There was food in Ireland at that time but was held back by English overlords for export. If you were caught stealing corn you were sent to penal colonies in Australia
British authorities were created by successive invasion forces.... the society is incredibly brutal under a "face" of imitated propriety.
Yes, there was a potato famine, but London’s response to the famine was a Genocide. Westminster believed in laissez-faire economics. There was enough food being grown in Ireland, to feed the Irish, and not let the Irish starve . The Midlands in Ireland was the breadbasket of England. There was enough cattle and grains, to feed the Irish and they shipped it all to England. It was an out and out genocide.
The artist responsible for the Hunger Memorial is Brian Tolle. The project is an authentic Famine-era cottage donated to the Memorial by his extended family, the Slacks of Attymass, County Mayo, Ireland. The cottage has been painstakingly reconstructed on the Memorial’s halfacre site as an expression of solidarity to those who left from those who stayed behind.
Frank Grillo is Tom Delgado, good-natured New York City tour guide. But when one too many rude pedestrians walks in front of his camera, he sets out to teach them all a lesson in history.
My favourite NYC tour guide does it again with the most fascinating,historical and humorous videos. 👍👌👏😊💯♥️
Some of my Irish ancestors came from the Limerick area of Ireland to nyc, then branched off eventually to PA to farm I imagine
Every time I think we’ve learned everything, Tom comes up with another excellent video with even more history of NY. Well done!
The Irish history also includes Broad Channel, + the “Irish Riviera” (Rockaway Beach up to Breezy Point)
Same with Northwestern Bronx. Most of the Irish have left neighborhoods like Kingsbridge and Norwood, but Woodlawn Heights still has a sizable Irish community, including Irish born residents.
The same thing applies just a little north of Woodlawn Heights across the city border. There’s a large Irish community in Yonkers especially near McLean Ave.
Glad you mentioned Archbishop John Hughes and Fordham, integral to the history of New York and its Irish Catholic roots!
My grandfather moved the family from Scranton to the Bronx in ‘35 to teach at Fordham ☘️
I don't think new York is as Catholic or even religious anymore
Yeah… wanting to come to NYC to explore my Irish mafia roots…. grandparents went from Hell Kitchen to Forest Hills into the first planned community by the Tennis Courts… Grandfather worked on Pier 59 starting out as a stevadore and worked up to Pier Manager (ala “On The Water front)… many sketchy stories.
OMG, Tom, You went to Jesuit High in Tampa! My wife was assistant principle for many years, and my two sons graduated from there. FYI, and old customer of mine, Mike Lebron, Lionel, went there too. He now lives in NYC, and is a radio host and comedian.
Luv luv luv your vids Tom ! I had a NH friend who was related to P.T. Barnum. her last name was Taylor. She read, showed me her whole family tree, amazing
that irish famine memorial is gorgeous. Very cool idea.
Hi Tom, need to do Brownsville and East New York areas in kings county aka Brooklyn NYC !. Again please do those two most dangerous crime rates and ghetto areas in Brooklyn !.🌅🇺🇸🗽💵♥️🌃
Yay new tomdnyc video 🎉😊❤
Always nice to see something from our Irish friends that is related to the Dutch founders of New York.
12:50 what a coincidence…I happened to watch Gangs of New York last night and a TommyD put out a video mentioning the five points…gotta love life sometimes
Hey Tom! What's up!You did it again! Another sick tour! You killed it as always!!!
when you talk irish or canadian, i can close my eyes and feel sure i am in dublin or toronto. amazing!
Tom D! Great video! .... Lord Inchiquin (aka Conor O'Brien) would have been proud of your video. Conor's Director ancestor was a King in Ireland who died 1014 . Brian Boru briefly united Ireland once and Died at the battle of Clontarf.. Conor O'Brien passed away a few months ago at his home at Dromoland. Conor was an Irish Prince of Thomond and also aristocracy of England. My Irish ancestors did not have it easy when they arrived in Boston. The USA is really a big FRAT...where each new group has to prove themselves in this land. That is my opinion. The Irish did have the sense to organize to gain power for themselves. I hope NYC rebounds from it's current predicament.
I had a lover for 3 hours whose origins was irish. Thats the motivation to watch video for me. Kisses
Man that squirrel wanted to get interviewed and tell his part lol
There was did in Ireland during the famine, but it was being exported to Britain (Ireland was part of the UK at the time)
Thanks for the Irish History! I hope you give livestream a go at it again! Cheers! 🥂
Ya good
Tom I see you on my TV! This is a good show you're in. Looks like those headshots really took off! Can't wait for the next episode!
Thanks Tom.....best NYC tour guide ever!!
What a weird coincidence, I was just thinking about Bourdain's book on Mary "Typhoid" Mallone, and how she's buried up in Riverdale with a huge Irish population that's still there today.
Tom ...YOU are the best !! Best Tour guide in the best City !! THX
Hi, when German immigrants arrived to New York they were greeted with enthusiasm because they were predominantly protestant and therefore respected by the English protestants, who at that time were the ruling class.When the Irish arrived, they were treated were singled out, treated with contempt, ridiculed and mocked.by the English protestant ruling class at that time.
A review of Dickens' adventures could be interesting?
TOMDNYC IS MY SECOND FAVORITE UA-camR, OMG AS THE YOUNG ONES SAY
HELL YEAH
Wow fantastic
Just stumbled upon this channel. Immigration is a complex issue. Feel most people are just looking for a better place to live. Of course, it is best all round to be legal. This way, immigrants will have rights and not be exploited. When the Irish and other immigrants came way back, am sure there were not too many resources available. They had to find work and shelter as fast as pissible. Then, many were sent off to fight wars. Immigrants built America accordibg to historians. Ireland played a huge part in USA history. I had two aunts who came as young girls from ireland in early 1900's and they joined the dominican cinvent and became educators in New York area. Another female relative rose through the ranks via hard work and became a judge in Wilkes Barre area. She was an accomplished woman during a time when women had a hard time. Some family served in military in US. All culturals have stories to tell. Majority worked very hard and followed the rules and are a credit to their heritages. Look at places today where war hits - those poor people need help. Lets be kind in words and deeds - we do not have the whole story about why people are flocking to the shores. Am sure people would prefer to stay in own homeland if conditions permitted. So sad to see young moms and babies on street corners begging. I do not have answers - we all need to try and prevent wars, etc. and try to live in peace. Blessings to all. Thank you for your video on cn Ireland. Slainte. Yes, ireland played a huge part in many places - nuns and other women went off to the missions to help the poorest of the poor. Those women need recognition for their service. Immigrants in general made many sacrifices.
I really appreciate these videos.
Good
Sick video tom!
A treat in so many ways, thank you
Sick plug! Happy holidays. Thanks for the awesome video
TOM is the 🐐
My Irish Grandparents started out in Hells Kitchen and ended up in Forest Hills as my grandfather was involved in the Irish Mafia as the dock manager (stevedore) of Pier 59.
Thank you for the history. Your auality & content is great. ☮️
You are amazing Tom love watching your videos !!!!
Great video, very informative! Thanks! Keep them coming ….
Shhot I havent seen ya in a bit,love youre videos man. Merry christmas.❤
WOULD BE SICK TO HAVE A DYKER HEIGHTS VIDEO!! INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN FOR INSANE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS BUT A LOT OF HUGE HOMES AMAZING COUNTRY CLUB THAT I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE HISTORY ABOUT
5:03 In our modern world it seems crazy that a population can become so reliant on one crop…in todays world with globalization we take it for granted that many places have access to various foods and if one food isn’t available..we just eat something else
They could have fished from the sea --- gotten a variety of seafoods, but we're not aware of it unfortunately
they were growing cash crops in ireland incl corn and wheat which the british put on ships at gunpoint and let leave for the free market, it was literally a genocide via a constructed famine.
I laughed for two minutes straight at the comment on buying a three bedroom in the Village.
Love your show. Sometimes I sit here and just giggle....😂
The reasons behind the "famine" are far more sinister than just relying on potatoes that failed. It was actually genocide. The things our noisy neighbours did and didn't do would horrify you.
"Nothing wrong with crying ... believe me" that expression was pretty serious :))), also the one coming out of the toilet like some biggest life experience in there lmao. Those accents were pretty good, I'm telling, could beat an actor. Oh jeez I love this stuff, you basically have to watch it twice if you wanna learn something lol
Looking forward to this one, although I’m surprised it wasn’t saved for St. Paddy’s Day? ☘️
I'm a fourth generation Irish American New Yorker. I enjoyed the video, but I don't remember anyone in my family saying 'Top o the mornin' to ya.' 👍☘️
From what I've been told by some people in Ireland, the response to the "top o the mornnin to ya", was usually given as "And the rest of the day to you!". I've tried saying it to people here who don't know much about Ireland (I don't either really, would love to know more), and they look at me like I'm crazy! 😂
The neighborhoods of Sunny side queens, Breezy point, hells Kitchen, And woodlawn in the bronx all have large Irish populations
Cool video Tom, kinda cool timing with the passing of Shane MacGowan ☘🍺🥔
Up from Brooklyn bridge next to today's Chinatown. Was.a sewr area 1p Plaza include included. Was little Ireland.
You’re the best
You are hilarious and adorable! Second generation American-Irish, super enjoyed this tour.
I'm 73 and I am 3rd generation American/irish NYC! my paternal grandfather was NYPD ..!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! SHOULD CHECKOUT SOME OF SW BROOKLYN!! LIKE BENSONHURST,BRIGHTON BEACH AND CONEY ISLAND
So, Tom "Don't tase me, bro" D is an exile from Florida ?
Kinda makes him honorably Irish, black Irish but ...
Gonna like how the Irish hardly use the word "no".
Tomdnyc: What'ya think of that one, like it ?
Cam: Best pun so far.
Like the camera resolution and all.
Thanks for the video, laddie
As of 13:55 into the video when you begin to mention gang of New York. LoL I guess I spoke too soon in my previous comment.! Nice 👍🏽
Come to the Bronx
Very little tuberculosis here, Tom! Hope you’re well!
You're too funny!❤
Speaking of Gangs of New York, Leo DiCaprio lives in building next to that hunger memorial.
15:31 nice form
my irish ancestors went to ellis island then settled in jersey city
Re: bootscrapers: (12:15) I have noticed there are none remaining above 31st street-on the East side, at least.
Cool videos! How about next time you incorporate more history about real life characters from the Martin Scorsese classic gangs of New York? It’s a random comment about the good portion of videos you cover for the city of New York, and the five boroughs of.
Wifey McBeaty's is a great NYC bar
Do gerritsen beach 2:30
Ayer-land, the land of the ayran (ultimately from Sanskrit arya- "compatriot;" in later language "noble, of good family," cf.Iran) from the Danu of India who travelled there.
Very good Irish rocks 😅
❤❤❤❤❤
The Irish potato famine never actually happened. The crown exported essentially all food by armed guard to Britain. All the Irish had in terms of sustenance was potatoes, which were all but wiped out by the fungus.
watching from ireland, check out mick malloy story, rasputin of nyc
The Irish were starved by the English. There was plenty of food. But the English shipped it all to England and left the Irish to starve. Then people ask. "Why do the Irish hate the English?"
👏🏼 🇮🇪
Skinny jeans Tom Legend of NYC
It's almost impossible to buy pants that don't resemble spandex these days. It sucks for us Construction workers that can't wear girl pants at work haha
Tommy No Nuts
☘☘
Good job, you are an amazing teacher.
Oh ye the five points.... gangsters of NY
Please put a sleeping shot in every video!!
I’m famished.
How does an actor miss the opportunity to make a john Hughes joke???
The NYC police department was mainly Irish, when it was started
Does he mention the Draft Riots of 1863?
Just today, i was speaking to a bunch of teenagers about gentrification and everybody being up in arms. Welp the only thing that doesn't change about New York is that there will always be change.
I told them before you/us.. guys there were Irish, before Irish there were Dutch before Dutch... Indigenous peoples. Then i asked What do you think their take on gentrification is?
I read a Weed tour lmao
I am beginning to now wonder if my great great grandfather came over and was part of the Fenian Brotherhood. The timing would have been right.
No sick plugs ?
Time to kiss the Blarney Stone.
How ironic would it be that potatoes were planted at the Irish hunger monument.
I cannot stop laughing.
USA accent is slightly Irish ?
Hey
A LOT OF HISTORY IN SOUTH BROOKLYN!! PEOPLE OVERLOOK IT!!
This was filmed for p.s I love you, famine memorial
The Irish do not say "top o the mornin' to ye" and they also don't eat corned beef and hash.
Hi ya, how are you, I'm grand... that's it from us Irish😂
