The New Travel is the most captivating UA-cam Channel I've found thus far. Hope it continues forever!
Somebody explained this to me in a way that resonates with the New Yorker in me: New Yorkers are kind but not nice, whereas Californians are nice but not kind. Lovely to see you while you were in town!
Cali folks are phony. At least in LA. I don’t know about NorCal.
What does that mean?
I agree with you about the directness, that's my experience as a Canadian visiting NYC too. I quite like it, I think I interpret that directness and willingness to talk as more friendly than the typical 'niceties', actually.
Remember always keep your guard up and Never Never put yourself in harms way … 😮 okay 😒 fallow your gut … we’re pleased to have your as a guest and thank you for not bashing our city and citizens 😊
been to NYC twice and with an expensive camera as well photographing the city and never felt unsafe, if someone isn't used to a big city the small things can feel odd and the subway can appear sketchy but in reality is your ok. just have to be aware of were you are and were your heading because in general nyc is fine but it does have it's bad areas like every major city
Great channel. Such a valued find. In a time of over-romanticized travel blogging, you keep it real. You have a way of making exploring the world accessible. I just moved from Toronto and your videos are helping me make decisions of where to go next! Keep it up and stay humble just as you are✌️appreciate you
Thanks J C, I appreciate that :)
@@TheNewTravel i have been in New York and I love it, it’s so beautiful but I would love to visit Montreal, that’s one of my biggest dream and I would love to come true…… greeting from Honduras I love your videos
Please more videos on NYC. It's a fascinating city and we like your take on it as a Canadian living in Montreal.
NYC is a tough city to live in and is always a grind. When engaged we can be a bunch of characters but caught up in the hustle of the city we can come off as cold. A good morning to a stranger or friendly hello is rare as is eye contact while passing along on the streets.
Spot on analysis. And just the other day I couldn’t hear the subway announcement. Happens all the time.
Happy to have the stamp of approval from UA-cam's best NYC channel 😎
I’m a life long New Yorker and the safety is 100% exaggerated. Glad you saw New York for what it really is and beyond the headlines
when you walk around the Penn Station and you smell the weeds in the air, whether it is the north, south, east or west block, you know there is something wrong about this city.
@@eggheadegghead Penn station is a god awful area. When my girlfriend would take the train in from New Jersey, I would dread going there to pick her up. But if you know where to go, there's hundreds of beautiful parts of the city, plenty within 10 minutes of penn station by train. Also, if you don't want to smell weed, maybe don't live in a city at all? Kind of a weird thing to be hung up on.
@@eggheadegghead this is funny to me 😂 as a native nyer staying in nj atm, i miss those little smells… but now that I’ve experienced how conservatives feel, I get ur thinking💀😭 it’s still like out of all the things that could be unsafe like the homeless’s lack of safety etc you choose legalized weed. Sometimes you gotta just be greatful for your freedom and discernment, it’s not harming u.

I just came back from New York. What stood out to me was how everything is on the move. Everyone seems to be in a hurry somewhere. The drivers honk their horns a lot. Took some getting used too. I had a good time and hope to visit again. Such a lively city.
Hola mi gente de NY !!! Soy un Chileno/Guatemanteco de Montreal !! My latino people representing !!!!
As a NYer, I'm glad that you mentioned the overaction to the safety issues here. I really don't feel that NY is really that unsafe compared to 5 years ago. Just feel that there is more awareness nowadays from the media, which has resulted in more anxiety.
It's all hype. I live in Salt Lake City which people associate with safety and dozens of my fellow class of 1999 peers have committed suicide cause Salt Lake has one of the highest suicide rates in the Nation, THREE TIMES higher than NYC. NYC has one of the lowest suicide rates in the world and some of the lowest substance abuse deaths rates in the Nation. Pick your battles I guess

This dude is a ray of sunshine, penetrating the darkness!🙏 Keep posting man!
As a native New Yorker, I love hearing your thoughts on my hometown. Thanks for keeping it real. Please come back! It is such a transient place, Manhattan in particular, but it is truly HOME to millions of us born and raised here. Sounds obvious, but I feel like people forget due the ever-changing nature of this crazy city.
I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and moved to NYC about 10 years ago. I've lived at one time or another in four of the five boroughs, sorry Staten Island, and your take on the safety issues is spot on. I ride the subway almost every day and the few times I have felt uncomfortable, usually someone being loud not physically threatening, I usually just move to another car or ignore what's going on around me. Some people I grew up with don't understand how I travel around NYC without a gun to protect me because they read the stories of the violence and I think they are influenced by the cliches on TV and in the movies.
I once overheard someone talking to a group of tourists on the 6-train going through Manhattan about how to ride the subway safely. This was not a tour guide but just someone having a conversation. Anyway, he told them that anyone can tell the difference between someone who rides the subway regularly and a tourist 1) Real New Yorkers will pick a spot on the train platform away from the middle of the train unless they are trying to catch a train at the last minute. Often times they will place themselves on the platform waiting for the train based on where they need to be in the station at their destination to quickly get out of the subway. For example, if you know the exit for the subway station is at the front of the train at 42nd Street then if you get on the train at 14th Street you'll wait for the train near the front of the train. 2) Real New Yorkers wear some sort of headphones/earbuds to block out the screeching of the train wheels and also the world around them. 3) When the train starts to move a real New Yorker makes sure they grab something to steady themselves. Usually, the bars near the doors or overhead of the seats or the pole a few steps inside the door. I have personally seen tourist pinball around a subway car because they don't "grab the pole".
A few places you should see once you come back to NYC are the parks in the city and not just Central Park. Go to Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Corona Park in Queens, or Ft. Tryon in Upper Manhattan. All great parks for a nice quiet walk.
Hello, Dan, nice video, thanks! I haven't been to NYC since about 2005. Growing up, we used to to go into the City regularly being only a few hours away in Scranton, Pennsylvania. As a young child we were actually able to take the train right into the city. I love NYC and have never had any issues there and love the diversity of the food and people there. NYC is probably still just not as a welcoming place as either Montreal or Mexico City. You already know my spin on Montreal and Mexico City as being the two greatest international cities in North America. But interesting to hear your impressions... thanks, man!
If u wanna hear the Brooklyn accent visit Southern Brooklyn, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Coney Island, Bensonhurst, Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park etc.
I am a life-long New Yorker (although I have also lived 1 year each in Paris and Milan).
Crime: it is a LOT safer than what gets reported in the media. Happily, our gun laws are much stricter than elsewhere in the States where mass shootings take place (our national shame).
Costs: restaurants tend to be very expensive in midtown Manhattan. Cheaper in lower Manhattan and in much of Brooklyn. But still you have to search. There are many great places where you can eat quite cheaply.
Case in point: In the exceptionally beautiful neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights, there are many expensive restaurants and yet there also some very inexpensive, yet great places.
One thing that seems to be true across the board: if you order alcohol with your meals, that is where you will often pay very inflated places. A single glass of ordinary wine can range from $9 to $18 per glass.

Exactly! I both love Henry's End and Heights Falafel. That's the beauty of it. An expensive restaurant and a falafel shop being near to each other. Man, I miss Brooklyn Heights.
I liked the way you're talk about NYC, in a little analitical way, empathetic. Later, when you show that book, I' ve got why you talk like this, because you're reader. It's great, man. I have never been in USA or Canada, and your impressions are valuable for me. Hope to find it in your other videos.
I've lived just over the river on the Jersey side all of my life so am naturally very familiar with the city and it's always interesting to hear the impressions of people who visit for the first time. I think you're spot on about most things (except the chocolate bar- lol). Most tourists only go to midtown & touristy spots and get the impression that all of Manhattan is that noisy and bustling. Whenever friends visit I take them straight to the village and every one of them has fallen in love with it and thanked me.
Next time you should spend an afternoon in Astoria, Queens! Most diverse neighborhood and languages spoken on the planet. Such an authentic place with amazing food everywhere
Stumbled upon your channel.......love it !
I enjoyed your comments and perspective,
Excellent analysis! I wholeheartedly agree as a new citizen of New York.
This morning by chance I found your channel. Very interesting and committed. I watched for 1.5 hours! I’ve subscribed and look forward to tuning in again soon
Loved the video! Really interesting 🙂
Thanks Samuel! I just sent a msg on insta
I live in NYC; next time organize a subscriber meetup. You didn't mention our most diverse borough Queens. That's where the majority of ethnic enclaves are. Chinatown (Flushing) and Indian Town (Jackson Heights) are the largest enclaves in the USA. Despite the fact that you hear tons of Spanish, most of our product packaging is bilingual in English/French as Canada is our largest trading partner.
I didn't mention Queens because I didn't have visit - but I definitely want to explore Queens next time! Any particular area good for walking around?
I'd say Jackson heights is more of a bengali area than Indian.
Yes. visiting Queens is visiting the world. Also, you should head up to upper Manhattan. Or, take a walk along Riverside Drive! That's a whole other vibe. The other interesting free thing to do is take the Staten Island Ferry.
@@TheNewTravel Jackson Heights is a must. It has Indians, Nepalis, Tibetans, and Bengalis, in addition to Hispanic people. Astoria has Greeks and a very diverse Muslim population from all over the Muslim world. Flushing is the largest Chinatown in the USA, but it also has large Taiwanese and Korean populations, and even a few Uyghurs, as well as a large Hindu temple. Jamaica is very Caribbean among other things. Anywhere near the subway stations in these neighborhoods would be a good place to walk. Interestingly enough, Queens is the only county in the United States where black people on average are wealthier than white people.
@@TheNewTravel Yes, the Astoria neighborhood of Queens where I mostly grew up.
I love NYC, fun and a lot to see, never gets boring, also I feel safe,
Dude, as a Brooklyn native, i feel like you read into my life lol. We are very direct but not mean. In Brooklyn we are much friendlier and quiet, and because it's so expensive I mysef want to leave. Oh and me being Hispanic, the reason why spanish is spoken so much here is because there's lots of Puerto Rican and Dominican people here so yea lol. You should visit coney Island next time ✌
Ps, also buy a bacon, egge and cheese sandwich next time too. I'm going to toronto tomorrow and I can't wait to try the poutine. I've been to Montreal before too. It's a very beautiful city!
Word of warning about Toronto poutine: Sometimes they put shredded cheese or cut cheddar blocks into it. But real poutine is made with cheese curds. If the poutine doesn't have cheese curds, don't try it for your first poutine. You will be disappointed.
@@Imsemble true. I'm in Toronto right now. I had some good poutine in Montreal and when I went to order poutine today, they said they didn't have cheese curds but they had shredded cheese but I declined. That just sounds like disco fries which is similar to poutine but with shredded mozzarella. I hear tim hortons has poutine so I'll go check it out!

@@Xilladan093 those are just psychos. Ignore them. One benefit of being a new yorker is being able to tell the difference between normal weird and dangerous weird lol. But obviously, if someone is trying to get physical then there's probably going to be a confrontation.
Yep, there's way too much doom and gloom. Sometimes I don't realize when I'm getting stuck in a negative feedback loop and its hard to get out of it. Its good to stay informed but it shouldn't be 80% negative and 20% positive. Anyway, thanks again for giving your perspective and sharing your videos.
Been nyc for couple times really love there !
Love this... just found your "how many languages do you speak" videos. What a great idea. When you come back, you must check out QUEENS! More languages spoken in a small(ish) area than anywhere else on earth ( i think).
The disclaimer at the end about safety… I wish the same could be said about the stigma of “superficiality” in Los Angeles. People misjudge LA a lot… at least the humble down to earth parts of it, which is NOT the terminal of the tourist trap cities of LA. Those areas are primarily of people from other states and countries trying out the “rich and famous” lifestyle but that is not “greater LA” or representative of it as a whole.
Excelent video! When you came to Buenos Aires, Argentina? Cheerss
awesome✨
Great video. Loved the vid. of you asking new yorkers what they love & hate about the city.
Great video. Also, please do not EVER change ANYTHING about your teeth. They are gorgeous. I’m obsessed with them.
My husband, 20 year old son and I went to New York for a week In late April, early May. I am so glad that we went. For me the city was a bit crazy, with all the cars honking and people walking in the cross walks (when not supposed to). Not long into the trip - we were doing the same thing! (lol). We ended up staying in a B & B in Union City, New Jersey - a 15/20minute bus ride out from Manhattan. By the end of the day, I loved going home to this quiet area that still had lots of culture. And way cheaper then staying in manhattan. It would have been over 400.00 Canadian a night for a one bedroom. While we got a two bedroom, with a small living room and dining room,and kitchen for $250.00. What I loved most though was the people in New York. We met so many. So many just trying to hustle and make some money - (hard to see in Chinatown so many elderly people - also doing this). But had some of the greatest conversations! And we saw Hamilton in New York! That was something! So while I was a bit nervous about being in such a big city, it actually felt quite safe. Great people!
Pls go back to NYC! And also, I would like to say that your videos really make me feel like Im there too, which ever place/ city you visit. :)
New York is a wonderful, unique and cosmopolitan city, there are plenty of incredible things to see and enjoy by a hypothetical visit in my case. It's a beautiful city regardless of its annoying problems like crimes, legal or illegal sale of firearms, unsafe town halls, dirty alleys, rat sighting and so on. Every city in the world has its ups and downs but that doesn't affect the uniqueness of each city at all. Sometimes when I watch your videos, I look at you and I can notice that you're very expressive and you only say what you think, and that's okay. I didn't feel any remorse while I was watching this eye-opening video just because I still maintain the wish to visit New York City someday. I hope my cherished wish doesn't turn into a nightmare. Likely what I say so far wouldn't make much sense because several foreigners are still coming to New York every day, every month, every year and you know how it goes. It's just a matter of being pretty careful wherever I go and whatever I do, nothing more. 😊

You are a thoughtful young man. Thanks. Worked in NYC for years. The Diversity is it's best feature. Hundreds of languages are spoken. No one cares where you are from.... Peace..
if you want to hear a lot of different languages definitely check out neighborhoods in Queens
come to coop city bronx(the city within a city and largest coop in the world, it used to be freedomland an amusement park).and check out Ozone park queens(known as lil guyana)
I’m a native New Yorker and your video is spot on. Please check out Queens next time. It’s one of the most diverse places in the US and about 138 languages are spoken.
I never had any fears for my safety in New York City. Not since 1979 anyway.. In the 70s there were definitely many unsafe areas but even then I walked every block of the city with no problems. New York and Washington DC have both been so thoroughly gentrified I wouldn't hesitate to go anyplace in either of them. If visiting, ask locals if there are any areas you should avoid but generally common sense will serve you fine.
Your english very understandable and I can understand what you mean! It's fantastic! I hope someday I will learn english on acceptable level...
You can do it! :)
Great video. You reminded me I still want to read the Autobiography of Malcolm X after all these years.
It's a great book. Sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious. Always honest. One of the best I've read in years.
I felt way more unsafe in central Barcelona than I did in Manhattan tbh
Be sure to check out several JEWISH DELIS and BAGELS....coz MONTRAEL and NEW YORK are the centers of this cuisine, amazing.....Research it on line, because the best ones are the older established ones.......It coud be a delicious adventure as well: BUENO SUERTE~
u got the dangerous part spot on mate! nyc is def dangerous, but ppl dont look at the bright side! cops on every block and security overall is very tight wherever u go. Yes there are a lot of crimes, but there are also a lot of happy ppl enjoying their life. NYC is diverse as it gets. nice video

I would love to visit NYC. So nice that spanish is a common thing ;)
I partly grew up in New York City and I smiled at your comments. New York is a very safe city, just use common sense and trust your gut feeling. Do not stand at the edge of the subway platform, wait until the train opens its doors and then walk in. Did you say you stayed in a hotel? Why didn't you stay at the International Hostel on Amsterdam Ave? It has good vibes and camaraderie.
Thanks for visiting our wonderful , chaotic , misunderstood , beautiful , creative, fun, dirty and complex city. The MTA/Gvmnt/Transit workers definitely dont got time for ANYTHING haha i dont blame em because people prob ask them ridiculous questions all day and they dont get paid enough to hand hold tourists trying to take subways/busses. I encourage you to come back , stay in Brooklyn or Queens and explore the boroughs outside of Manhattan. If you enjoy diverse, inexpensive and flavorful food made with love Queens has an ABUNDANCE. Queens NYC is damn near the most diverse place in the world!
This summer I'll be in US, NYC
Have fun!
@@TheNewTravel thank u :)
Nice video Dan ! I always wanted to go to NY but was always scared. But I'm not scared about it's people. I'm afraid of the cops ! Being dark skin makes me fear my safety from the cops.
But it's relatively close from MTL. I remember back in the day, a lot of hustler would go to NY to buy shoes that we didn't have in Canada. They were shoe sellers. Everyone had their shoe pusher lol. You could find them in flea markets. With the currency rate and the cheaper price of shoes in the U.S, this was very lucrative in the 90s early 2000. With internet now, not anymore.
Like if you had a friend selling shoes in MTL back in the day. 😄
Don't worry about it. You and about 5 million other poc in the city. Cops don't bother with you
excellent ! come back:)
I just came back from NYC to Montreal, I have the same impression like you, the subway indeed very confusing and can barely hear the announcement. I travelled to NYC by bus, and when I arrived at the port authority station, there is homeless that guide me through the return bus boarding door, I tipped him 10$ :p
montreal metro is very easy, you have the train line designed by the color, the train station with the name and finally the train direction is the name of the last station the train is going. Thats it
Warning : channel and Video with grand content of good culture 100 percent recommended!!!
Je le trouve mignon, moi.

If you really want to see different in NYC you should explore Riverdale and Fieldston in the Bronx. Honestly, it really doesn't feel like you're even still in NYC there. Other than that, I love your channel bro. Keep up the good work! 😊
My son lives up in Riverdale. He loves the neighborhood.
20-year NY'er here - from Mexico City. Agree with almost everything, but would point out that there are a ton of Latinos in so many different other sectors, including high-ranking positions (both in government and corporations). They are harder to spot because they speak perfect English and dress nicer than the stereotypical Latino immigrant. My point is, let's not put a large group of Hispanics in the same bucket as just here to be the cleaning staff.
Hi Vanessa! Your point is very valid. I don't at all mean to imply that Hispanics are only doing working class jobs. My comments are more aimed at people who are anti-immigration, just to remind them how much they rely on immigrants every day. While we might not all meet that high-ranking Latino, we probably all eat at restaurants with Latino cooks. But you are right to add this context. I love Mexico City by the way - one of the greatest cities on Earth ❤️
I’m not 100% current on statistics, but NYC earned a rep of being dangerous because of the 80s and 90s. After that it actually became the safest city in the USA.
I think this question is also weird regarding the bus schedule. What kind of answer are you expecting that you can rely on? Thats just a question I would personally not even ask. I would plan to be back a few minutes before the official bus departure time in which case I am save :D
Here's what I say about my city: It's not that everyone in New York goes about singing, "We Are the World," but everyone here knows
that everyone else has the same right to be here as she or he, and if someone doesn't like that, that person can leave, because the other
8 million of us are staying.
He just was lucky - feeling safe in NYC
Yeah prices shocked me. I mean you can't go to a restaurant without paying 50 dollars per person. For like just the main meal and a glass of wine. That's it. And not in a fancy place. Crazy...
I have a really strange feeling that you and Veronika Mark (also youtuber) are like two similar souls that should meet each other. 💞crazy I know, 😅this thought just pop up in my mind
People from New York are just honest. It's confused by people from the outside as rudeness.
YOU SHOULD COME İSTANBUL
I've heard that the rent is just too damn high there.
Yeah, you'll see plenty of comments saying how bad certain cities in the USA are. I want to visit my friend in Chicago but a whole lot of people would tell me never to go there because of the crime
New Yorker here and yes NYC is not as safe as ten years ago. In the late 90s, years from 2000-2015 I wouldn’t bat an eye roaming the streets well after midnight. Today I won’t go out after dark. As a tourist, you wouldn’t be wandering around the hoods NY folks do so I don’t blame you for not sensing that level of danger. Amongst American big cities, it’s still one of the safest I guess.
You should've interviewed me. I'm a native New Yorker and probably given a different take on the city.
👏👏
The most shocking thing in New York City is the static electricity during the winter.

Spanish language is very important in the whole world.
They are not exaggerating, it truly is getting ugly bad in all large cities and it is spreading to smaller cities. I live in Houston Texas and I have never in 50 years experienced the wicked I see every day now in 2023
In NYC even the Russians, Jews and Asians speak Spanish.
SMATA WICHU? JEET JET? NO, JU?
(For those who cannot read New York: "What's the matter with you?" "Did you eat yet? "No, did you?")
As someone who was born and raised in Queens I can say that the person at the bus station was being as polite as they knew how.
.
Not many people are proud of admitting they come from Queens but wacha gonna do?
Here's a NY story I love. JFK airport. Circa 1980. Everyone is waiting at the luggage carousel . And waiting, And waiting, And waiting. No bags are coming out. Typical NY.
Finally, an old man in a very heavy Jewish NY accent says in a loud voice, to no one in particular:
"Well, first they gotta have their coffee break. And then they gotta have their cigarette break. And then they gotta call their girlfriend..."
Regarding announcements. All public announcements made in places such as subway and bus stations in NY all sound as if they were being made by Charlie Brown's teacher. You're not supposed to understand them and you're not supposed to ask.
05:55 you are safe... until it happens to you, and you remain a statistic
Hello everyone! I'm looking for someone in NYC interested to learn Spanish for free using Teams and such I could to improve my English as well. I love languages and to teach too! All langages are huge and amazing treasures. By the way, good channel and exciting content.

We’re not all just store clerks and maids. Spanish/Hispanics have been here since the beginning of the US.
Also, New Yorkers are as friendly as anyone else. We just don’t have the time to stand around and cater to everyone’s sensibilities.
In North America, they speak Native American languages, if people want to speak English, they should go back to Europe 😂😂(sarcasm)
even in europe, oftentimes europeans tend to know several languages (as in being bilingual/trilingual) lmao

The United States has no official language so perhaps people shouldn’t talk. I think it’s funny people complain about it people not speaking English here but then go to a none English speaking country and don’t speak the native tounge
What about the rats there.?
I saw a total of 1 rat on my visit, running across the sidewalk at night. While I'd rather a city not have them, I can't say it bothered me much and wasn't really a surprise 😅
@@TheNewTravel Thats not to bad because ive heard that there is alot of them there.
