Thank you so much Tom for mentioning the Red Hook projects in this video! I grew up there and I was hoping that you would include it in your talk! Can you do a video on Franklin Ave in Crown Heights? Would love to see and hear your take on that neighborhood!
Same! I came to see the old neighborhood and hear about the projects. My grandmother was from here on Dwight Ave and my mom and her sister, Judie and Sonia were raised here in the 60s and 70s. I grew up coming to visit from the Bronx in the 80s till early 90s. Always loved the view of the Statue of Liberty from grandmas window and watching the Macys 4th of July spectacular 🎇🎆🗽⛴⚓️🛳🚢⛵️🛥🌅
Best NYC tour guide in the city for the city. Tom’s busting with information about everywhere in NYC. You get all the RUclipsrs together and they still wouldn’t know more than TDNYC... we need to spread the word and get Tom more followers. Live video soon I hope 🤞
Red Hook was a very rough area in the 70’s,80’s, and into the 90’s,I grew up in Boreum Hill and used to go to the public pool back then in Red Hook . Changed alot since then , gentrification definitely a big part of that . If you get a chance , go check it out . Big art scene down there.
I like that you're including interviews in your videos again, and it's nice to see one of the less hipster parts of Brooklyn 😊 Ignore the negative comments from viewers. You're doing your thing, and that's just fine! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
I'm very serious , Tom ...your videos are so good !! Hats off to Phil's excellent videography as well ... You guys rock !!! Y'all are hands down , the very best on RUclips!! Not just the tours you do , but the overall atmosphere you create ..the history lessons , the "seamless" blending of what connects these neighborhoods to each other and the rest of the city , it's very very entertaining... I really don't know why you don't have millions of viewers ! Love you guys ! 👍❤️
This is my neighborhood! Thanks for doing us proud. If you’re in the area, visit Black Flamingo on Van Brunt for coffee and Baked (also on Van Brunt) for amazing pastries.
Tom knows his stuff and Phil does too. I will be visiting Red Hook tomorrow with my wife and this video gives me a real hard start on the day. Glad I found out it.
I went to the elementary school down the street from Defonte’s P.S 27 you can see it when you turned left on Columbia to go to Defonte’s. I love my neighborhood ❤️ I was born in Red Hook Projects. I'm proud of where I'm from. 🥰
You didn’t go get some meatballs, or a piece of furniture, or ride the IKEA Ferry? The IKEA cafeteria has one of my favorite views of Lady Liberty, haha. Thanks, Tom! ❤️🗽
I study Planning in college atm, your videos help me so much ! seeing different effects and theories in real life is amazing & I also hope to go to New York soon!
As a person who lives in Red Hook I think you should also get the perspectives of the people that this in the area. What you have shown is the perimeter of red hook. There are many great things on the inside as well. The neighborhood is very gentrified but we have made the best of it. For what you have shown you have done a great job.
Thank you so much for this video! I just stumyupon your work here on RUclips and I’m officially hooked😉Subscribing and can’t wait to sit back and enjoy all your videos☕️📺you’re amazing, keep up the great work🎥🎞🎬📽🙏🏽
Hi Tom, can you do a vlog on Harlem, as I visit there in 2015,and would love to know more about the area,the history, Harlem renisenice etc. As your guides on new York boroughs are so interesting. 👍🏿
Nice one Tom! Long time viewer first time commenter. Coming back to the city very soon and Red Hook is def on my list to check out first hand. Great job as always mate
@@golferpro1241 Would you believe I've never heard of Meelin ! I just google it there to find out where it was. It's a similar distance from Meelin to Cork as it would from southern tip of Manhattan to Stamford. From what I have read it's a small village ! So many beautiful villlages like that in Ireland that retain the rural vibe. Unfortunately many are suffering as a lot of the young have migrated to bigger cities to seek employment .
Oh I could tell you so much about there, Carroll gardens, and Park Slope! My grandpa was a stevedore along the docks up until 1965. My dad was a Merchant Marine and my mom worked at bushy ship yard.
Tom, as always great video! I visited Red Hook for the first time last Summer and checked out Sunny's, Hometown BBQ and Red Hook Lobster, but you have given me a reason to go back, I need to check out DeFonte's! Thank you for the great history, love your tours!
Getting better and better. Loved the interviews, especially the one with David at the Waterfront Museum. IKEA once was really big in Germany, they still are, but they seem to have lost a bit of their „hipness“ and appeal. Still have to admit that I own some stuff bought there. Also, another nice example of hostile architecture at the end, you „resting“ on that bench. Great video! Cheers!
Great video . Red hook is the 2nd biggest project housing after Queens Bridge housing. Used live there about 17 yrs ago, still have family members there. A gold mine neighbor ,everybody wants in now
wonderful as always. I learn so much, I tell my friends I would not go to new york without checking if you have a vid about where we plan to go. If we ever plan to go again. I really miss new york.
This is fantastic, love NYC and stayed in Brooklyn last time we visited. often travel back on Queen Mary which leaves from the Red Hook area and Covid willing should be calling in twice for the day later in the year..straight to Sunny's bar and the Key Lime Pie shop!

My guy Tom is the best tour guide around.

We were ALL crying at the end of this video...tears of joy...because Tom is the BEST!
Best tour guide I’m hooked

My brother lived in RH in the 90’s on Delevan street and I would much rather have what it was back then compared to now.
You need merch...t-shirts with "OMG as the Kids say" on them!
and Sick Plug, Baby!
Yes.

Love the history (and your sarcastic sense of humor)
Your videos are the only content on youtube, where I feel like I want to smash the like button numerous times in a single video.
Thank you Tom! My husband and I are up in age...will never be able to travel to the places you show. Love all your videos!
Man, I gotta check out Sunny's sometime.
They used to have bluegrass jams a couple of times per month. Highly recommended even if it's not your style of music.
Thank you for taking me back. I was raised in the Red Hook projects, loved Coffey Park!

Its true my life is pretty boring. But, the video on Red Hook Brooklyn has got to be one of the best videos I've ever seen. I'm glad I found you!
I went to the elementary school down the street from Defonte’s P.S 27 you can see it when you turned left on Columbia to go to Defonte’s. I love my neighborhood ❤️ I was born in Red Hook Projects. I'm proud of where I'm from. 🥰
Tone the bar owner seems so genuine :) I smiled just hearing her talk
You didn’t go get some meatballs, or a piece of furniture, or ride the IKEA Ferry? The IKEA cafeteria has one of my favorite views of Lady Liberty, haha. Thanks, Tom! ❤️🗽
Yes they do. I miss going to IKEA‼️The pandemic is holding me back from visiting again with my family🥲💯

When the mask drops, we all chill 😎 ... whoa & Phil's back!! Key lime pie is incredible. Hype for another Tom tour!
Excellent, Tom! I really want that Italian sandwich now. I love the vibe in Red Hook. It feels like a whole different world.

What a nice walk! The place is so nice! New York City is such a lovely place to live in! Thank you so much for sharing this! :)
I'm from Cork in Ireland Tom ! Can't say your accent impression was very good but the tour as always very enjoyable !
I am sure he knows that but then accents are very hard in any language....😊😆😄

Another great Tour, thanks for keeping us going during Lockdowns and Pandemics when we can't travel
Tom, as always great video! I visited Red Hook for the first time last Summer and checked out Sunny's, Hometown BBQ and Red Hook Lobster, but you have given me a reason to go back, I need to check out DeFonte's! Thank you for the great history, love your tours!
Potatoes and egg sandwichs at DeFonte's are amazing!!!

Welcome back Phil
Another very interesting video from Tom! Also in that area is the Red Hook circuit where they do Formula E 😀
Love your tours, you are the best. It's only a matter of time before you get those sponsors.
Love your videos, more, more, more.
Another charming, informative tour. You're the best Tom. Thanks!
This is great! Live in BK Heights and enjoy listening to all your tours
Wow, I better get my butt over here. This looks like an interesting place to walk around.
Getting better and better. Loved the interviews, especially the one with David at the Waterfront Museum.

There's my next trip, ferry ride to homegrown BBQ. Great video !!
My friend owns Rocky Sullivan's in Red Hook, great little Irish Pub.
Great video . Red hook is the 2nd biggest project housing after Queens Bridge housing. Used live there about 17 yrs ago, still have family members there. A gold mine neighbor ,everybody wants in now
wonderful as always. I learn so much, I tell my friends I would not go to new york without checking if you have a vid about where we plan to go. If we ever plan to go again. I really miss new york.
Realistic tour..especially when you included Red Hook Houses.
Great video
This is fantastic, love NYC and stayed in Brooklyn last time we visited. often travel back on Queen Mary which leaves from the Red Hook area and Covid willing should be calling in twice for the day later in the year..straight to Sunny's bar and the Key Lime Pie shop!
Great vid!
My daughter and her family are probably moving to Red Hook, so this video was incredibly helpful to us. Thanks.
"Im going to lower my mask, because no one is around, so chill out" lmaoooooo. Exactly!!!
My grandpa Ole was a longshoreman and grew up there where the projects are now. He came over from Norway 1904
phil? thx god is back! NY is nicer because of him.
