My dad was born in 1899 at 446 W 42nd St. which is between 9th and 10th. He saw Houdini perform, saw Rudolph Valentino in his coffin, went to the Hippodrome for shows. He always intriduced himself as a native New Yorker, never lost his NYC accent even though he moved to Los Angeles for a job in 1935... seeing what 42nd st had become in 1980 on his last visit there deeply upset him. I guess he'd like what it is now a bit more, but I enjoy any glimpse of the old days, back to what it was during his lufetime, a clean but bustling neighborhood with German and Irish families. Thanks for posting!

Caaaaw! I have always been curious about Brownstones so I watched your segment. I HAD NO IDEA they were so magnificent inside! OMG So very interesting!

Sorry but Recife was first Portuguese and then occupyied by the Dutch. Shearith Jewish community of Recife, Brazil, is a Portuguese originated community of Semite Jews. And I have lots of family members in the Shearith community of New York. What about my US citizenship?

true new yorker. saw roof top access and went for the jump.

Love your videos and this is also well produced. However, I loved the counterpoint of the Fearless Girl standing up to the bull. It looks lost without purpose at its new home in front of the NYSE.

Absolute nonsense

Hi from Recife

The name comes the folk tale The Wise Men of Gotham, in which the residents of the village of Gotham pretend to be fools to avoid the wicked king's wrath. It was a sort of backhanded compliment for what Irving saw as New Yorkers' foolish ingenuity/ingenious foolishness. You'll find a few versions online if you Google the title.

Very informative

I hope whomever buys that brownstone in Harlem doesn’t gut it and make it trendy. That would be such a crime!

I'm paper'cups machanical engineer 🤞🏻

The Empire State Building has always seemed like a solid handsome building, but the Chrysler Building is more like a piece of art.

Only a stupid human would get inspired by some stupid shit like this

I'm team Bull

At the risk of getting banned from UA-cam I need to write this. I think that this display is more stupid than brave. Ask any Matador or cattle driver. Standing defiantly in front of a 2000 pound animal with horns is suicide. Even if the kid were armed with a loaded shotgun, she wouldn't have a prayer.

Pregunta desde Colombia, por qué no volvió a publicar videos? I love NYC!!!

And why would you call a little girl brave if standing against 1000 pound raging bull, what short sighted bull crap feminists always ruin it for what is great and holy about human female

I like the idea of placing them in various institutions, schools, medical, churches govt buildings, etc...

make another statue of her brother trying to save her

The statue is azum although I am 100% against gender identity

A little girl, overconfident and stupid, getting herself killed by a large a powerful animal. What exactly is the message here? Nature can't be overcome, we only trick ourself into risking our Life? I don't think the Girl can be a stand in for anything else but a defenseless victim. Why exactly she is fearless in such a position escapes me. The Bull, a symbol of hope, of fighting through hardship, has been turned into a bad guy. A force that prays on defenseless victims.

You forgot to mention the controversy with the LGBTQ community.

i have a frame picture of the place always wondered what it was it always felt like home since i had it for so long

Pena que não mostrou a placa com os nomes destes 23 "elements"

Wow great and unique content. Keep it up!

Very interesting , thanks for the information

New York City is the blueprint for every city that sprang up after. It is also the blueprint of all of our financial institutions, museums, our parks. New York holds the title of many "firsts" of everything! Even though I wasn't born in New York, I still say "I love New York"! Especially the Brownstones! I love seeing inside one that hasn't been changed too much. I'm all for preserving the original! Why do people want to completely erase the original interior of a Brownstone, I will never understand? People, it's called preservation!

I always thought brownstones had several steps up, not because of filth in the street, but because no one wants pedestrians to be able to look directly into your residence. Maybe both reasons?

4:45 now that's a real estate agent. 😄

wonder why it's taking a certain coddled group to realize she's not racial enough... accusing the artist of being racist... hmmm

Who wouldn’t want the servants quarters to stay the same!? I would keep the servants quarters and exact layout but updated it with modern kitchen appliances. The dumb waiter is a plus! Keep it and put it to use. Why would anyone want to change the original floor plan. I hope someone bought it and kept it to its original with a touch of updates. I want to see more of this beautiful gem. Thank you for sharing.

Asher leavi a butcher and 23 Portuguese Jews from Brazil

Love how hes referencing brownstone houses that arent faced with brownstone....

<-- I’m the wife, my husband and I just watched the classic movie Life with Father. I was telling him what the home the movie is depicted in is worth today, he couldn’t believe it! I love the look of the late 19th early 20th centuries Brownstone homes, much more character and warmth! They way people modernize with funky lighting, everything grey, metal and cold! Ugh it’s criminal! My Mama was raised in upstate New York, in a Victorian home. Her father worked in Grand Central Station, she and her Mama, and older sister would ride the train into the city for free and go shopping and to shows at Radio City.

Brazil has millions of descendants of Jews who were forcibly converted such as Branca Dias.

I'm in LOVE with NYC brownstone!!! I dream about living in one and if the opportunity ( LOTTERY/LOL )comes my way I would definitely buy a brownstone. 💙💯

The statue ought to be called "Clueless Girl". Whether she's fearless or not, that bull is going to turn her into a pile of shredded pulp in about five seconds. When I first heard of this statue I just laughed. The artist has obviously never been to a cattle farm.

Wow,he leaves out the fact that they were Black people, Israelites.

I close my eyes and see Olivia de Haviland and Monty Clift and hear: "Bolt the door Mariah" Yes, yes, yes, she finally found her tong. Please forgive me for this outburst of emotion!!!!!

great video! hope you will keep making more!

Great job on the video. Well spoken, no annoying music! It is a hit with me!

WICKED AWESOME video. Prior to this I had never truly heard, or read for that matter, an accurate explanation for the term "Hell's Hundred Acres". Thank you.

I've only come across your channel today (after watching the Secrets of the NY subway video), fantastic series! 👏 It really makes me want to go back to NYC and explore more, and with a new focus on these sometimes hidden gems. Thank you!

I just heard about this in the Bowery Boys podcast, I thought the bull had been there for many more decades. I don't personally love the fearless girl as art, but as you say it was commissioned by a good old boys club as an advertisement. It kind of is what it is. Move it, that's fine, and then some artist should create something more striking in it's place.

@13:00 .... look at that, we’re tiny little specs just building everywhere til there’s no land left to build on.

Terrible hate propaganda ! Robert E. Lee was an abolitionist. He freed slaves that his parents owned. His wife also taught blacks Sunday School which was discouraged. He fought for the South because barbaric Northern Army attacked the South ! Any man has a right to defend himself from an invasion !
