These are oral histories and should be preserved/ supported by the NY historical society. Well done CQ. 100 years from now these will be incredibly valuable.

Colin content is the best

Just keep these coming. I can listen to Colin talk about old New York City for days.

Colin's videos are gold. This segment is so meaningful to native NYers

I enjoy these old NY stories more than i thought i would tbh. Its cool to hear about the history of the city outside of Times Square

How does Colin only have 18.7k subscribers? The guy is legendary. One of the last of the old school comics left

As a non newyorker but a person that loves the city and the culture these vids are critical, keep it up.

Col looks like a sanatorium orderly

Let’s go CQ!!!! Another banger 🤣🫡🗽

"I hope it was alright." That's a humble guy. This was awesome!

Colin. This is a pure joy to watch. As an Irishman that spent 17 years in ireland, 13 in England and now nearly 10 in Australia, I just love your passion for culture and history. My only gripe is that it's 6am now and I gotta go to work! Haha. But I can't wait to see this tonight. I've never been to America but always wish I had, I watch videos of people driving the streets of NY just to get a sense of the vibes. So, 😂these vids to me are worthy of your Smithsonian. 🙏. You the man. Btw, get history hyenas back together and be on Tim dillon as often as possible.. just 2 small favors, ok bye. 😅

Cruisin’ Colin up to his old tricks at Carl Schurz park again.

This will go down as one of the best historical series in RU-vid history.

Absolutely brilliant way to see NYC.

This guest was great. Did all the heavy lifting for Colin.

I'm enjoying these. I like that Collin looks like a chef who just got laid off for sleeping at work.

Good to see CQ out and about.

I love these walk around videos.

I live in Yorkville - like so much of New York, the neighborhood of today is virtually unrecognizable compared to the scene of 50 years ago. it’s amazing to hear these stories.

LOVE THIS

This rules!

Colin Quinn isn't just a comedy legend, he's a national treasure.

I was born in Yorkville in 1953 at Doctor's Hospital, across the street from the Mayor's Mansion. Thanks for touring the old neighborhood and shining a light on some interesting history that most people are not aware.

Nice to see CQ gettings some furlough time out of the Looney Bin

This is my first time watching Colin. I was sent to the site as I also grew up in Yorkville & although I don't know the guest personally, I know some of his family. Anyhow this was awesome. He brought back memories. He spoke more of the 60's & 70's. I am more of late 70's, 80's and 90's and like this guest I saw a side of Yorkville that the residents of today wouldn't believe. They think it came from a movie. But I'll tell ya it was the safest place growing up cause we were like one big family and everyone looked out for each other. My mom was there till her passing in 2009. Although I lived in Brooklyn, Long Island, State of Florida, Middletown, NY & for the past 17 years in Vestal, NY, never have I found the love and loyalty we had for each other in Yorkville. To this day I keep in touch with my Yorkville Street Family (which is how I look at them) & although many of our good ones have past...I know they still look over us. There never was and never will be a neighborhood like YORKVILLE again! We had block parties, helped each others parents, could walk through the projects at 2am without a care. #Yorkvilleforeverinmyheart. Thanks Colin for giving our representative time to talk about it! Very impressed with his interview. Kinda reminded me of one of my real brothers, who passed on! Peace, love & happiness to all!

This is Fantastic!!! Colin is always ahead of everyone. No one is doing a show like this on the internet.

Colin, you are the ultimate New Yorker. My family all came from New York, the Irish side from Inwood, and the Italian side from Brooklyn/LSE. I love that you're doing this. It's a great way to honor the legacy of the millions of people who have called New York home throughout the centuries. I'd love to see you walk through Green-wood cemetery one day!

I left the city in 1987, Love this series, mad respect for Colin

I love these walking history tours and your buddies' recollections. I lived in Yorkville in the 80s and 90s and love Carl Schurz Park. Keep these coming Colin!

I've never even been to NY, but fell in love with ny hip hop and historic comedy 25 years ago. These stories are golden

These are great! As a former Upper East Sider, please keep these coming. 👏🏼

"Yeah, I've read his stuff, I kind of, uh, you know, connected w/him obviously, because, you know, I'm a ball player." that's a killer line, perfectly delivered, 10 out of 10! I could watch theses two for hours

Real New Yorker know! Back in the Day, New York was Wild

So glad we're getting to hear all those stories before the memories begin to fade. "Some of the kids were semi-normal...." I can't thank your guides enough for sharing their tales. A lot of nostalgia, a lot of love but also stories of jeopardy and sometimes tragedy. Much love 🙏

This was tremendous & Colin’s old friend is a great storyteller too! All the best from Cornwall,U.K!

Is there anything better than a stroll through New York with Colin Quinn?

This is so great! It's like taking a REAL insider walking tour of New York City.

[algorithm stuff] because Colin is a G

Colin please keep these going periodically!

Born in NYC, raised in Brooklyn in the 1960's....i love these NYC historical walkabout's Colin is doing...great stories....

I've been waiting for something like this since colin did the segment with vice on NYC taxi cabs. Being from Queensland Australia I love hearing these stories with quinn, quinn IS new York.

Colin, I am in my 50’s, born and raised in Brooklyn. I now live in Texas so your videos are a real treat for me. With all of the gentrification going on I just wanted to say thank you sir for preserving our history.

loving this series Colin. I was kid in Yorkville when you were the announcer of Remote Control and you guys filmed on 75th street!

Officially my favourite RU-vid series. Keep them coming Colin!! Great stuff.

We need a PART2 with Red !

Loving these videos, I could watch them all day. So interesting to hear all the personal stories and connections to the neighbourhood. Looking forward to the next one 😊

I live in Yorkville (which most people here just call the Upper East Side now) so this was very cool to see. Would like to see one of these on the LES/EV

Well, you can't beat a starter like that. Damn. Gratitude.

Thank's colin, as a long time fan , keep the videos coming 😂

This is PURE CLASS

lmao one of the most down to earth, gritty, and real portrayals of NYC history... And Colin just pluggin dates in the top comment. I mean okay.

This is legit my fav thing from CQ.

These stories are classic 😂, definitely need more of these 👊

New York history for New Yorkers. By those who lived it. Natural everything. True words. No music. Could it be any more real? Could it be any more LOVING?

Man I live in yorkville and walk this park all the time. Cool to hear these stories.

Great evening walk through another interesting neighborhood, and your companion from Yorkville was a great addition to the walk..thx!

BTW the guy giving the tour is tremendous and needs to be identified and recognized. Please fix this!

these stories are priceless ,,,,

Need to get this fella back for a pt. 2 Col

THE MAN GIVING THE TOUR TO COLIN, IS STEVE KELLY, NATIVE YORKVILLE IRISH AMERICAN. I KNOW, BECAUSE I AM ALSO A IRISH AMERICAN YORKVILLE NATIVE.

A tour from the guy growing up there! Awesome!

This is really a brilliant series -- this is a great, great idea and perfectly done. Aggravating to hear people call things "important" but these are awesome pieces of history that might otherwise be lost. Everything I love about New York, reminds me of Dubliners too. Really cool man.

Would really like Colin to eventually do this with other cities (Philly, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Kansas City…etc)

These are great interviews. Keep them coming Colin. Been a fan of Colin for must be 60-70 years now

Kudos to this man for telling the rich to own their fair share with the waste transfer station.

Gotta monitor that audio live fellas.

Finally a friend without a speech impediment sorta

Thank you Mr. Quinn. Remember growing up in the 70s80s in NYC.Greetings out of Cologne Germany.

I love these series. I've never even been to the States, but when I go to New York one day, I want Colin as my tour guide.

These are amazing Colin. Keeping them coming! GOD Bless!

I love this new series, Colin!!! I moved to NYC in January 2018 from Denver. I live on Staten Island but i enjoy visting the city every so often. Thanks so much. Great history lessons with this series. More please! ❤

Unbelievable. I love this series. Thanks Colin!

This is my 3rd one I am binge watching, awesome and riveting if you are a NY History junkie like me!

that was awesome. what a great night for a stroll & some stories. thank you both!!😻😻

Really loving this series, hopefully there's more to come!

I have never been to New York ( cleveland working class longshoreman here) these are amazing. I feel like i must go after watching these Thank you cheers gentlemen. If you're ever in cleveland I will return the favor and show you my neighborhood

Another one. I love this walk around New York, I’m from Hawaii and never been there, YET.

CQ is an aficionado he should start a colin quinn new york city bus tour with all of his mobster friends. what a guy

Love this series! Bravo

One thing about these NYC borough walkthroughs is you’ll never see Rich Vos

Amazing. The guest was so amazing. Loved his stories and so cool seeing real working class Irish New York guy.

Love these story walks!

Born and grew up in Manhattan Valley, 108th but lived in Yorkville for 6 years, 2010-2016. Loved living up there on 87th and 1st but had to move down to midtown when my daughter was born. Needed more room. Love the Carl Schurz park in the Spring and Summer.

Thank you Colin. So good!

Lou Gehrig came from Yorkville.

These are too good! Well done, Colin!

I really love this block by block series. I hope there are plans to cover all of Manhattan.

Love this!!! Keep the eps coming. Great stuff.

Thanks Colin and 3 Nuts Studios!

Solid gold! Thanks Colin

These are the best. More please!

Thank God you're doing this, Colin.

This is beautiful. Such an interesting history. I wanna see Colin tour East Harlem next.

That walk in summer is fantastic.

"yeah, right, sure, yeah"
