m
Where's the second video?!?
Attaché u
you forgot that JFK also has the AirTrain to Howard Beach for the (A) Train and also to Jamaica Center to (E) (J) & (Z) Trains and LIRR (Long Island Railroad) to Manhattan, it pays living in NYC since 2002
Almost three years after we still did not get the episode about the greater New York area. We have not forgotten Alex.
I'm already *looking for my pitchfork* again.
We want our episodes!
Well theres an episode on queens now
Where are u from
It’s almost like travelling is not possible due to… that thing.
If your going to be in new York for a week and taking public transportation buy a weekly unlimited it's cheaper I feel like no tourist knows this.
Good shout, thanks
I always get the weekly ticket when I'm visiting from Eire
Tourists know this, is about $33 and last one week!
I'm an unknown songwriter trying to introduce people to my music...since u like New York, I thought u might like this song I wrote about Christmas in New York. Would love to get ur reaction to it if u get to listen..Thanks for ur time and happy holidays... soundcloud.com/jordonrothstein/a-christmas-gift-from-new-york-featuring-michael-cunio
thank u so much for listening and the suggestion about spreading out words...happy u like what u heard and hope u get to hear some more of my work if u have an interest...all the best! @Popeyes
This guy is very likable
Farhad S ,yes thats right!
Very gay
First night in NY, went to the recommended pizza place in this video. Great suggestion and NYC was amazing!
I live here, this is what we do; land at LGA, go outside, find the machine, buy a metrocard---in front of machine the Q70 bus comes, you go to the 7 Train in 10 minutes---enter 7 station, swipe the same card for free transfer, go up stairs to 7. Get on to Manhattan, arrive in 30 minutes. The 7 goes under East River tunnel, you come up under 42nd street. The third stop in is Times Square. All for $ 2.75. The 7 is the most ethnically mixed ride in the world, enjoy the languages.
Rick Renner is the bus free then? You only have to pay for metro card?
you need to get a ticket for the bus from another machine but you use the metro card.
Anna Gibbons the bus is the same fare. if you get on the subway first and then get out and need to take a bus, it's a transfer and aren't charged. The same from bus to subway. However, any more additional rides, after the transfer, you will be charged again the $2.75.
Same! I was hoping this method would be mentioned in the episode!
OR TAKE THE M60 directly from LaGuardia to Manhattan -- Harlem and the Upper West Side in one quick ride.
There is something special about New York City that you don't find in any other cities in the world, definitely a city that someone MUST VISIT
LOVE how you showed where you were on the map -- so often other vloggers show areas like Chelsea, Soho, the Lower East Side, the Upper West Side, etc., but we non-New Yorkers like to be able to actually pinpoint where the subject area is on the map of NYC!! Helps us New York-o-philes a LOT!! Love the information you share here, extremely helpful, thank you!
This channel is criminally underrated. Can’t stop watching.
"let serendipity take you by the hand and lead you on a new york adventure." one of the great quotes. not entirely convinced the basic new york pizza slice tastes anything better than biting into cardboard. that said, joe's pizza does an amazing pepperoni slice. have loved every minute of being here. it will forever be remembered for so many "what the hell" moments.
Thanks so much, glad you like that line. I love NYC so much - I've been there dozens of time and still have an adventure every time I'm there.
His personality is crusty and gritty but at the same time it is quite charming and I really love watching his wit and humor. But the balance between professionalism and intimacy is just right and I think he shows the essence of the city he is guiding us through. Awesome Job!!!
This show is so underrated
I agree. I was watching the Singapore one for my next trip and ended up doing others :D
Anthony Kernich I also watched the Singapore one first.
I’m blessed to have born and raised in the boroughs before I moved out to Long Island in the middle of my childhood. Still love going in. I can drive into Long Island City in about 40 minutes in good traffic, jump on the 7 line and be in Times Square in about 10 minutes. Absolutely love NYC!
Wow, I love New York. This video inspired me want to visit New York one day. I'm living in Melbourne ( Australia )
Heyy same, Perth though
love how much of an emphasis you made on how important tipping is, and that doesn't only apply to NYC
Visited NYC last week. Best city on earth. I can't wait to go back 😍
jfk 7890 same
@WARLORD op they drive from there to wall street?????
@WARLORD op as if u would ride a shitty subway as an investment banker, and driving is longer coz of traffic
@WARLORD op ok bro i wasn't denying it I was questioning why they'd bother
I love new york so much. I'm from Australia and have been there twice and every time I think of going back I get so excited
Just one small correction: cars actually are not allowed to turn right on a red light in NYC
IT MAKES ABSOLUTE SENSE IN SUCH A BIG CITY. In Eugene, Ore. you can turn left on a red light on a one way street and right on red when safe.
Thank you! That was bugging me too. Not only Manhattan but all 5 boroughs. I have seen drivers from out of state get out of their cars to try to stop pedestrians so they can turn right on red. One of the biggest dangers to cyclists in NYC.
Tf are you talking about yes we are allowed to turn on red. But we don’t because we can’t the pedestrian has the right a way. But we’re allow to turn on red.
Turning right on red anywhere in the 5 boroughs is 100% illegal.
No it is not. the only time it is illegal is if you turn right on red where it says no turn on red and when pedestrian are crossing. stop giving people fake news.
Alex - I work in the travel industry in New Zealand and have been recommending your site to friends and colleagues. You are entertaining, informative and the video is really well presented. Many thanks for putting this all together!
Brilliant! Absolutely love NYC, been twice, Love the people, food, architecture.. The lot. Best city in the world
New York is a shit hole.
+TissDiss where you live then ya helmet!
+Pablo Murph New York. Greatest city on earth
Where are you from?

Williamsburg , forest hills , flushing , Jackson heights - a neighborhood in each borough I love park slopes especially my dream home
See? You get someone who just got to the city to make a youtube video and you learn things about your own city you didn't know. Like this bit about cars being able to make right turns on red lights. I've been in New York all my life and didn't know this. You learn something every day.
Great video, thank you. I'm a fan of your helpful points of view and glad you've made it to my home city. I have a correction: no right on red, ever. In all 5 boroughs (Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island) drivers are not allowed to turn right during a red light. (That doesn't mean it's strictly enforced.) And if you're walking all bets are off.
Fellow fans and NYC travelers: Johnny T's NYC Tourist Tips is also a helpful video. The advice in it is spot on from us who live here. Kindly keep out of the way of the steady flow of foot traffic, especially during rush hour.
My recommendations:
Central Park is a must. The corner of East 59th Street & 5th Avenue is one of the best crossroads in the world. It's the horse-and-carriage corner of the park, across the street is the Plaza hotel, catty corner is the Apple Store (the one that is a glass cube). To the north on 5th Avenue, you have Museum Mile with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim, and many others. To the south on 5th Avenue, you have Tiffany's, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Rockefeller Center.
Do not rent a car here. First of all, you're going to get killed in rental and parking charges (plus tax). Secondly, the average is 6.5 mph (10.4 km/h) driving in Manhattan. Use your smart phone to get subway directions, or just walk.
Enjoy and Thank you
In some areas you can make a right turn at a red light if it is posted that you can do so.. But he made it seem that a right turn can be made at every red light and that`s certainly not the case!
Rewatching this episode and makes me want to visit New York again! Love New York!
Been here for almost 10 yrs now. Just watching for you, buddy.
Ive been to New York so many times and there is so much of the City ive yet to explore. you've touched on basically what ive already done but there was still so much helpful information. There is a certain magic about New York.
NYC is an extraordinary place, we love it.
Love the longer video! You are just plain entertaining. First time to NY, my family and I road the subway and it was fine. Pretty easy to follow. I was just waiting for you to eat that pizza!
I agree, it's the side streets, hole in the walls, and the little things that make NYC an amazing city.
Now I've seen this episode 53rd time . in love with this city.
Went last year in October 2016 and I'm going again next month. I had a great time seeing all touristy stuff last year, but this is great to know some of the lesser known stuff for when I go again. The city is fantastic, even on a crummy day as you said. It rained every day I was there until the day I left and I still had a blast. Thanks for all the good suggestions and advice about the city!
This is a wonderful guide!! I live in rural America and the thought of traveling to such a huge city is overwhelming. But while it may seem mundane just telling us about metro cards, where to buy them and the average costs of transportation. That is something amazingly helpful for someone who has never had anything but their own car to jump into and cruise a good 80 miles to reach the nearest JCPenny's LOL!
It's actually more expensive and much more of a hassle having a car in NYC than do just walk/take the train. I actually prefer a city where a car isn't necessarily needed.
Loved that you guys played The Ramones in this video!
I love how passionate you are about tipping. I'm exactly the same. Also, that close-out with Simon and Garfunkle 👍
Thanks for the lovely vid and tips! I’m in New York in 3 weeks and I’m getting super excited about it! That pizza 🍕 looks so yummy...woop woop 🙌🏼
Come to New York in winter times, preferably around Christmas time to experience New York at its best. Summertime can really be disgusting and frustrating.
ARVIN It's too cold to go to NYC in the winter.
***** And its hot in the summer.
ARVIN I'm going this New Years, but I went in the summertime a few years back. I just remember it smelling awful and being dreadfully hot.
Cara Carr Yea it is awful during Summer times. I live in NYC and i always look forward to winter time. During winter time you get this romantic NYC feel, when everyone is dressed up in beautiful coats, when the streets are cozy, the lights are warming and the atmosphere just right. You would see lights shows, window displays, and ice skating!
That sounds exactly as I picture it, I can't wait 😊
Thanks so much for this, did my first visit to New York recently and this was my bible, Pizza Suprema....Yesss!!
I grew up in NYC, I love this place. I now live in upstate NY, beautiful! New York State is huge. Come and enjoy the city but include NYS in your trip. Mountains, trees, lakes, rivers, quaint towns and so much to do!
I guess this video is around a year old so... whoops on my part. But I just have to let people know of bagels with lox since you didn't mention it. If you're at a bagel shop seriously consider it, every shop will have it. It's more substantial than a bagel for breakfast and it's really more of a sandwich. For me it's the best way to get a bagel, hands down.
Lox is salmon, and when served on a bagel should come with cream cheese, capers, and red onion at a minimum. It might sound odd if you haven't had fish dairy and capers in one place, but I promise it's amazing. A quintessential NYC staple.
Hell. Yes. Love me some bagel and lox.
The best and most honest guide to New York I have seen !!!!
I'm going to Amsterdam in a few weeks and just watched that video. I live in NYC, I watched this video to see how accurate you were. A couple of minor errors but, overall, good job. You just got a new subscriber.
If you're doing the tourist thing, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a must see plus you get the additional bonus of a three-day pass to all the museums that are run by the Met such as the Cloisters, which is a particular favorite of mine. Essentially this means one full day at the Met with two more to see the other stuff. Be aware that the price is by suggested donation for New Yorkers and $25 for everyone else, but that's still a great deal since 1) the Met is one of the greatest museums of art in the world (plus you don't have to wait an hour or more to get in for same-day tickets), and 2) you get the other museums in the system as add-on. Also visit the Main Branch of the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue; it's a veritable temple of learning and the architecture is fantastic.
DON'T FORGET that NYC is not only Manhattan , you have Queens , Brooklyn , Bronx , Staten Island . And there are many things to see in these boroughs also , especially Brooklyn and Queens.
ciel222 yeah but they’re shit! (I live in Queens)
Big Gargantuar Queens is not shit. Where in Queens do you live?
i agree. lets do a tour video of brownsville
Skip Staten Island though
NYC is just an amazing city to be in with its full positive vibes and most all the loving American people who know whats best.
My wife and I are going to NYC in August (our first trip, although I went there so far back (without proper resources) it doesn't really count) and then in September we're going back to Mexico City for a second time, after enjoying a week there over the holidays 2017/2018. I expect both cities to have pluses and minuses. We're from the Los Angeles area, so we have that as a lifelong benchmark, both good and bad. I will be particularly interested in two things, since culture and food are wonderful in both places (and, yes, Californians largely do NOT know what good pizza tastes like): 1. Convenience of public transportation and 2. Cost-per-benefit ratio. My own personal experience with public trans (largely the metro/subway system) for Los Angeles is F, for Chicago it's a B, and for CDMX, Buenos Aires and Santiago, Chile it's an A. Plus, in Mexico City, you can go ANYWHERE for five or six pesos! That's 25 to 30 cents, USD. Simple, affordable, and it gets around a city which probably is slightly bigger than NYC. The other thing is food. Quality of food is probably equal (as a Californian, I am absolutely DYING to try authentic NY pizza (having a taste for it in Connecticut/Mass./Upstate NY). But so far, my favorite food in all the world is CDMX genuine street/sidewalk food. There is no froo-froo involved: fresh ingredients, purchased at a nearby market, no preservatives, no tricks, no hidden ingredients, all prepared while you watch (and not too long!), friendly neighbors offering a chair or a tip, and a genuine, almost family atmosphere, for ALWAYS less than $5, usually even less. It's hard to beat, and it's addictive. Who knew you could do so much with fresh produce and a little fresh chicken, pork or beef? Still, I am excited by our late-summer visit to NYC and exploring just a few of its highlights (we will have tix to a game at Yankee Stadium), but especially the off-the-beaten track places, like we did in CDMX and Buenos Aires. We find that back streets are the places where you really discover the culture and the people. Geez. I'm long-winded about this. Sorry.
Dec ‘25 will be our 3rd time to NYC, and this video is always our ‘Go To’ just like any other Attaché vid.
"be cool & tip" amen dude.
The Ramones are playing in SO MUCH OF THIS VIDEO!!!! GREAT CHOICE of music!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this video, I thoroughly enjoyed it, unable to travel right now, but I enjoy going on trips with these great videos!
Me too.
I've been watching a lot of videos about NY but this one is really good! Thanks!
the amount of times i’ve watched this video in preparation for my NY trip is unhealthy lmao
sameee is going there for a school field trip
Getting butterflies,or just become sick?
@@elcabezon5487 same here. I'm nervous to just think about it. And I'm going solo February next year. This is my first time.
@@jenniferlorence185 it was awesome. I was there last year and I've had the time of my life. I've had so much fun, I hope I can go back one day.
Truly an incredible city.
This is literally THE BEST travel show on UA-cam I have seen to this point. I immediately subscribed. You are amazing!
Cape Fear Family Law check out nyc on our page
@@worldtour3892 I'll look now since I am traveling there next month.

Highly recommend to go to flushing in queens. Theres the flushing meadows park, with a zoo, pool, farm, and museum inside. Its also connected to a botanical garden
The look when you ate the pizza slice at that first place said it all 😂
Truly well done! Most often these guides are a bore, but yours is helpful and entertaining. Keep up the great work!
going in a few months. can't wait
you can't leave me alone (T . T)
Huh?
i wanna go to NYC too
Oh lol
i swear to god if i made to NYC i aint going back home
I'm visiting New York next year and I'm so excited! Wish you had talked about the different seasons and more places to shop. But is a very good episode! Thanks for the amazing work! 👏🏼👏🏼

Love this video! Best one I've seen about New York!
THE best video I have ever seen on visiting New York!
Me and my partner will be there in September, for the first time.
You have given me some great tips, thank you!
I am very happy I live 20 min from the city.
+Revo Red Where do you live?
+Revo Red same
I live 40 min
I live in Belarus, dudes :'((
I live in Europe... zzZZZzzZZZzz
Manhattan is a nightmare to drive in but honestly it works. Makes you use other means. I fucking loved how I could just leave the hotel, get into a subway, ride to anywhere like the mall near the WTC, eat at a beautiful deli near the water separating you from New Jersey, take a walk and see people from all around the world and amazing sights and smells. Man it's amazing and it never ends. Times square is always energetic even at 2am.
My heart is in California but man New York is special.
Gentleman whenever you do the Queens episode, hit me up.
I'll show you what a real deli, pizza, and NY experience is.
Thanks for a great show. Took a vacation to NY and had a great time, and were quite ready to go explore the big city after watching this video more then a few times 😂 we mixed it a little up with turisty stuff a lot of walking around to find the small places. Keep the videos comming. Love from Denmark
bless that I live 15 mins from the city
One of the best NYC guides, hands down!
Actually super helpful and not cliche, also come to New Orleans!
I've lived there for 6 years and I believe Fall is the best time to visit NYC!
Telling the taxi driver to take you to Avenue of Americas is the best way to mark yourself out as a non-New Yorker. And you aren't allowed to turn right on a red light in NYC (unless there is a sign that says that you are allowed to do so).
Yeah I winced when I said Avenue of the Americas.
The red light rule doesn't seem to stop taxi drivers lol.
Avenue of the Americas=6th Ave
Its 6th Ave or no Ave lmao
Wow, this is very helpful... I'm headed to NYC for my first visit ever and I've been looking for the 'courage' to venture out of my comfort zone.
It is actually illegal to turn right on a red light in New York City, for anyone any new drivers or tourists to the city.
But how often people actually follow the rule? I need to know because I don't wanna get honked from behind.
One of the best travel blogger. keep doing what you'll do
Good vlog Bruh ! Wish I'll travel all these beautiful cities soon
I cannot believe that as much as I travel to NYC, I just now found this video! It's so great! I love that the first time you smile is when you say "ass."
I am going in April 2017, I enjoyed your presentation on New York.
Enjoy it! It's an incredible city.
yyA
Just a little planning heads up, make sure you know where you're parking/eating! Also, if you're going to the Bronx- don't.
same over here
Charlda Wilkinson Good luck! And have a great time at the Big Apple :)
My tip for Manhatten would be to talk to people. Do not be afraid if your lost to ask a New Yorker for directions or if your on the right path. They are pretty friendly but just busy. Don’t forget shopping In SoHo either, really awesome!
I went to New York in the summer and I agree with certain people that the climate is kind of gross with it being super humid and not to mention polluted, and this is coming from someone who is from in and outside London which also has a very polluted and humid climate. New York however was on a whole other level during the summer.
That being said, I think it is worth making a trip in the summer just to go to Coney Island in Brooklyn.
I think it's worth experiencing New York in both the summer and the winter.
lwotton94 Never visit NYC in the summer or winter. The weather is horrible. Best time is Fall . The weather is gorgeous
I highly respect the way you present information. I have watched a few of your videos. Thanks to you, I made a trip to Budapest. Thank you for giving us insightful information and for the great quality videos.
8:13 This is wrong...Right turn on Red signal is illegal in all 5 Boros of New York City. It's also strictly enforced.
This deserves double like. Very informative for someone who's never been to America
*DO NOT TURN RIGHT ON RED LIGHTS* NY state and some parts of the city (queens brookly and bronx) you are able to turn right ONLY where you have sign. manhattan due to the heavy traffic this signs are nonexisting. and the only area where you can turn right without a sign will be on Long Island, upstate or new jersey. So, just do not turn right on red.
Finally, a New York video that is actually HELPFUL! Thank you! Subscribed!
That was an awesome guide guys!
Thanks!
Ahmed Nizam hy
That was very informative. Thank you. Got 4 days in NY to explore on my own in about a week. I am really looking forward to the experience.
that intro. so fire
Humble, funny & very informative. I love this guy
Thanks so much!
As a native New Yorker, born and raised in the city "Manhattan," I thought this was a pretty good introductory video however the segment about pizza made me nauseous. Once he said he's from New Jersey and so on, it was hard to continue. Here's a tip - Want a good slice checkout Patsy's in Harlem, Rizzo's downtown, or John's on Bleecker.
My man...speaks truth
I was in NYC in April 2014. I had the time of my life.
It’s my dream to go here❤️❤️
I Live in Toronto. I visited New York 10 times since 2014. I should have started earlier. This is a great video and very informative. Just go, at least once. Do exactly what he said, visit Time Square for about an hour and then discover the city and the Boroughs. Do Jersey too, especial Hoboken.
I love NYC! Will be there for a week Christmas 2017. Can't wait!!!
You'll love it!
America is heaven on earth. I am coming there in 2020 new year.
Tipping it is a way that the employer has found not to pay correctly the employes. But to put the burden to the client!
They'd just raise the prices if they had to pay minimum wage per hour to restaurant staff. This way, more goes to the staff and less to the owner.
@3.1M views Yes you tip, that;s how it works in New York. You also get great service for the most part. Considering 90% of all restaurants go out of business there first year, don't question tipping, if you can not afford it, fast food is a good option.
@@schoolnyc That's a stupid mentallity... Tipping shouldn't be mandatory, like others said, that's a way for greedy employers to stack more money. Shameful.
If I don't want to tip, I will not. I don't want anyone forcing me to do so, I don't care if it is your 'culture' or not.
that is the only way they can make good money // actual wage is low for them
your so under rated!!! your the bestest guide ever!!!
THe most amazing city in t he world! It would take you a life time to see everything in this city. Maybe not even in a lifetime.
Amazing, I just loved the way how you explained about this city, now I thing I’m ready to go there. Just got a new subscriber
Useful information. Will get there someday
It's a wonderful city, one of my favourites.
I’m going there tomorrow. Can’t wait to eat the pizza
Do not come to the US and expect not to ever tip the waitstaff, don't be that asshole tourist. Being an American I find tipping to be an outdated method (restaurants should pay them a decent amount. It is silly for them to rely on consumers to pay for their living expenses) but I do not take that out on them by revengefully not tipping when the service is good, if it's bad then don't. We understand a lot of other countries do not do this, but we do.
If you just don't want to tip then don't go to any sit-down meals. (Hell, my husband doesn't like tipping the workers at Sonic so we pull in a carspot, see what we want on the menu then head to the drive thru and order.)
Well said.
xyzzyx xyzzyx Are you from the United States? Do you know that the average waiter or waitress makes about $2 an hour? They rely on those tips and when you DON'T tip because you don't believe it's your responsibility to pay and that it's "extotion" your meal is costing them money since they have to tip the other people involved in giving you a good meal and service. They have to tip the bus boy that clears your plates and the bartender that mixed your drink. Sometimes after working a 40 hour week their pay checks are less than $100 because they have to declare their tips and if they get tipped on a credit card, they have to pay taxes on that. I don't know what your profession is, but I'm sure as hell you wouldn't want someone to undercut your pay because they think that it's not worth it. God, I hope everyone that serves you spits in your food.
Nicole Musich I think this person was saying the opposite
Read carefully. This person is not asking people not to tip...
IMO tipping is part of our culture here in the US. Maybe the rest of the world doesn’t understand but they should respect our culture when they come and visit the US. Having traveled overseas for more than 20 years I respect others cultures when visiting different countries and also follow them (ie in Europe you sometimes have to pay extra for eating at a table then take out). For me tipping is only a few extra dollars to add to the bill . I usually pay 20% so a 40 dollar bill I would just add 8 dollars tip. I don’t work in the service industry but majority of people ive encountered in restaurants and hotels work very hard.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GUIDE. I'm headed to NJ first for a friend's wedding and I would never have known there's a train directly from Newark to Manhattan, for $12.50 and less than 30 minutes! (instead of the 1hr+ drive on google maps) Thank you!!
For travelers, about tipping - yes tip 15% on your check (no need to go over 15%) BUT to make you happy here's the good thing --> Be sure to make the servers work twice as hard for that 15% tip. Make yourself feel like a King when you're dining, extra sauce, extra this extra that, refills. (Only as needed but the point is don't hesitate to ask EXTRA Stuff)
Most importantly if you do not like the food brought to you (be it for taste/temperature or whatever) DO NOT hesitate to send it back. Call your server and have them bring you fresh food (say please). Yes make the restaurant work for you because it's your money. Many tourists would just eat whatever even if you they don't like it, Do not do that. You are the King over here, demand good food and service, that's where this tipping culture in America comes in.
15% and you'll be the king of the dirtbags. Asking for everything that you can think of and being a tyrant. Ugh.
Every time I'm there the bill says service charge 20-25℅, should I actually just give 15%??????
kev2020 they’re already being paid less
OHHH YESSS, DONT TRY TO BE TO DIFFICULT WITH THE SERVERS ..... YOU DONT KNOW WHAT CAN PEOPLE DO TO YOUR FOOD , THIS IS ANY WHERE YOU TRAVEL, IF YOU ASK FOR SOME HELP FROM THE KITCHEN ,BE NICE ,THOSE PEOPLE WORK HARD FOR THEIR MONEY,BE KIND .
Kaylan...I can tell you this from my experience as a native New Yorker, that when people do as you suggest, polite or not, expect to be dining on pubic hair, dandruff, powdered cockroach and a myriad of disgusting things that will keep you retching for a week. I know this because many a foreign smarmy pompous asshole tourist like yourself has dined on my pubic hair, dandruff and saliva.....ENJOY DOUSCEBAG
