I grew up in Greenwich. Graduated from Greenwich High School. I haven't been for 15 years. I miss it. I used to take the train from NYC to Greenwich and back. We used to camp on the island you mentioned that you need to take a ferry. These were my childhood memories. Thank you for bringing them back!
My pops grew up in Greenwich- both grandparents buried in Greenwich. He was fortunate enough to attend the Brunswick school. He had a great childhood and upbringing in one of the nicest towns in America.
I'm glad you went to Greenwich because you can really find a lot of luxurious places to eat for little money. Plus it's a stunning city that will treat the visitor good!
I'm really glad I went. It was a place that I've wanted to visit for awhile. There's still a lot to Greenwich that I didn't get to see or eat. I hope to return!
Awwww this brought back so many memories. I loved growing up here. I had my first volunteer job at the Bruce Museum. I love l'escale but you missed Garden Catering. Its a local multi generational favorite with the best fried food you'll ever eat. Also you didnt get to go toTodds Point. Although you need to be a resident to go to Todds. Next time you visit us you need to go to both if you can get a guest pass or go with someone :))
There's only so much I could do in a day, and it was a day well spent. You grew up in a nice place! I really enjoyed Greenwich! Thanks for the suggestions! Hopefully, I'll get to some of those on my next visit.
I love greenwhich. Its a beautiful place.. The only thing is in the summer, the beaches are expensive for non residents. I'm from Connecticut and still would have to pay a lot to go the beach there...but theres a lot to see. Nice video. All the best..
Thank you! I appreciate it! Yeah, the whole beach pass thing was a bit confusing and did seem expensive, but nonetheless, I really had a great day in Greenwich!
James, next time you come let me know. We have a food show all about the best food in Greenwich. You could of made a guest appearance! Enjoyed your video. I look forward to following. - Mike
Thanks for sharing your visit to Greenwitch. Interesting, you can get there via Grand Central Terminal? I thought that you had to Amtrak that, via Penn Station. But I guess due to it's close proximaty to NYC, you could just take a local train from Grand Central to Greenwitch. Thanks again for sharing your visit
@@Jamesnu Thank you!!! Is it usually an hour or so? And what is the round trip cost during off peak periods. I hope to make it out soon. Thanks again James. Love your content.
@@lb1983ify Thank you! I think my train took about 45 minutes to get there and I believe I paid about $20 round trip during off peak hours. I hope you enjoy the city!
@@Jamesnu Thank you so much for the great information. This is extremly helpful. You are a real Pro and I really do appreciate all of the helpful advice and insight. Really enjoy the content here. Please keep them coming!!!
Is everything in walking distance once you get off the train station? Also is there plenty of parking at the train station? Reason I'm asking is because I have a friend coming up from NJ and never been to Greenwich. Thanks!
Yeah, everything in this video was very walkable, but Greenwich is pretty big. There are parts of it that I didn't get to see. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the parking situation is at the train station. It wasn't something that I paid attention to.
@@Jamesnu Thank you so much for the quick response! I definitely will tell my friend to take the Old Greenwich Railroad Station. As long we can walk from the station to the restaurants, it's perfect. :) I'll figure out the parking situation. Thank you again!
Thank goodness you didn't have a laptop with you during your trip to the coffee place. It would have been bold to take a stand against their No Laptop Vibes!
I can understand their no laptop rule.. it's not a working environment but a place to enjoy nice leisure time eating..we all need a break from electronic devices sometimes.
@@Truth_will_prevail_4ever Exactly! It really makes a difference to the overall vibe and feel of the coffee shop.

When Greenwich was founded, it was part of New Haven Colony, not Connecticut. New Haven Colony was headquartered in New Haven and established by hardline Puritans who found Massachusetts too soft and democratic. New Haven Colony, of course, disappeared long ago and was absorbed by Connecticut and has been part of Connecticut ever since. When New Haven Colony was absorbed by Connecticut right after the Restoration, many of its residents moved to New Ark in New Jersey.
This place only exists as people don’t pay their fair share of taxes. Other place could be like this if hedge funds and companies didn’t fund politicians and lobby for tax breaks
We put the other hand on the table in a French restaurant. And we use a knife even for a salad. We never eat with one hand. This is how Americans got spotted in France and killed by the gestapo. By eating that way.
I personally don't like greenwich. I'm from westport and work in New Canaan. obviously very similar to greenwich. I don't live that far from greenwich I just dont like it.. personally..

I'm pretty sure living in Greenwich is one of my goals.
I can see that. It's a great place!
I lived there it is such a wonderful place, I would highly recommend tods point and cups and cones, my favorite soft serve shop there.
Ok, james Nice lille trip . The baroness of denmark, bless
Thank you! It was a fun day!
“No laptop zone,” I love that!
Yeah, the place has a good vibe because of it.
CT FOR LIFE
It's a great state!
Tell Pete Gas of the mean Street Posse I said keep it groovy, Cheerio. I am loving the views, looks like a real righteous place.
Thank you! Yeah, it really is a nice looking city!
@@Jamesnu we have a nice section called Santana Row San Jose Ca, I encourage you to look it up. When you get a bit of time, you are more than welcome.
@@mister_oj_zen7345 Thank you! I appreciate it!
@@Jamesnu no problem, you are more then welcome.
Yeah , that's right plus don't forget about joey abs and rodney😄
If I ever come up ur way I’m buyin and I’m gonna be needing u to take me and the wife on a full day of eating lol…keep it up my man
Haha! Thank you!
James
Do you have a camera person or do you do these yourself?
Excellent videos
Thank you so much! Nope, I do nearly everything solo and have a bendable tripod, which really helps with the filming.
Great idea, laptop free zone, so many places have people sat the entire day using up seats for one coffee but all the while glued to their screen.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of those people holding all the seats.
Greenwich is great lots of things to do
Absolutely! It's a wonderful city!
Great video James! You’re not thinking of moving to Greenwich CT?
Thank you! Haha! Greenwich is very nice, but NYC is the place for me!
Where he is it’s such a good spot, go there all the time😂
It's a beautiful place!
My god Greenwich is so wealthy you need to check out the houses
Definitely!
I’m offended when you call it a “NYC suburb”, sorry we don’t associate with anything New York. We are Connecticut
Sure, but Greenwich is still in the NYC area.
@@Jamesnu Alright fair enough
Is connecticut safe?
@@gytan2221now apologize
@@Jamesnu but it's NOT IN NEW YORK so... It's in Connecticut, that's a different place altogether

Like your Brooks shirt. ❤
Thank you! I appreciate it! It's one of my favorite shirts!
Somewhere on the mean streets of Greenwich there's this posse of rich dudes.
Haha! Yeah, it's a pretty ritzy place.
You're wearing Persol 649 right? What size is it, 54 or 52? Great sunglasses!
You're right! They're a 52. It's my favorite pair of sunglasses!
I like your seiko watch.
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Seiko!
A polo shirt to fit in!
Haha! I tried!
I didn't know there is a train going to CT from NYC!
Yeah, the trains to CT are very frequent and it's a great way to visit the state!
Most towns in the CT Gold Coast have tons of daily commuters.
This is NOT an "NYC Suburb" This is Connecticut a totally different state.
It doesn't matter that it's in a different state, it's all about the distance it's from NYC.
i was trying to find my town on youtube
Nice!
Vince McMahons hood
I didn't know that.
I live here
Nice! I really enjoyed my time in Greenwich. You live in a great place!
@@Jamesnu Thankyou if you go back make sure to check out cups and cones
@@kidzone328 Thanks for the recommendation! I hope I can get there soon!

Cashapp me a few hundred thousand then.

Fair enough. New Canaan and Westport are places I definitely want to check out in the future.
Next time comb your hair.
And dress a little more adequate.
nice day trip. perhaps the island part was purposefully confusing...who knows. looks like a tranquil upscale spot to visit.
Yeah, that could be, but at least I really enjoyed what I got to do. Greenwich was a very pleasant place!
I love it there best place to grow up
