How cool to see this. I walked this street thousands of times and ate at Dojos so much !!! Those egg creams on the corner were pretty good !!! Thank you !!!
It all started crashing down when that GAP opened! But that Kim's video upstairs was the bomb. $1 a day - meaning just a dollar if you returned it the same day, $2 if you returned it the next day. And DOJOs was $2.99 for a grilled cheese in a pita and a side salad with that carrot dressing to die for! They had that same carrot dressing down the end of the block at Yaffa Cafe - still my all-time favorite place to eat in my entire life. Free condoms! 😂
Omg I miss this! St Marks in the 90’s was the best! My family and I spent almost every weekend there. ❤ it has changed so drastically. Went there this weekend and it was actually sad.
I was surprised at how quickly coney island high was turned into apartments. The front of the building was completely refinished, some kind of reddish brick if I remember correctly and coney island high was completely unrecognizable.
it's not cool now like it used to be. The spirit is dead. You had to be from here to know the feeling. I'm still here, but feel empty neighborhood wise.
I agree it’s not as good as it used to be but still not bad……Also compared to Midwest cities, many are like empty ghost towns and much worse. At least there’s still decent foot traffic today in NYC.
I really wish you had more footage. St. Marks in the 90's will always, and forever be my home and the best place on the entire planet. Always thinking about it, even though I still live near it, but it's fucking bullshit now. I miss Go Sushi when they made the Yakisoba outside (the owner was killed by Yakuza,) and the rehab parties that locals could go to, and coney island high, and the arcades at Sammy's and Gem Spa!
I grew up with this and granted I grew up on the tail end of this but ppl forget the seedier side of what NYC was too. Now sn I happy that there's a Patagonia store where CBGB's used to be? No but you couldn't walk around some neighborhoods of NYC without the rampant drug use being present either.
Man do I miss those times! used hang up down this street in the early 90's miss the vibe that existed then, the unique stores for tees and patches. area is so commercialized now.
I remember seeing Blue Man Group for 7 bucks. When the show was over they asked people if they wanted to see STOMP just across the street for free just to fill the audience.

😭😭😭 Just the way I remember it. My beautiful stoning ground, is gone. 😪

I lived at 10 St. Marks, next to St. Marks Books all through the '90s...What a street.
This New York.....is gone.
Worked @ Joe's CD's. on St Marks & Norman's around the corner. So much fun & cool cash too
Lived at 32 St Marks 1989-1990 in the building with Deelite... New York was different then,... more gritty and real..
Dojo's!!! across from Coney Island High!!!
Do you remember a Dojo’s right in the heart of NYU? I wonder if it was the same owner?
@@mattm3729Yes, and the menu was about the same. We'd walk from one to the next if the wait was too long at one or the other.

i was here a week ago, great place.
What camera did you film this with it's beautiful
1993? How could that be? The Gap didn't open on St Mark's until 97/98
memories...
Its amazing that there are no snowflakes yelling at the camera person to "DONT FILM ME"!!!
Agh, NYC pre-billionaire class.
You could buy and sell anything in that area.
Different era. Different today. Cool in it's own way, as always in New York.

Definitely empty now, nothing like it was… 😢

So different now. So dead.
The Revolution Will Not Be RUclipsd I like it better
Before alciada
What's that?
St. Marks place is dead.
true
t mac beyond dead, all the main stores are gone and it’s just not the same

Hell yes! Some of my best memories.
You have a good point but I'm sure there's some older people who would disagree and feel that 1905 was the golden year
Exactly how I remember..My stomps early '80's - '99... Miss these simpler(no social media) exciting times!! Glad I was there! ✌💗😎
oh man how i miss 1993 nyc. :(
I lived at 113 Saint Marks ground floor east from 90 to 93 ....those were the days....
I was wondering if I could use this clip for a video I'm doing on trying to create the Dojo soy burger dinner. I'll give credit and link back here.
No.
@@rollindust Thanks anyway. Fun to see 90s ny.
I forgot that Kim's Video was on that side of the street.
Yes, I think it moved just past dojo's nearer 3rd street.

Blue Man Group bought that building by Trash and Vaudeville.

In 1985 I ran into the guys from Stryper there! 😂
The hoodlum dressed in Polo or Columbia walking with the stupid bop from 0:50. Those guys were the bane of my existence as a teenager.
Nice and gutter
