Following you for quite some years now, loved every video. But this one was very special. Every story, every pipe drew me further back in history and made me want to hear more. You becoming honory member of the club..., wow! Chilling! Well done you👍🏻❤️
An actual documentary - bridging time, history, politics and contemporary challenges & changes. Very well done. Nicola, you've found your path and your voice.
What a treat! As always, it's not just the video itself that is so special, but all the extra work that you add to the production of the video. The extra music and historical footage were such a lovely extra on top of an already amazing video!
Congratulations Nicola, this is an honor that you deserve. You are "The Pipe Lady" for sure. So glad you got to see a bit of our country. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.
All I can say, Nic, is simply splendid! You outdid yourself bringing us to Keen's and a trip back to early New York. Bravo to all who helped make it happen.
Nicola, This was AMAZING!! I am genuinely very happy for you getting to tour Keens and then leave as an honorary member! Thanks so much for filming your adventures and sharing them with us.
Wow, I would never have guessed there was someplace in the USA that has as large a collection of clay pipes! I will not be going to New York but seeing this former pipe club and now a restaurant with you was a real treat! Thank you for the visit! I still like the way you get your pipes! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Absolutely brilliant! Nicola, you are a true "Thames-mudlarking-historical clay pipe making" Ambassador. Please keep up the GREAT work that you do. Your videos are always educational, artistic, and entertaining. I look forward to them... please keep 'em coming!
Dear Nicola, you have earned your pipe at Keen's Steakhouse! Such a wonderful homage to the history of pipes there from my favorite mudlarking historian! 🇺🇲🇬🇧
This video is simply outstanding, Nicola. Thank you for showing us a unique part of American culture in a superbly produced video. CONGRATULATIONS on your membership in the Keens Pipe Club. I can't think of anyone more deserving! 👋🏼🙋🏽♀️✌🏽
What. A. Place ! A wonderful video , I loved every second . I am so delighted that our Nicola , Queen of the pipes , has been rightly honoured by Keens . This was fabulous , thank you so much x
Congratulations on becoming a honorar member of the Pipe Club! What a amazing history that place has. I've never been in N.Y. but if I make it there one day will visit the Keens to see the pipe you have signed Nicola! Hugs!
I LOVE how you wore your typical striped thames hunting shirt for your lunch and tour at Keen's! Maybe all the good vibes of all those pipes will get absorbed by your striped and help you on future jaunts!
Ok Nicola, you get an A+ for this production. It looks like your New York trip was fantastic and exciting. in so many ways. I never know what surprises I'll find when I push that start button from another Tideline video. Thank you for sharing your New York trip with tid bits of your adventures.
What a fabulous episode Nicola! It was amazing to learn about Keens longstanding history and Bonnie couldn't have been more perfect a spokesperson for them.
Thank you for sharing such a great place of history with us. Also thank you for sharing the honor bestowed to you in becoming a Keen's member. What a grand memory for you.
Nicola, what a wonderful video...NYC, pipes, and Keen's. Your honorary membership was such a nice surprise -- glad they recognized you in that fashion. Love your little pipe, too. Thank you for the tour of all their pipes and the various places within the restaurant. Hope you, Richard, and Emma enjoyed your lunch. Truly, something to remember about New York.
Oh, Nicola! I am so happy that you took my advice and went to Keens (Chop House, as it was called when I went there)! I hope you had a Tasty lunch, and had an opportunity to sample at least a chop or one of their rare single malt scotches. Could you *feel* the history?! I told you there would be a *few* pipes! It's a shame one can't smoke their pipe at the bar, as I did. They would bring your pipe on a platter with a little white serving bowl of tobacco and a pretty white box of matches that was labeled with "Keen's" in gold lettering. A chop, an ale, a pipe, and perhaps a single malt made for the best afternoon in one's life. :) Your tour was beautiful. I am so glad you were welcomed and made an honorary member! You will be there forever now, represented by your pipe!
Thank you for your lovely memories of Keens! That does sound like a heavenly afternoon I must admit. That whiskey though!! And yes, I was very honoured x
Wow!! Who would ever think a steakhouse would be a clay pipe establishment and display as many as possible. Thousands of personal pipes owned by famous people of every type and also the every-day man on the street, were given equal consideration. Its very cool that they made you a member and gave you your own little pipe to take home and your personal pipe kept at Keens. It was great you gifted them several special pipes from England and you paid for the lady 'pipe warden' to have a membership in that pipe organization. I wish I lived in Engand so I could hunt for my own clay pipe! Thanks, Nicola for taking us along to Keens Steakhouse!
Such an amazing, breath taking place, thanks for bringing this place to our attention, so much history and the host bonny was such a nice lady, loved the exchange of pipes at the end of vid
Simply wonderful! Thanks for the history you have shared and what a great place to explore! If the walls could talk, but they practically do with all that memorabilia! Thank you to your gracious host Bonnie.
Fabulous video, lovely music and Congrats on becoming an honorary member of Keens pipe society, you know you are the Queen of the Thames pipes and finding them, old New York was so wonderful!! Glad you got to go there!!! ❤🇺🇸🇬🇧
What a delightful and interesting video!. I had no idea that the clay pipe was something used in the states as well as the UK. I'd never thought about it actually. Congratulations on your membership in a part of New York and US history! Thanks
Nicola ,Welcome to America and Congratulations on your Honorary Clay Pipe Membership to Keen’s Steakhouse !!! They should be honored to have you as a Member !!!!!!!!
I have been following you for a little over two years and each time I watch your videos, I am in awe of the work you do. Not only the camera work and editing some of the best videos I've seen on RUclips, but the trips you take us on with the research you do.🥰 How fitting that the "Pipe Queen" not only visits, but becomes an honorary member of the pipe club. From what I know of you, this must have been quite a thrill for you.😊 Thank you again for sharing your wonderful videos with us.❤
And the Oscar goes to....Nicola White. Loved the archival footage. Even saw my alma mater which was on the top floor of the Flat Iron building, and had my dinner on the roof. Thanks, Nicola. Was waiting for this one. Best to you, Jane, Philadelphia
I thoroughly enjoyed this video; the music was hauntingly beautiful and a perfect companion to the images. Nicola, you are an extremely talented artist on so many levels 👏 I am glad to have discovered your channel as it is something I will always treasure!
I've visited NYC twice and had never even heard of such a thing Nicola - This was absolutely a splendid video you put together here! One of your very best. Keep up the good work! Congrats on becoming an honorary member of Keen's! How fantastic!
That was SO worth the wait, Nicola! I've eaten at Keens a bunch of times, and have always sat in awe of the history there. Thanks for bringing it to life!
I had no idea that pipes like that were still being manufactured. We saw them a few years ago and they are available for sale in colonial Williamsburg. This was an interesting story. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed the history of Keens and it's pipes. New York is full of surprises! I'm so happy they made you a member of that exclusive club Nicola! 😊❤️
I so enjoyed your visit to my home city. I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit to Keens restaurant. I’ve never been there so I especially enjoyed your tour. Lots of love from Diane in upstate New York.
Nicola I'd never associate you with Meryl Streep ,Joe DiMaggio or Theodore Roosevelt but now I do .What a wonderful episode, I bet you never thought you'd be in such esteemed company when you recovered your first clay pipe from the Thames mud. Congratulations Nicola this was a fabulous visit and its good to see our darling Mudlarker so honoured. I know you were thrilled ,your smiling face showed that in spades and I am too it was very special. Thank you so much for sharing the occasion . We have on several occasions visited New York during the Christmas season to see a couple of shows and the Christmas lights, so next time Keen's will definitely be on our agenda .Two wonderful vlogs in succession ,Can we hope for a vlog on your presentation to the Thames Festival that would be yet another Nicola occasion. Cheers and best regards from me and Canada X
Hello Ladies, This is the most historic and heart felt piece I have had the pleasure to view. Thank you for taking your viewers on a trip of this historic proportion. My heart is over flowing with the wonder of all that were lucky in life to grace your establishment. Heart warming and wonderful part of history. Thank you again. To share is to care. Beth Marshall
Just ran across your channel and it is amazing! I have seen a few mudlark videos from others, yours however rates well beyond. Keep up the fantastic work.
What a special moment I got all misty eyed when you became a Honorary Keens Pipe member Congratulations Nicola Hoorah! Thank you for taking us on your journey what a wonderful video xoxo
Wow, very moving! Great job Bonnie and Nicola! You know, I do find it interesting for generations my maternal grandparents grew tobacco, striped it, dried it (hung it) and took it to market in rural Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Indiana. I have found land records. You never know maybe the tobacco used was from my family.
Wow. What a great video. Loved it. It is the depth of your passion for history and knowledge that makes your videos so interesting. As an American I never knew this history. Thank you for sharing this and your interview with the lovely woman at Keens.
What a fantastic video! Loved every single minute. I can imagine you were in heaven at Keens, all that history all those pipes 😊 loved all the little clips of old footage in between too. Just brilliant 👌
Nicola this is so very cool! What a marvelous post! Congratulations on your membership into the Keen's pipe club, you certainly deserve it! I loved this video!
Amazing! That's a great video -- a real documentary -- excellent! I did not know about Keens until you brought it to our attention! The tradition of how important the clay pipes are in Keens' history and the famous people who have dined/smoked there -- great history!!! So -- without a touch of mud you have shown us all a great bit of US and UK history! Thank you!!!! P.S. Great use of music and vintage movie/newsreel clips!!!
Nicola.. So deserving, of being an honorary member of Keens. And to have your own pipe, signed by you, and kept in perpetuaty? Can only imagine, how you would have felt at the time.
Hi Nic I am a long time fan, but I seldom ever comment. But this was a fantastic video. It was so very special. Thank you so very much for adding to my British and New York historical heritage and knowledge base. What a great reminder that, as you keep saying, a simple clay pipe can represent so many deep and manful connections like so many overlooked things in life.
What a wonderfully historic place. A great treat to come along on your visit, thankyou for sharing Nicola. Really enjoyed listening and watching this. Xx
WOW!! WOW!!! Thank you for this incredible Tour and frankly, HISTORIC VIDEO of Keen's Steakhouse. Truly fascinating. and P.S.! Congratulations on your Honorary Membership - quite an Honor indeed!
Nicola! I did not know that the USA had so much pipe history in NY! Wow, what a beautiful video on our history of pipes. So glad you were able to visit Keens. Congrats on being an honorary member! I would love to go there in the future! 🤩🤩🤩
What an amzing Bar that is, filled with so much history xx Thank you for showing us this wonderful place xx Hope the food was as good as the pipes xx What an honour to become a member xx
WoW, this video made me cry!🥲 I am so happy for you that they made you a member at Keen’s! What an honour. Great history and footage Nicola….You must have been right in your element there(and I’ll bet the steak was really good!😋🥩) Thank you so much for sharing! God Bless you….🙏🏼♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
Amazing Nicola! First for me hearing about the Restaurant and it was glorious but can only imagine it in its past. The history it has seen...if those walls could talk! Thank you for taking us along with you on your journeys. It gives this old women such joy. Thank you again, Mary
Wow!! This is fantastic! What a spectacular video, so much history. thank you so much for taking is with you. Nicola, this has just been such a wonderful treat!
I loved this. Never knew there was a place in NY like this. Loved the history behind all those pipes. Congratulations on getting your own pipe and honorary member. The music and old footage was great to see to.
Nicola that’s an amazing amount of clay pipes, that is a huge amount of smokers!!! No wonder smog was so prevalent in the past ha ha!!! Another history lesson for us all so thank you for that🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍XX
Wow! Great! ALL of it! However, the skyline didn't contain the Empire State bldg. Us New Yorkers ALWAYS look for it when we see a shot like this! Still superb!!! Thank you so much and God bless. Stevie, QUEEN Creek, AZ
Nicola, you and Bonnie did such a fantastic job with this tour of Keens. The history was so fascinating. I so agree with the person who commented earlier about your RUclips content quality is the reason why they choose RUclips over watching TV. Thanks so much! 🥰
What a Great Adventure Nicola! And of course The Tideline Art Pipe Queen of the Thames would naturally be an honorary members at Keenes! What a Super place with so much history and now complete with your pipe! Congratulations! And I’ll bet there are many many more pipes waiting on the foreshore of the Thames! Great footage and music too! Kind Thanks and Many Blessings with Love, Light, Peace and Joy of Being! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
That was so fascinating! I enjoyed it so much, thanks Nicola. So interesting and gosh Bonnie was just lovely, you could see she was so invested in the stories and the history & really enjoyed telling you all about it.
Nicola, Thank you for taking us with you to enjoy this marvelous pipe dream. If there was anyone who deserved a honorary membership it is you the Queen of pipes across the pond. Well done!!! Your membership pipe would look splendid in the little wooden box that you found mudlarking the Thames. Take care and stay safe. ✌
Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm so glad you've enjoyed accompanying me on this visit. Love Nicola xox
Following you for quite some years now, loved every video.
But this one was very special. Every story, every pipe drew me further back in history and made me want to hear more. You becoming honory member of the club..., wow! Chilling!
Well done you👍🏻❤️
Clay pipe heaven! Thank you for sharing, what a wonderful visit ❤️
Just WOW! This made me speechless. Love you Nicola!
That song at the end sent the whole experience into another diemension. That was thrilling!
Bet you have to win the lottery to be able to afford a meal there.
You've hit this one out of the park Nicola, what an absolute treasure, this is why I don't watch tv. You just don't get content like this.
Thank you! That's so kind of you to say x
Totally 100percent agree with you
@@catherine2711 Same here.
Tv shows are junk these days, thankfully we have Nicola and others like her on RUclips to not only entertain, but educate us as well.
I can think of no better person to be an honorary pipe club member than Nicola White, the Queen of Pipes! Congratulations Nic!
An actual documentary - bridging time, history, politics and contemporary challenges & changes. Very well done.
Nicola, you've found your path and your voice.
Thank you Lisa. That is so lovely of you to say x
What a treat! As always, it's not just the video itself that is so special, but all the extra work that you add to the production of the video. The extra music and historical footage were such a lovely extra on top of an already amazing video!
Thank you. I so enjoyed sourcing that old footage. I got quite lost down lots of rabbit holes of vintage footage of New York. xx
Congratulations Nicola, this is an honor that you deserve. You are "The Pipe Lady" for sure. So glad you got to see a bit of our country. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.
All I can say, Nic, is simply splendid! You outdid yourself bringing us to Keen's and a trip back to early New York. Bravo to all who helped make it happen.

I so agree with the person who commented earlier about your RUclips content quality is the reason why they choose RUclips over watching TV.
Thanks so much! 🥰
Thank you so much Adele x
Another great video Nicola...thanks for sharing and bringing us along on your New York journey!
Incredible find for you to take us on. I would never had known about it otherwise. Thanks very much Nicola! You are the BEST! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you!
Thank you for that historical adventure 🎉💝
What a Great Adventure Nicola! And of course The Tideline Art Pipe Queen of the Thames would naturally be an honorary members at Keenes! What a Super place with so much history and now complete with your pipe! Congratulations! And I’ll bet there are many many more pipes waiting on the foreshore of the Thames! Great footage and music too! Kind Thanks and Many Blessings with Love, Light, Peace and Joy of Being! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Thanks for the tour!
That was so fascinating! I enjoyed it so much, thanks Nicola. So interesting and gosh Bonnie was just lovely, you could see she was so invested in the stories and the history & really enjoyed telling you all about it.
WOW, I absolutely LOVE this place! The history and the pipes!! Fantastic Nicola. Thank you x Teresa 🇦🇺❤
I'm so glad they made you an honorary member at Keene's, I enjoyed this so much!
Thanks Mary!
Not sure how you manage it Nicola. You always keep your videos so interesting and wonderfully entertaining. Thank you.
Thank you Kate!
This was so touching! Beautiful editing, use of music and vintage clips. I had a tear in my eye at the end.
Nicola,
Thank you for taking us with you to enjoy this marvelous pipe dream. If there was anyone who deserved a honorary membership it is you the Queen of pipes across the pond. Well done!!! Your membership pipe would look splendid in the little wooden box that you found mudlarking the Thames. Take care and stay safe. ✌
