Night Time New York City 😮 Unfiltered Raw Footage of NYC at 3 AM Reveals Reality Beyond the Glamour 

I was last there in 1980"s. Alive and exciting. The New Yorkers were kind and patient with a 30 something Southern girl from Atlanta, Georgia. Bless them.

What a place to be when the power & water goes out forever 🫠

The city was nice on summer nights. We used to dance until daylight and then get Chinese food. I'm a grandfather now. My son is NYPD. "Sunday morning in Harlem everyone's all dressed up. The hip just getting home from the party and the church folks just got up"😅

Younger days; I'm 6 2"" long legged wm with a long stride and I could walk the city in hours. I was motivated. Wore a stocking hat and grey jacket to blend in. I loved the excitement.

Retired NYC Carpenter In and out of so many of those buildings you would call me a liar Commuted from queens on Bikethe 90s , till I left Left 4 years ago THANX for the Ride

You’re walking through the nice part of the city. Go stroll through the south Bronx @3am and you’ll get a drastic change in scenery. 😂

In my younger days I would not be scared but now in my seventies I think I will stay home.

Thank you man for keeping that baby safe for a moment......irresponsible parents 😢

Excellent video quality!

After watching this video I am so thankful for my small hometown.

I have. Absolutely. No desire to go to New York City.

I used to want to visit this place.....I don't anymore

I live on an island in Canada with about 4000 residents - I much prefer the serenity over non-stop noise and people!

3am and parents still have their little kids running round 🫢

I ran theses streets in my 20s and early 30s. Like most things it has changed..but still the city..your video is solid, thanks for the memories

I’m saddened to see what has happened to NYC. My husband and I honeymooned there in the 80’s. It was fantastic! Now it’s dirty, trash piles everywhere, barriers, lane closures…..after seeing this video, there is no way I would ever return.

11:42 my man arguing with his doll 😂😂

I’d like to see Greenwich Village at 3 o’clock in the morning

Grew up there. Escaped to the suburbs when my wife became pregnant. Now watching this in a safe toxic free zone not missing it.

I love Americans. Cheers from Sydney, Down Under.

I went there 20 years ago and it was the most impressive city I've ever seen. I think it still is. NYC has a personality unlike any other city. ❤

These must be all the people that work the swing shift (4 to 11). The 9 to 5 people are most likely at home sleeping. Last time I was in nyc was in 1993 and it was so amazing to me. Thanks for the virtual tour!

Glitz and grime. Two sides of the same coin...

this is nothing like home alone 2

I enjoyed the tour thank you.

I’m the type of guy that gets offended when you talk negative about my city. Too many memories. New York is the city that taught other cities how to be cities. (Lemme clap back a minute and set the record straight!) If a New Yorker visited your little town he was viewed as a celebrity. (That guy is from New York. Oh wow!”) No town, no country, no people had more clout than us. The moment the Dutch landed here it was about business. Money! “Money” allows other things to be created. “A business man” from anywhere else who thought he was hot learned quickly that he was not when he came here. “The entertainment industry” was born on these same streets. When television was new, all the writers came from here. Why? They were New Yorkers. We know everything. We did everything first. Talking bad about New York in 2024 is like talking about the guy that invented the wheel when he became an old man. Most of the things young people think are “cool” today were invented by a New Yorker. Pop music today is hip hop based. Hip Hop is a New York invention. Keep walking straight for about 100 blocks, cross a bridge, make a right then a left… That’s where hip hop was born. The subway? Millionaires and poor people used to use it together. Nobody knows your business in New York so you can be whatever you want to be. We don’t care. Every single day of my childhood was like a movie. You couldn’t wait to go outside. When you were home you’d be missing something. Then you’d be pissed that you weren’t there. We’re storytellers because we got more stories than anywhere on earth. You can’t “out verbal” a true New Yorker. People hated us because of you sucked, it was our job to let you know. New Yorkers were not nice! Nice is fake. New Yorkers were kind! If you ever were in trouble and needed help, it was your lucky day if a New Yorker was around you. We knew how to do everything. In the mind of a New Yorker, everybody else was stupid 😂. People hated us and we knew why. It’s a fast town so if you hold up the line, even an old lady would be like “cmon hurry up. What are you new? You can’t count or something? Then others would chime in and we’d crack up laughing. But if you didn’t have enough money someone would give it to you. Rough but kind. Best place in the world to be broke was NY. Nobody looked down on a broke person. I’ve had amazing philosophical conversations with guys that lived in a cardboard box. We never looked down on the poor. Everybody was an entertainer . Bold and high minded. We had reason to be. We New Yorkers! Not a town for the timid! But if you were timid you could easily find your personality type. I didn’t know what I was a part of till I went other places. There’s no “other place” like NY.

I’m in U.K. watching this I can’t believe how busy it is there at that time of the morning too 😮

I gotta admit as a country boy this is not what I expected to see, I’m surprised how clean and neat the streets and sidewalks are for the most part. I watched the whole video, kinda got caught up in it,mesmerizing in a way. I was all ready to make a derogatory comment before I began watching but now I’ve had a change of heart.

You have my appreciation for the work you do, making cities accessible to us, from the comfort of our computer area's. I have never been to NYC but have heard about it all my life. At 62 I am moving with my daughter from West Palm Beach, Florida to the suburbs outside of Chicago. I grew up in the Southeast of the USA. Learning about the North of the USA has been SO interesting to me. I look forward to experiencing the true change of seasons. Everything seems older in NYC as compared to South Florida. People love the idea of living near the ocean. I moved to Palm beach county back when the Miami Vice tv show was popular. I remember seeing on the weather channel that it was cooler there than in Alabama. What I have since learned is the power of HUMIDITY and SUN intensity which cannot be seen in pictures or on video. Experiencing the combination for 40 years has worn me down. Good luck to all the people moving to Florida. They're going to need it. Again, thank you for these video's. I thoroughly enjoy them and they are very educational!

Love N.Y. thanks for this. To everyone else. New York is a real city where life happens. Go see it yourself its brilliant

Mamma always said: nothing good happens after 12am.

the quality of camera is great , the best i see , what camera or phone you use ?? just curios

I wish there was people up like that here in Massachusetts at 3 a.m. when it's hard to sleep at night some nights I stay up all night,ty

My daughter and I were there Christmas 2018. We had a great time. Haven't laughed that hard since then. A vacation we'll always cherish. ❤😂🎉

Ok guys, for the ones who never experienced these types of behaviors… it’s NY. In the 80’s, we used to spend hours until 4AM at the arcades in Time Square… its typical NYC juvenile behavior. We had lovely parents (some of us), but its NY, and kids in NYC will do what you think kids in NYC would do lol…. Have fun.

It’s TRUE THE CITY THAT DOESNT SLEEP 💤

I always wanted to go the NYC and get a Big Mac and large fries.

I’m really interested to know what kind of system you have rigged up to record with. You can take really smooth video while covering ground very quickly at times. All while navigating some tight spaces.

You video taped my old stomping grounds before I moved to TX 4 years ago. Thank you for bringing me back some memories.

Although I spent many a nights in and around Times Square area during the 70's-2000 my main experience with Times Square is as a bike messenger from 79'-83. I can relate to your perspective riding around at night. Me during the day but I can still recognize it all. NYC will always be dirty. Nothings changed.

Great filmmaking man. Loved it👍

All I can say is WOW! Thank you for a very enjoyable ride along. It's like once the sun goes down everything in Manhattan there seems to come alive with glitter and excitement. On your youtube clip I've seen areas of city I haven't seen in a long time. Again, it was indeed a very enjoyable ride along. Bless you my friend.

This is spectacular!! Thank you. All is see are stars and black sky at night. This was a sure pleasure to watch!

Nyc at 3 am is busier than my dt Friday rush hour😂

visit for the art and museums, parks and libraries, bookstores and restaurants-definitely worth it

Wow! You put out some really phenomenal videos. I don't know how you do it. It's as if you are floating above everyone else moving at a fast rate of speed, but slow enough for us to enjoy it and take in the sights. At times, it seems as if you will run into people and cars but it never happens. It's truly Amazing! lol

The sidewalks seem quite clean and I don't notice a whole lot of vacant storefronts.

As someone from the Midwest that used to small towns, this makes me anxious yet it eerily peaceful

That is nothing like Los Angeles, this actually is pretty nice compared to other large cities.

New York City is not the same city that was 10 years ago. I'm afraid to be on the streets on day or night, many people feel that way too 😢.

I would never want to live in New York.😮 Even birds don't sleep. Thanks for sharing.👍

People who have never been to NYC have no idea how massive it is.😐 It is unbelieveable. Huge.

Excellent camera work; steady advancement; always smooth; sweeping panoramas; up, down, all around; right through the very heart of it; while on the forward move. A#1 Videographer: top of the list; King of the hill; New York, New York 👍

Поездка супер друг мой,лайк всяко тебе мой друг.За приятную поездку.

I was surprised by the lack of groceries market mom and pop used to be all (in the 1960 and 70'all over, now only one Whole Foods market.

I’m a film producer at Warner Bros. Discovery and a avid cyclist, I live in Los Angeles and it’s been a long time since I’ve been to Manhattan I appreciate that you take the time to share now I know what to expect when I arrive next spring, what are you using must be a electric scooter let me know.

I walked this area last week but not that late at night.

I love this video! Thank you for making it. I have to know what are you riding on? It’s so smooth lol

So glad you were there for that little boy! If You hadn't been there who knows what could have happened.

Look much safer than in the late 90 s , i use to go there every night to eat at the Mac Donald and on my way back to the subway the emptyness of the streets was making it creepy.

My town! Still love the memory of it. The video starts on 30th street and 8th avenue then heads north. 8th avenue has been “seedy” since the early 60s. I couldn’t find a clock but I knew its was late at night (or early in the morning. Same thing) 95% of the people you see were not born in a New York hospital. So you’re not seeing true native New Yorkers. But it’s midtown Manhattan. The first place most out of towners go. I know people that came to visit for the weekend and wound up staying 40 years never returning home . They got trapped by something and remained. Even people on their honeymoon. I don’t see (memory associate) New York with what this video shows. I got a story for just about every block shown in this video. America was always two things. New York and everywhere else.

Best video I’ve seen of New York want to visit can’t afford to live there but want to visit. I’m awake most of the night so that’s my kind of place to visit

You stopped one block short of mine when you were walking up eighth! I like to go out when its late abd i have the city to myself. I half expected to see my self in your video!

It looks much better than I expected.

It's been many years since I've been in the city and boy does it sure look like it's lit up

This is neat!! Thank you!! ❤🫶🙏

OMG, what an absolutely superb nighttime journey along the streets and sidewalks of NYC. Question: are you and the camera on an electric vehicle of some sort? Thanks for the great video!

Before Covid, the city was soooo different. I have major nostalgia for that time. I left in 2022

It still looked nice AF to me

New York The city that never sleeps

Starting in the late 60’s till about the 90’s I used to go all the time. I live on Long Island and I’m about 10 blocks from the train station. I went when Deblasio was mayor and that was the end of my shopping and restaurants. I’ll never spend another cent there! No need!

The Earth could use a good cleansing. It'll probably happen sooner than later.

That was fantastic, very well done .

And yet, NYC:s streets look HELLA better, cleaner, quieter and safer than the streets in downtown Spokane Washington.... I wish our streets look half at decent ANYTIME OF DAY OR NITE!!! Had you asked me even 15/20 years ago... I wouldn't have EVER imagined it to be this bad an😢d that we would be jealous of NYC streets! Holy 💩😝

this is a great way to see NY.....

Night vidio of New York, is a better, other usually video.Thank you.

thank god for the truckers getting it done--NY is one hour from going to complete mayhem,chaos when the day comes the trucks do not move...freaking sad,scary

Amen!! You said that so well my brother in Christ

Thanks for showing it all!!

What in God’s holy name are they doing out there with children at 3AM?!?! Not to mention, they aren’t watching them! Anyone could have grabbed that toddler and taken off with him! What is wrong with people?!?!

If this is the great American dream I think I’ll stick to Benidorm😳 Can’t believe so many people out at 3am it’s crazy

Getting division 1 vibes! the postal building,madison square garden, scaffolding Along the way

I've missed the NYC I lived in and left in 1995 always wondering if I would ever return. I am a city person. But at this age, the feeling of vulnerability would stop me from enjoying it. It's true. You can't go home again. Besides, I was so dang cold. Thanks for a great ride.

I'm not afraid of it or anything some of the other posters are mentioning regarding homelessness or dirty streets. I just think it looks dull. Incredibly boring compared to what it was 30 to 40 years ago. The nightlife seems Dead to me. At 3 AM in New York 30 years ago those streets would've been 10 times more crowded. Theree used to be after hours clubs and regular bars open till 4 AM people, forget that last call for most bars in York is not 2 a.m. it's 4 AM. I didn't see any of that in this video. For me the most depressing part of New York is just how horribly boring and corporate it is

WHAT THE HELL TIME IS IT. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!

Greatest city in the world

Nice footage. What cam did you use? Incredible how this city really never sleeps.

Thank you so very very much for your video.

I used to live in a few smaller cities and I don't miss it now. You could walk for days and still just see sidewalks and buildings.

are you walking or riding something cool video

Thanks for posting this. Truthfully I was on the edge of a panic attack! Seriously. The children out at 3 am. The people lying on the sidewalks. The trash and filth. It is such a shame but the people who live there love it all Freedom to live where we want!

Top Tour,Thanks 😎👍

Neat place, Always wanted to check it out but never will especially now... Kewl lil tour. So peaceful at 3am

Yeah I’m not missing anything in NY I’ll live my life on my 8 acres with pond and the country on John’s island 🏝️ SC I’ve seen 3 people today and they were all family lol

very beautiful Newyork walking tour for me. I love American People so much.🥰😍🤗🤗🙏❤🤍💙🇺🇲💪🏻👍🎉🎊🔥

Bro, I know New York is packed, but this can’t be a Tuesday @ 3am! WOW!!! I have never seen that many food trucks out during a weekend, let alone a week day (@ 3 in the morning).

What type of camera are you using? Video quality is excellent

I was in NY two weeks ago, latest I stayed out was 12:30😂

Great Channel ! What camera du you use? and what settings?

Wonderful! I love NYC
