As a native NYer, I am finding your videos super informative and have been sharing with friends to learn about my great city. Welcome and thank you for what you are doing!
Great video of covering my neck of the woods of Manhattan. Both Washington Heights and Inwood have a lot of things to see and do. Harlem is also a great neighborhood but I love my neighborhood of Washington Heights. Oh Thea, The Dutch spelling of Harlem where it gets its name has an extra "a" . It's still like this: Haarlem . It's kind of weird but that's part of the Dutch history of the city.
Another brilliant information video about Manhattan. Not many streamers on RU-vid have covered the upper part of the island, so it's great to see this one. Nice links as well, thank you.
I fell in love with your channel 2 years ago when you had only a few videos. I saw one of your newer videos in my recommendations. There are so many new videos and I am now going to binge watch them all. I think you do an excellent job at mixing real-world footage and graphics along with your personal dialogue. I like how you focus on a specific area/aspect of New York. Keep up the great work!
Between 125 and 120 streets in Riverside Drive is Grant’s Tomb. Former president and civil war hero Ulysses Grant resting place. Good job on the video.
Thank you so much. No one ever mentions this part of NY. Are the boundaries set in stone, in the minds of the people who live there? Would a person from the UES let their children play one block away in Harlem ♥
@bobsmith2944 I haven't been there, that's why I asked. I watched a movie, and the mom wouldn't let the nanny to the LES, so I wondered if it would be the same for Harlem.
Thanks for the great content I live in NYC and I'm learning so much about this city because of your work. My wife and I are planning to go to Roosevelt Island after watching your video on it. The maps are super helpful to understand and follow along
I visited Inwood Hill Park for the first time a few days ago, and its rugged parts are basically indistinguishable from the woods I grew up with in my town about 25 miles to the north. So, totally undisturbed from their earlier form. With some paved trails and stone steps. Pretty great if you like that sort of thing. Similar to Central Park's "The Ramble" a bit, haven't spent enough time in either to compare them.
I love your videos!! You should make a similar series on the areas of Brooklyn! Maybe all the boroughs eventually. Keep making this great educational content!
The first video I watched was when Thea "how do you do" in the UWS video. I can't imagine how much research you have put in for this video! 5:49 This bridge in Manhattanville appeared in The Amazing Spider Man. Wow it's a wrap. Thank you Thea for covering the whole Manhattan.
There is building in New York built in 17th or 18th century based on miasma theory to protect from epidemic in old days.....any body knows the name if that building
