The Dark Side of Queens NYC Tour 

the Kitty Genovese story suggesting no one helps has been proven untrue. Many people actually did call the police. Her younger brother did incredible research and this resulted in a well done documentary

Hi Tom ! Most people forget that NYC passed a law requiring lighted entrances after the Kitty Genovese incident.

Eric is the man; great camera work and witty retorts on the fly!

Tom, it’s pronounced “Man-es”. Glad to see you stopped by Neir’s Tavern. Can’t wait to see that video.

Another great video! Thank you, Tom and Eric.

Love your channel! FYI Donald Manes last name is pronounced "Man-ess" not "Mains". I was scolded once by a New York State senator from that area by pronouncing it like you did in this video. Sharing the knowledge so you do not get rebuked by someone! Thank you for the very interesting channel. I learn a lot from you.

Nice, please do a video about gangster rappers in queens, and places they hangout. Thanks 😊

Excellent video as always 😊😊😊

Tom, you are the coolest guy in all of NYC.

Your videos are really entertaining and informative. I consider myself a history buff but i feel that you’re videos really are for everyone. Kudos brother

Great tour. Cheers Tom

Hey Tom! What's up?Another cool tour !!! You awesome!!!

Another fantastic video.

Thanks Tom for another interesting video. Debbie & Patrick in New Zealand

Tom & Eric are the dream team! Another amazing video!!!

Eric awesome cameraman! Tom awesome video and sick plugs

You are so funny, effortlessly, it’s awesome. Love all your videos ❤️

Shocked by the lack of a Seinfeld finale reference when discussing the bystander effect. 😂 Great video as usual.

The dynamic duo is back. Keep them coming fellas.

Ahh! You were right across the street from my apartment on Queens Blvd. Such a fan of your channel!

When i saw the title i knew you will discuss KG. living in queens i grew up hearing this Thank you for this video

Great video!!! Give us an occasional live stream. Please!!!

Great tour, enjoyed

Great video and content. Grew up in Queens and lived in Kew Gardens. I was hoping you would include the Alice Crimmins case. A mother who was accused of killing her 2 kids in Kew Garden Hills in 1965 after she claimed her kids went missing. They found the bodies of the children but could not tie anyone directly to the murder. She's eventually convicted a few years later and after several more years of appeals was sentenced in 1973 and eventually paroled in 1977. It became a media sensation. She is still alive and living somewhere in Florida.

Love these videos Tom!

Great one!!! More dark NYC! 😆

56K plus subscribers!!! Way to go, Tom!

The NYC Panorama in the museum is awesome--do a video on it!

New Subscriber Hat’s of to you guy’s I really enjoyed the video and everything To the next video I go I want to watch more

I grew up in Queens Villages a few blocks away from Ruth Schneider ! Was a beautiful neighborhood and still is. Had the best public school education one could only hope for♥️

Tom, you are talented and genius. Keep up😊

I’m lovin ur videos over here in England ! I thought maybe in the Queens video there would be some wise guy stories? Hey maybe you should!

Love you Tom and Eric .

I liked this video the moment you brought up the new Matrix sequel! Well placed!

My late Marine dad was born in the Bronx, lived a lot in Queens. We went to Flushing Meadow several times, rode the paddle boats, saw the Mets play. The globe was always cool.

🎭🎭🎭🎭🗡️🗡️🗡️🚮🚮🥺🌐🌐🌐🌐🌉🌉🌉🏹🏹🎲 yeah I went to that '64 world's fair when I was 13, from Massachusetts. Remember it well

Cool thank u Tom! Luv your personality

Enjoyed the video. But me being a queens native Born and raised Felt that you sold yourself short or sold queens short on this video. Either way I grew up in and around all three of those areas. That movie theater on Lefferts and Austin used to be a porno theater also it would’ve been nice if you would’ve ventured out to ozone Park where the Gambino family would hang out at The Bergin Hunt and Fish Club. Would’ve also been nice to mention that Queens has more cemeteries than anywhere else in the country. The amount of dead people buried in queens is roughly the population to the city of Chicago A whopping 5,000,000+ people buried in our borough. I would hate to be in Queens during a zombie apocalypse.

Thanks for the tour👹👿👺☠️it was pretty dark for me😉 but interesting 🤔

Another great trip to the dark side Tom. Thanks.

Tom, dude... you are GREAT! Thanks for all your vids. I was a Tour Guide in NYC 1988-1991. Born in L.I.C. = Im a project baby. I would really luv if you could do a documentary on housing projects in Queens. :0) The history of Public housing. Thanks for doing a great job.

New camera? Video looks crispy 👍🏾

Let's all pitch in and get Tom a new jacket

"Double Indemnity" not a good film, but a GREAT film. Screenplay by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler. A must for anyone into film noir! Enough said.

Loved the part when you mentioned Queens being the best borough in NYC 🥰 you're right! Very cool vid, new sub here for sure

Eric Adams bit: absolute gold / bravo

This has to be one of the very bestest channels a human being could watch on RU-vid. There’s a lot of garbage out there but this is all gravy.

“The Bystander effect” happens to this day where people witness violence and just walk on by or don’t even intervene. Shame on those people! Or people pull out their phones and just film

may we have an Eric cameo sometime?....Great stuff as always..

HOW AM I JUST DISCOVERING THIS CHANNEL

can you do a vid about ponytail jane doe in flushing

I need more videos!

"disco biscuits" = equally true. Great research Tomdnyc.

I remember hearing about Kitty, and how no one would come to her aid. Sadly, it appears humans are still pretty much like that; they probably have been for all of history.

This video was bussin😝

Love this kind of history !

Tom, when you doing another live?

My buddy's son did the union plumping on that flushing unisphere ! And lights up fiber optics ! Trying to cleanup NYC !Then I wonder how Mayor Dinkins got through his tenure ? Saw panorama in 6th grade 1973 ! BAYVILLE NY

Now this is the way to start my weekend with Tom's handsome face and watching one of his videos...one of my favourite channels.

I'm sure most of y'all don't care but that Flushings Meadows Park is also a world famous skate spot,... Well when the fountain is drained...

Geez, there are some HORRIBLE people in this world!!! I have never understood how people can stand by as someone is being hurt in any way! I've almost gotten into fights stepping in and helping people, (and animals) that are being abused in public. Tom, favorite part of these dark videos is you popping into and out of frame with that mischievous look on your face. 😯😂

Hey Tom love these videos but really miss your live stream videos. I was going to join Patreon just when you stopped doing them but changed my mind. Not enough videos any more.

Hi Tom ur the coolest guy on you tube ♥️

OMG... LUDES! LOL! Love your show. Xxx Ooo III

I like these NYC Dark Sides stories

i’m just grateful New Zealand isn’t missing off that globe at the start of the video 🇳🇿 Aotearoa Proud!!!

It's not Donald Mains, it's pronounce Man-ess. I was his nurse in the ICU after he tried to commit suicide. To say he was messed up is an understatement.

Another great vid but note he pronounced his name MAN-iss

The priest in the mass scene in Boondock Saints talks about Kitty's murder too.

I just read that the day after the episode of Girls that referenced the Genovese murder aired on HBO, Winston died in jail. Crazy coincidence

He'll never let Eric live down that movie recommendation

I liked the new Matrix sequel. Eric is a man of culture.

Crazy story's buddy

20:00 LOLOLOL. "Ugh.. little specific."

You could ask Ken and post his tour videos with you on this channel?

My FIL is from Floraal Park. I'm sending him this video.

Would have been nice to include the mysterious and tragic story of Alice Crimmons and the kidnap and death of her two children.

Are you gonna come to the Bronx ?

what's up with the sound effects..... hilarious

Really enjoy your posts. You are a deeply weird and charismatic guy. How about a post about you? What's your story dude?

you should show them how slow the subways are especially in Queens

What camera is used to film this video?

Did you guys know that there is a time capusle in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, its called the Westinghouse Time Capsules. Buried in 1938 and 1965 Its set to open 5000 years or until the year 6939. 😀

Yes watched witness doc on Netflix so interesting

Caddyshack bits: "hey, you musta been something, before electricity!" "Hey, but I've never seen the dead dance before"

Tom as a young black man who's relatively new to New York City I love love love every single last one of your videos but you failed to mention the dark history of the bombing of Malcolm X's house in Elmhurst Queens New York City the Nation of Islam and perhaps the FBI bombed with his whole family in it either way great video

I used to have that Phil Ochs record.

Good video. How bout that Eric 😏

Since your doing dark side videos, you definitely look like Charlie Manson. Has anyone else noticed that. I'm telling, this guys a dead ringer. Great video btw

"Epic fail for the psychiatrist"...that was a great line! 😂

Mike is Awesome. 💯👍💯👍💯👍

Hey Tom I followed up and found out were the murderer Winston Mosley lived in South Ozone Park 133 st.

Man none of these videos about Queens mention the northeast section (College Point, Malba, Whitestone, Flushing, Broadway-Flushing, East Flushing, Murray Hill, Beechhurst, Auburndale, Fresh Meadows, Bayside, Bay Terrace, Clearview, Utopia, Pomonk, Douglaston, Little Neck, Oakland Gardens, Glen Oaks)

Sick plug, dark side

Can you do dark side in Yonkers

You didn't do the Son of Sam in Forest Hills.

My question. ...is the Schneider house haunted? Oh..one more...would love to take a walk with you and share stories.

Flushing Meadow was my back yard growing up. Israel became a Nation in Flushing Meadow in 1948

Tom, where were you born? NYC?

Here we go...
