Wow! That's exactly the time I lived in NYC and actually close to the hotel you stayed (apparently, I guess right next to Carnegie Hall) ... I keep squinting if maybe i can spot my younger self :D
Compared with today the 90's seem like a dream world... like a beautiful dream world which is lost forever and only lives on in our memories and hearts. 2020-24 seems like a nightmare compared to this beautiful footage and not just because of the pandemic, the inflation or the war in Ukraine, in general!!!!
I wasn't born in the 90's but im sure life was good back then. The 90s life would have ended on 9/11/2001 The 2010s life ended in March of 2020. Life has never been the same 😢
The late 90s were New York's golden age IMO, then 9/11 happened and it all went to sh*t. It's still a great town but things have never been quite the same since.
I was 4 years and 9 months old when this video was filmed I live in Florida I could be out playing outside around the time this was filmed we didn’t have WiFi,smartphones or tablets back then or online video game systems at 5:22 I can see a 1980s ford econoline van still being used by fedex those vans are getting harder to come by these days ones I usually see on the roads these days are the 1992-2014 models usually the later model Econoline with the newer facelift models and those new Ford Transit vans
Absolutwly nothing appealing at all about NY. In fact its even worse now Constant loud noise and skyscrapers, and a park full of people. You cannot get peace anywhere. So many cities around the world that are way more beautiful, cleaner and have friendlier people. Want to see tge exact opposite of this dump? Try quebec city in canada or gothenberg in sweden. Like night and day.
I just feel weird by watching these videos and seeing what you people are typing how good that decade was .... while i wasn't even born yet .... i wish i had grown up in the 90s life feels like shit now
Eu sempre tive vontade de conhecer Nova Iorque. Hoje estou com 52 anos, mas ainda não realizei esse sonho. Quem sabe ainda algum dia, antes de partir deste mundo…. Eu me lembro de ver os filmes dos anos 80 e 90 ambientados nessa cidade maravilhosa. Eu Nasci em São Paulo, Brasil.🇧🇷 Vivo hoje no interior do Estado. Nasci 1972 e pude aproveitar a minha infância dos anos 70 e80 e a juventude nos anos 90. Era feliz e não sabia.Não tínhamos internet,🛜 não tínhamos celular, 📱 não tinha nada de rede social ! A gente era feliz!🥰 N Brincávamos na rua sem se preocupar com o amanhã, na escola tínhamos respeito pelos professores. Cada coisa era 🪄 !Sinto orgulho de poder dizer que vivi essas décadas e não troco a minha existência pelos dias atuais. Só caos, o ser humano só vive olhando pro celular, as pessoas não conversam, as pessoas não se falam, o mundo ficou obscuro, frio. Eu sinto como se eu não fizesse parte dele e eu tivesse olhando por uma 🪟 janela… É uma pena que eu não posso voltar no tempo e tenho que conviver com o caos desse planeta 🌍… Mas é a vida…😢
I just graduated HS. This looks so old. Time sure does fly by. Need to not take anything for granted. I sure miss those days. Music was great and videos were on MTV and VH1 unlike today reality tv
I'm in my late 40s now, born and raised in NYC and still living there today. This video is a month after I returned to the city after graduating from college, and right around this time I was frantically trying to find my first real full-time job. It would take two more months to eventually land a 9-5 office job working at a magazine publisher, but man do I remember walking up and down these streets wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase -- going from interview to interview. Even though it was a rough time for me, I fondly wish I could return to this time when the city was so exciting and full of life and possibilities! I truly miss the way things were then--in my early 20s--and before 9/11 happened. Such a different vibe compared to the years that followed 2001. Thanks for the memories! Incidentally, the corner of 57th and 7th Ave where most of this was filmed is where my dentist of 18 years has his office. LOL! So I'm extremely familiar with this stretch! It's amazing how much has changed compared to how it looks today. Although some old standouts are still there. The BK Diner for one; and of course, Carnegie Hall. I was just there for a concert a few months back. I love this city!
