    Amazed by the timing!! I am reading NEW YORK by Edward Rutherfurd, and it tells the story of NYC from 1664 up to 2001. I am enjoying so much your video today, as I can see the places that are reflected in the book. Thanks a lot, you guys, that is really rewarding! Well done. Ariel, you have a new subscriber from Spain. Congrats!

    Great collaboration and hidden gems for tourists and native New Yorker's alike. My hidden gem is in upper Manhattan inside Inwood Hill Park by 215th... Shorakkopoch Rock, a site where Peter Minuit bought the island of Manhatta from the Native Indians.. Keep up your fine work.

    Great video. One note, the Guastavino tiles are not Italian but were brought to NY by the Spaniard Rafael Guastavino, who got a patent for this Catalan-styled vault construction and built it all over NY.

      That´s right! Guastavino was Spanish from Valencia and he built some 250 buildings in NYC and more than one thousand in the rest of the country. His specialty was the flame retardant tiles he used to cover domes and ceilings. Great architect, indeed.

The brewery is in a random industrial estate on the outskirts of dublin, exactly 250m from where I watched this vid. Crazy!!! So happy to see more vids from you actually back out and about in the city :)

    The Wall St. bombing was quickly cleaned up as to avoid a bank panic. The bomb left a crater in the street and was filled in by the end of the day.
    Chambers St. has three separate stations. The 1 2 3, the A C, and the J Z. Which one? I assume the J Z since it's near a cluster of NYPD facilities...

    As you walked into Cannon's Walk, I had to pause the video because my main thought was "I recognize that area!" I didn't recognize Cannon's Walk itself, since I didn't realize that area existed. Rather, I recognized the building you walked through to get to it. A few years ago, some friends and I sat on those colorful benches enjoying our ice cream from Big Gay Ice Cream.

    Being Irish I was intrigued as to why there's an obelisk dedicated to Robert Emmet in Manhattan, so I done some reading. It's not actually dedicated to Robert Emmet, it's to his older brother Thomas Emmet, who went to America and became a lawyer after Robert died in the failed Irish rebellion of 1803.
