Informative.
Where would be the best location to "bump into you"? Would be cool. 😎
Yeah
@HereBeBarr, have you ever considered visiting Toronto?
I don't know if it is the music or the way you lay your information, but nothing feels like a NYC Sunday afternoon like your videos man, keep up the good work ...
It’s the chill hop beat every time . I’m a bit obsessed w those tracks on epidemic sound.
Transit Museum is now on the list....thank you. I can totally see myself geek out there.
:)
As a native New Yorker for 30+ years, I loved going to the Transit Museum on school field trips as a kid.
I've never been so early! Love your channel. Planning another trip and October and your stuff is always so helpful. Thanks Jon!
I'm loving this content. I must say your video is really informative and edited very well. I'm actually going to be visiting NYC soon. I definitely appreciate you mentioning Bathtube Gin as it was one of my favorite finds the last time I visited NYC. Keep up with the great video content.
thanks a lot, such a great and interesting ideas¡¡¡ I take note for my future trip ;- ) your videos are great¡¡¡
Now this is exactly what I want to do when I visit!! Thank you for this
Hopefully I get to run into ya I’d love to meet you guys ! 🗽🎠🌉
This is the best channel. Literally been spending hours watching your videos over the last week.
Hi Jon, I love your channel.
I am going to new york at Christmas with my husband and daughter, I am so excited!
And again, great tips John. Bravo!
Great vlog as always. Being a Manhattanite myself I love the new stuff you highlight that I didn't even know about in some cases. I'll just add one of my favorite new places as of the last few months is an amazing intimate craft cocktail bar called The Owls Tail on W 75th across from the Beacon Theater. Not only has outta this world cocktails & ambiance but they have a staff that is consistently putting forth 101% service & hospitality. If you guys find yourself in the UWS one evening I highly recommend checking it out.
Excellent video! I love learning about places off the beaten path.
Great video! Congratulations from Brazil
Thankyou for making videos like this buddy you help me a lot in nyc once again thankyou so much ❤️
Fantastic channel. I'm planning my first visit for my birthday in January, so will visit a speak easy ...and pretty much everything else.
The Cloisters museum in Fort Tryon Park in Washington Heights..
Great place to go.. I lived on Ellwood St for a while and loved it.
Sure is !
I live on Arden St ( can't say i love it, but the rents are cheap)..
Looks like a 4th trip to NYC is in order to see some of these places :) Thanks as always Jon, you're awesome
Great video. So much interesting stuff to see
I absolutely love the Transit Museum. I went for the first time last year and I want to hit it again for their new displays. I wanted to go this year, but it didn't pan out. However, since I am a NYTM member, I am finally getting a tour of the original City Hall Station. Very excited. Believe it or not, this was my first year visiting Central Park. I had to go there twice just to get through the whole Park. Loved it. Fort Tryon Park looks like will be on my list of things to see next summer. 😉
Great channel! Loving your videos.
Randomly clicked on this from my recommended and just realised how early I am 😂 I’m obsessed with these videos!
Excellent video once again sir
Cheers for the tips john!
Oh my gosh the graffiti and art work pieces are gorgeous! Wow there are some wonderful places to visit there I love them all. Thank you for sharing these with us. Love the Jackson heights foods 😍
:)
Take the L train to Jefferson Ave, Brooklyn ( Bushwick) and that's where you can begin walking around viewing graffiti art...
Dude, you really put in the work. Such a great channel!
Great video. The Cloisters is on my bucket list for Fall.
Yesss the Dosa Cart! Thiru is a great guy
I was VERY happy to see you opened this video with a description of Fort Tryon Park! It really spectacular and most New Yorkers don't even know about it. You didn't mention that it was also the sight of an extremely important battle in the American Revolution. It's the best spot to spend a beautiful Spring day in NYC!
Planning on hitting Fort Tryon on our upcoming visit. Thank you so much for all of your videos suggestions and tips!
Thank you! I will try these things on my next trip.
I'm a NYer... (non transplant)... And I love this video. Good shit my guy.
Streetart in Bushwick is really amazing, love it!
Nice video! I'd also add in the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx zoo to the list
These are such great things to do!! I want to come to NY NOW!!!
I can't wait to try these out!!
I'm coming to New York (from Dundee, Scotland) for my honeymoon in March next year, I'd love to go to the community gardens and secret bars for a non-city chill out day. Great vids 😁
Walking the Manhattan bridge is also a nice experience.
A speak-easy bar I've tried is Beauty&Essex, behind a pawn shop, in LES.
I've been wanting to try the street food in queens since I saw that video.
Awesome videos, very informative, keep up the good work 🙂
Yes I have to walk the Manhattan bridge for sure . And I’ve been to beauty and the Essex . Champagne in the women’s room 😂
You did a great job with this video - many are what we do often as locals!
Thanks Greg, means a lot.
Gaff Tours! Thanks for the tip!
Walking the Williamsburg Bridge is another great choice! Would recommend the Manhattan Bridge for the same reason with a separate lane for bikes
Yeah I was stuck between the two.
Love the Cloisters and surrounding park. Be sure to bring picnic food, as the restaurant in the Cloisters is a bit pricey. I’d also recommend the Queens County Farm Museum.
My wife was at Sloan- Kettering Hospital for cancer treatment about two and a half years ago. As a teacher, I was able to bring our sons for the summer, and we stayed with friends in Forest Hills (another great neighborhood). Sadly, my wife lost her battle, but I have taken the boys back since. As a family, and even before the kids, we’ve visited New York at least 25 times during all seasons. It’s one of our favorite spots.
I’m coming to New York from the UK next week, I’ll be sure to check some of these out, especially the food in Queens!
Michael Z you should go to DUMBO also. 😉
Actually, I've done and loved the Transit Museum. Great for crowd-avoiders like me. Also the Brooklyn Museum - they have Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, an awe-inspiring work.
This is a great one. I’ve been looking for places to visit for when family or friends have come in the fourth or fifth time to New York and want to see things and this fits the bill!
Great tips...May i add to take the M 4 Bus , which runs along Madison Ave, up through Harlem into Washington Heights and stops directly in front of the Cloisters Museum within Ft Tryon Park. Within Inwood Hill Park, a few blocks north, is the site where Peter Minuit "purchased" Manhatta from the Lenape-Algonquin Native American Indians and is adjacent to Columbia University's Football Field at 218th St off Broadway.
Always good to find places that tourists or even the locals don’t know about 👍👍👍
Great video!
Have an upcoming trip soon to NY. And as a traveller I try to avoid the touristy activities and visit hidden gems. It's even more charming too be honest. Keep up the awesome videos mate. You've earned a subscriber and a like. When I'm in NY, we can catch up hopefully :)
Bonjour Jon....Ooooooh woooow....merci pour cette merveilleuse promenade dans " Tryon Park" incroyable quand on pense que l on est dans une ville aussi trépidante que New York.....le marché de nuit.. exceptionnel.....merci....merci Jon...Bonjour å la belle Adriana 💖
.. you've become like the one stop NY guide for me.. I live in long island and hardly get to come to the queens or the city but your videos def help me to flaunt the knowledge whenever needed 😆 .. they are so simple and understandable...no unnecessary recommendations...n I have a celebrity like crush on Adrianna! 😍🤫 .. my go to places' list in NY is just increasing!! ..🙈 n I'm really thinking of becoming a patreon only to help you to continue the great work you are doing !🙌🏼
Thanks 🙏🏻
I am so grateful for all your videos, really helpful and love the vibe you transmit but there is something you have missed and haven’t seen in other channels like the one of Sara Funky.
The NY Yankees, Giants and US Open, I have already planned and go to the 2 first ones but I have really need help on knowing about things and advices for US Open.
I love your videos, make home sick. Now living in Oahu, I'm a NY native born and raised in Stuyvesant Town. On my next visit I'll consider your recommendations especially the museums and foods. Thanx, go Yanx!
You are so good!!!
Great video
Step off the eaten path! Thanks for the shout-out!! 🙏
Any time
Amazing vid once again! Love your content as always! I think I’m gonna try one or two more of these things next time I’m in the city. Speaking of, the Williamsburg bridge is actually pretty easy to climb as well but ya know I guess I can’t recommend that for everyone who watches this lol -your boy @dnf.n from Instagram
Thanks, really cool...
When in Philadelphia, the mutter museum of medical oddities is a sure conversation starter over drinks afterwards.
Love Mauritius omgggg thank you so much I have to go and get me some Mauritian food!
Great info
Thanks #HereBeBarr
Brilliant. Just arrived.
Used to live on Ft. Washington Ave. right next to the entrance of Ft. Tryon Park (and the 190th St. stop on the A). You're right, very underappreciated.
Wow - 2015 I visited NYC the First Time - and i walked the Brooklyn and the williamsburg as well.
And to be honest - I enjoyed the WBB more.
Im September I come back to nyc and I will remember some tipps from your videos.
__Greetz from 🇩🇪
This is what I been looking for. I wanna go off the beaten path in NYC rather then the tourist spots. Thanks for the video!
Thanks i try to mix it up.
@@HereBeBarr you did a great job. The only place I visited from the list is the NY Transit museum. Next time I go back I'll try the rest of those places.
Very nice
Coming in two days...heading to the Tenement Museum but also now want to hit the East Village & the gardens.
Yes! Native NY’er but I live in Florida now. Born in Brooklyn so I definitely need to visit other areas again. I visit a couple times a year but I always stay in Manhattan near Times Square. Although I’m a cheesy tourist at heart - I need to get back to the real NY from time to time. I’m definitely checking out these places next time I come up.
Going to NYC for the first time. Have the Transit Museum on my list as a must do. Also the Tenement Museum as well.
I need to visit the tenement museum
Here Be Barr I have found your videos to be a great help in planning my trip to NYC, along with those of ActionKid and the TraveliingClatt. Visiting with my wife for 8 nights in December. As it is our first time in NYC we will be doing all the touristy bits such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Times Square and the observation decks of Empire State Building, Top of the Rock and World Trade Center. Got lots of other stuff planned and will be doing a few trips to Brooklyn.
Thanks for this. Later this month I’m coming back for my third visit in two years, and I’m definitely interested in non-touristy stuff. Williamsburg Bridge is a definite must-do for me.
Why not add the George Washington Bridge to your list of things to do.. Just take the A train and get off at 175th St...you can walk over to the New Jersey side and back...
Awesome UA-cam video
Since I’ll be staying in BK in December, I’m definitely going to check out the transit museum
Gday luv
Best food in the city Jackson Heights..
Take The 7 train E F R train to 74 street and walk
Yummy
Don't forget the feast of San Dennaro Little Italy.one of the best!
Little known fact. Washington Square Park
Charlie Barnett used to perform there when he was a teenager YEP
Oh yeah the Queens Night Market is where it’s at!! Malaysian burger, Mauritian food and Moon Man - all M’s and all delicious!
:) You sold me hahaha.
Wow thanks
i'll be in NYC this weekend and was wondering what's in upper manhattan...i'll definitely check out that park
Also check out Highbridge Park , the oldest bridge in NYC...
My favourite non-touristy destination: the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx.
Ha, going to Fort Tryon soon. My high school buddy and his Dominican wife used to live there and he also told us to go.
Yes...you can either take the A train to 190th St , up the stairs to the elevator and make a right on Ft Washington Ave directly through Heather Gardens to the Cloisters...OR take the M4 Bus along Madison Ave and it's last stop is directly in front of the Cloisters Museum...
Fort Tryon - great choice!
Thanks !!
There's a sign in Heather Gardens which reads " Let no one say and say it to your shame, that all was beauty here until you came"..
Thanks Jon.
You're welcome
That graffiti class would be fun to take
Yah I was way better than I thought
If I had stayed just with the touristy things of New York I think I wouldn’t love it like I do!
;)
You REALLY need to do a Best Chicken Wings in NYC video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video! I am visiting NYC next month! thank you
* The chilean completo doesn't like one, I am from Chile
hahahaha.
Ya here be barr
What about tips for clothing/accessory needs when visiting new work during winter and new years?
NY Transit Museum is our last NYC stop before heading home. Three hours devoted just to it.
Barr querido, hablando de museos off, has visitado el Noguchi Museum en Queens? Una joya como los Cloisters pero mas moderno. Ahi tienes para hacer todo un nuevo video comenzando desde ese lado te bajas en court square station, vas a ver las vistas de manhattan desde el Gantry Park al sur y caminando hacia el norte hasta el museo, puedes terminar la tarde en el Socrates sculpture park. You can thank me later if you haven't gone yet. Regards
I was about to kick myself for not knowing about the Queens Night Market since i was out there last weekend for the US Open. But after doing research, don't feel bad anymore since it was not open then. However, I will have to look this place up next time I'm in town.
ignore that over-crowded and silly brooklyn bridge, take the manhattan bridge instead. also get up to washington heights and cross into new jersey on the gee-dub.
Bushwick will be on my next visit
Good morning from here
I am visiting NYC next month (December), any idea what best to do in winter time ?
Do you have a video on best "busking spots" ?
Lol nope. As far as finding people or doing it yourself. Washington Square is a great place to watch performers.
Bengali fuchka now I am a life long fan !!
Amizing
WaSquaPa is the best!
At 1:02 is that also the towers of the Verrazano?
Hi 👋 thanks for another great video. I know this isn't one of your foody videos but I have been wondering if being a vegetarian will I still be able to eat from a street food cart in NYC? I've always wanted to do this but I can't eat the classic hot dog 🤔. I know there are plenty of diverse food restaurants but not sure on street carts? Thanks in advance 🙂
Yes you can :) Falafel all sorts of stuff.. not really my expertise.. I did the Fuschka truck in my Queens Street Food video that may interest you :)
@@HereBeBarrjust watched and it looks good! Thanks for replying so quickly 👍. Genuinely stupidly excited now and less than a month to go 😁.
Nice Video again #läuft
