      Tom, you are without peer in providing accurate information. And I stress the word "accurate". There are a lot of walking tours of NYC on RUclips. However the information which they state as being fact is often crazy wrong. So you are The Man for detailed, correct information. You're funny& entertaining as well. By the way, please do not use God's Holy Name in vain. You have a wide audience. Thanks Tom.

    Lovely documentary on my favourite city. First visit was October 1986, flew out with Pan Am into JFK. Saw Genesis at Madison Square Garden, and fell in love with the place. Been to New York 15 times from England. Love to walk everywhere, 🚶‍♂️ stopping off at the B&H Dairy for Yankee Bean Soup and Challa Bread.....mmmmm.
    Coming over from England, I fly into Newark, and get the train to Penn Station. Stay in and around the Chelsea area. Love going to gigs at the Garden, Radio City, Beacon and the Bowery Ballroom.
    Watching the New York Rangers and the Yankees play
    Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, found lovely places to eat, and amazing book shops
    What I love about New York, is it's 24/7, you can walk everywhere, sells my favourite brew, Miller MGD, the champagne 🍾 of all beers
    Planning my next trip for March 2024, my birthday. Stay safe New Yorkers 🌎🌎

Like the explanation of the term Broadway and why Times square is times square and the place for New Years countdown.

    When I visited NYC 3 times, I took the Greyhound from Toronto, Ontario to the Port Authority Bus Terminal on West 42nd St., I would walk around late at night and early in the morning by myself and not once have I been scared or ever bothered by any one in fact, I found NYC to be safe. Sometimes I would stay overnight to save on hostel costs.
