Tried my best to make this video with the footage I had from a few months ago. Hope you guys are safe and healthy!
great video as always
planning on moving to brooklyn in the near future with some friends so this video was perfect timing and very helpful!! thanks brett. another enjoyable video as always :)
Brett Conti yes, please be safe!
Yeah! We are safe and hope you also
@@hannahdowding514 Highly suggest you do :]
Brooklyn is also extremely expensive to live, having several roommates to afford housing gets very old .
Niket Vishwakarma lol
I'm trying to move next yr like August. I'm moving from Houston to Brooklyn. I'm looking for the cheapest area. Do u know anything about Brooklyn? I would appreciate it sir. I'm relocating basically to work. It's difficult right now for me to keep a full-time job where I'm at in Houston.
T-MUSTAFA 33 Yeah! Brownsville is your spot. Very cheap. 💀
@Niket Vishwakarma bro stfu
@@maxmx767 It's actually not that cheap. It's mostly a poor area because of the high concentration of public housing. Rentals aren't going to be that much cheaper than Bed Stuy. There's not some dramatic separation between Brownsville and the surrounding areas.
Brooklyn is only cheap to all the yuppies gentrifying it. It has gotten way too expensive to live there recently.
That's why I lived in Queens and just commuted to work
@@paulz4667 But the same thing has been happening to places in Queens, too. Just look at Astoria.
@@EyeGlassTrainofMind true I only paid 400 rent a month
@That Highlightt Hollis ave
@That Highlightt My landlord Is cool I can have full rent if I pay 3k upfront
Nice Video, but Brooklyn is no longer just this grungy hipster place that everyone is making it out to be. They have high rise apartments rival Manhattan in terms of design and a lot of them that are just as expensive if not more. It is rapidly becoming an extension of Manhattan, pushing people further and further to the back of the borough.
Yes, it's sad that the gentrification of so many of the neighborhoods is pushing people out because they can no longer afford to live there.
Yeah exactly. I grew up in Brooklyn born here as well in prospect lefferts garden area this place has changed like crazy feels like park slope now. Went to college in downtown Brooklyn Jay St.
The changed over the last 10-15 years of downtown Brooklyn is like unreal. Amazing is many ways but sad as well. Nothing will ever be the same.
Brooklyn is the new Manhattan.
I read an article in the real estate section of the NYT where a lady hard a hard time finding an affordable apartment in Brooklyn (in the area where she wanted) but she found one more affordable in Manhattan south of Central Park.
Don't forget the "hipsters" now drinking kombucha in BedStuy of all places. 🤦♀️
How much is a single room self contain in Brooklyn
7 people in one apartment? Dont think so.
Kelvin Garcia how much would rent be
Runner Girl Fax
And a half pipe skate ramp?! Nah
Said it's 2 floors so who knows how it's split up
That sounds rad to me
Live in Brooklyn, work in Manhattan. I've been in the city for 8 months and that's been the best grind. Get the craziness and the excitement when you work, have fun with the artsy hipsters after haha.
I suppose is far more affordable as well lol
What did you work as?
a_Misfit I mean bear in mind that everywhere is semi quiet except for protests right now because of world events. But I’m an actor and I worked as a good runner at an Italian restaurant.
That’s what I did, and I loved it. I moved to Manhattan for the shorter commute though.
You are a gentrifier
I lived in both Manhattan and Williamsburg. Love both but I prefer Williamsburg for myself because of the atmosphere. It’s cleaner, more spacious and I think cooler. Manhattan for me gets to be too much. Being a native New Yorker, proud of both. Stay well and safe everyone.
Amen.. God bless
Times have changed...
To be fair, Manhattan is an entire borough whereas Williamsburg is a specific neighborhood of Brooklyn. Living experience varies greatly depending on which neighborhood you live in, whether in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
@@Jacob-ry3luYea would’ve been good to know what neighborhood in Manhattan comparing to
It's so easy , live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan, that's how i do
what’s ur job
@@cand1117 he’s a ceo of a company
Employ me lol
i can take out the trash
I'm serious and qualified ..I'm not joking employ me
I lived in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn over 35 years ago. The only way I got a view of Manhattan from my house is from my roof. After looking at this video, gentrification is so real.
That’s when it was grimey as hell during the crack epidemic
@@cfnretro6448 and cheaper for the real locals
So true
@@Locopueblo it was cheaper for everyone
I’ve only lived in NY for a year but I really like living in Brooklyn. I used to commute to work on Times Square and it was a nice change of pace for me. I think Brooklyn is a little bit quieter
Where r u originally from?
A year in NYC .....and your still alive, Now that is something to celebrate!
@@genlovesgames sorry I’m just seeing this comment but I’m from Boston!
Hope you’re okay
Pumping out great content as usual! Such an inspiration, hope you're staying safe in all this madness here in NYC!
Definitely want to see more comparisons of both . Cool video with your friend . He’s truly conveys being authentic. How about some more neighborhoods in Brooklyn with your friend, as well as more videos of Manhattan ? Love your content Brett!👍🏽👏🏽🙋🏻♀️
Thanks for keeping us entertained during this quarantine Brett!
Having lived in Brooklyn my entire life (save the longest year of my life in Staten island), most folks (seemingly) think of the BK as "hipster" but you can find any kind of neighborhood in Brooklyn... from "old money" in Brooklyn Heights to straight 'hood in Brownsville to a flashback to Saturday NIght Fever in Bensonhurst... including a neighborhood for every ethnicity!
this is so true!
you deserve an oscar for that new york accent impression
As a native New Yorker (also an Italian-American) who naturally has that accent, I laugh at your comment. Sorry to say that it was an awful impression. And... there's a lot of these videos on RUclips where people are explaining things about New York. None of the people in the videos I've seen are native New Yorkers. Usual story: someone moves to NYC from Kansas or whatever, lives in the city for a year and then claims to be an expert. I wish you people could've seen NYC in the seventies and eighties with all the hookers, junkies and gangs in Times Square. You'd all run home.
He sounds nothing like a New Yorker because he’s not
@@sugarman08 hes lived in new york all his life and his family lives there too but okay lmao
@@simpysompywomb5470 I’m so old my bad
@@bassnyc1 he’s been in New York all his life and grandparents from before so shut your rat nasty behind up. Always a tough guy
Love your classic nyc vlogs Brett. Hope you're staying safe!
I just biked to Brooklyn with the Citi bike this past weekend and saw you on my way home! Brooklyn is great...def more residential local vibes...but I still love the energy of Manhattan
Too bad he will never see your comment lol
I miss Brooklyn tbh lol I left for Vegas 😂
Every time I hear of Brooklyn, I think of Dan Humphrey
Hello, how are you? Good times, I am an Arab from Yemen. I want to provide me with assistance, if you allow. My country, Yemen suffers from war, siege, poverty, and unemployment. Thank you
same!
I think of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes
Yikes. 😒
Same & I hate that man 😭😭😭
wow your editing is amazing, loved the video brett!
HEY BRETT! I WANT TO SAY. THANKS FOR BEING AN AWESOME PERSON! Your videos are amazing. Makes me feel like I'm back at home. Being stationed overseas sucks. I miss home. I hope to come visit NYC soon. My no.1 home.
Very well rounded comparison! Lots of value here for anyone new to the city. Also, BK let’s gooooo!
Love Brooklyn, I love the whole City can't go wrong in NYC. Can't wait to move there next year
Don't know much about NYC been twice fro the UK and absolutely love it Brett is a star could watch him all day
I visited New York last year for the first time from the UK. I stayed in Brooklyn and commuted to Manhattan every day......I cant wait to go again (someday) Love your videos Brett. I can't get enough of those beautiful drone shots of the city.
Brett Conti is really one of the best youtubers out here right now, he doesn't change as he gains fame.
facts
Super facts. He’s in my top 3 youtubers. And I I like people like yes theory, David dobrick and mr. Beast.
He’s actually top 2 now that I think of it
@@corymateo15 fax
True unlike the Faze members who became hypebeasts for some reason idk love this dude
@@Imthebestthereis honestly
Brooklyn/Queens are best for living, and Manhattan is best for work/entertainment
Where in Manhattan can I find a safe area to live and rent closer to $1,400? People are referring me to Harlem, but which area of Harlem is the safest?
what about connyisland?
@@zenlte2252 harlem is not a very safe place lol
Oh
@@zenlte2252 theatre district
This turned out awesome! Great video B!
finally new video !!! thank u for safe my day when still stay at home :D love from Solo city, Indonesia
There's a huge chance that none of these guys are from Brooklyn they just live there. Gentrification is what this is called, landlords raise the rent so people like Minorities can't afford it.
factual
And many of the landlords are minorities! The irony!
@@josephkearny5874 and by Minorities u mean what Jews, Russians what do u mean by Minorities? when I refer to Minorities I'm really talking about Black and Latinos... U know those are the ones getting kicked out of Brooklyn because of what it has become...
@@jski1012 And why do you get to circumscribe the meaning of the word "minorities" and who's included and who's excluded from that term? And what about Asians, Middle Easterners and Indians? Do they not count? The world and its minorities is larger and greater than your limited purview!
@@josephkearny5874 Listen boy, lets stop all the BS we both know what I'm talking about many Brooklyn hoods were filled with blacks and latinos that now have been kicked to the curve to make wave for u new comers!!!
"The Hipster Drink" - but is it Organic though? lololol
Ok but like why have I now just discovered your amazing videos. Like the talent in the editing and everything is just like wow!
Wow always excited to watch a new Brett Conti video😍😍
I like Brooklyn. One of my favorite museums, the NY Transit Museum is there. And Coney Island is a fun place to go during the summer
I stopped seeing you in these RUclips streets. I am glad quarantine got you back.
Loved it! Do one for queens next!!!
this my first video watching from your channel and the effort you put isn’t appreciated enough !! because wow
Dat editing thooo!! Keep up the good work ma dude
This really makes me miss “normal” life in NYC 😭
Lmao .....Normal life in NYC 🤣
@@YanksandBritsProductions wtf
@vQueasy.
Nothing is normal in NYC!
Goes to Brooklyn... DOESN’T TALK ABOUT THE PIZZA?!?! 🍕
😂😂😂
Brooklyn pizza is great! That's all I ate when I visited and I never got tired because they had so many different types of slices.
nyc dollar slice pizza hit harder in manhattan
Because queens has better pizza
@@randomperson4527 hmmmmm never tasted it but Brooklyn pizza so good
Love your videos Brett!! Much love from Tampa Florida
You do a really good job on your videos, Brett! Upon graduating college here in Ohio, almost three years ago, my baby boy headed to NYC. He currently lives in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn. I hope things return to some semblance of normalcy for everyone soon! Now I'm craving an Egg cream!
great staff dude! keep going :D Greetings from Argentina.
5:55 wow it's nice to see Dutch vanderlin living like Angelo bronte
Hi Brett! I work for Red Bull and was wondering how we could get more involved with the skate and art community and see where your and your friends' favorite places to hang out and grab cocktails! Love that your friend has the half pipe in his apartment!! Let me know! Thanks for the video! Really helpful!
Glad I subscribed to your channel bro you have great content on it 💯
I’m in Williamsburg and it feels like it’s cheat codes 😂 10 minutes from Manhattan with so much of the classic New York culture, but without all the chaos
Tiana Young love Williamsburg
ok L train Jane
Lmao u from Brooklyn or u just live in Brooklyn ?
No. Legitimate classic New York culture would be in southern brooklyn and most queens neighborhoods that haven’t gentrified yet.
Williamsburg ain’t what it used to be. You’re probably a gentrifier.
Absolutely love living in Manhattan!
Nice video Brett. Nice edit, good pacing, really well done.
Love your videos man,keep up❤️
Brooklyn has a great vibe and the view of Manhattan is amazing!
BROOKLYN ALL THE WAYYYY
hi dillon!
@@ZolveSkate WASSUP!
Happy Belated B-Day Dillon! 🎂❤️
Karen C thank you Karen!
You had a nice vibe in the video, nice apt btw
Great video! Hope to visit this October 😁
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
You gave Brooklyn respect Brett. Egg creams forever!
When I visited NY, I stayed in Brooklyn with my friend. It was dope. It was still very easy to get around, and had lots to do.
I agree. As a tourist on a short visit, downtown Brooklyn is nice and easy to get to Manhattan
I really wanna go manhattan and brooklyn again after covid 19! thank you for your video. Brett!
Good afternoon! Very good video. One of your older subscribers (age 56), I'm fascinated by the place where, as Huey Lewis and the News once sang, "where else can you do a half a million things, all at a quarter to three?"
This made me realize how much I want to move to New York City when I grow up. Awesome video my man!!! Hope you’re staying well 👍🏼🤟🏼✊🏼✌🏼🤙🏼
Don’t go without bodyguards!
@@YanksandBritsProductions 😂😂😂
@@YanksandBritsProductions why
@@mariaovsm
Why .....why ya think, it’s NYC were talking about.
You not heard, it’s got back to the days of the 70s & 80s ......shootings and all kinds of BS 24/7
@@YanksandBritsProductions crazy?
I love Brooklyn such a great borough!
big facts!
Found this channel yesterday and it’s quickly became my favourite
Great video, thanks for sharing
I've read that Park Slope is even more expensive than Manhattan. South Bronx has started to gentrify so you may find more affordable property there. It's the greenest borough and the only borough with an intro "The" Bronx.
The Bronx 🤢
@@Dariusissocool ?????
Park slope and surrounding neighborhoods are comparable to Manhattan- people move
To Brooklyn be Manhattan is mostly for the Brooklyn restaurant/nightlife. My 2br in park slope is 3k and could have gotten similar in Manhattan.
Bronx is a shithole.
@@jacksonsilva6335 some. Park
Hey Brett. I''ve been in Brooklyn for 14.5 years now, and I'm loving it. So, Brooklyn would be by choice.
I just LOVE your videos ! x
Great! Now I'm still more curious about Brooklyn.
Try to visit Brazil (Salvador, Fortaleza, Manaus, Rio, São Paulo) someday.
I was born in the Lower East Side and raise in Brooklyn. I left in 2009. YOU CAN KEEP NYC!!!!! Good Luck.
Where'd you move to? And is it a better place?
@@hichamdbajat9778 In Jan 3, 2009 I moved to Pacific Palisade. Wayyyy better here then NY. . I'm still here but CA is going though some issues right now. High taxes, Crime going up, Homelessness but I still think it's way better then NYC out here if you like good weather and the outdoors. Most of the issues will be fix in no time. I'm looking to buy property in Puerto Rico next year. That's my next move.
@@animal9370 that sounds good. What type of occupation do you have that you're able to just get up and leave where you are and just go start new somewhere else? That's pretty sweet that you are able to do that. All the best. Just be careful with this epidemic going on out there.
I live in Florida but I have to say I have always dreamed of moving to the big city but can’t imagine not living in Manhattan. For me it just doesn’t seem as exciting. Even though Brooklyn is huge and probably better in all aspects
Well you haven't live here yet, manhattan is expensive and extressfull, brooklyn its a little bit "normal" than the center but it still being the same city is cooler everywhere
Runner Girl it depends. I live in Bensonhurst which is close to Coney Island and my train ride is 30-40 minutes if no delays.
Yea honestly you don't have to be in the middle of Manhattan to feel like you're in nyc, the outer boroughs like Brooklyn have many of the same characteristics and influence the culture that identifies this city so you will always feel like you're in nyc but just a bit less chaotic and less tourists
please go to manhattan. every transplant cries whenever they leave manhattan. stay there and enjoy the expensive amenities.
Keep bringing it Brett
Brooklyn! My born place . I am truly a Brooklyn girl forever. If you have a chance to explore Brooklyn has so many old mansions that were built the turn of the century.
Hey Brett, I've lived in Brooklyn my whole life so I can easily say great video! Next time you come visit let me know, and I'd be happy to buy you a slice of pizza.
Wow. You're a lucky guy
I live out here n the Pacific Northwest . WA state! I always thought if I ever wanted to move and live somewhere it would have been NY and Brooklyn and Manhattan were my choices lol.
i love you, this video and this channel 😢
Hey Brett, how about a video of life in your place during the pandemic ? Liked your video where you introduced your roommates . Great group especially your sister and roommate that are both Nurse’s. How is everyone doing ? Some testimonies may be ? Or how daily life is for all of you collectively . Best to you all .🙏🏽
Your cinematography is amazing. Those riding shots and edit are top notch
Living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan, my situation 🙂 and the best one
I loved this video!
Very good sir!! Keep it up !! I will come to new York soon ✌️✌️
100% would much rather live in Manhattan! Must like yourself, Brett, I love the fast paced environment. The hustle and bustle type of lifestyle! I thrive for those traffic sounds, people yelling at one another, cramped spots 🥰
I guess ya love dodging bullets.
💯
@@YanksandBritsProductions Manhattan is extremely safe stop fear mongering lol
Fantastic Video! I lived in Brooklyn many years ago so If I moved back to NY I'd choose Manhattan.. I ♥️ Ny!
It's actually so nice to see this video. Here in Belgium we have common traiits. Bruges is like Brooklyn and Ghent is more like manhatten
incredible vibes !
this makes me miss new york :(
New York lost its soul when it got taken over by influencers, tourists, and outsiders that loved it there because it was cool. The real New Yorkers which gave the city its grit and soul and had families dating back to its beginning have slowly disappeared. It’s basically Disneyland now.
That would depend on where you go and who you familiarize yourself with. NYC as a whole still has that charm and grit in many places then again it has always been a city of flux. The hispter thing has always been
my dad and grandparents are from the bronx and my other side are from queens and i hate people who make it more ig white and hipster it loses its culture and soul and isnt fun anymore
Agree
Fax bro I'm from brooklyn and some of the influencers and tourists try to make it all hipster,trendy and political .like bro take that to bum jersey
awesome vid. thanks for the entertaining informational content (: !!!
I love your style of video making lol idk how to phrase but great job
Dillon has got the Italian Long Island accent down pact 😉
Barbara Cassese fuhgettaboutit 😉
Brooklyn is for living ,Manhattan is for the weekends 👍⚡️⚡️⚡️
And Manhattan is for working as well
Do i hear some De Niro in this presentation 😉
Great video as usual !!!
I live near Prospect and it is truly beautiful it is like everyone shares a backyard. So many good summer vibes there! I like Brooklyn, I have lived in eastern Queens, Long Island, and BK and they are all special but BK is probably my favorite just because the park is so beautiful. If you are inside of it you can forget you are in a huge ass city.
Prospect is absolutely beautiful I used to take my dates there for long walks and enjoyed having family fun. I miss it, sucks I can't afford living in nyc anymore. I'm down here in tennessee now.
Loved Dillon's vibe and the fact he mistook a goose for a swan.
Mir eyyy I’m just a guy from Brooklyn 😆
I get it when your young you need to get that buck and the city vibes. Been there done it but we are happy now living in the countryside tiny village but that comes with the ages! They see in your twenties you are searching, in your thirties you think you know and in your forties a midlife crisis and when your up and 50 and more when someones tells or says look back; you say know I've been their, felt it and we do not need to go back we just go forward on the time what we still have and enjoy it. So we get it and love your vlogs!
Right you are lol I'm 22 and want to live in NYC more than anything.
My mom is full Japanese and when she was in her early 20s she decided to move to Vancouver and soon after to San Diego and I know that right now she would LOVE to move somewhere in the mountains away from all the noise and busyness
such a great video! your audio is on point every time, arguably the best audio editing out there atm. You and Dillon have such great energy together, really enjoyed the accents and little history lesson. If you have any more boroughs in the bag for the future I'm ready for 'em!!
My favorite place to live is Queens. It’s a little further from the city but it’s Great. I grew up there and I absolutely love it
Lmao these fools don't know anything about living in nyc, let me tell you someone who was born and raised in Brooklyn NYC is just not worth it anymore especially now. The lock down makes you realize how pathetic these over bearing prices for apartments are. I'm hoping to leave nyc in a couple years but the hype isn't the same unless you got a lot of money.
Oh ...and what about sallaries ?
@@samahamara8543 pretty mediocre your income has to be 4X the rent to live decent and good. If you're rent is 2000 a month yearly 24,000, your income should be atleast 60,000-80,000 as your rent alone would be 1/3, 1/4. Factor in student debt, car payments, bills etc. you see why only when you're making a lot money can you true live comfortably. I'm not here to shit on rich people or people who do have a lot of money but its ridiculous that people think it must be a dream living here when in reality if you're not upperclass its a nightmare. In the end, you will always worry about rent, bills, debt and so on, take my word it aint worth it.
Don’t be fooled... Brett Conti actually talks like that all the time from 0:46-1:02 🤣😂
We only ever get a hint of it whenever he says CAWFEE
Chris Garbo you should do an ama on the channel!
@Dyler Turden I think he should ask Donald Trump for permission to use that word.
Haha that may have been my favorite part of this video 😊
Brett love your vlogs 🤙 one advice clean a sensor on the camera 😉
Yeah Brett, a real down home New Yorker for real....Not many are left! The nostaliga of your story with your uncle and the egg cream.
Brooklyn is diverse and has many different neighborhoods... Its very generalized and didn't touch on much.
Brett, New York is a town of rich history and tradition!
I'm 12 and I live in the uk and I'm determined to live in nyc, the reason I'm asking you for advise is because I have my whole life ahead of me and I would like to have my chances as high as I can to get a life and a job in nyc. Thank you.
Thank U so much for sharing this video!!! planning to visit brookling next week, saw this bar/cafe in the water tower und must have a coffee there . thank u for the great tip. :). One question, do I have to book in advance?
Was it in the lobby bar of the hotel?
