review OS NYC near Chinatown
Thanks for posting a video about the merchant mariners.My father was one of the lucky ones who made it back.
My father was a Merchant Marine too ,he made it back,got married bought a house in Long Island,raised 4 daughters..
I love Elizabeth street garden, I go there quite often. So cool to see all these public clocks! With the one in Union Square on 14th st it's already 3, interesting to see that time is so important in Manhattan that artists feel the need to display its measurements in their creations.
😎😎 yes that garden seems so your style Mj!
Mary Jane -- I never lived in big cities but have visited a number of them, and the residents there always seemed so time conscious and they always struck me as being tired and exhausted due to the hectic pace of the city. So maybe that is why there are so many clocks. LOL
@@3069mark I think that’s part of the reason too :)
Oh my goodness! Hidden gems? Thanking you for exposing these unique locations and letting us know of a few of the more eclectic, beautiful spots to experience in Manhattan. Definitely will be visiting 2 of your mentions during my late summer visit.
Awesome video as usual John!
We loved that soldier memorial in battery park: we found it by chance!
Hope you’re going back to Puebla 🇲🇽 some day!
gracias
This channel is very unrated. Keep up the great work!
Jon, did you just say you were frolicking about? I don't know why that made me laugh so hard, still am😂. This was a really interesting video, thanks for taking the time to make it.
The Elizabeth St. Garden is one of my favorite places in the city. That legal battle has been going on for years. Hope the garden prevails. Check out the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral around the corner on Mulberry St. Couple of times a year, they bring in sheep to mow the church yard!
I always loved that garden on Elizabeth st. So relaxing and beautiful!
Thanks hope you’re well!!
Awesome! I will keep a lookup for those hidden gems while I visit NYC in June! thanks for the recommendations
Your content is always excellent!
Great content John. Thank you for all of these videos.
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow. I worked across the street from that weird digital clock above Starbucks and never even gave it a second thought! I can appreciate its uniqueness.
Love those hidden gems!
Gracias Senor Todd!
All your videos are wonderful...thank you..Moved from NYC 2001,planning to come back for a day of shopping...
What an awesome video Jon ! I'm looking forward to my visit to the Big Apple on Memorial Day weekend.
Sounds great!
Less than a month till I’m spending a week up there. So hyped.
I can’t wait to go to the new rooftop park at pier 57!
I have to check it out
The late David Bowie used to hang out occasionally in the morning in Elizabeth Street Garden. He lived around the corner on Lafayette.
Great video as always! I’m not against affordable housing, but I’d much rather see green space remain green space.
Off work unwell. These gems keep my spirits up. 👍
Feel better
Love your videos! Very helpful and informative.
This guy has given so many new ideas for my trip in may. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Jon! I really enjoyed this video!!! In Buenos Aires there is a beautiful garden like the Elizabeth Street Garden. It's called "Jardin botánico" (Botanical Garden). It was founded by a French-Argentinian landscaper called Carlos Thays😊.
Thanks for sharing!
@@HereBeBarr My pleasure!
The funny part is watching your hidden gems videos, I’m actually more excited for a trip to NYC to see the places & sights in the videos than things like the Statue of Liberty or Times Square.
I notice that cool clock when I was biking in that area. Super cool, especially at night
Oh my Jon you have done it again. A scent museum , only in New York how interesting indeed, have a question how did you and Ben pass a dumpling restaurant and not stop. That building clock is awesome. But I truly feel that sidewalk clock should be rescued and put in a museum or better yet in that hidden gem garden. Take and as always thanks for the entertainment
Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
Your videos are always useful and entertaining. Congratulations on the new good news as well!
It's hard to miss the clock - I noticed it when I occasionally worked downtown in the late 1970s - it was really hard to miss. Back then you couldn't look it up on line. I'm not even sure I knew it was a clock. I am associated (very remotely) with the developers who want to build in the Elizabeth St. garden. It is the politicians who desperately want this to be developed, not the developers. The pols talk a green game, but they also want low income housing (inhabited by more Democratic voters) more than open space.
Jon, do you think maybe you can make a couple videos of the different gardens and parks in NYC?
Just found your channel while doing research for my trip in 1 months. Best channel hands down for tips and tricks! You mentioned in a video I think about a mocktail bar? Can you make a family friendly bar video? I am bringing my cousin who is 20urs old so she is not quite old enough for the bars
Soho Sculpture Garden is very nice⭐️
Will look out for them on next visit 😊😊🇹🇹🇹🇹 Thanks
The little dog so darling
These definitely are things I would not find on my own! nice, Jon!
Thanks hope you're well!
Allan Reiner was an antiques collector and he created ESG from what was an abandoned dump site, with unwanted pieces he picked up from mansions undergoing renovations. Hence the unique pieces. He died May 2021. 🙏🏼 ESG is saved.
there's a similar collection behind the brooklyn museum including a sculpture from penn station rescued from a dump in new jersey
Smell art .. who knew !!!!
Thank you for sharing this video. Just recently started following. Do you have a videos on NYC dinner or entertainment cruises?
Never covered that actually!
The sculpture you thought was an NFT is actually the mascot of the Graduate Hotel on Roosevelt-Island :)
Hi there, I'm visiting for the first time in September. Just discovered that the NY Yankees are playing the Boston Red Sox on Thursday and Friday nights, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. I've already got tickets for the Jets game on the Sunday so can do either a night game or Saturday afternoon. Would you have any preference for an afternoon or night game?
Where’s the Starbucks with the clock located?
dude in the art gallery sounds exactly like bruno 😁
love you and your videos keep making more 💕🙂
All these videos are unbelievably helpful.
Many thanks for putting the time and effort into them.
🤣I swear the person in the oldfactory art gallery is unknowingly the true creator of the Bruno characters accent.
I'd be checking if Sacha Baron Cohen ever visited 😏
Hi do you do tours in New York?
I don’t. Just the videos
Love your videos. Always gives me one new thing to look for when I'm in NYC. The structure you though was an NFT is a FLYBOY by the artist Hebru Brantley. You should check out his art and the very strong messages he puts into them.
I know all but the 1st one..thanks Jon for the tour and insight...keep up your labor of love...and i have one that you don't know about...across from MSQ Park , 1 block south of where the former MSQ Garden was located...see if you can find it.
What is it?
@@HereBeBarr On the Appellate Division Courthouse at 27 Madison Ave," hidden away on the Northwest corner of the building, and rarely noticed, is a miniature memorial to the Holocaust. A column was added to the façade in 1990, this one covered in swirling flames. And at eye level, carved into the column is a representation of Auschwitz. Sculpted by Harriet Feigenbaum, the camp is shown from a bird’s-eye view, and details where the commandant’s house was and, more chillingly, the execution wall, torture chamber, gas chamber, and crematorium. The sculpture is based on an aerial photograph taken on August 25, 1944, by the 15th US Army Air Force; the implication from Feigenbaum being that the US knew of the camp’s existence and layout, but did nothing about it. The camp itself was liberated by the Ukrainian army in January of 1945. To further underline the point, around the carving is inscribed the words, “Indifference to Injustice… Is the Gate to Hell,” a message made more poignant given its placement on a court house."
@@HereBeBarr What do you think , Jon?
Manhattan Has 2 t's in it's spelling and pronunciation. Other than that I always LOVE your videos of ManhaTTan!! : )
“Awning on Chinese takeaway. Hasn’t changed since the 1980s, so you know it’s legit”.
Words to live by.
Nice video Jon. The compass on the clock reminded me of my subway impression. I thought a simple sign at each exit of the subway sure could use a simple arrow pointing north. Several times I exited a station, and just STOOD THERE trying to figure out which way to walk afterward.
Wow 😮
@@HereBeBarr it would certainly make the subway more tourist friendly. I wouldn't expect the locals to need it. Am I wrong? Isn't it disorienting to come of out of a station and not know which way is north?
"Affordable housing" of 4 million dollar one bedroom apartments
Great vid, Jon! Very interesting! NYC has so many interesting things about it. I think that tomdnyc covered that Merchant Mariners Memorial in one of his videos. Do you ever watch his channel? He is so funny! LOL. Makes me laugh just thinking about his funny stuff!
I know who Tom is yep!
@@HereBeBarr -- He sure is a character. I understand he is a professional / amateur comedian also. I love how he will slowly rise behind some object and then slowly go back down. He makes such funny faces sometimes. The man of a thousand faces! LOL. But don't feel left out, Jon, because I love you and your channel too. You do an awesome job on your videos too!
0:35 I see Anna Delvey opened an art gallery instead of a social club.. interesting 🤔
Hello,
love your videos. I will be visiting New York for the first time in May. I have booked a hotel in Astoria near Rossvelt Island to save money. I wanted to ask you if the area is safe at night and if you have any tips on how to get back from Manhattan safely and cheaply because the subway late at night looks scary. What about the boats from Rossvelt island?
I live on Roosevelt Island. You're defining "Astoria" very broadly. The subway should be fine up to 11:30 especially if you are a male over 5 foot 5 inches under the age of 70 and you seem to know where you are going. If your hotel is in Queens or Queensboro Plaza, you're probably OK. Just don't linger around purposelessly at very late hours. If your hotel is near a housing project, as a few are, I would be more cautious at later hours - after 3PM, especially if you look like you're right off the farm or from a Nordic country. My views are only opinions, not facts.
Nice
We head back in a few weeks. Everyone asks "what are you going to do?" I just say, "revisit sixteen years of my life".
What about bo de gas
Soap that smells like a brick sounds so strange. Sounds like something people might buy for an April Fool's joke.
Never heard of the Merchant Marines statue. That's so interesting how the statue disappears underwater depending on the tide.
That watch on the sidewalk looks very cool! I'm surprised there's not more people stopping and taking photos of it.
That's so sad that some people want to turn the garden into housing. I can understand the need for affordable housing in the city, but it would be a shame if they had to tear down the park to do so.
I though i saw you did a tour of a hotel staircase, maybe 5 flights that had graffiti. I can't find where it was again, hope you can help
Lower east side guide
the first one is my deutscher blutsbruder
I've been in that Starbucks and didn't notice the clock.
ahahaha
New Yorkers noticing things… there could be an elephant walking by and yet many will ignore that 😂
Charles boyle???

You keep wearing you mask 😷 I will get on with my life .

Whats the smell of the Philippines compare to nyc?
Ask Ben
@@HereBeBarr You've mentioned the philippines.
i don't have an opinion of this guy as i haven't watched enough of his videos, but dude, elizabeth street is not in soho.
Yessir
🥶A cold ⚾️ that doesn't stop talking🫂 catches pair look hair🤡 from 🕶 there’s 🕶.
Unfortunately I think developers will win this battle once again and another garden will be lost :/
"Affordable housing"... affordable for whom?
The clock you show on the building is creative, but the building is ugly.
ahaha
I don't know how to appreciate your humor. You insulted Philippines。
Boring
Perfect video Jon! Thank you for the great content!
My pleasure!
