There's something oddly comforting about cities at night. All the cars, the lights, the nightlife; it shows you that people are working, living, and having fun all around you, at a time that is supposed to be hostile towards humans; nighttime. And having people all around you is the best feeling in the world. Cities aren't dystopian concrete jungles, they're beautiful places where humans from all backgrounds come together.
There's something about dense cities with skyscrapers everywhere that gives me as much joy as being around nature. And I guess NYC is the original skyscraper city. Greetings from Kuala Lumpur.
Thank you very much for the kind words! Erik made the call on the tilt-up at the end, he wanted to get the Liberty Tower in the shot, I did not even know he did this until I saw the footage after the fact so he deserves credit for that. Of course if it didn't look right I'd have cut it out, lol.
Agreed; the music adds an almost sublime pleasure to the videos, like you're almost gliding along, watching the scenery pass by as you explore some of America's great highways and byways...
Good Ol' New York City.FDR Drive is so beautiful. This is more to the city than the tourist hotspots of Midtown Mahattan and the craziness and jungle like enviorment of lower Mahatten.
I love FDR Drive, it’s just so fun and pretty to drive on, It just feels so nice. I read a few reviews from out of state people, who said to watch out for the speed demons on the road. LOL!
Thank you for posting this video! It brought back fond memories of my speed demon days, tearing down the FDR fangs out in my bro's Audi just for the sheer joy of it! 😈
Your videos are great. Keep it up. Even though i've never been to New York I can get a glimpse of the magnitude of the city. NYC the finance, cultural, fashion, entertainement, etc capital of the world! Great vid!
This is serious white-knuckle driving. And I've always loved this song for driving. It's great for high speed, particularly if there are expansion joints, which the FDR seems to have an abundance of.
i haven't yet but i did see your morning NYC video when you went over that bridge i really liked that one too, and by the way great choices of music on your videos! It creates a perfect vibe for each video really well!
I really like your videos. Really good video quality and also the music is great! I have discovered so many great songs by watching your videos :-) I also like the information screens about the history of the highways. Very nice. The FDR really is nice by night. Not as much traffic as during daytime :-) Keep up the good work!
Anthony Bryant Seriously? The only city in America that can realistically compare to New York is Chicago...Atlanta and New York is not a realistic comparison other than the fact they are both cities...they are so very different from each other, I could spend an hour on the subject....have you visited both Atlanta in NYC? what do you base the comparison on?
Haha, June 15th is my birthday! NYC is a seriously cool city. Last time I vistied, I walked from the UN building right round the bottom half of the island and up again to 34th street on the west side along the parks and tracks etc, and I spent half my time watching traffic on the FDR, taking photos of the bridges and the piers, the Staten Island Ferry was good fun too, and it was Hallowen 2008, anyone remember it was unseasonably warm? Thanks for the trip down memory lane, made my evening!
Don't know what makes the former American International Building (70 Pine St.) so interesting to me. It just is. Only was in New York a couple times in back in '03. Tried to con my way into the A.I. building to get to the glass rotunda observation deck to get some photo's of ground zero, but to no avail. I could be wrong but I think it's the narrowest building over 900 feet. One of NYC's last Art-Decos.
