I live in old bethpage which has old country road running through it. It's very long. Thanks for coming out to Long island. I'd like to leave Long island and go to Queens.
I grew up not too far far from there in Baldwin... I haven't been back to Long Island in 30 years, I keep telling myself to go up for a visit but I just love where I live too much... even for a visit.
You should do the same walk starting where you did, only this time head westbound along old country road, past the court houses and turn left on Franklin Avenue past County executive building, police headquarters, many county government buildings till you get to 7th street in Garden city turn west where you could see the famous Garden City Hotel, now that would be a nice walktalk video.
Wow! Old Country Road changed!!! ALOT!! The entrances and exits to Meadowbrook Pkwy changed, Glen cove road expanded out. The changes are incredible. There were changes happening in the mid 70s.,before that there was one strip mall before Roosevelt Field and Glen cove road. It had pier 1 imports. That was the only one. Anywhere. It was in carle place (Carl) past Roosevelt Field was fortunoff and orbachs past the racetrack which was demolished for stores I believe. I would have loved to see you tour Roosevelt Field. Many kids would go hang out at the mall on a Saturday..go by bus. The big building on the Southeast corner of Glen cove Rd and old country was a bank many times over and also a jeweler was there along with other offices. That was one thing I DID recognize!!!😂😂 can't believe how "concrete" everything is there now. SMH
@@thiscorrosion900 oh the diners. I loved my long island dinners!!! grew up in Suffolk county lived there 40 years great dinners in many towns there. Miss them and the ocean im in florida now. I have not been back in 14 years. I heard of some not good changes but if i could afford it i would still consider moving back. Idk
I've never been in america but i would like to visit N.Y.C.....i don't know i have so much feeling for this place.....i'm scared because when i be there it could be that i never wanna go back to austria. ;) Nice vid.
This brings back happy memories from my second time at ground zero whenI stayed at the Holiday Inn at 369 Old Country Road while working next to the (then new) Walmart somewhere up the road and to the right, can’t remember the address. I also remember hobbling across the crossing near the hotel with a broken toe! It would be cool to see it again. Bob H
A pedestrian's quick guide to locating yourself in the Tri State Area: How to know you're in Connecticut: You hear only a horn or two per hour. How to know you're in New York State: A horn for every intersection. How to know you're in New York City: A horn for every intersection followed by a chorus of others who aren't sure what the original horn was all about, but figured they shouldn't miss out on the action, whatever it was. How to know you're in New Jersey: See New York City, but it's much lower population density, so you're not sure where all the agita is coming from.
Hey, @Actionkid, I've discovered your channel like a month ago and I already love it. On this video you've passed by a restaurant called "Fogo de Chão". This is a restaurant chain from here, Brazil, mostly southern part of the country. It could be translated as something like "fire of the floor". It serves typical Brazilian barbecue, which is vastly different from American barbecue. It's nice to see a Brazilian restaurant around there.
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate this because we recently moved to Queens, near Nassau and I would like to move further east in a couple years. We do all our shopping in LI. Looking forward to your video on Roosevelt Field Mall
So cool to see an LI video on here! :) I would say come out East and do a walk video, but walking out here is basically impossible outside of trails and such.
You can take the Long Island railroad to either garden city stop ( in middle of town across from the garden city hotel ..on the homestead line ) or take the mineola line to mineola about 2 blocks from start of this vid )
Can you do a walk of Hempstead Turnpike from Belmont Park in Elmont to Hempstead bus terminal Hempstead Long Island just take the F to 169street and take the N 6 bus and get off at belmont park
You missed alot.. From the moment you started garden city was on the other side of old country road.. And The mineola court houses is actually on the garden city side of old country road ( right about where that garden city cop pulled out onto old country road.. That building with the flower store ( one old country road ) is mostly full of attorneys.. That strip mall is where mineola ends and carle place begins..and that is all part of the same strip mall..you spoke as though are different but it's one big strip mall ( country glen center ) The corner of country glen.. old country road..glen cove road and roosevelt field used to be the 3rd most dangerous intersection in the country... you think it is difficult to cross now...it was many times worse in the 80's ( the entire diner had to be moved about 10 further back off country road..to accommodate the newer much safer intersection Btw..Costco is Not the last strip mall.. About a mile further up is another.. right by 108 or 109 if I recal ( up past or near wantagh parkway) Ahh..been 20 years since you returned..I used to live there 40 years ago You make cars yield to you..the sidewalks aren't the greatest but are ok You changed sides of old country road..afraid and complaining the whole time.. If when you started the video..if you were instead on the garden city side...the sidewalks are far better ( maybe you wouldn't have complained so much..lol ) I wonder if that Boston market still has roaches ( yuck )
You complete the Northern Blvd walk all the way into Suffolk county, and link back to your 2017 Christmas walk in Queens :P 4:00 is the problem with LI downtown, suburbanites prefer to drive to places with big parking lots letting these small shops to dry.
Great vid - I live in carle place and grew up in Mineola - get pizza at the strip mall you passed. Interesting historical fact: Where you started your journey you were just across the street from where serial killer Joel Rifkin was pulled over and arrested for having a dead hooker in his truck.....he had a tail light out!
I have a couple of online friends who live on other parts of Long Island, and I think either of them would make great guest co-hosts for some of your live walks in that area, much like you've done twice in the City with the lovely and talented Mary Jane. One's named Ginger Bonner (find her on Facebook), who often walks along Jones Beach. Another is named Andrew Herzman, who's also posted videos himself on RUclips and lives in Farmingdale; perhaps he can show you around that area.
Hey bro! I haven't been here in a long time. Just before Christmas and your 100k. Exactly. How time flies. I noticed that you have a lot of streams now. What about 4K\60 videos? There are far fewer of them now. I just want to look at NY in maximum quality. I'm just asking) I'm here anyway) Cool channel!
This retail mile looks like so many cities in the US. City planners caving in to developers and quick sales tax dollars instead of demanding higher standards and being creative with retail and residential mixes.
Oii! You have a video that will talk about you, I left to watch the rest later and ended up losing. Do you know what it is? I have a lot of fun with you doing funny things. I'm learning English, I'm 63 years old. Understanding perfectly what you say, but that comedian who went to Dumbo with you, I didn't understand anything! I don't know if he talks too fast. The night videos are incredible, the sounds. Make one with showcases for soho, or where it's worth it. Kisses. Regina .Caçapava / São Paulo. Brazil
So Long Island is not in NYC? I get confused with these boroughs and other places🤣🤣 There must not be a speed limit on that street. Those cars were flying!!!
GulfCoastLady nope Long Island is it’s own entity with 2 counties; Nassau and Suffolk. Interestingly, Brooklyn and Queens, while located ON Long Island are boroughs of New York City. Traffic here is insane and people drive like nuts. Bleh, nothing interesting here!
Long island is simply a surburb of NYC and garden city and mineola is roughly 16 miles from Manhattan.. is Supposed to be less stressful.. what do you think, lol
The more wealthy famous people have places on the east end of long island .you could drive to the east end easily from there .where he is is basically middle class neighborhoods and businesses
OK Ken, not gonna lie to you. This is officially the most boring place I've ever seen. Reminds me about where I live, and thus not a place I'd ever pay money to visit.
Your videos calm me when I'm stressed out 😄
Time to grab a cup of coffee, sit back relax, and watch this video :)

I'm about to upload a video of where I am of walking in my town area. I'll say this walk and my walk look almost similar lol. Great Work AK!
Yeah, I'm gonna take my Go Pro to the Old Country Road...
I'm gonna film til I can't no more...
I have visited New York twice, but I have never been Long Island. Thank you so much 👍
As LI native, you should for sure come out sometime! Especially in the warmer weather and especially out East!
It's a really nice walk 👍👍

Since I see you’re doing videos in suburbs I’d love too see some videos in Westchester county like broadway or Boston post rd

Minutes 41 : 14 on your left. The building used to be California Pizza is closed for good
How fun to see suburbia. Is there a subway that goes there ? I didn't see a station.
The Long Island Railroad goes there

Cool 😎 video
Village speed limit is 30mph, I thought it was 55mph watching the cars go by.
Haha... I used to do mostly 50 on old country road..was and is typical

Went you make a left on Glenn Cove Road, like 5 minutes there are trips mall # Manado Buffet # Japanese. Is closed for good. March 2 nd.
Really
What about that Lighting store ?
16:20 "Ah good, I have a walk signal" assuming Mr. Caddie doesn't veto that. 🙄
well done
How did you get back home? Bus? It does seem so different walking here compared to the big city. This is way out in the country :)
I took the bus back to New York City
L.I. Railroad is easier I think

Ha! First like and first view! Hooray!
I know this area very very well.
The Action Kid in peril from reckless suburban drivers. His 🚶 , a cautious one.
Two Lanes coming and going..sure alot of traffic....busy roadway..no people walking..
Few people in L.I. walk
Those who do..often get harrassed by the cops
Imagine how complicated it is to cross those streets in a wheelchair
Indeed
41:50 but what we all really want to know is; do they still have TP? 🤔 😬 🤣
Good moreing 🙋♂️
