    A narrated walk down Manhattan's Broadway from Times Square at 49th Street to 14th Street - Union Square. Broadway in Manhattan is one of the most popular streets in the whole world, featuring memorable sites such as Times Square, Union Square Park, the Flatiron Building, and Wall Street. I talk about everything from New Year's Eve preparations in Times Square, people asking for donations, retail stores, history facts, NYC tips and tricks, and locations of famous landmarks.

I'm now an older guy, handicapped with severe arthritis when prevents me from walking very far without intense pain ... being able to walk along with you down the city streets has been wonderful for me ... I get to experience this great city on my large sized screen from the comfort of my chair just as if I'm walking it myself ... God bless you sir for your fine work and commentary, it is very much appreciated.

    I can see why New Yorkers, in general, are slimmer than the majority of Americans. Because they walk a lot.

    I have just discovered your channel and I have now subscribed... two years late but hey, that's a lot of binge watching ;) Your narration is the highlight of your walking videos for me. I live over in the UK so I really enjoy listening to the commentary, it is well researched, educational and makes the entire tour very immersive, and the quality is amazing. Please keep them coming, they end my evening nicely, after a hard day at work I can escape to New York City without even leaving my chair ;)

    Good tour!
    Streets, gutters, and sidewalks look surprisingly clean. No litter or loose trash.
    Pedestrians there are adept at navigating past each other.
    I went to Times Square 12/31/71. No problem getting in or out, though there were attempted breakins of a few electronics stores on the way back to the port authority bus terminal. Alarms were sounding. TS was not tightly packed. Plenty of room to move around, and get close to the Triangle building. Crowd was reasonably well mannered, sober, and jovial.

I am living for these. I also am so intrigued by all of the walking. It seems very cultural to NYC. I’d have to get used to it, as we don’t walk at all in CA. I am tired just watching you!

    Went to Times Square a few weeks ago on a college trip and it was a remarkable experience. You gotta walk through it at night just to soak in the pure electricity.

    I worked in this area in 2016 we had the streets all torn up we put in all those silver metal post and all the new pavement tiles the post are designed to stop cars driving into pedestrians. it was a fun job because even tho I live in Manhattan i dont go to time square much.nice vid tho..
