- Next Stop…New York City | RIVERFRONT Campground with a Skyline View & Drive-in! (EPISODE 258)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we visit New York City! We found a perfect campground that is right along the East River with a skyline view of Manhattan with water, electric, a dump station, shower and a drive-in, yes, a drive-in theater with three different movies! This is a perfect spot to keep your RV and take the ferry or subway to explore the city.
We were in New York City over ten years ago but there was a lot that we didn’t get to see then that we wanted to see this time.
The first day was late so we just walked the streets and visited the 911 Memorial and found what was probably the best gluten free pizza we have ever had!
The next morning we took the ferry over to Pier 11 again and walked over to take a cruise over to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, where we were able to find out some very interesting information about our grandparents.
The next day was a very busy day. We had to be up and ready before the sunrise to get down to the Rockefeller Plaza to see the Today Show live. We didn’t want to take any chances of getting there late so we scheduled an Uber that dropped us off right at The Plaza check-in for the show. The rest of the day we spent going up to the top of Rockefeller Center (Top Of The Rock) and the Empire State Building.
There’s a lot to see and learn in this episode, so enjoy the show!

I LOVED hearing about your grandfathers coming to America… be proud! They did it the legal way.
I happen to have already seen a video about that artist that drew the city before.
He's autistic, and has traveled the world and drawn many other cities.
He even gets the exact number of windows right in every building, amazing.
Thank you for all your hard work in showing us this great country.
Wow! Looks like a cool RV park! NYC is so amazing…nothing like it. Thanks for taking us along.👍😊
Another great video. I would never have expected to see an RV campground in New York City
The Statue of Liberty ferry leaves from Castle Garden (large stone building) which was the immigration center up to the late 1800s. My Irish ancestors came through that building escaping the Potato Famine (1847, 1872) . My Croatian ancestors came through Ellis Island about 1907.
You passed by DUMBO on the ferry from camping. The large glass building contains the historic merry go round from Idora Park in Youngstown Ohio now known as Jane's Carousel. I rode it through my childhood and even my kids experienced it.
Awesome video! Brian, you are my absolute favorite RUclips cinematographer! You really have a way of capturing the moment that you’re in and an uncanny ability of conveying that emotion to your viewers. We really appreciate the effort that you and Michelle put into your videos. You are an inspiration to aspiring small channels like myself and I thank you for that.👍🏼😎
That was very nice of you! TY! 🧡😊🤓
Thank you Michelle & Brian for taking us on your "vision" of NYC because we would never go there. (I know, never say never) Great video you two. Excellent editing Brian!
Hi there, Brian and Michelle I really enjoy your videos. I enjoy the places that you go to. I really like the Manhattan video because I would love to go to New York. I would really like to see more of how you are living in your van because I am thinking of getting one
Be sure to watch all videos regardless of what the title says. We include little things here and there throughout different videos in the past. We try not to show the same things over and over though to make them interesting for everyone. Also, we have an episode scheduled 2 weeks from today that may spark your interest. 😊🤓
What an excellent tour of NYC you provided! I really enjoyed seeing all of the sights, and didn't know they had a campground in the city, how cool!
So glad you enjoyed it! 🧡
My wife and I were just there at the end of September!!!! We stayed in the spot next to the movie screen. Really nice place and had no trouble with our truck and trailer getting there
You guys are brave. A lot of people does not equate safety, keep that head on a swivel. We grew up too close to NYC, but glad you had a good time. The 911 memorial is a must ! You did a great job of showing the beauty of NYC. As a firefighter family, we experienced 911 first hand and won’t ever go back to NYC.
Your videos have always been good but ever since the prison video they have been top notch. Thank you for sharing. Very interesting and great footage.
Great video.Thank You for a peek at the noisy side of America.Enjoy the natural beauty videos,but this was awsome.What a great country we live on.Stay safe!!
That was a fantastic tour. I have no desire to go there but I can see how this would be a great way to experience it. The closest I got was Liberty Park in New Jersey and thought the skyline was pretty spectacular but since I don't do crowds, I'll probably never go into the city. Thank you for this great view of an interesting and fun place.
I think it would take 2 r 3 lifetimes to see n experience everything in this country n still miss things!😊😊
What a great video and brought back great memories from my last trip to New York. Thank you for just showing us beautiful places with wonderful background music. Really appreciate no ads, no money requests etc. know these videos are lots of work. Thank you.
LOVE this video! I lived in NYC for several years and this video really makes me miss the City. I loved living there. ❤
What a great video! Who knew Brooklyn had a campground?! Thank you for sharing that. Must have been a culture shock going from Manhattan to Hershey in one day! 🤣
👍🏻😊
Yes! 😂
Beautiful views and volumes of history.
A great video. You are doing all my favorite places Lake Placid, Corinth and now NYC. New York city is one of my favorite places. I love Ellis Island. Thanks for sharing.
Ohh you were in my n neck the woods!! Well kinda… I life in the east end of Long Island.. close enough. Lol. You guys did more in those few days than I have ever done living here! Great job!
Isn't that the truth. I too live on LI. NYC is so close yet we see the sites through RUclips visitors.
Well done guys I think that was the best tour of New York I have ever seen having never been there
Your selection of background music is spot-on, perfect.
OBTW, the Today Show scene had someone holding a sign from Millikin University, right across town from us!
Yes, it was a volleyball team that was waiting in line directly in front of us before entering. 😊🤓
Another great video! As NYers, we enjoyed seeing Manhattan from your perspective.
We were at this same campground last weekend. Visiting family in the Brooklyn area.
Very nice video. I like the way you present the places you travel - unpretentious, and informative. Your videos are also of high quality - nice colors. What kind of cameras (reasonable in price) for personal use - not for Utube, would you recommend? Thanks!
The newer iPhones take great videos but they lack in low light performance or any shots taken in the direction of a light source which is what causes the light orbs. Otherwise the quality is very good and hard for most people to tell the difference with a high end camera other. We used only the iPhone in this video to keep us looking more like a tourist. Used the DJI wireless mic. We’ve been using this setup a lot lately. Road shots are GoPro Hero11. We did recently buy a new Sony full frame camera that I am still trying to get used to. Not near as easy to operate. An iPhone and GoPro are so simple. Point and shoot and use cinematic mode for bokeh background.
Loved this weeks adventures. Looks like you were busy as always. Have to admit, at the end, watching you guys pulling into Hershey TT brought a smile to my face. It was there that we got to know a very special couple of friends. Safe travels, guys!!!
🧡😊🤓
One of your best episodes!
My Great Grandparents and Grandmother came through Ellis Island in 1908. They came from Poland. Escaping the Czar. My grandmother was 3 months old.
Thank you for the views from Rockefeller Center.
If you are still in NY make sure you get good bagels & a Taylor ham egg& cheese on a bagel it is yummy.😊
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll have to try it next time. 👍🏻😊🤓
Or a "baconeggandcheese, with sal-pepa-ketchup"
Who would have thought a pavement campground would be so conveniently located in NYC. I have family in NY, and you'd think you knew of everything. NYC is just to big to know everything. Fantastic video of NYC for anyone who has never been. Love it!
Nice video of the city. Not on my bucket list of cities to see, much too busy. Hope you had a great time in Hersey. We just got back from Vegas, lots of fun with friends.😎🤓🥸
I was there in 2013 and absolutely fell in love with the place. Such a fun city to explore. Can’t wait to go back 😊
Really enjoyed this vlog. I’m wondering if you have ever gone out to the east end of Long Island. Lots to see and both the north shore and south shore are really beautiful
We have not yet. So much to see
Those old buildings are part of our History and so is NY.. Excellent video!
Cool video guys. We have never been to NYC. I bet you had a great time.
That’s a beautiful song you both were singing! I hear both of your voices, Brian and Michelle, singing that song at the 20-minute mark, and it is really beautiful!
Great video! Been to NYC a few times. Really would like to go back!
Another great video!!! Thank you! 😊
Your filming of the 911 Memorial is beautifully done. Thank you.
Another fantastic video!
We really enjoyed this episode! The views! The quirky but clean RV park! Really looked like a nice trip! ❤🗽
Love the video. This is where my son wants to visit...thanks for showing us. What all new York has to offer...
My Grandma came through Ellis is;and in 1896, the old building. This video is excellent! I’ve enjoyed it so much! You guys do a great job 😊
Was there once for the preseason NIT tournament at Madison Square Garden over Thanksgiving when our Ohio University Bobcats won the tournament💚💚💚
So enjoy visiting the old oldest of churches…..
Wow! You guys do some things I never would have thought of, but this one takes the cake. Or pie, whatever. RV in NYC as a tourist is unbelievable!
Excellent video. The music, your “accent” and attractions shown perfectly.
Beautiful vlog! Thanks for taking us along. I went to NYC with my parents in the 70’s witnessed a knife fight at Times Square. I was 12. I will never forget that but I would love to go back someday because it is a beautiful city!😀❤️
Picking lint from the toes statue 😂😂😂😂 yep I noticed 😂😂😂😂
Such a lovely video! NYC as I’ve never seen before. So refreshing 😍
Thank you for taking us along on another one of your adventures!
Just thoroughly enjoyed your video. Your camping experience was cool with drive in movies. Great video!
Another wonderful video. So happy you took us along with you. As busy and hectic as New York City is it still is amazing. Safe travels to Hershey. 🙏🇨🇦
Man, I hate those dead end exits in cemeteries 👻 Great editing & thanks for taking us along for some important history. We haven't been since the service for Vinnie's dad in 2020. "Dad" worked as a welder on the Word Trade towers. We always visit Brooklyn (where Vinnie was born) and get arancini on Avenue U. Thinking we'll take Stella & Wally to Skyline ~ safe travels ! VW
We don’t plan to visit again so we really enjoyed seeing NYC through your eyes and beautiful video. My grandparents came through Ellis. Mom bought an engraved tile with their names that’s imbedded in a wall there. This over nonna’s objections. The newly weds spent a miserable month there before approval to continue so had no love for the island.
That was great!! Your videos just get better and better. Thank you so much!!!
Great video- this is the first video I’ve seen that made visiting NY appealing
Fabulous video Bryan and Michelle. We went to NYC in 2011 and loved it! Spent 2 days as we were on holiday based in Mystic, Ct. and took the train down. You are right. You have to look at the good things! 🥰
Great episode. Loved seeing NYC from your view. Thanks, as always,
Thank-you Brian and Michelle for sharing your world! From being housebound due to poor health it's an uplifting spirit you both provide for people like me. I virtual travel thru you! I greatly appreciate that you brighten my day! Safe travels and until next time. God Bless
P.S. My mother was a German immigrant who went thru Ellis island in 1952. So seeing this is very important to my legacy. Thanks 👍
🧡
You two have done it again. Another very interesting and entertaining video. I am impressed!
Just came across your channel today. So far, I’ve liked, subscribed, set notifications for new vlogs, now, here is the comment. WOW… I felt like I was touring New York right beside you both. Great video quality and the excursions and views were incredible.
Excellent job on the video/vlog Brian and Michelle..Thank you for sharing it...
if you have not seen it go to the frick museum. amazing walk through an old steel magnate home and collected art work.
Thanks for the suggestion! 🧡 We’re long gone now but this is something to add for next time. 👍🏻😊🤓
Great job on this video! You convey the feel of the city in such an artistic way. Loved it!
Great video on the positive side of NYC! The music was great too.
Love your NYC video. Especially the Ellis Island visit. We were in Cobh, Co.Cork last June and that's where Annie Moore left for the US. She was the first person to be processed on Ellis Island. I thought the best thing about the Empire State Building was that you get a great view of the Chrysler Building. Safe travels, love from Scotland
Beautiful and moving presentation. Well done. Thank you. ❤️🇺🇸🗽
I did not think I would want to see NY/NY. But you made it seem so much more doable and interesting.
We think everyone should experience it at least once. So much to see and do.
Interesting way to see NYC. I noticed the Lake George shirt. You were up our way in Bolton at the Algonquin. Oh how many times we docked there with our boat. We have great memories from boating on LG for over 30 years. This was a first year RVing after selling boat early this year. We now travel in our class b Pleasureway and have used several of your ideas to organize. Safe travels.
Welcome to NYC, my home. Look like you guys had an amazing enjoyable time. Enjoyed the video 😊😊😊
I really enjoyed watching your visit to NYC.
Really enjoyed this video, makes me want to visit NY again! Great job, thank you!
Thank you. Great and helpful video and loved yr music choices!
We love her subway face
😂🤓
What a fantastic video! Loved every minute of it. You guys do such great job putting those videos together👍👍👍☀️🎃🌼
That was a great video. I am just amazed that place is still above water with all the structures. I'm certain if I ever went it would sink. 😂 That pizza sure looked yummy...next we see chocolate😊...safe travels
Wow guys. That brought back some memories. When I emigrated from Scotland to the USA in 1981 I lived in Rego Park in Queens NY for about a year. I went to several of the places in your vlog and some have changed but some remain the same. When I saw "Wall St & Broad" it reminded me of driving down there in Lizzie's 1967 Chevy Impala and getting stopped at the traffic lights by guys trying to clean your windshield & asking for money! heading to FL in a couple of weeks. Hope to see you for margaritas!
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. Margaritas soon.
Beautiful church, thanks so much for sharing. 😊
Great video. Love travel watching your videos. 😊
Love your videos. I missed a pie review!!!!
Great job Guys! Very well done!
Love 💕 thanks for sharing
Thank you Great Video enjoyed very much.
Great video of your time in NY City ❤️😊👍👍👍 Thank You
AB Roadrunners A great video . I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Stay safe.Hope to see you down the road.
Great episode you made it look good.
Just wondering if you use an ai platform to creat the voice over. If so what is it. Love this video
No. Glad you enjoyed it.
Ohh…eating at Lidia’s restaurant. really authentic.
Thanks for the info about a camping possibility in NYC. That might be a possibility for a wedding we are planning to attend in 2024.
I’ve never been interested in going to NY city. The huge crowds I really don’t like, but I have to say Ellis Island and the Empire State Building looked interesting, something I think I would like to see 😁👍 one of these days you two will want to eat pizza at the same time 😂😂 safe travels!!
I ❤️ NYC
Love the video, cool RV park. By the way you missed Alexander Hamilton’s grave. He is buried at the Trinity church cemetery.
Thanks. Very interesting. You miss a lot touring that city and no way possible to see everything in such a short time. It was getting close to supper time as mentioned and we needed to keep moving along to get to the 911 memorial eat and walk back to the ferry to make sure we caught it. As many know, Michelle and I love to read the headstones at old cemeteries. (Her probably more than I though) 😂
We could of spent quite a bit of time there if we had it.
Another fabulous video. If you started a tour company I’d love to travel with you.
$115/night is well worth it for NYC.
❤😊
I never dreamed of being able to camp so close to NYC. The night skyline is beautiful. Would u recommend this place?
Safe travels!
We LOVED staying there, we would definitely recommend staying there.
If all the building were Redwoods, I would be more impressed. Skyscrapers aren't my thing.
We enjoy nature more as well, but this video is not all about skyscrapers if you watch the entire thing.
Love the NY accents 😂
Great video tour, thank you. What was the name of the RV park where you stayed?
Skyline RV Camp I was thinking we had the name scroll at the bottom left…no?
Didn’t realize that was the name… thank you ✌️
