The Dark Side of NYC's Greenwich Village 

I was looking for a video to watch that would help me fall asleep and figured this looked good for that. However, I really found it funny and interesting! Now I am going to watch others by tomdnyc and I'm not tired anymore.

Another gem of a "Walk and Talk"! Keep them coming.

Amazing! Thanks for the walk and talk of The Dark Side of NYC's Greenwich Village!

Keep them coming Tom! Awesome approach to the videos!! 🔥🔥🔥

Man, I really hope you keep on making content. Your a go to guy on here for me. Love NY! From Tennessee here lol

Well that video just flew by, just like on a broomstick (get it, get it?!!) I know I keep saying this but, top work again Tom, always look forward to your uploads!

My deceased roommate remembered when the Women's Prison was standing in the 70s, and when he walked by he'd usually get catcalled.

The Village is finished, there is no Greenwich Village is over, it's the NYU Village now.

You are so entertaining and funny. How do you remember all the information stored in your head? I love your videos.

Tom, this was a fantastic video. Thanks for this

I left NY in 98 and I haven't returned since then. Thanks for bringing back so many memories of NY!

Loved this upload Tom!!! Your humor is thoroughly entertaining and awesomely weird....💯💯

Tom as tellytubby Po is truly terrifying. I'm so scared. 😨

The detailed explanation about the place makes me understand and enjoy the great video better.😀👍👍

Very informative. I had a cousin who grew up in Greenwich Village & the only thing she showed me was the coffee & tea co., where 2 play chess where 2 get hand made leather bags @ the village tannery & where 2 buy shoes I had no idea the village had such secrets, including the burial ground. WOW!

Goddamn, I've learned SO MUCH about NYC since I found your channel. Thanks a lot for another great video!

This video is awesome thank you! I live in Chelsea, close to GwV and pass by these places often so it's fun to know this history. Well done

OMG I love your wittiness TOM. Plus the editing is superb. Good Job.

scariest thing about this video is the mouse in 6:02

The scariest thing in Greenwich Village is the cupcake line at Magnolia Bakery.

Great video to watch @ 4:30 am on a sleepless night. Subscribed!

Great video, Dave. I enjoyed it immensely. Have a great week.

I like this dude. He’s a great commentator with really good info. Info on NYC that I never knew

another great tour Tom...

I am reminded by your trip to the Hudson of Il Mano Nero and the brave work of Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino...

Loved this! I lived in New York City from 1985 to 2000 and especially remember the Joel Steinberg/Hedda Nausbaum murder of that innocent child as well as the executive who was killed at the pay phone. I will always be a New Yorker at heart and look forward to seeing more of your videos, just subscribed. Love your personality and wit!

One of my favorite videos!!! Awesome job Tom!!!!

This was very interesting and fun. I'm from the East Village and was often in the West Village, too. I worked for NYU Law School in a building Edgar Allen Poe lived in. I haven't heard the story about the women and their families talking loudly from the Women's Prison windows since my Mom told me about it when I was a little boy. Well, now I'm going to watch your East Village Walking Tour and see if you remind me of Jeff Goldblum in that one, too.

Love your tours, so good, so much great info, your sense of humour and sound effects make it easy to watch, but are you ever going to tell us about your Law career?😁

What a great video Tom, give us more of the grissley goings on in New York, murder houses, kidnapping house, places where people plotted dastardly deeds etc..Cheers from the UK

I left NY in 1981 and haven't been back since! Lived in West Village Houses on W. 11th Street in the Village.

Ugh! at about 6:02 a mouse runs across the window sill !! Welcome to the West Village!!!

Information: interesting. Attempts at humor: acknowledged.

A couple spooky things missed: in the early days of Washington Sq, it was a major execution spot with many hangings. The 1971 suicide of photographer Diane Arbus by slashing her wrists in her bathtub in Westbeth artist residence is one of the darker parts of Greenwich Village history.

Great video, thanks! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

if you look closely, there's a mouse at 6:02, right by the "automatic sprinkler" sign by the window

The visual adlibs are so good

I like your storytelling video. Your humour works. I visit NYC regularly so your stories give a perspective that I would not get otherwise.

Hi Tom. I haven't seen your videos for a while. This is a nice video for Halloween. It's a lot better than those gory slasher they show in the movies these days that leave nothing to the iimagination. I saw some videos of Canatsie who my friend from Brooklyn used to live. He moved to South Florida,. That's now a pretty bad area for drugs and crime.

Loved this video. I didn't see it earlier because I've been sick, and I wanted to enjoy this video to the fullest👍

The rat cameo is so New York. At 5:45 in haha

Brilliant mate, i live there for 20 yrs and love urban archeology, but so much i did t know. Thank you

I haven't been to NYC since 2010. I've been binge watching your videos because I want to visit again in the near future. Really awesome stuff! I love spooky.

🧟‍♀️ This went by so fast.. Just wish this was a longer video because it was so good, thanks & take care 🧟‍♂️

Great video. Like the "Psycho" strings. And not to nit pick, but it's Samuel LANGhorn Clemens, not LONGhorn Clemens.

You mentioned Mae West in this video. Fun fact: I grew up in northern NJ and the house my parents bought was very old. They've lived in that house since 1978. It was over 100 years old when they bought it. There was (and still is) a path that goes from the back of the yard to the center of the yard and just stops. Over the years, they've collected many stories about the house. One of them is that an Italian family lived there and the lady of the house made these MASSIVE dinners on Sundays. She was an amazing cook. Word got around and people who worked on Broadway would come to these dinners and literally sing for their supper. They sang in a gazebo that used to be at the end of that pathway that dead ends in the middle of the yard. We were told Mae West was one of the people who ate in our yard.

Good job, Tom! Always learn something new from your videos. 🔎🔦

When I was in my 20's I had fun running around the Village in the '80s. Then I got gainfully employed and retired to the South East. and I don't miss NY at all. But this bought back some memories.

Thanks for the history. City sure has come a long way since the crazy olden days. Since the late 90s we tease manhattan for being Disneyland-esque. Things still happen at random, but much of the criminal malaise has disappeared.

We are in NYC right now and pointing out areas that you pointed out!! Sick plugs!!👈👉

I am so happy New York hasn’t turned into a ghost town like everyone predicted in 2020.

Love this thank you.

Geeezzzz, Tom.... You're packing quite a big package. Congrats!💪 Think I'll subscribe..

I'm hooked on this guy's videos! Excellent job 👍

I really like this video. The live streams I see are hard for you to do because of the buffering

your videos are aweomse

You are awesome bro nobody doesn't like you so knowledgeable and funny it's a pleasure to watch your videos you and you and Eric are great team did a marathon with all your videos looking forward forward to your future ones rock on brother God bless peace

In 1987, I use to listen to the Howard Stern show religiously. I was 13. Every day, the case of Little Lisa Steinberg was in the news and Howard & the gang would talk about it. Wasn't she tied to a radiator at one point? Anyway, for 20 years, that's how I kept up with current events by Robin reading the Post & the Daily News over the radio. Baby M and R Budd Dwyer were two other stories from around that time I remember!

Two last spots in a row - that’s pretty scary 😅

These comments are great lol. I’m moving to the city in two weeks. Excited.

This is funny, glad it came up now I'm a subscriber.

Spooky good fun, I think the Village has lots of haunting places… Fun fact I’m pretty sureI had a paranormal experience staying at The Jane Hotel, just a block or so from the phone booth killing! The Chelsea Piers used to be urban ruins that were used as a playground for adventure, danger, romance and lust… So many stories!

Great episode!!!!! This is a wonderful top not h channel! ☮️

After this video, I'm waiting for the residents of these buildings to move out so that I can move in with the new lowered rents!

This Jefferson Garden is where my cousin, Marschia Thoms and I spent a very nice afternoon. We then dined across the street, great memories!

My jaw dropped in the 1st min. I was like WHAAAAT?!?

Thank you Tommy D! Ur d best

This was great video, enjoyed

another interesting walk & talk . -? ever do a video including the Jane hotel ? >. ~JDS/CT

Awesome. The 1st two were on blocks I grew up on. Bunch of kids that went to my grammar school lived in the building at the end of the block. Really cool vid.

Take us on a walk through Ozone Park.

fine casual style of , hosting your show !!!

Samuel Longhorn Clemens would later open a successful chain of western themed steakhouses.

This was awesome!

The buildong on the right of him is # 1 5th Ave. where I took dates for drinks. It has a cool art deco bar.

It wouldn't be a spooky video unless Tom rises creepily from behind something.

The first two stories (at least) are well-known history. I lived a few hundred feet from where each of them took place. As a graduate student in 1976-77, I lived at 35 Fifth Avenue (Fifth Avenue at Tenth Street). During that period, one of Greenwich Village's great bookstores also burned down: Eli Wilentz's 8th Street Bookstore, across the street from Electric Lady Studios.

Better content than all others new Yorkers you tubers

You should do more videos like this. I really enjoyed it

Loved the history,,yes Lisa Steinberg story was very sad, ..sweet baby girl,,,that was heartbreaking,,,

Interesting! Enjoyed this video. Thanks

THIS WAS AWESOME. THANK YOU!

Great Video Tom! Charles Manson look alike was hilarious. Your scary face reminds me of Vincent Schiavelli from Ghost; "LIKE TRAINS?!" LOL

This might be a little too late but, can you do one on Chumley's?

True crime locations in New York would be a great series to do.

Awesome video, subbed!

That was terrifying! I'm talking about Tom's hat.

Very fun! Thanks for sharing...now I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight!

I love your energy Tom.😍❤️

good video , like always papo .. muy bueno y gracias

I visited Greenwich Village in July 1987. Horrible to think that was going on at the time.

I'm hooked on these videos!!

The riff raff on Christopher Street down by the river 👹👹👹👹

Please do more NYC history,,,can you do potters field? And some cemeteries? Thank you...i enjoy this

Hahaha! Hung out in the village the entire 80’s and 90’s until 1998. I would hope a “neighborhood “ with 10 million Dollar (and up) apartments is safe, and don’t need money for neighborhood watches.

Is that a mouse on the window sill around 6:03? Scary.

amazing vid , great personality

I remember the Steinburg case. And people in poor neighborhoods think these things don't happen in affluent neighborhoods and if they move to the suburbs everything will be hunky dory. OK Sure!!! People are people

Perfect, Tom!

Could not help but notice at 6:01 a mouse casually runs aross the window sill.. spooky! lol...
