More Iconic Women of New York City: Uptown Tour 

Another amazing video by the most iconic MAN of New York City

Years ago, my parents saw La Lupe at Audubon Ballroom, and they said that the place was packed with a racially diverse audience. When Lupe came on the stage, she sang and danced for over 2 hours without stopping. According to my folks, audience lost it and went bananas. They couldn’t get enough of her. My mom said that Lupe took over 10 curtain bows.

zora worked on a mural with diego rivera. exciting and useful lives. wondered what happened to mother hale....

Another classic video by Tom and outstanding camera work by Eric. Keep them coming!

Thank you Tom and Eric appreciate you freezing your butts off to get us these great videos. 😊

I look forward to every one of these videos. Tom is a national treasure!

Nice video have a good sense of humor let you guys videos make me want to go to New York to visit I'm from St Louis

Nice - another really entertaining video with great stories that I’ve never heard before. Also Eric makes a top notch straight man!

I was literally looking for an Uptown tour earlier today and you didn’t have one and a couple hours later I’m blessed with this✨

Your reference to Dick Cavett is definitely an important resource to the 60-70’s. He really was of the moment to some amazing people who really were important and usually very cool.

4:10 Tommy, breaking down literature…gotta love putting that freshman English course to use.

I absolutely love your videos, and every topic you cover! Thank you so much, your videos really gave me much confidence going to NYC my 1st time. Im a growing artist from hawaii, but will someday be able to be your patreon. I moved to the east coast to be closer to NY, love being in the pine trees & snow now. NYC history is so vast, in such a short time really. Thank you for covering all topics, these 2 Women of New York vids were realllly moving. WOW!

U kick ass love NYC need to explore more next time very soon

Another great video, thanks Tom🥂🥂🥂🥂

Ok, wow- you sing in Español, tambien?! 😉 Impressive! Learning so much from your videos- thank you!

Thank you for this great info..La Lupe. AKA. La gigigi is still one of my favorite Latin music artist. SALUDOS..

What an inspirational show! A lot of people don't receive the credit they deserve. It's sad.

Good video good content camera work excellent Tom great commentary

Hey Tom and Eric! What's up? Another awesome video!!!

Thanks for pointing me towards La Lupa on Dick Cavette. Love his interviews and that was fantastico!

Nice .like the quote and philosophy Thanks brother

Geweldig!

I love it, I always watch it sat morning next to my coffee, so I'm overdosed with caffeine lol

I know this has nothing to do with your video (I literally just started watching it two seconds ago), but I have a special request. I've seen all kinds of videos about the abandoned City Hall subway station, and I don't necessarily want to see the station. But what I AM interested in seeing is where the skylight can be seen FROM ABOVE. I THINK it's supposed to be in the parking lot of the City Hall parking lot. And there are grates somewhere where you can look down and see the station, as well. I'd love to see that. :D

good show

OMG..it’s Tommy D…in the place to be

great vid tom

Great content. Love the vids

17:33 as a tourist I do know this area because of The Met Cloisters

er, kinda of a dark video overall Since ya' on a roll "Female NYC Artists" starting off with Diane Arbus ? Thanks for the tour

I got a novel idea Tom, wear gloves!

🌻

Why not create a written version of what you do? A nice book or books with good photos. Another way to monetize maybe?

Boris Johnson was born in NY : it's not a qualification ....City of Multiculturalism

gloves?

Great job, Tom. ✊ Dick Cavett ruined all other talk shows for me.

Tom----Interesting video but Please-----a HAIRCUT is needed. No reason to appear homeless.

Captin Molly also an underground rave DJ !

How bout hey gals instead

Stop calling me a guy bro

Hi tom . that was great . those stories moved me . your great and funny and still a good singer . dont apoliegize for expressing yourself . just do as you please . i looked up de la on Dick Cavit . it was cool . thanks man . i love you for being you . 🍻

So glad I found your channel, really enjoy your videos!

Love all your NYC tour videos! Eric I see you too man. Always good to see these NYC videos of the city I was born and raised in!! Truly enjoy watching these.. Keep ‘em coming!!

"I don't even know where we are Tom." 🤣😂

Eric wasn't around for the Cuban revolution? Tell him to watch Godfather II. And at 13:29, that is so New York - the fence and razor wire extending past the roof-line.

Dang, Tom, this one was so captivating! Don't get me wrong, I love all of your videos (I just rewatched the Sydney, AU episode for the third time), but there was a little twinkle in your eye throughout this adventure. Beautiful architecture, distinct snapshots of history, remarkable women who lived remarkable lives, very pretty shots of the river and riverside environs, and . . . Eric. In all sincerity, I'd love to tell you how helpful your videos have been for me over the past two or so years, but maybe not in the comment section. I've never looked at Patreon in my life (I've not even sure if I even understand what it is!), but if I can figure it out, I'll be in touch soon. One more thing, totally unrelated to this comment: how long does it take for mushrooms to kick in?

" - Can you tell, that I wish I grew up in New York, Eric? - Yes, I can." :)))

Do fort tryon video then do van cortlandt park

4:15 it's awful to realise how many talented writers, artists musicians etc.... now recognized as famous, struggled to even live....... From Van Gogh, to Shelley to James Calvin Wilsey (Chris Isaac's guitarist), Lovecraft, Orwell, Rowling, Stephen King, Steinbeck.....etc... That appropriation from poverty is the motive behind some art forgers (van Meegeren, Eric Hebborn).... who wanted revénģe against "the establishment). Even "Girl With The Pearl Ear Ring" artist ....Vermeer.....suffered too, now one painting = $30 million

A bidet!!!!!

Charles Rangel and Adam Clayton Powell (ways) . . . oops! Can't say anything un-politically correct.

This is a wonderful video! So rewarding to hear you talk and quote Zora Neale Hurston. Here in Orlando we celebrate her in a big way at the ZORA! Festival (happening this week thru this weekend). It is a multi-day event composed of public talks, museum exhibitions, theatrical productions, arts education programming, and a 3-day Outdoor Festival of the Arts. Taking place primarily in her hometown, Eatonville, Florida (10 miles north of Orlando) and throughout Orange County. Thank you for sharing the stories of these remarkable women! Loved your first video and love even more so the second. I also enjoyed the stories of La Lupe and the birth of salsa; Clara Hale and Margaret Corbin - such resiliance, love and strength. Thank you for sharing and all you do for us to be well-informed.

hello person who keeps me company while i have my morning coffee, thank u for the uploads

If I was not from San Francisco, I would be from New York. It's ok Tom.

#ericwasthereforthecubanrevolution

TUM-olt or Tyoo-Mult ?

Hey Tom, when is your show in Feb and how do I get tix? Looking forward to seeing you and Lucie P. 🤘

Tom, I really enjoy your videos, I like the Women you chose to cover, and the two of you (Eric) are hilarious. However, I do have one thing to add. Calling Captain Molly crippled is inaccurate. Technically, I cannot use my left arm (stroke) but I'm nowhere near crippled!

Amazing that you recalled that line from Their Eyes, an incredible book. In my graduate studies I was fortunate enough to take a class in African American Literature taught by the recently deceased, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Charles Fuller. It took over 20 years in academics to be introduced to these absolutely brilliant writers. Much is written for the need to enhance African American history in our schools, but let's not forget how much we learn from each other by reading literature. Political Science and Social Studies may teach facts but literature teaches us what is in the human heart.

When are you coming on my show, Tom? Would enjoy interviewing you.

Thanks again John in Chicago
