Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! instagram.com/thetravelingclatt ♥️

As a fellow NYC Vlogger... I approve this guide :) Awesome job, appreciate all the hustling you've done this winter, it's inspired me as well.

Congrats on finishing this Manhattan guide, dude. *HUGE* undertaking

I lived in New York for over 30 years; I find this guide informative and well planned out. I have new places to visit. Thanks 👍

The vibes of this video is so chill. Love it! 🔥

It's good to have a base plan when coming to New York, but the best experiences there happen when you travel away from the beaten path, and make spontaneous decisions. People miss out on so much when they only go to the tourist attractions, you have to really dig into Manhattan and get the most out of it.

Literally Like Favorite and jump into or off too. That’s all you need for this

You really are so good at this. All the research and the work you’ve put into it is obvious. It’s fantastic. 👏🏻🙌🏻

I've been to NYC multiple times but never really had a clear schedule for just touristy sightseeing. Every time I go there is a fixed schedule because I'm a part of a big group, but always enjoy it! There is just so much things to do!

Good stuff dude. Born and raised New Yorker here and still learned some new things about this city!

I stayed in Harlem back in Feb 2019, and it was INCREDIBLE. I loved seeing everything that I could in five days. It was absolutely stunning. Getting to see, hear, and experience everything I could was absolutely incredible. Harlem was so much fun, and getting to experience Soul Food in Harlem was delicious!

Cant wait to go

As soon as all this corona shit is over, I plan on going to Manhattan, would love to finally get out of the house and see something new

Love this. Thank you for the breakdown

I saw spider man on top of the Empire State Building very cool

I live in the Gramercy Park area. More calm than a lot of NYC. and lots of good restaurants. Mid-town -- a free tour of the NY Public library on 42nd ( the one with the lions out front) is a must. The architecture and history are amazing.

make video about pros and cons of living in brooklyn and manhattan

I have seen a lot of your videos for the NYC travel guide, there are really good, I've done almost everything that you already did and I can tell this series is really helpful for first time visitors to NY or for regular visitor and I really like you are a Pixel 3 user. Congrats Bro, An Amazing Job

I went to mahhantan by train so much and i never seen that tall tower only buildings and busy streets tall buildings and restraunts and this tower that have this bell that rings sometimes

Amazing work! Tons of information, looking forward to the series

Awesome 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Im going to NYC in summer with my wife, I like how you get a lot of places that other people don't even talk about. I'll make sure I see all your videos before we get there :D

Another awesome video dude! Makes waiting for my trip in oct, that much harder!

You mentioned the High Line as being a subway-like structure, however this is not the case. While it does resemble an elevated railway or subway extension, it was actually used to carry freight. What was similar to a subway were the elevated railways or els in Manhattan and Brooklyn which were sadly demolished throughout the twentieth century. These ran on 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 9th Aves. in Manhattan and Myrtle, Lexington, 5th/3rd Aves, and Fulton Street as well as across the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn (the last true el remaining in Brooklyn is the Broadway El' where the "J", "M", and "Z" trains run; the rest are all extensions of subway lines). The High Line was originally an elevated freight viaduct for the New York Central Railroad as it would come from upstate and the Midwest to bring goods and meat to the Meatpacking District as well as Lower Manhattan. Originally, the west side was the most industrial area of New York, being situated along the Hudson River where ships could bring in foreign goods. As of 1847, Cornelius Vanderbilt's New York Central Railroad first began to carry freight and passengers to a now obscure west side station at 30th Street and 11th Ave. Below 30th Street, the line went along 10th and 11th Aves. to West Street where it turned onto Canal Street into a freight terminal. Being that the tracks were on the streets themselves like trollies yet were carrying heavy rail, the situation on and around these streets became quite precarious as large steam trains had to be flagged through the streets by men on horseback known as 11th Ave. Cowboys. In addition, the railroad industry grew so much during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that Vanderbilt was forced to create a new mainline over Park Ave. to accommodate the influx of passengers, hence the building of Grand Central Depot, Grand Central Station, and ultimately, Grand Central Terminal as it is known at present. However, this still left the issue of the freight railroad on the largely deteriorating west side. With trains still using the streets and the Irish mob based in Hell's Kitchen robbing goods from trains in the yard, the city realised that the situation had to be changed. As a result, it was decided that the line north of 34th Street would be put in a trench between 10th and 11th Aves and that the line south of 34th street be elevated (ironically as the city had planned the demolition of elevated passenger train lines in the city around the same time). So forth in 1934, the High Line was completed. The area which you said was a subway station was actually a freight station for the train to unload goods which would be brought to the factory upstairs. While this operation had worked for the following two decades, the use of railroads had greatly decreased in the U.S. due to the advent of the automobile and the airplane. The line had been truncated at Gansevoort Street in 1960 and had then been completely abandoned in 1980. Recently, the City of New York had decided to turn the abandoned line into a public park as it stands today.

Btw, Chelsea market is where food network does it's tv show recording

Spending a week in NYC very soon your channel has helped us a lot Thanks

Loved the series ! Love NYC as well, makes us want to go back so bad! 🙌🏼

I love watching the NYC videos from you, there are so many beautiful sights to see. Hope to see more such city guides from you, Tal. BTW, when RU-vidrs remark that nature is beautiful, I think they're imagining & lying to themselves. Cities like NYC are what's really beautiful.

Thanks for video

Really good video. Straight to the point and informative. Keep up the great world!

Exccellent Video! Taking my daughter next week for our first visit. I have watched SO many videos on here but this was the most helpful by far! Thanks....going to look at your other posts now. Grateful in Alabama

Thank you so much

Thank you.

Who wouldn't like this video?! Great job! Great video

Hi just want to say great videos since i will be traveling to New York in a couple of weeks, and looking for what to watch out for, cheap things to do, etc. Keep up the good work. Thanks

This video kind of makes Chicago look better

92nd view, 16th like and tenth comment. Whew! So much info! Great work! Wonderful to see you, Tal, and perfect shot of the skyline. ❤️😻

I am coming to NY for the first time in November, the week before Thanksgiving. I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering them... 1. What time does the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening? Just trying to figure out how much daylight we will have. 2. How cold will it be at that time? Do we need thick coats and layers? Just trying to figure out how to pack because it seems like its coldest there after Christmas. I have really enjoyed all of your Manhattan guide videos. I have watched all of them. They have been really helpful for me while planning my trip and Iteninary.

OMG...that amazing bro....love the video so much....😎👍

Great info !! Headed to nyc next week .. So excited

Your channels deserves so much more recognition! :) I’m going to NYC June 9-15-and because of your videos, I’m even more excited!!! Kudos to you, your channel, and your success!!! 🙌🏾💚

Was there when you were trying the dollar pizza that day. I'm so hungry now I think I'mma get me a pizza from Bruno's. Sooo hungry. Love your show. 2019

Insane video man. Impressive how comprehensively you've covered the city! Big up!

Want to explore it once in a life🤩

You forgot to say, "lets roll the intro." I said it for you though. You're welcome lol

Bro I'm literally planning my NYC travel using your video

FAN BOY HERE!!!

Keep up the great work!, Tal!

I love Manhattan when I think of New York City I think of Manhattan, then Brooklyn.

The high line is a former freight rail, it wasnt a subway line

Mate, thank you for a great job. Looking forward to see NYC live in Sept2019. 👍

@TheTravelingClatt sound a little congested. Maybe some fresh made ginger root tea with honey and lemon.

Beautiful 🥰 people

Wow! Skillshare! I can taste that 100,000!!!

Recommendation #10010: Chillin with Bemo!

I love your channel.. so helpful!

glad you are going to Arthur ave

That's great news about America

This guide is so good! I'm surprised it has such little views

Thx for the guide but i've played prototype already :)

As somebody that’s visited NYC many times, I’m surprised you mention the financial district and do not mention the 9/11 Memorial. That’s one of the most special things anyone can ever see in their life. I tell anyone I know that visiting NYC to make sure to visit it. It’s very special and extremely respectful.

7:27 hahahah.

Thoroughly enjoying your content man. You've got a great presence on camera, don't bombard with info and seem really passionate about what you do. As someone coasting on a Pacific Island, I'll eventually get to NYC and your guides will help make it a time to remember. Keep it up!

Great video. Traveling soon!! Learned a lot. Support a RU-vidr!!!

As a devote follower of this series, I feel like I hit a milestone with you. Than you for all of this work and congrats!

AMAZING

I love NYC, it has everything, the mountain, the river, the big city vibe, the museums. The only thing is that, when a New yorker gives you direction and says over there or it is close..do not believe because it meant it is an hour from where you are and it will cost you over 100 dollars if you ride in a taxi. Do not ride taxi in NYC, it is just expensive.... 100 dollars I also noticed was nothing to a New Yorker but for us who are not from NY, that is a hard earned money...LOL..

Excellent videos👍👍👍

Hoping to meet you and take a picture with you before you leave NYC.

Blu Café @ Riverside Blvd

I have heard that Flushings (?) is the best place for authentic Asian food in New York. Do you agree?

thank u

lol @ "pecking duck" --but seriously, great video. Thanks!

I went to the dollar pizza “champion pizza” didn’t have anything for dinner expecting so much for the best “dollar pizza” in NYC, which turned out not only more expensive but not worthy the money, time for finding it in the underground market 😒 I am gonna try out China town and little Tokyo today.

Hey man love your videos! How long you planning on living in nyc ?

My grandpa suggested to go there but wasn’t there

which areas of queens are you going to cover?

I stayed at the Hotel Indigo next to Katz’s just a few months ago and didn’t make it to Katz :(

What about the upper west side video??

Question: if I'm in a corner of any street, How to know which direction I should take to go up or down? ie, if I'm in the 3rd Street, how to know if I should go left or right to go to 4th Street, some newyorkers disrespectfully fooled me by saying "you have to go to that direction" but it was wrong (I know they thought inside "what stupid question he made!!"), but it is not stupid at all, I didn't know Manhattan when I visited it, Itried to check the street signs but I never know the direction to go up or down, coming from a perpendicular street, is there anything on each street corners to give you a clue?

Only 1.9k likes? Great Video! Thank You! Wish I could give 80k likes

A little help of the map would have been great for better orientation

Apparently Current USA Site

Washington heights???

Hi, very interesting,thanks, just one small complaint you talk way too fast, i don't think a lot of tourists would be able to get all that.

i thought BK was the most populated borough ?

What about Tribeca?

City of dani daniels

For your information, "boros" is term. Officially, NYC is constituted by 5 counties. Major policy like education, health, transit are approved by ny state. This is done so there is some sort of oversight on NYC mayor (actually joker from Batman movie), who often time come up with plans and policies like the joker.

The cutting out silence between syllables completely ruins this video. Why the need to edit out brief silence?

Even tho i live in Brooklyn, i'm here for the comment section

Too fast but informative

Did you go uptown at all?
