    I started following you right before our trip to NYC 2 weeks ago. We did your Central Park walk in reverse after visiting the MET. I’m glad I wrote it out! We had no idea how overwhelming Central Park could be but your map made it fun and easy. Watching your videos is inspiring me to plan our next trip there next year! Thank you!

      Yeah, Central Park is massive. It’s not some small park like you see in other cities. My personal favorite time in Central Park is in the winter with snow.

      You can learn stuff that many locals don’t know. Many locals have never seen anything in New York except a local pizza shop and the usual essentials for daily living.

      I'm here in 2024. Been here since I was born in 1975. I'll be the tour guide for the hoods of NYC. That's where the real fun is at! Can't just stay downtown. Gotta come uptown too to spots like the Apollo on 125th and other spots in upper Manhattan where the food is good. Pizza is good but you gotta get a chopped cheese from a Bodega! You gotta experience walking through the projects and just taking a seat on the benches. You wanna experience the real NYC you gotta get outta the bright lights sometimes and go where it's a lil gritty!

    Watched the video AFTER our NY-trip 😂, but it seems that we did it not too bad during our 9 days 😊. I absolutely agree to what you say about the Tenement museum. What an unexpected jewel, we had such a great guided tour there and it was amazing to hear and see so much immigration history in such a personal way. At the end of the tour it was almost as if we knew the family we followed listening to their Story told by the excellent guide ❤

    A "sports game" had me laughing. Not all sports are called games (tennis match for example at the US Open in Flushing Meadows comes to mind). "Sporting event" sounds broader and better. But great video, love your energy and your information. Thank you and cheers. 🤩💜☺ And I love that you mentioned the Tenement Museum.

  • @jf0817bl

    I just found this and wanted to view it since I'm in NYC a lot, and wondered if I am missing something. I must say that I go to the 9/11 memorial, but I have never been in the museum. That day was so horrific and embedded in my psyche that I don't think I could emotionally handle the museum. Maybe someday I'll be able to settle myself from the horror and do so. Thanks for your video.

Can we get that kind somewhere in or around Central Park?

    I stopped watching when she said, "The Big Apple." No New Yorker would even think of calling it that.

      Well, thank you for taking the time to boost my engagement with a comment! I will tell you, gotta mix it up or else you're be sick of variations of "The city" "NYC" "New York" and "New York City." And... the cool New Yorkers actually will occasionally say The Big Apple.
