The Dark Side of Lower Manhattan Walking Tour 

As a Black America I really appreciate your commentary on the slave mart in NYC. I've never heard of anyone speaking of this before. You force us to subscribe with your brilliance! I'm tuned in!!!

I interviewed for a job in lower manhattan. The energy down there felt very heavy and dark. It Makes sense now with the history and everything that happened.

Loving these "Dark Side of" series. More more!

Interesting stories of lower Manhattan, and thanks for keeping it real regarding NYC's role during slavery. Great tour as usual, Tom.

Absolutely love these tours 😂 humor and commentary always 11/10

Needed this today. Love ya Tomski!

Excellent tour guide, Mr. Tom...Great job!

This was a pleasant surprise!! Thanks for posting!!

Loved this video! I used to live down in that area during college and it was so neat to see all of these spots after so long. Great information!

This guy is just so smart....Wish I was in his circle of friends.

Dark indeed. Awesome video Tom. I can't wait for the next video

My grandpa told me about the Subway Vigilante earlier this year. A few years ago there was an art installation in the old Domino Sugar factory in Williamsburg highlighting the slaves who worked on the sugar. There were statues made of sugar including slave children and a huge mammy-spinx. It smelled terrible in there, but it was a great exhibition. The artist is Kara Walker.

Well done Tom, another great video.....Keep going pal!

Wow 4k Tom... im Shook!!! Another great informative video. you are the best.

This was the first video I found today and I enjoyed it very much. Love the knowledge and your sense of humor. Keep up your good work.

Interesting video!! Really enjoyed watching this video!!

Tom I have to watch one full ad and I can't even skip till the second ad, congratulations u made it 🤙🏻

Awesome Tom. I’d like to hear your take on the tunnels of NYC and what’s beneath Grand Central!

Most excellent channel ! I can’t stop watching. Such interesting history.

You always bring the most interesting information that even we native New Yorkers aren't aware of. Still catching up on past videos. So glad I came across your channel. I'm hooked!! Thank you for what you're doing here.

Another interesting wander around NYC. Thanks for sharing Tom & merry Xmas!

Not sure how I stumbled upon this video, but this is absolute gold. New subscriber and thumbs up from Boston!!

I love your video tours ... but also love the history you add to these ... awesome stuff, guy!🟪

Thanx Tom. Love ❤️ your videos. Can't wait to get back to NY. ❤️ from Sydney Australia.

Fantastic video Tom as usual funny informative

just discovered your fabulous channel……love that you report on the dark reality of my favourite city…subscribed and shared my new discovery with friends🙂

Quality work. I am sure you’ll have a hit show. Thank you

Love hearing your take on our little home town

This is the first video of yours that I’ve ever watched you seem like a pretty good likable dude so I’m gonna watch more of your videos

Trivia: at the 2:04 mark… the 3 windows above the pock marks was JP Morgan’s private conference room, overlooking the corner of Wall and Broad Streets. You had to pass through his private office to enter it. I managed the company’s move from 23 to 60 Wall Street in 1989

Thanks for the great history lesson , you the man . Mr Delgado ❤️

Thank you for your tour. Happy Holidays to you.

Entertaining and interesting facts. Better the other nyc tour guide video I’ve seen, truly.

Interesting stories on historical events not aware of, especially of the Sugar Houses and the Subway Vigilante. Thank you for being so down-to-earth and for your authenticity!

I was waiting for the lush vocals and Tom delivered! I truly love wagon wheel

Great informative tour! Keep it up 👍

I see your content flourishing, keep the pace up!

Great tour of the dark side. I remember the days of random muggings well. Seems like we may be headed back there again

Awesome video Tom. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great tour my friend, thank you for your story

👍👍 For the tour info .. like the spooky muzik too .

Hi Tom. Another great video. I'm glad you mentioned Henry Clay Frick, since I'm from Pittsburgh, where he also had a mansion and was laid to rest. Keep making more interesting videos.

Good stuff. Very informative and I like the delivery. Your character cracks me up. Haha

As always… thanks for the education ✊🏽

Interesting video, as always. Happy Holidays Tom D.

Just subscribed. Love how unabashed you are. Fresh! Really enjoy your pieces. Armchair insider travel. Doesn’t get any better than that! Thanks!

Love these videos, they are so entertaining!!! Always very informative about NY events that have taken place. So interesting, please keep them coming. Any Teddy or Franklin Roosevelt type tours in the future?

Thank you super interesting love the narrative you guys are great ♥️

Always enjoy you videos, tysm👏🙌🙏

Really enjoyed this. Thankyou

Good looking host. The book in the back pocket accentuates another part of the physical. The last time I was in Chinatown was a dark cold evening. I was lost.

I enjoy the hell outta these! History is fascinating, despite some of it being grim and bummer-y. Side notes: 1- Models and bottles sounds like a godawful nightmare. 2- I don't think I need to tell you who "wrote" Wagon Wheel. 3- Your gopnik pose is on point, comrad! 😉

Brilliant video thanks for sharing 👍

Dude… your videos are absolutely brilliant. Visiting New York City this coming October and will be absorbing your content in the meantime! Thank you!

Another masterpiece.Id love to see a Rockaway Beach Tour.Merry Christmas!

Great job bro love your videos 👍🏾

Came for the content, stayed for the comedic timing. Had a great laugh, thank you! So good

1st timer here ! Born & raised in NY and working throughout lower Manhattan. These are the exact locations I’ve worked super close by (Tjmaxx on broad st), Citibank by chambers. Thank you for this history. Looking forward to more videos. Keep on with the movement !

I work up the block lol this is dope man. Thanks for these vids!

I definitely enjoyed this. My kids are wanting to move to manhattan for school so nice to brush up on my dark history. Thanks!

Thank you from my heart for this very interesting video.❤

Very interesting and wish I’d found all these spots when I visited many years ago. Thanks !

Your Bernie geotag story is wrong the 3 men surrounded him and asked for money, that’s when Getz felt threatened and discharged his gun. He was found not guilty and those that were shot and still able to walk have been arrested numerous times since.

Great job 👏 love the sense of humor

Merry Christmas Eric Thirteen! And Tom Delgado 3!

Keep up the great work my friend

Nice tour, dark but informative and entertaining. Thanks.

You crack me up brother. I go to NYC for work 1-2x a year. Definitely gonna find some of these spots

Just found your video today and subscribed. Great video.

Totally stumbled upon this channel, amazing ! Loving the content , fellow New Yorker here and quite surprised that I never heard of most of these dark Easter eggs , bravo keep up the good work

Hey Tom- Great video and it is clear that you have talent for presenting things in an intelligent and fun way. Hopefully you pitch these videos to a travel show- they are better than most things on TV these days. Best of luck and I appreciate your content!

Loved the vídeo! Thought you where posting the Foto Op, with my fat ass....🤣. Thanks for taking a break from recording to chat a bit, hopefully next time can book the tour. Love your content and should have a lot more viewers for sure! Gotta do some more Whatatown!

I was just there last month visiting from California for the first time. Very informative and funny at the same time 😂🤣😂🤣

I live in the lower East side Manhattan and I work all thru there wall st, Fulton st, pearl st, and it def has a “feel” to it like some messed up things def went on around there..

Tom I appreciate your work.... taking some still photography in those epic moments of your mental power would make auntie stimulated .. history is the foundation of the future... may you strive in your wisdom of the zoo...so many of these stories have been lost to progress..I have all the sound tracks to death wish on vinyl....maybe one day NYC for you and me will be real again.

I found you while looking for NYC travel tips and this is exactly what I was looking for. But your scaring my baby with all those dark sounds lol. Gonna spend a weekend there in March with my wife

Love your videos thank you. 👍😁💕

Great work Tom 👍🏻

Great video Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆

Stumbled upon this and as a resident in lower Manhattan some things I'm amazed I feel like a tourist also love your humor with it!! I will surscribe enjoy u

New subscriber here! I go to NYC once a year from Singapore and this is really educational content. 👍

Your the best. I miss my home town so much. You’ve taken me back home.

As a native new yorker who frequents the fidi/lower manhattan, this is truly fascinating!! So wonderful to learn all of these "hidden" bits of NY history! Thank you for the work you have put in to provide the audience with interesting and quality content.

I was in lower Manhattan just last month and never knew about this side of it. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting but dark too.

I just came to this out of curiosity but all this information is so intriguing I think I’m going to subscribe

Just found your channel dude you are awesome! How fascinating!

This channel is absolutely amazing

Thank you for making my night of work go faster ✨

Thanks for the historical tour of Lower Manhattan. I enjoy learning more history of the city. ✨🧡🧘🏻‍♂️

Thank you for this. My mother’s side of the family is from New York, Philly, and Massachusetts since the the colonial period. People assume I am descended from only free African-Americans but I know different. Family lore has it that one of my East Coast ancestors was an escaped slave from Trinidad. My 23 and Me results confirmed my Trinidadian roots. My maternal grandfather, born in 1900, was a New Yorker by way of Barbados. My father’s side is from Ohio by way of Kentucky. Perhaps from a large plantation because there’s a town there named after a white “settler” and “farmer” with our last name, a name which a lot of Black people from Kentucky share. I am a true child of the African diaspora. ❤️🖤💚

Interesting stuff. I've only spent a couple of days in NY, would love to come back one day.

My father was on the subway vigilante jury.

Good work! Nice compliment to ActionKid's upbeat videos 👍

that notation at the beginning! too funneh! :)
