Concise, informative, and entertaining. The fact you don't have 10x the amount of subs, when people who eat laundry detergent have millions, is a sure sign that we are culturally bankrupt.
I went to the elementary school that is physically connected to the Museum of the City of New York. I had a beautiful childhood. We used to have our classes in central park when the weather was nice. If we were studying anything that had a relevant exhibit in one of the museums, we'd have a class trip to the museum instead of just studying in class. Diversity in the neighborhood was celebrated, and it was drilled into us to grow in knowledge of different cultures in order to understand people. The folks I've kept up with are all open minded, well read, well traveled adults. I don't know what it's like there now, but I'm very proud of growing up in East Harlem. Your video made me smile.
A very good job in singing in Spanish.😊 Thanks for sharing
Im puertorrican. Retired school teacher. Only visited NY in the summers back in the 60s. ❤NY. The city of my dreams( not come true) i have lived in Fl since 1979. I enjoyed your presentation.
Love the new look Tom!
Great tour. I grew up here and still reside. Enjoyed your brief Puerto Rico history too, as I am Puerto Rican. My parents came to NY in 1965. Both didn't finish their education on the Island. So it was exciting when i graduated from High School, then College and had my own business. I returned to East Harlem to care for my elderly parents since they were never interested in leaving. They made friends and a life for themselves here.
I especially love your singing. Seriously, very informative with a humorous satirical slant. I Enjoy it.
Thank you for enlightening us and for the tour!
14:29 I remember when they refurbished the mural back in the late 90s. I was living on 100st at the time. I actually knew a kid in the mural as an adult. He’s in the white shirt behind the girl on the bike. He grew up on that street.
👍😺What's your cats name Tom? Thanks for the excellent tour!
My parents were born and raised in Spanish Harlem. Italian on my dads side Puerto Rican on my moms side. Then moved to the upper east side.
Anither great video! Thanks for all you do!
Keep doing your thing
Yes, I learned loads too & from all your vids! A nice haircut & white t to keep COOL. But you're always COOL . . .
Love the tour👏
Interesting as always 😊
Nice haircut!👊🏼
Wow, looking good!
I LOVED this presentation. My family lived in East Harlem at a street named Sylvan Place which no longer exists. They were Spanish and arrived pretty early in the 1900's. I really liked your impression of the "typical" museum goers which resemble me. BTW, you look really handsome when you shave. Don't get too skinny.
I told a woman the other day to not get too fat. It wasn't received well. Got a lecture on how we're not supposed to comment on people's bodies
I kept expecting to see myself walking through the background 😅 I enjoyed seeing my old neighborhood
ill be back in nyc two weeks from now

Nice one Tom, and was it 3 phones you scored? Bonus! 🤙
I HATE THAT I MISSED YOU IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!!....YOU WERE NOT TO FAR FROM WHERE I WORK AND LIVE!!...COOL VIDEO, AS PER USUAL!!😉👌❤❤❤
Amazing Marc Antony recall
Marc Anthony, you funny you funny😂😂😂 we will be a party🎉🎉🎉
Great video of my neighborhood Tom. If I had seen you yesterday at Pleasant Avenue @116th Street, I would have greeted you. FYI, there were attempts to rename the neighborhood as "Upper Yorkville" or "Spaha", but it was vetoed on the spot. I am a long-life native of this neighborhood.
Wow i didn't know that i was born & raise on 116 & 117 st. & park ave on the downtown side in the late 50's early 60's today is my b-day 6 -20-56
1:18 a good friends cousin was a mobster from that neigborhood they wrote a book about him the pleasant avenue connection
Yes I think you provide more history than El Museo del Barrio! Not too shabby! Not sure about your Tito or Marc impersonations though. Glad you didn’t attempt to sing La India. I give this video a B+
If they do a movie on Ted Bundy sign up 😂
Nice to see Tom is in his "Rick Grimes just got to Alexandria and got re-civilized" era of his Covid Apocalypse hair and beard styling.
Another great video. And we get to see your handsome face!
Germany as with Italy was fragmented until 1871 when it too became a country.
Sharp new haircut. The new Corporate gig must be working out.
We need a "History Lover" graphic for the person at 9:20.
Now I know, Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say.
Geraldo Rivera was a young lord
Tooom 😃

Poor General Slocum, the thing he is nowadays known for being the disaster striking the ship commemorating him, but not longer what he was actually commemorated for.

Layback is better.
Ze Germans !!!
Just a question from a fan Tom: Are you the same guy that does stand-up on the NY subway disguised as Jesus? Asking for a friend....

You know what? Crack IS whack.
I’m sorry, no amount of sugarcoating can hide the fact that East Harlem is still the preeminent shithole in Manhattan. Especially 125th and Lexington.
LoL
Did I just see you encourage a history hater!?
Not subscribing to Tomdnyc is wack!
Why did you choose to center on Puerto Rico and not Mexicans, Italians, or even Black culture? 116th Street is a melting pot of history, food, music, ethnicities and you showed a broken down market.
You focus on how Puerto Ricans can't afford anything so they succumb to graffiti. Not all Hispanic people fall into that painted stereotype of the "underprivileged."
Not sure why you go to East Harlem to focus on some church that was held hostage and using statistics to make some kind of message of how bad blacks and latinos are because they are drug addicts.
Why didnt you provide any postive display of East Harlem?
Why didn't you provide any helpline for drug addicts or people who are dealing with loved ones who are addicted?
You might be able to read online history lessons but this video is more about yourself with goofy pranks and mocking gangster signs than the current people, their culture, and how they are thriving or suffering in East Harlem.
Bottomline, you had the chance to show a lot, but chose to show next to nothing but yourself talking to the camera and goofing off, discard trash, and nothing but negativity.
But what do I know.
