New York is insanely diverse. Upstate NY is vastly different than Western NY, which is different from Northern NY, which is different from the Adirondacks, which is different from NYC.
Great explanation but you left out Long Island & westchester county although westchester is the start of Upstate it’s very different than other places in the North this coming from someone born and raised in Southern NY Long Island & NYC 🗽
Suffolk county being insanely rich is kind of misleading. Most of the people I know are middle to higher middle class. Its a small percentage of New yorkers that own all the big expensive houses. But everything here is ridiculously expensive
I live in NY and I like the schools, sites to see, and beaches. What I don't like is the politicians like Cuomo and de Blasio. Cuomo only cares about building new subway stations instead of fixing the current subway infrastructure. A good example of this is Chambers Street on the J and Z. That station is in dire need for maintenance. When a subway system in the most isolated country in the world (North Korea) has a more beautiful and maintained metro system than a subway system of a world power, there is something that needs to be done
no mention of Binghamton.... i dont blame you IBM likes to forget about us too also forgot to mention: Upstate NYers always have to explain to everyone that when they say they are from New York, they are not from New York City, because let me tell you what i do when i talked to someone outside of the state.
Binghamton suck period ..i grew up there left and came back after ten year still look the same then i move out of state again because how miserable it is there
It’s exhausting. I’ve lived in Virginia for 4 years now. Every time I tell someone from NY state, they immediately think I’m from NY city. I’m from Plattsburgh Ny area.
@@rosealexander9007 And nobody in the NYC, and thereby the national media ever refers to the Plattsburgh area as being on the shore of Lake Champlain or near the Adirondacks; it's always referred to as "extreme upstate New York". Burlington, VT never gets that kind of treatment.
I live on Long Island, in Suffolk County. I'll elaborate on some of the generalizations in the video: On average, Nassau County is richer than Suffolk County. It's closer to NYC and has a shorter commute. Anyone who works in the city (which offers higher paying jobs) would prefer to live closer to the city for the shorter commute. They already work 70 hours a week so they're willing to pay more to have a shorter commute to work each day. On average the North Shore neighborhoods are more affluent than the South Shore neighborhoods. There are exceptions to this rule, but for the most part it holds true. The South shore is flatter and is where all the beaches are. There are some ports, but it's mostly beachfront. The North Shore is rockier and has deeper waters, making it ideal for boating. Fishing and crabbing can be done on both the north and south shore. The Hamptons are where the super wealthy prefer to vacation. But not everyone who lives in the Hamptons are ultra rich. There are still some "normal" people living in the Hamptons. The east end of the Island are where some of our farms are located. In our history much of Long Island started out as farmland. Suburban development bought out/forced out a bunch of those farmers but some still live here. They grow typical crops like corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. But the cash crop are grapes. Grapes make wine, wine is expensive to make and the Hamptons are nearby and willing to buy expensive things. It makes sense. Some of the wealthier neighborhoods of Suffolk county include Dix Hills, Port Jefferson, Brightwaters and Riverhead. The roughest neighborhoods of Suffolk county are Wyndanch, Central Islip and Brentwood. Some of Nassau county's wealthiest neighborhoods include Manhasset, East Norwich, Muttontown and Cold Spring Harbor. The roughest towns are Freeport, Baldwin and Huntington Station. Jones Beach and Robert Moses Beach are two of the more popular beaches on the South Shore for normal residents. Jones Beach is frequently referenced by Adam Sandler in his movies. Long Island traffic is often mocked and satired by those who live here. It can take us an hour to travel 8 miles during our rush hour. For this reason most people elect to take the train (Long Isand RailRoad) to and from the city. And the Babylon line is the line that experiences the most delays, as reported by the local news. As bad as our traffic is, it is nothing compared to NYC. Once you hit Queens you will notice a major difference in the driving conditions. Long Island is a very diverse place. We have lots of nationalities represented here and have considerably high concentrations of Italians, Irish, German, Polish, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Dominican, Mexican, Venezuealan, Korean, Jewish, Indian and Russian immigrants living here. Pretty much the only culture that isn't represented significantly here are Native Americans... which is ironic. Because of all the diverse cultures living here we are spoiled with lots of great restaurants to choose from. There are the usual Chinese, Italian and Mexican restaurants but also Portugese, Indian, Dominican, Korean and much more exotic places to choose from. New York has 2 teams representing them in nearly every sport. There's a lot of sports rivalries in full show here. Sports bars are in nearly every town and they showcase memorabilia from both teams in each sport. The average Long Islander is usually a Mets, Jets, Islanders & Knicks fan. The NYC residents are Yankees, Giants, Rangers and Nets fans. Usually, but not always. It varies per person, but we are very vocal of our sports teams nonetheless. Did I leave anything out fellow Long Islanders?
@@t-squared6406 Buffalo is on the border of Canada and is roughly an 8 hour drive away. Trenton, Hartford, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and Pittsburgh are all a shorter drive from where I live than Buffalo. I've only ever been to Buffalo once. We visited the university there (its very large and has its own rail system) and I also ate at the Anchor Bar, the spot where Buffalo wings were invented. It was alright. We were gone in 4 hours. I'm probably not the best person to ask about Buffalo. Nick Johnson probably knows more about it than I do.
I used to live in NY and I lived in the Poughkeepsie area. Poughkeepsie is often considered the upper boundary of the metro area because that's where the furthest train station is to catch a train that'll take you all the way down to Grand Central in NYC without having to change trains. Also the "local" news from Fox, NBC, etc., are all about life in the city. When you go north out of that area towards Kingston or Albany, that's when you start getting separated from NYC. Good overview though. This is something I'd like to show my nephew sometime and show him a little about where his mother grew up. I like your channel! Very informative!
I live in the country side nearby Rochester but it's poor when you go deep into the city. I got cousins who live deep in the city and they're roads are littered and all the houses are old and run down. It's no different like the area I live in but the people in my area are generous
@@johnphilips6868 the city is a huge shithole besides for the university which provides most of the jobs in the area... monrow County itself is pretty shitty except for the east side suburbs
I remember when Rochester used to be an economic hub for New York. Companies like Kodak, Xerox, and wegmans all started there. It’s just sad to see it decline so much
Northern NY and upstate (*true* upstate) NY are two entirely different worlds. Coming from New England, NY is so big there are actually cities that are hours apart that most people in places like MA or VT don't even know exist (like Binghamton). I got to work a lot in upstate NY and grew to really love the place. There are whole different regions (not like on the New England states' maps): the Finger Lakes Region, the Adirondacks, the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, the Southern Tier Region, the Capitol Region, and whatever that really flat farm area is between the Adirondacks and Canada. Beautiful state as long as you stay *far* away from the southernmost part, aka the Metropolis.
The area between the Adirondacks and Canada is mostly St.Lawrence County which has the last city north of Syracuse in NY being Ogdensburg right up on the Canadian border. The rest are just towns and villages.
@@NorthernForester Thanks. I've worked in Messina, Malone, Potsdam, Watertown, and Plattsburgh. I've enjoyed drives along Rt 11 and 11a, but loved drives through the Adirondacks even more, which I took to get to many of these places, especially traveling through Keene Valley, along with Long Lake, Tupper Lake, and Saranac Lake. I miss those drives.
Some of this was accurate but most of this is not as accurate, especially when you said the Bronx is a terrible place to live, some of the Bronx is very city suburban and beautiful, otherwise this was mostly inaccurate
I’m a New Jersey resident and I love New York and the city itself. I love the city cause of its culture, entertainment, food, and much more. Heck I was even born in Manhattan. However, I do agree with those who say they don’t like cuomo because from what I’ve seen he seems like an ass. For instance, he renamed the tappen zee bridge to the Mario cuomo bridge. It’s a dick move in my opinion cause he takes this important piece of infrastructure and names it after his father. In my opinion very selfish, but how do you guys feel about not only the bridge and cuomo, but New York in general? Also where does mappy get off prank calling people? Also didn’t he have a son? But he is quite rude for wasting that persons time.
I'm seeing a lot of people ragging on Nick for pronunciations and information. This was one of the first unboxing videos and he did a pretty good job considering he didnt get help from any of us nyers like he gets with his newer videos. I enjoyed it.

It used to be the coolest city in the world until the late 1990s. Now its sterilized version of Disney World that cost a fortune with smelly hipster trash and trust fund babies everywhere
@Jerry Silk Because its the financial capital of the world. With largest city population and world view in the USA. Number one pick for Terrorism. If you want boring cities go to Pittsburgh.
New York City in the 80s looked like this graffiti covered subway car. New York City today looks like this shows empty subway car I’ve never actually seen an empty subway car in New York City except in my dreams so thank you for the visual.
I am a native New Yorker and boy you nailed it… Do you live in New York? It’s rare to hear somebody explain New York with so many subtle nuances that’s not a native. Thanks for the video! 🫡 Also on a sidenote, my family is not wealthy, but I feel New York has given us a good chance of living, a happy prosperous life. I personally have never struggled to find employment or housing. I am the first to criticize New York, but deep in my heart, I’m a New Yorker… 🗽
Not all parts of the Bronx are bad. It's not the 1970s anymore. Parts of the northern and eastern Bronx are nice. I live in a chill neighborhood here in The Bronx.
I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I love Manhattan. NY is too expensive now to live. I now reside in Georgia. I'm getting adjusted but I want to move to a state close to NYC later on. Any suggestions on what is a good state to move to close to NYC later that's not too expensive?
@@jimmorrison3715 If you think there is any place in the states that come even close to how PR is you are sadly mistaken. The Bronx is literally a disgrace to the island hence why people from the island frown very hard at Nuyoricans. They are nothing like the island.
@@NickJohnson Yet he is right. Your presentation is punchy and interesting. Don't know how you would do that, though, since these are foreign countries for you.
Well for me, and I think just about anyone else from Long Island and the 5 boroughs, anything above The Bronx is upstate. They are an entirely different breed up there.
His stereotype was off they don't smell like Curry But let me tell you something it is not always very fun to take a cab in New York City in the summer when a lot of people who drive cabs don't believe in deodorant for one reason or the other Curry would be an improvement
I am pretty sure the maker/writer of this video did not grow up in a big city. None of the downside mentioned (crowded, crime, overpriced) is something native NYer care about, because that's what we grew up in. And the video doesn't mention the upsides of living in a major city - 24/7 stores/restaurants/bars, walk everywhere, parks with people, finding people for every hobby.
Beacon NY, my home town. 25 minutes south of Poughkeepsie and 60 minutes north of the Bronx. Take the Metro North it runs from P.K to the Bronx, Grand Central and vice versa. I love New York!!!
I live in NY and I feel like you were more broad with MA. Also Upstate is the North area, the western side where Buffalo, Rochester are located is called Western New York. Very informative video mostly about NYC.
Give him a break I was born in Long Island and raised in The Bronx NYC even I don’t go past westchester county Upstate why would we need to there’s so many cities in counties in Southern NY alone
im from Iran and i use to search any useful information about living in US, your unboxing video are great, it helped me a lot getting familiar to all different states,So tnX dude👍
Daniel Bazalar Check out Manhattan, Kansas or Brooklyn, Iowa. Both are less expensive options. The former is a K State town and the latter, sad to say, is a farming community, that probably beat NYC, as far as murder rate per capita.
@@marilynringel9228 Yes I know...I was born and raised in the Bronx and went to school in "Riverdale". However, at the end of the day its still the Bronx lol.
Yes Riverdale and Throgs neck and country club I even say Clarson point and Pelham Bay but I’m from The Bx trust me even in Riverdale there’s mad Pjs ands hoods and I have homies nearby in Marble hill Pjs off Broadway on the Westside near the 1 train
You just gave Mappy a pay raise Which was the best thing you did for Mappy and a wise investment for your channel!! Without Mappy your channel would be very drab and boring!! Keep up the great work Mr. Johnson!! MAPPY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in Long Island (north shore, wealthy, Jewish) and I would say people are half conservative and half liberal. I know a lot of my friends who are Jewish and rich, who’s parents are rich and liberal (no where near sjw level). I switch between Republican and Democrat depending on what term it is and who the presidential candidate is. If you look at recent studies, a higher percentage of Phd’s and those with master’s degrees are liberal rather than conservative which is a switch from the 80’s and 90’s. I thought that was interesting because one would think liberals are young, dumb college kids or poor inner city dwellers; however, that isn’t true anymore.
One of my favorite places is liberal. Its the Oregon coast like Cannon Beach and Coos Bay. If i could afford to live there, thats where id be. For the beauty, relaxation, and of course the sound of the waves crashing.

Hey Nick. Hey Mappy, how are you. Can you start your own channel. I would be binge watching all your Mappy comedy. P.S. Can you unbox Virginia (my state) please. Yay! You mentioned my state. Yes, it’s less dense because when you go closer to the border of VA and WV its pretty rural but I live in the DC metro area.
You say often in your videos "downtown" NY. There is a downtown Brooklyn but not Manhattan. In Manhattan it is a direction not a neighborhood. It is called lower Manhattan. I cant relate when you say "downtown" NY! Unless you mean all of Manhattan. It does not have a downtown area like other cities. Businesses are all over especially midtown. Again it is a direction not a neighborhood!
Hello Nick, could please do a video about Unboxing Connecticut. I'm planning to move out of New York, and Connecticut seems appealing to me. Thank you.
Let me guess! The 25,000 dollar pyramid theme song from the 80's in the beginning and at the end... not REALLY sure but it sounds like a movie "special" intro on tv theme song of the late 70's to 80's? Very informative video and entertaining!
@@NickJohnson i think you need to do a part 2 on upstate ny. break it down what it is. western , ( buffalo. roc) central, ( syracuse ) southern tier.(binghamton) upstate.( the real upstate) a-daks. st, lawrence eastern n.y.( sarasota.albany) this is what makes N.Y. , and not N.Y. C.. so ppl can see the differnce between the two. shout out to my 585-315! Go Cuse! Go Yankees!
By the way Nick FYI, a 2017 Quinnipiac Poll was taken and they found that there were more New York Mets fans than New York Yankees fans in New York City. Those Mets fans mostly despise the Yankees, just as much as Boston Red Sox fans despise the Yankees.
You never mentioned Rockland County in the Lower Hudson Valley, which is where I live and was raised since birth. We're across the river from Westchester with the same high taxes but we have poor infrastructure and few attractions to show for it. It's boring here; there isn't much to do outside NYC. I'm moving to FL to escape Democrat policies, miserable weather, and endless boredom. Just keep FL red, please.
NYC is awesome, great place to live. The city is a show, but you have to remember to pace yourself here. Upstate is gorgeous. We have great state Parks for hiking and back to nature. Upstate is reall underrated. Most of Long Island is yucky suburbs until you get to eastern Suffolk County. Staten island sucks.
Hey. I think you clumped a lot of parts of NY into upstate. Rochester Buffalo Syracuse and Albany are all similar and are far from rural. Suburbs are nice. Cities are ghetto. I think you should do another video on upstate NY, Western NY, Catskill regions. A lot of stuff there.
The best kept secret in NYC is Broad Channel. I had the privilege of growing up there, imagine living in a small town with all of that initials....now picture that it's on its own island and still just a 45 minute to ide on the A train to midtown Manhattan.
The only way your property taxes will be high in upstate new york is if your house newly built and also Westchester County (above The Bronx) is technically upstate.
Westchester shares a contiguous border with the Bronx. It is not upstate. There are places you can cross the street back and forth in and of the Bronx and Westchester.
unless you are wealthy and live ina luxury high rise apartment near all of the fine dining and things to do and have all of the time and money to enjoy them.

I personally have never struggled to find employment or housing. I am the first to criticize New York, but deep in my heart, I’m a New Yorker… 🗽
no chance this guy has ever lived in new york. he pronounced albany and suffolk incorrectly.
Awesome video. As the old commercial used to say: "I love New York...for a great vacation."
I miss New York, it can be a sad płace, especially upsate, but there is a beautiful charm to it.
Not all parts of the Bronx are bad. It's not the 1970s anymore. Parts of the northern and eastern Bronx are nice. I live in a chill neighborhood here in The Bronx.
I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I love Manhattan. NY is too expensive now to live. I now reside in Georgia. I'm getting adjusted but I want to move to a state close to NYC later on. Any suggestions on what is a good state to move to close to NYC later that's not too expensive?
Its NOT AL-BINNY. Its AWL-BANY. And yes, its poor. And broke.If it wasn't for New York City most of NY state would be like Maine.
Most of it is, at least north of albany.
You should do an unboxing puerto rico lol, ik it's not a state just a territory but still would be interesting
Yesss!!
He talked about the Bronx same thing
@@jimmorrison3715 lool true
I agree
@@jimmorrison3715 If you think there is any place in the states that come even close to how PR is you are sadly mistaken. The Bronx is literally a disgrace to the island hence why people from the island frown very hard at Nuyoricans. They are nothing like the island.
Try to start unboxing each province and territory of Canada! And unbox some European countries while you're at it. Love the content!
Wow so many requests Daniel!
@@NickJohnson Yet he is right. Your presentation is punchy and interesting. Don't know how you would do that, though, since these are foreign countries for you.
Great video Nick keep them coming
Thanks Rob
Mappy needs a higher salary so i can mug him like its 1980s NYC
Well for me, and I think just about anyone else from Long Island and the 5 boroughs, anything above The Bronx is upstate. They are an entirely different breed up there.
AGREE💯
I don't care what internet said. I love NY ♥️
Keep coping lol
Don't forget to store your Murphy bed before going to work! : l
I live in NY and it’s horrible
Why NYS is still a shithole
@@Futurekid1996 because of NYC why do you think we want to become our own state
"A creepy guy that smells like curry" lmao
His stereotype was off they don't smell like Curry
But let me tell you something it is not always very fun to take a cab in New York City in the summer when a lot of people who drive cabs don't believe in deodorant for one reason or the other Curry would be an improvement
I am pretty sure the maker/writer of this video did not grow up in a big city. None of the downside mentioned (crowded, crime, overpriced) is something native NYer care about, because that's what we grew up in. And the video doesn't mention the upsides of living in a major city - 24/7 stores/restaurants/bars, walk everywhere, parks with people, finding people for every hobby.
AGREE!💯
He grew up in San Bernado California
NYC has some exquisite and diverse architecture. It's frigging beautiful. The housing cost is the only eyesore tbh.
Beacon NY, my home town. 25 minutes south of Poughkeepsie and 60 minutes north of the Bronx. Take the Metro North it runs from P.K to the Bronx, Grand Central and vice versa. I love New York!!!
Beacons developing quickly these days.
I live in Kingston, my mom used to work in beacon :)
I live in NY and I feel like you were more broad with MA. Also Upstate is the North area, the western side where Buffalo, Rochester are located is called Western New York. Very informative video mostly about NYC.
Ok Lexa noted.
North Country, not area.
i cant believe how lil he did about the REAL NY.... Im proud to be from Western NY
Give him a break I was born in Long Island and raised in The Bronx NYC even I don’t go past westchester county Upstate why would we need to there’s so many cities in counties in Southern NY alone
Yup this video was a huge fail
I never heard anyone say Albany like that😭 it's more like olbany
Haha probs
More like “awl” bany
The biggest problem with Albany is Andrew Cuomo!
all-b'ny
Yo, I lost it at “Mappy” 😅😂🤣 Subscribed!
Anyone in the Lake Effect snow areas of NY State has had most of the life sucked out of them by non-stop snow and freezing cold for 4 months a year.
im from Iran and i use to search any useful information about living in US, your unboxing video are great, it helped me a lot getting familiar to all different states,So tnX dude👍
Wow, I check ALL 3!
1. Killed cockroach with bare hands
2. 3 AM bodega beer run
3. Mugged
I must be a Super New Yorker!
You ARE!!
Well, at least I'm not moving to Manhattan and Brooklyn since it is Way Too Expensive. No Way.
Daniel Bazalar Check out Manhattan, Kansas or Brooklyn, Iowa. Both are less expensive options. The former is a K State town and the latter, sad to say, is a farming community, that probably beat NYC, as far as murder rate per capita.
Just move to Rochester ny
The Bronx is your friend then
You can always move to jersey like across the Hudson in Hoboken or Jersey City
If you were smart you would live in Queens
Some of the what you stated had some merit, however, the Bronx has some beautiful and expensive places to live ie: Riverdale.
People in Riverdale don't say they are in tbe Bronx - they say Riverdale!
@@marilynringel9228 Yes I know...I was born and raised in the Bronx and went to school in "Riverdale". However, at the end of the day its still the Bronx lol.
Yes Riverdale and Throgs neck and country club I even say Clarson point and Pelham Bay but I’m from The Bx trust me even in Riverdale there’s mad Pjs ands hoods and I have homies nearby in Marble hill Pjs off Broadway on the Westside near the 1 train
I am a brazilian and I like so much your videos! Thanks! Congratulations!
Hey Leandro!
Não acredite na metade. Muito comentário preconceituoso.
I do public restroom reviews if that interests anyone at all. I love these videos
I'd rather pee on a tree than use most public restrooms.
...take their frustrations on chicken wings of various flavors ... :)
spicy and thats it
You just gave Mappy a pay raise
Which was the best thing you did for Mappy and a wise investment for your channel!! Without Mappy your channel would be very drab and boring!! Keep up the great work Mr. Johnson!!
MAPPY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha we'll wait till next week it gets saucy William!!
New York publishes my favorite Garfield books I love those books
I lived in Saratoga County and absolutely loved it. Quiet. Good people.
I’ve never been to NY, but thanks for the eye opener 🙃. Mappy got secrets huh 🤣
Mappy got so much goin on
I grew up in Long Island (north shore, wealthy, Jewish) and I would say people are half conservative and half liberal. I know a lot of my friends who are Jewish and rich, who’s parents are rich and liberal (no where near sjw level). I switch between Republican and Democrat depending on what term it is and who the presidential candidate is. If you look at recent studies, a higher percentage of Phd’s and those with master’s degrees are liberal rather than conservative which is a switch from the 80’s and 90’s. I thought that was interesting because one would think liberals are young, dumb college kids or poor inner city dwellers; however, that isn’t true anymore.
Interesting. I also am not tied down to one party (haven't sold my soul). I vote for whoever i think is good at that time.
One of my favorite places is liberal. Its the Oregon coast like Cannon Beach and Coos Bay. If i could afford to live there, thats where id be. For the beauty, relaxation, and of course the sound of the waves crashing.
Great points Elizabeth!
Ohhhh...I'm really loving 😂😆🤣 these belly laughs and details!! Lmao Peace sent from R.I 😆 I'm dyin' ova hair!! Thanx 😄
Hey Maryann ❤️❤️ you have yourself a good holiday week ❤️
“New York, New York- so nice they named it twice..” 😍🙏 I’m praying for her recovery. NYC-LI beaches a great place to grow up..in the Good ‘Ol Days. Somehow tho, I think it has to come back! The Apple’s been rotting before ❤
Great video! Been to Little Italy, Greenwich village & used to attend the West Point football games .. grest tailgating❗
I think Mappy should get paid more 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Charles Lima Yeah Mappy has Mrs Mappy and his Mappy kids too.
Okay I'll give him a raise next video;)
There are many people who live in New York City who think that YONKERS is upstate!
True. It makes no sense.
I'm from Philadelphia and I had a New York person tell me that it's down south I don't know if he been sleeping under a rock since he was born
It’s annoying!! I just got done talking to someone on another site that lives in Yonkers and thinks that NY city is the whole state of NY
Facts!!
Those same people probably think New Jersey is in Mexico.
you say yuck to the Bronx but alot of people are moving here now
Because housing is cheap
I love the Bronx. They have great ethnic food. People who come to the city, and only do stuff in Manhattan, missed out on what NYC is really about.
this whole review is stuck in the 70s, the Bronx has nice places and not so nice places just like anywhere.
I wouldn’t live in NYC if it was free!
The Rats & trash there now I visited 2 years ago for my B-D at Time square Hotel oh my goodness.
What's your next Unboxing video gonna be? Btw love the vids
Spider probably Ohio or Michigan :) hope you subbed - I try. What's your state?
@@NickJohnson Of course I'm subbed! I love the way you don't care about offending people, you call what you see. I'm actually from Ireland but I hope to move to the USA as soon as I can; I hate Ireland
@@toms6728 are you serious? i would LOVE to live in Ireland!
I would like to see Nick do a vid on Ireland! sliante
@@NickJohnson pls do a vid on Ireland. and also Scotland.
Born & raised in Goshen NY.
I love New York.
Warwick, here!
how dare you accuse us of having Dunkin Donuts. This is Tim Hortons country.
Hey Nick. Hey Mappy, how are you. Can you start your own channel. I would be binge watching all your Mappy comedy.
P.S. Can you unbox Virginia (my state) please.
Yay! You mentioned my state. Yes, it’s less dense because when you go closer to the border of VA and WV its pretty rural but I live in the DC metro area.
Jaslene Mappy just might do that. I'll do Virginia soon I swear!
Thanks for 8:49! Gave me a good laugh!
did you just pronounce "Suffolk County" like "Suh-follllk"? The L is silent and people say it like "Suh-fik" XD
Okay my bad
It was funny, that's all. 🤣 no worries
Nick, Hopefully you wore face paint when you sang NY Groove. 😂
I did not haha
I live in NYC it’s over rated
I would say go upstate but I would rather tell you to leave the state due to Cuomo
Because you ain't got game.
talks about 20% of state for 8 minutes
talks about rest for 3 minutes
Love you Nick! You’re too funny. 😍🥰😘
Love you Sarah B! Mappy says hi 😉
Nick Johnson - give my love to Mappy! ♥️♥️♥️
You jumped from Westchester to Albany! You skipped the best, most picturesque part of the state……the mid-Hudson Valley!
Oops
Do unboxing Charlotte NC please 🙌
You mean North Carolina the state
I like your videos. I just subscribed!
You say often in your videos "downtown" NY. There is a downtown Brooklyn but not Manhattan. In Manhattan it is a direction not a neighborhood. It is called lower Manhattan. I cant relate when you say "downtown" NY! Unless you mean all of Manhattan. It does not have a downtown area like other cities. Businesses are all over especially midtown. Again it is a direction not a neighborhood!
Chicken wing jab had me week, did Buffalo dirty. 😆 🤣
Hello Nick, could please do a video about Unboxing Connecticut. I'm planning to move out of New York, and Connecticut seems appealing to me. Thank you.
friday. or tuesday.
"They're liberal, unfortunately"? Tell me why that's unfortunate, please.
Jesus that comment burns me up.
@@dx42right like ? Being blue is a compliment 😭😭. Suffolk and the red parts of nassau are embarrassments
You should do an unboxing on each borough if NYC.
very nice Nick. i hope you will make unboxing video from all states!
Jason I'm trying!
You definitely need to have a reason for being here. If you don't, there are better places you could be in.
Saratoga Springs and Lake George... that area is awesome, north of Albany
I live there. Very nice.
@@ethan.000 me, too. I didn’t appreciate this overview of our state.
@@bethknight4436 Yup.
Let me guess! The 25,000 dollar pyramid theme song from the 80's in the beginning and at the end... not REALLY sure but it sounds like a movie "special" intro on tv theme song of the late 70's to 80's? Very informative video and entertaining!
Thanks Dan. That was the ABC Saturday Night Movie intro/outro song
And that $25,000 Pyramid song is stuck in my head now 😎
Nick ~ 🙂Have you ever thought of doing Yonkers, NY? Your Videos are great!
I lived in NYC its pretty acurate and upstate its pretty accurate...too
NYC is a bit intimidating for this Midwest girl, but it’s a cool place-rural NY is super cool too!
Not sure if you’ve done it before but can you do an unboxing of Colorado?
My Father was Born on March 27, 1961 In Johnson City in Upstate New York, not to mention My dad moved to Florida in the Mid 80s
Thank u bc I live in new York and I wanted 2 see what u had to say about it
What did you think?
@@NickJohnson its pronounced (all-ban-y) and it's not boring
@@NickJohnson i think you need to do a part 2 on upstate ny. break it down what it is. western , ( buffalo. roc)
central, ( syracuse )
southern tier.(binghamton)
upstate.( the real upstate) a-daks. st, lawrence
eastern n.y.( sarasota.albany)
this is what makes N.Y. ,
and not N.Y. C.. so ppl can see the differnce between the two.
shout out to my 585-315! Go Cuse! Go Yankees!
Use to live in Manhattan,I moved out because I can’t afford the rent,it’s ridiculously expensive.
I love NY.. i’m from Long Island
Me too. Close to NYC and not too far from the Catskill mountains. The best of all worlds!
By the way Nick FYI, a 2017 Quinnipiac Poll was taken and they found that there were more New York Mets fans than New York Yankees fans in New York City. Those Mets fans mostly despise the Yankees, just as much as Boston Red Sox fans despise the Yankees.
Yes and Long Island is a world on itself
I live for your mappy skits and your silly songs
You never mentioned Rockland County in the Lower Hudson Valley, which is where I live and was raised since birth. We're across the river from Westchester with the same high taxes but we have poor infrastructure and few attractions to show for it. It's boring here; there isn't much to do outside NYC. I'm moving to FL to escape Democrat policies, miserable weather, and endless boredom. Just keep FL red, please.
Rockland is Jew central. Ive never seen more Hasidics in my life
The "blues are coming baby" Trump lost!
@@queens6583 Update: Started at UCF last semester. Feels great to escape Dem oppression!
NYC is awesome, great place to live. The city is a show, but you have to remember to pace yourself here. Upstate is gorgeous. We have great state Parks for hiking and back to nature. Upstate is reall underrated. Most of Long Island is yucky suburbs until you get to eastern Suffolk County. Staten island sucks.
Dang
Hey. I think you clumped a lot of parts of NY into upstate. Rochester Buffalo Syracuse and Albany are all similar and are far from rural. Suburbs are nice. Cities are ghetto. I think you should do another video on upstate NY, Western NY, Catskill regions. A lot of stuff there.
The best kept secret in NYC is Broad Channel. I had the privilege of growing up there, imagine living in a small town with all of that initials....now picture that it's on its own island and still just a 45 minute to ide on the A train to midtown Manhattan.
“very liberal which is why the city has so many issues” that’s debatable.
It is not you cant be to much of something.
this channel’s conservative bias is insanely noticeable. just watch his top liberal states video then his top conservative states video...
The only way your property taxes will be high in upstate new york is if your house newly built and also Westchester County (above The Bronx) is technically upstate.
Westchester shares a contiguous border with the Bronx. It is not upstate. There are places you can cross the street back and forth in and of the Bronx and Westchester.
@@therealist3495 I wouldn't even say that Orange is upstate.
I live in Passaic County, New Jersey. We border Orange County.
But wait I thought the jobs were being driven out of upstate
It would be a nightmare to live in new york city.
@Really Jayden how can yall people live in a place so populated. Plus im scared of heights so every single building will scare me.
@Really Jayden Omg the pollution in that city plus the rodents
@Really Jayden yall people weird, but you do you.
unless you are wealthy and live ina luxury high rise apartment near all of the fine dining and things to do and have all of the time and money to enjoy them.
You get used to it. So used to it that you'll think you're better than everyone else, lol.
Another Gem Nick
