Walking NYC : St. George, Staten Island
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2021
- I walk through the neighborhood of St. George, Staten Island. This is the northernmost point of Staten Island, and the closest point on the borough to Manhattan. It is home to the Richmond County Courthouse, Staten Island Ferry, and Staten Island Borough Hall.

Thank you so much for mentioning my husband's store African Union Market on your video. We appreciate it being a small business. Thank you
Cool!!
Interesting Fact , many actors in the 50s and 60s lived in those apartments you passed (Paul Newman and Martin Sheen for instance) because it was cheaper then Manhattan and its proximity to the Ferry.
Awesome video. ❤️ I was born in SI and lived in St. George and Tomkinsville. So many great memories.❤️
Thank you for the video. Brings back sooo many memories.
AK knows, northern SI and southern SI have a much different vibe from one another.
Yes, completely different!
thats because all of the great members of the community and all the "teens" on the north side go there at night and really see
Great video, thanks for showing it around. That CSI is an extension of the main campus more centrally located. There are some beautiful older homes in the historic district along St Marks. The SI Museum moved to Snug Harbor, which is a vast complex with historical homes dating back to Naval housing . (Also from Lady Gaga's Marry The Night music video). Victory Blvd was named after the victory from WWI. Check out Fort Wadsworth and the paths to South Beach for your next visit!
I like those historylessons you giving us! Interesting walk as always! TC! 🖐
9:48 The Kid has celebrity status in New York City 🗽
I use to live in Staten Island 17 years ago, I couldn't take the commute. Time flies for sure.
Wow! Nice place to George, Staten Island Thank you for video showing! Have a great walking.👍
Beautiful walk! Great job well done!!👏👍
My pleasure!
Nice trip my friend, thank you for sharing this video
Interestingly enough after living in NYC for over 20 years now, I have never visited Staten Island. After watching this, I def want to check it out now; it seems like a really chill place. Thanks AK!
Wow, you've never been to Staten Island? You have to visit!
@@ActionKid it looks to be that way, haha!!
as a staten islander, its boring here lmfao
At the Staten Island ferry is where the action is. One day there, then go to Manhattan.
@@Prymars 😂🤣😅 I feel the same way here in NYC!!
Staten Island is so chill kinda nice, and seems very well kept up. Nice vid A.K. you always do such a great job, Thank You my friend😎
You're welcome! There's always areas like this which are fun to visit!
Thanks for sharing this. Staten Island is a wonderful place. I love it here. The official name is the borough of parks. Unofficially, we’re the forgotten borough. Unfortunately, these court houses never helped me. But I still love it here. And yes, the buildings are beautiful.
Given how swiftly down the gutter New York is going, maybe it’s better to better to be forgotten. It’s a blessing!
Thanku fur stopping by my neighborhood 🤩🙏👍
Damn the nostalgia watching this is crazy miss the old days lived in st mark’s right up the street from where the video started
Staten Island reminds me of New Westminster in British Columbia but with a lot less steep hills to walk up.
Thanks for the information, I will soon be moving from Brooklyn there.
I lived around that area for 4 years, back in the early 2000s, nice to get an update.
Yes, looks nice. I love that area.
So many memories... I grew up in new brighton and Stapleton. Sometimes I miss it. It looks the same.... the ferry terminal looks different tho... I heard they made a lot of changes to the terminal since I left. Cool video.
Haha same I grew up in the Stapleton projects
The ferry terminal is practically unrecognizable from the outside. It’s very different on the inside too, much more modern. No more wooden benches, large fish tanks, but aside from more shopping & fast food, it’s still the ferry terminal.
Very nice walk and it’s great to see borough from outside of Manhattan 👍!!! What also is cool that people seems to know you even on that Staten Island !!!
People know ActionKid wherever the Internet is found.
Thanks, love these videos..
You're welcome!
This video brings me back to my highschool days at mckee nice job brother
I want to mention that there is another ferry route that takes you from st George to the east side of Manhattan all the way to 39th Street, you get there by walking through the empire outlets, great vid as always🙌🙌
West side.
Hiya AK! I haven't been in that part of Staten Island in a while. I love Staten Island. I have friends and family out in Annadale, and other parts of that area. When I was a little kid my dad use to take me for rides on the weekends around the Island. So I know it pretty good. I loved your scooter ride down Hylan Blvd. Lol..
Thanks Mary! Staten Island is a bit out of the way for me to get to, but I still like to revisit every now and then
@Devon Valentino Thankyou Devon..I must have been tired when I typed that. 😊
Thanks for the walk you brought back many memories.
You're welcome!
Lovely video. I felt like I was there in person
since this video they've added a new "fast ferry" right between the outlets and the stadium. gets you to WTC in 15 mins
Born and raised in Corona queens boom! Lived in Brooklyn and the Bronx! Been in Staten Island for last 5 years all good nice and quiet! Mind my business and traverse through the hood! Tell you this Staten Island has the most beautiful parks! Silver lake clove lakes corporal Thompson just to name a few breath taking parks! Staten Island litt! Midland Beach on Staten Island had fire hip hop house music homecoming concert in August off the hook!!
What alot of people don't know about the Boro Hall is there are amazing murals in the building that show the story of Staten Island.
Cool!!
Nice video walking in Staten Island.
I saw The Tubes at The St. George Theater back in the early '80's.
This is the neighborhood I used to live in circa 1986/87. I used to make the walk from 185 St. Marks Place to the ferry and back. I'm flying to New York tomorrow morning for the first time since I left in 1988. This is one of the neighborhoods I will be walking around and reliving my youth!
I go to McKee right around there. Cool to see
wow idk how i missed this one i grew up in this neighborhood .
Staten Island has the best looking Borough Hall of the five boroughs. And yes, it’s cool that SI folks say hi to people passing by. You don’t get that in Manhattan.
Nothing like getting recognized for what you do. I'm next lol
He seems to be recognized by almost everyone who passes by him! That's cool! Staten Island is a very nice place.
nice video!
New sub here STATEN Island is my home .love ur channel
Went to McKee HS back in the 60’s, left the island when I went in the USAF
Thank You, Sir, for Your Service and Sacrifice!!!
Great video of Staten Island action kid I’m from Staten Island
It's interesting how you do your videos.. maybe one day you can give us a breakdown on how you prepare for your videos... like if you do your research of the neighborhood before doing your tour or do you just go off of memory of when you visited these places years ago???
🦋 Very beautiful 🦋
I love Staten Island NY. I missed there a lot.
My old neighborhood. I lived in St. George for 15 years. The court house is the Richmond County Courthouse.
Thanks for clarifying!
The S.I. Children's Museum is on Wall & Stuyvesant. Family Court? Across the street from the S.I. Yankees Stadium on Bay st. and Hamilton Ave.
Down the street has one of the best pizzas in Staten Island :) I lived in Staten Island for 6 years it’s just not what it was will never be what it was. That area is actually a good area.
You sounded tired at the end, AK, hope Ya got some good rest for another day!! 🙂
Your video ended in Tompkinsville. Once you hit Victory Blvd from St. Mark's Pl, you entered Tompkinsville.
@25:39 was the Wu -Tang store location (Blue & Red building) in the mid to late 90s @ 61 Victory Blvd. 👍
This place seems perfect for me
love st George
Wow I just missed driving past you in the beginning of the video by 10-15 minutes
It's hard to imagine that Borough Hall is actually located in this part of Staten Island and yet the area around it is clearly in need of basic, low-level initiative to spruce it up. Borough President James Oddo, have some Staten Island pride and tidy up the place a little bit. You come and go here for days, weeks and months and you can see the need? Especially when it's the first place visitors encounter when they get off the ferry. It should be more inviting and a showcase for the borough.
Staten Island is the New York City's most undeveloped borough. Transportation system is old and no subways, most people living in New York city never set foot in Staten Island even once in their lifetime!
Staten Island also has the highest medium income and everyone has cars. Lol
@@universalhuman8 Was just about to say this. Why waste millions on public transportation when there’s 300,000 cars registered in a borough with a population of under 500,000 people not many people use it lol
@@TrxueReligion exactly! Lol 1+1=3
What is in the area where all the bushes were growing out from? And isn't all that against a city ordinance covering and blocking the sidewalk?
Thank you for sharing this great performance,
My friend👍👍👍like💯😃🌼🌼💖💖
Hi. Do you ever film up in the Bronx and Westchester?
THATS MY HOME LUV IT
Home Team. 🙌🏾
amazing video
Thank you. Are these the steepest hills/roadways of the Burroughs?
Not at all lol lot moreee
Staten Island actually is the highest point of the Eastern Seaboard thanks to Todt Hill.
Please do rosebank next
Is the ferry the only way to The island?
I worked in Staten Island museum and C.s.I.
I was married in that Borough Hall in Dec. of '84 !!
In1976 I moved with my mom from East Harlem to Staten Island of all places. Back then(not sure now) it was very VERY prejudiced. I wanted to go to Curtis High school which was right by the Ferry but they started busing black students like myself to New Dorp high school which is of course in the New Dorp area where blacks and Puerto Rican’s were not welcome. Needless to say it Wasn’t a great experience and transferred out a year later and went to a High school in Manhattan where I was more comfortable . We moved to Far Rockaway Queens 2 years later
I think it’s more diverse now and more people are moving there..looks strange seeing it now I hardly recognize anything except the older buildings. They actually have a mall...awesome. Thanks for stirring up my teenage memories❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ wow Bay Street victory blvd...I remember🙃
You’re hitting my old spots I just saw your East Harlem clip...
Sorry to hear about the bad experiences of your childhood. I like to think it's changed for the better now, and I enjoy the malls
@@ActionKid Yes from what I have seen it looks way better. A couple of years ago I was bored and looked up my old high school and yes ! It was way more diverse❤️ I think more folks are moving o Staten Island because it’s cheaper and way more chill than the other boroughs.
Thank you for all you do
Have a blessed week
At 2:55 we were almost witnesses to a horror . That baby ran out the store while the mother was shopping with her back turned . Kudos to the alert driver who stopped while attempting to turn dead in his tracks when he saw the youngster run out. The older brother ran out a grab him in time . AK and his vid would witness .
I now have a considerably different idea of Staten Island. It's obviously not all slummy tenements as I'd thought.
You must be kidding.Staten Island was a gorgeous place to live.Where the hell did you ever get your info?The area featured in the video where the Borough Hall is has been shitty for over 50 years.
I too know nothing about this Borough but I had the impression the island was a trash dump 🤔
@@MaxxRemKing1couldn't be further from the truth.
Shout out to big brother grabbing little brother.
Go to Parkhill next time. Tell em’ Nilz sent you.
He probably would. Other streamer didn't want to "linger" on Victory Blvd. AK walked and showed it to us. No one ever seems to mention that is the place where the homicide of Eric Garner took place (in front of the beauty parlor) next to Dejoys car service. I would think it is a noteworthy historical event.
@@MWall fact
I am little conflicted about this video. I personally enjoyed many NY kinda look down on me when j told me I live in Staten Island. This video will inspire more ppl to visit which is not good. Lol I really like that area. It’s always quite and pretty peaceful not like Brooklyn of Manhattan.
AK should do a drive thru vid of SI with a couple of his You Tube friends , like he did in LA with Sergio . Lots of territory to cover in SI .
Could be an idea!
@@ActionKid If you ever come back to SI AK. Get off at Dongan Hills and check out Lee's Tavern for a pizza. It is worth the try and is literally a minute from the station on the St. George bound side. Would like to hear your thoughts on it :)
yo that thai restaurant is amazing, check it out

This is a cool watch. I lived just up the block from 1977 to 1982. Didn't like living there at the time, but nice to look back and see the place. Had a bit of a crush on a girl that worked in that deli/store on the corner by the way lol.
It looks like the area has improved since I lived there. I remember around 1981 coming out of McKee high school, which was in your video (around the area where you dropped your phone), and saw that there was a dead kid under a tarp across the street at the playground. On another day, in our apartment building, a downstairs neighbor threw his girlfriend's baby out the window and then stabbed the woman a few dozen times, before he himself jumped out the window. Saw and heard most of it going on because I was home sick from school that day. On the positive side, I remember spending a lot of time looking out my bedroom window, onto the Hudson River watching ships go by, and gazing at the Statue of Liberty and the Manhatten skyline. I was in my early teens but every time I looked out at NYC in the distance, I was so amazed and thankful that I was actually there seeing with my very own eyes the place that just a few years before was more like a myth back at my native country. From playing in the streets of a small city in Hungary, to actually seeing and being part of the greatest city in the world. Really felt like a miracle at that time.
so this is the neighborhood I'm looking at when I peer across the water from Bay Ridge, right?
From Bay Ridge, you would most likely look to the other side of the Narrows, where the Verrazzano spans. The neighborhoods of Rosenank, Grasmere and South Beach are in that area. St George is northwest of those neighborhoods, closer towards Manhattan.
@@crazeyjoe I should have been more specific. I live just a few minutes from the 69th Street pier, and not the Verrazano. I think St. George is what I'm looking at from this part of Bay Ridge :D
@@victorha9923 Yes, around Bay Ridge Ave looking across would be the Tompkinsville/St George area.
@@crazeyjoe 👍sounds like you know the areas of both sides equally well
@@victorha9923 Indeed! I have lived on SI and in Bk!
They tore out all the bushes and benches from that little park down the steps next to boro hall so the addicts would stop sleeping in/on them.
I grew up Mid Island. Thw Northshore def took time to get adjusted to for me. I enjoy it now, but in all fairness this side of the island can be pretty depressing and scary at times. High crime rate, lots of hate for cops, etc. Much different frim the Southshore/Mid Island. Its slowly improving, but as a white lady, I feel alot of hate thrown my way at times. Last month I was called a white bitch and was threatened physical harm because I (very politely) asked an AA woman to let me pass in an isle in a deli. On the bus I hear daily talk about how evil white people are. Etc. That sucks, but what can you do? That dusgusting welfare office plays CNN all day. Its no wonder people are brainwashed. What a world. Anyway, I hope St. George continues to improve both socially and economicaly. We all need to find pride in our communities, and take personal responsibility for our livlihood! God bless!
You sound like you've got an axe to grind with people who don't look like you. Don't put yourself and "your kind" above others because of how they look and where they come from and you'll find that everything will work out okay. Peace!!
Does anybody remember Doctor Atlas?He had his office in Saint George well-known and generous man.If you didn't have money he would treat you anyhow
❤❤❤❤❤
Your walk hit every one of the ugliest, downtrodden streets in St. George with every cheap store and restuarant in the area, ending up not in St. George, but in the commercial drag of Tompkinsville where Eric Garner was murdered by the police. The elegant residential section, the largest part of St. George is a NYC Landmarks district with superb 19th Century architecture, a large campus of a noble high school, beautiful churches, a professional baseball field, waterfront parks and thoroughfares, and all with spectacular views of NY Harbor. You did a great disservice to St. George in this video.
How did he do a disservice? He showed a part of st George. Weather you believe the streets and businesses were ugly or now. It is a part of the island. You sound stupid.
@@ItsJustAriell Yes, he showed a part of St. George, but but ONLY one part. In not including the beautiful parts with the commercial sections, he left the impression that that is all there is to the North Shore of Staten Island to people on UA-cam who have no idea of the place. Now, when they think of St George, all they will know is what ActionKid showed them, not the work of generations of people who worked hard to make St. George a lovely residential place with the most diverse population of any place in NYC. What AK did is called poor video journalism. As to my being stupid, you may be right, but at least my first name isn't Shala which is the obvious diminutive form for Shallow.
@@ItsJustAriell By the way, anyone who doesn't know the difference between "Weather" and "Whether" has forfeited the right to call anyone else stupid. I guess that GED didn't pay off for you after all, did it?
@@danfannon1707 I'm a little confused by your comment because as far as commercial space goes, this is about what I expect from St. George that he showed coming from a native Staten Islander. Are you referring to the Empire Outlets? Because that's not representative of Staten Island at all. To me, EO represents the worst aspects of general NYC gentrification. I have yet to meet a single local that wanted this.
@@dingbat3440 You missed my point. I wasn't saying that AKid missed including the EO as part of the commercial sections of St. George, but rather, that AKid did NOT show ANY of the residential section; the beautiful homes on the hills of the Landmark Historic District, or Curtis High School, or St. Peter's Church, or the waterfront parks that make up TWO-THIRDS of St. George. Showing only the commercial strips which represent only 1/3 of the area (the least attractive section and ending with the mess of stores on Victory Boulevard which is in Tompkinsville, NOT St. George) and ignoring the handsome 2/3 of the area is why he did a disservice. Viewers who have no idea of St. George is or what it looks like will come away from AK's short shrift video thinking that this is all there is to the area.
No, Family Court is not located within the Family Justice Center.
I live on Staten Island on Monroe Avenue
FYI "Wiman" is pronounced " Why man" and St. George is a part of New Brighton
man id love to experience living in nyc at least for a little bit.
It's a dump
I’m thinking about going for a month myself. Love nyc!
I visited NYC (Staten Island) for two months last summer and loved it. I can't say the same for the rest of NYC. Very dirty and overly populated.
It’s really not that exciting it boring.
Not ghetto St. George though lol!
👍
I lived all my life no more lots fun there growing there
I live on Staten island over by Wagner college
What are those kind of French flags on official buildings ?
City of New York flag. Colors (white, blue, orange) are from when the area was New Netherlands. Both the NY Mets and the Staten Island Ferry use the orange-blue combo for the same reason.
Would love to meet you one day pal....
The downtown north shore was experiencing a renaissance for the last 10 years with so much hope for the future. But thanks to our a-hole mayor , between the homeless shelter that is coming and the hand cuffing of the police - all of the neighborhood vermin is now walking around pounding their chests and going back to their animalistic ways ! As a building owner , I am so frustrated ! A real shame !!
Empire outlets used to be public land, 18 acres now gone forever.
That's the Supreme Court
