story of the entire Lower East Side is there, with a focus on the Jewish immigrant experience in NYC.

What you were saying about how the locals will get on tourists if they just randomly stop to take pictures and they for lack of better words, go off on them because the locals are in a rush to get to work and what not. That's just about anywhere that's a tourist area. Because with where I commute to for work is a fairly decent tourist area and I sometimes, well just about all the time get pissed because I want to get somewhere and I have someone who just stops and becomes dumb. AHHHHH the enjoyment of living in a tourist area.

Next time you visit, you should come to the outer boroughs too! It is even more diverse in places outside Manhattan such as Queens, which is probably the most culturally diverse place in the world. All of these places are reachable by the Subway and are STILL PART OF New York City! I emphasize this since many people think NYC is only Manhattan when in fact they have four more boroughs to explore (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island) and thus miss out on so much more.

I’ve lived here all my life. This video is pretty much true. It’s all a little too much, but there’s so much to do and see. Don’t forget Lincoln Center for symphony, dance, opera, theater. The Bronx has a better Little Italy than Manhattan (it’s Arthur Ave), and Flushing Queens has much better Asian food than Chinatown. New Yorkers may be in a constant rush, but if you need help, they’ll stop on a dime to give you directions. And if you can’t find a potty, just leave a poop in front of Trump Tower :)

Disappointing party experience (i got recommendation by many locals) 5. Distances (just because i can't think of another CONT) PROS 1. Tons of shopping and eating options. 2. Full of attractions to experience. 3. ULTRA friendly New Yorkers. I got treated always with a smile. 4. Not everything is skyscrapers. There's Brooklyn and Queens and they are beautiful. 5. Multiculturalism.

I'm from the UK in Norfolk/Norwich area and I found a job/types of jobs that'll earn me £108 (or somethin ridiculous like that 😂) a week and I'm planning on saving up a trip to NYC for 3 weeks (as there's a lot to do), I want to visit places like Nintendo NY (main dream to visit & buy all their exclusives 😂 & try and get the Nintendo Amiibo figures the hard to find ones as I don't want to spend $150 on a piece of plastic that gets scalped & resold & try and get an NES Classic & SNES Classic too) Midtown Comics (in Times Square but is that the main one?) Museum of Natural History Chinatown Pizza, hot dogs, FOOD 😂 Try one Broadway show See the Statue of Liberty & close up Visit Manhatten, Queens, Brooklyn, visit Central Park Zoo, & the park itself is also want to go there for Halloween and Christmas especially & do lots of photography & drawing & hopefully try & save the Dollar notes too & get loads of souvenirs especially a Statue of Liberty figure & just sight see, DEFINITELY want to go when it snows too I'll probably take my big sister as she is a little more experienced with NY, I DEFINITELY wanna go when it's Christmas time despite it more expensive lol

Best advice for tourists wanting to take pictures on the streets is instead of stopping in the middle of the street and aggravate other pedestrians, get on the crosswalk of a busy avenue while you have the walk signal to take a picture of the fantastic architecture from the middle of the intersection. And do take your time to capture that perfect shot because when the oncoming traffic gets the green light, you have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn into a pile of meat sauce on a taxi cab's hood. Don't worry. Other tourists do that all the time here. So it's OK!

I love my city ❤ but wow that part with Time's Square...I was just there the other day and it was way less crowded. It wasn't a ghost down like they portray on the news but it wasn't wall to wall ppl like that...actually I like it better that way lol Oh yeah and one thing you'll hate...those SHOWTIME guys on the train 🤣...annoying

Manhattan is one of the easiest places to navigate anywhere. Streets are numbered running east-west, avenues north-south. If you know the location of your destination, finding it on foot or subway without a map is easy

I live in NJ or New Jersey in a town called Edison which is like 45 mins away from NYC and I enjoy going to NYC. It's a beautiful city. When I go there I always think if only I had my own apartment over there in a high rise building even though it's expensive. Whenever I go there it I don't feel like returning to my house and then would think I should live there over NJ cuz I like big cities.

I used to live in Middlesex County too and love NYC. I lived there from October 1987 to June 1988. Yes, just a short 9 months. NYC in the summer (hot, humid and smelly) and winter (cold, slush sucks when you step in it, turn a corner and your in a hurricane) is horrible. Fall and spring wonderful but I am sure you already know this.

One thing you may hate initally is a lot of the people may come off Nasty(especially if you are renting a car and driving) because we do curse behind the wheel(because generally we are always in a rush ) but if you get to know people and start a conversation with them. A lot of them could be super friendly. Also if you are renting a car please avoid driving in the city. Take the subway whenever possible. It's much cheaper and faster than grabbing multiple Ubers/Lyfts

first..thanks for reminding visitors to move out of the way when taking a pic.. also, stand back from the corners if your light is red and you're waiting to cross the street.. its an annoyance to locals who are trying to cross from the other streets and your group is blocking the entire corner.. also, walk with some urgency or move to the right.. also, walk single file when its busy.. you're special someone can survive without holding hands and blocking the entire sidewalk.. on a good note - if you get lost just ask someone we're actually very friendly just easily annoyed when we're trying to get somewhere and people aren't aware of side etiquette

The bathrooms is the worst part about the city I think, I have gone here twice for day trips by train and finding any place to go pee is near impossible. On my second trip when I returned home is when I learned about the apps, although it does me little good because I don't have a smart phone lmao. I do enjoy visiting the city, I hope one day I get to spend more than a few hours here to really see things I keep missing out on.

You could use New York Hotels to go to bathroom. are if you near Time Square, you could use The Time Square Information Center. How I know live here.

I found Central Station toilets to be reasonable and free. In my recent trip I would always go through Central Station on the subway and change there. While there I would use the toilets. Also having a look at the wonderful Central Station!

Oh, hotels are a great place to go to if you need to use a bathroom. The Marriott near Times Square is fab. The Sheraton. The Hilton. Most large hotels have bathrooms where you can just go in and you don't need to know the code. The smaller hotels, not so much.

The "hot spot" of Times Square that I like to call, right on Broadway between 42nd and 41st streets and 7th ave turns into Broadway. Always crowded no matter what. I avoid that area when I am in the city. Great if you're a tourist though, but be prepared for big crowds in that area. No thanks....lmao!!

Another thing with toilets in establishments is that you must be a patron to use them. They are usually locked and require a key or a code. Pee in your hotel!
