@@ActionKidEvery now and then in certain movies, random narration as some things of particular interest might pop up that would be okay. Doing narration all of the time you would end up with laryngitis.
Thank you for another great video! I haven’t been to NYC yet but watching your videos makes me feel like I’m there already 😎 Keep them coming please! 🙌🏻
This is awesome! I lived on 47th Ave for years as a kid and walked that bridge many times with my mom. I grew up in Greenpoint on Clay St and Eagle St. It's great seeing the Pulaski again. I haven't been back for almost 20 years. Thank you for this. By the way... I always panicked crossing over the drawbridge, I hated the way it bounced on a windy day.
I worked at CLS limousine in 2001 which was right at the east river on Java street, past the gates. I used to leave my van on Java street for a month and go on vacation. The hipsters ruined Greenpoint for sure. You're a little older than me, I grew up in Yorkville.
Thank you, thank you, that was a very interesting and informative video. Like always showing areas that as a tourist I would not known. That Peter Pan Pastries shop looks good I saw on the maps because I follow your walks on the google maps. God Bless you ActionKid for your fabulous videos.
Another great video and I really want to thank you again for taking the effort to show your subscribers NYC from so many different angles! Please don´t let any whining comment about your accuracy stop you from uploading your vids! Stay safe!
Beautiful video of Greenpoint. Once upon a time my late sister was a catholic nun at St. Anthony parish on Manhattan Ave. The building next to the church was the convent where my sister Alice and the nuns lived. Sisters of St. Joseph was the order my sister was from. Also my mother loved shopping on Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint with me tagging along as a boy. Action Kid, let me say this. You're the best in your videos for indeed brings back precious memories. God bless you!🙏
Before there was a Pulaski Skyway, there was a street level steel drawbridge connecting Manhattan Avenue with LI City. From the walkway one could down on the steam locomotives in the LIRR train yard. After the Pulaski Skyway replaced the old bridge it wasn't as much fun.
@@ActionKid It might have been called the Greenpoint Bridge. It could not have been called Greenpoint Ave. Bridge since there was and still is a Greenpoint Ave. bridge that crosses Newtown Creek some distance away.
Hello actionkid105 thank you again for your wonderful and entertaining video and as always I love your narration. As I mentioned to you before you are so genuine that I feel like an old friend that is taking a walk with you. I think I could listen to you talk all day long. I do have a question about this video. I am wondering if you know anything at all about the 3 interesting statues that are exactly 14:00 minutes into the video? Keep up the great work be safe.
Thank you! There are many safe neighborhoods in New York. I agree with all the listings on this site: www.niche.com/places-to-live/search/safest-neighborhoods/m/new-york-city-metro-area/
From Wikipedia: “A delicatessen or deli is a retail establishment that sells a selection of fine, unusual or foreign prepared foods ("delicacies"). Delicatessen originated in Germany (original: Delikatessen) during the 18th century and spread to the United States in the mid-19th century. European immigrants to the United States, especially Ashkenazi Jews, popularized the delicatessen in American culture beginning in the late 19th century.”
Quisiera Felicitarte por tu excelente trabajo, me gustan tus videos ya que me transportan a tu ciudad. Tengo una peticion, podras cuando narres poner subtitulos en Español por favor, eso me ayudaria mucho ya que no hablo Ingles. Saludos y excelente trabajo, Muchas Gracias :)
Sure, go ahead! I’d love to see more from all over the world. It’s not like anybody can hold the copyrights to the style of a narrated walking video anyway! There’s a popular London walker I love to watch on RUclips by the name of Watched Walker.
@@ActionKid keezi walks from the Netherlands has done a lot of walking videos in Asia, Europe, Africa, South America. Can't recall if he did any in the U.S.
I still cant work up the nerve to narrate and besides it would require hours to edit out mistakes and make it sound perfect. How far back in months did you start narration? This is the first one I heard.
Great narration interesting and informative and most enjoyable. You must stop calling that utter rubbish a damned eyesore, 'street art', it is vandalism, malicious damage and the lunatics who splash paint on someone else's property should be in jail and paint the walls there. Let them paint their own properties...
NYC is being overbuilt , overpriced condos sprouting on every available space. Meanwhile same 19th century streets and early 20th century subway system . Too crowded, too much , overhyped , over inflated
Stop doing this until you are qualified to be a NYC tour guide. Your lack of know, and factual inaccuracies are a great disservice to those who care about this great city. Do a little more research on the localities you travel, and if you're not certain about something don't give vague answers, mention you're not full knowledgeable about it and do some research on it add corrections in post.
I never claimed to be a tour guide. I’m a native New Yorker and RUclipsr who is passionate about the places I travel to and making videos. While I do limited research on areas, know that there may be mistakes in the way I present them or the sources which I gather them from. My video style is mostly raw and unedited.

You should always do narrated videos. Always good seeing the NYC streets and hearing you talk about the historic background of it and about your life.
WigglyWorm__Miguel__UK agreed
No, I enjoy making narrated and non-narrated videos.

Born in Greenpoint in 1953, lived on Java St. one block from the working docks, now called waterfront...the neighborhood has changed big time.
I worked at CLS limousine in 2001 which was right at the east river on Java street, past the gates. I used to leave my van on Java street for a month and go on vacation.

Wow, awesome!
Past the gates was our playground until the guard would chase us out
@@DENNISHARDY1 Lol

Thank you for this! I walked this route so many times and lived on Dupont St. I really felt homesick and this video definitely helps a lot.
Some very interesting statues on top of that block wall, going towards the creek. Thanks for another great narrated video!

Обожаю видео этого чувака! Спасибо тебе :)
Я тоже)))
I have a lot of your videos to watch because I've been busy with work but thank you. :)
No problem, watch them when you have time!
Loved it. Thank you
St Anthony Church. I remember you can walk through a little pathway of the church, and get to lenard st
Love your videos ! Your knowledge of NYC is amazing, curious if you use a pedometer and count steps?
Thank you! I actually don’t count my steps at all.
32:50 they love them the domed banks in brooklyn.
very good, i love LIC and williamsburg
great vid. I wish you would do a selfie so we could put a face to the voice.

Laundromat is so popular apparently..

What are the black steps and ladder for outside the apartments? Is it if there's a fire? I always wondered thanks 👍
They're fire escapes, so that one can exit if the other means of egress is blocked.
U should give walking tours for tourist
What dos Deli mean, i see it often on shops.

Can someone walk across the Greenpoint Avenue Bridge? I want to see if I can walk from Greenpoint to Sunnyside
regards from poland :)
what did you mean "I'll be answering where there is an area with alot of activity"
Where’s the part where I say that? I don’t remember.
actionkid105 ah it was probably a slip of the tongue, i thought you might be a first responder or something to "answer this area"
Ah. 29:25
I think its "entering" not answering sorry. :)
Smeg somethingorother oh yes, it’s entering an area with a lot of activity.
15:28 Do you rely on bottled water to drink and bathe then?
Nope, most of our tap water comes from upstate New York!
👍🗽
2:18 dodge 😍
Take the umbrella nextl time,man! Please, take care of your health,.
I've never been to this part of the city, I'm scared to leave Manhattan. Lol
Narrated = Better
Wo is it cafe Perestroyka 😆
What are those statues outside that Polish restaurant? Are they real people?
Nope, those are statues!
like and watch :)
