It’s crazy how I walked some of these blocks today in 2023 and here it is in 1994. I was born and raised here - it feels like revisiting a time that I was alive for but can’t remember.
did you know amazingly valuable this was going to be 20 years later?? thank you so much whoever you are. i grew up in woodside and theres so many things, places that are completely gone now but nostalgia helps brighten my day.
That was terrific. A nice memory blast. I remember many of those stores along your walk. Hadn't thought of them in quite some time. Thank you for putting this up here. Much appreciated.
Thank you. My sister lived in an apartment directly opposite the Sunnyside Grocery that is shown at the start of the video. I use to travel over from England every summer and spend my school holidays there. Great memories of the neighbourhood.
I came to US in 1996 Christmas time & literally lived in that neighborhood of bliss street next to a Korean couple laundromat & Korean Supermarket… 1 bedroom apartment are sold at $ 75,000 in those days & I used to watch Movies 🍿 at Center Cinema which is Closed today. I pay $ 3.00 for movie ticket on Wednesday…
Grew up on 50st and 45st between 1972 to 1984. We finally had to leave as the nabe was becoming hostile to white folks...but still enjoyed coming back in during the early/mid 90s when I got older to hit the Irish bars and crack a few sculls here and there. Now the Irish are all gone.
i grew up on 50th ave and 45th street across the street from Saint Teresa in the 90s, a lot of irish and colombians. it’s so different now, it’s most asians now and gentrification coming from manhattan but it always feel like home when i watch this video
oh wow. i was baptised in st theresa and went there until 2nd grade but moved to Ireland in 1980 with my family before coming back a few yrs later to over by Queen of angels@@luisecheverry8617

My mother always said it would be and LIC would be the next mini Manhattan . She was right .
My stomping ground literally from 1994-2006. Thank you.
born in Manhattan, lived in sunnyside from 96-00, loved everything about it

This is the Sunnyside I grew up in. I still remember it this way.

I miss that ice cream shop on 46 and Greenpoint
Royal Dansk that ice cream shop was great! 2:52 but how about that Genovese Drug store! It was great too! 😆
David Phan We are talking about ice cream shops not drug stores and drugs
Use to be able to buy coke out of that ice cream store !
Alpha donuts is still the same and feels like a time capsule thats amazing
And it’s still doing well! That place is a giant blast from the past.
Sadly it closed in August of 2023.
