My God bro, your knowledge of my hometown is unparalleled!
Nothing like a new tomdnyc video 🔥
Never knew the difference between Broadway, off Broadway, and off off Broadway. The number of seats huh. Thanks bro.
Was wondering today when a new vid would be up and here we are....!
Dude u are the best. U deserve a PHD in NY history and geography. U r the best.
Tom, you’re a gift to us all! Keep it up
That fake monk sound effect gives me the heebie jeebies - I'm glad this is the only video that has it
So nice your subscribers are growing Tom...you deserve it..
He is the best
I was first in Times Square in 1981, was in NYC to see The Clash, and it was bloody dangerous!
Even NYorker didn't go to Times Square during those days....
I got to tour the Paramount building extensively, such a cool building! Those clocks at the top are massive. Got to see them from the inside. One one of the upper floors they were redoing there was still stained glass in one of the windows that looked like it was from a church. Can’t imagine how old it was!
I work in Times Square and I appreciate all that you taught us today.
Baada Boom! Baada Bam! Baada Bang! You, Sir, are not only a real hoot, but a Didactic Hoot, to boot! Once lived in Manhattan. However, once I managed to escape with my life back in Spring '98, my romance with New York City had waned exponentially over the years. But, mah brotha, your intoxicating 'teaching trips' have a fired a reawakening-fondness for dear ol' Gotham. Yup! Your incredible humor, passion and electricity serve you well! Rock On!
The Paramount Theatre is where they had the premiere for the movie Love Me Tender, starring Elvis Presley.
I just found your videos! I love them, Tom! And love your sense of humor! You were killing me by the end of the video with your "fake monk alert" spottings! lol
How many fake monks per sq mile?
I really liked the Tuvan throat singing that you dubbed in when there was a "Monk Alert". Very clever.
I know, I agree with you 😂😂😂😂👍🏿👍
I remember all the porn shops, porn theaters, pimps, prostitutes, and drug dealers in the 1970's. Those were the good old days. Forget about Disney.
There were also a lot of small indie and art house theaters among the XXX and peep shows. Many film makers perfected their craft in the crossroads.
Lol they would be plus Studio 54
Very informative videos. The views are great including you.
Thumbnail: wocka wocka wocka wocka!!!
So many people talk smack online about Times Square but I love it. Best time to see Times Square is when it snows. I wish MTV went back to VJ format and broadcast live there again but without Carson Dorky or boy bands.
Thanks for showing the old Paramount Theater! Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin used to sell out the Paramount back in the day, and lines would stretch around the block.
The whole time I was taking pictures and video in Father Duffy Square? Madness! I should start making farting cat videos now.
😄
Cool. Action kid. Nice showing support to a fellow UA-camr!
Yeah. But you only walk. Cat farting is too much work for you.
The rounding error at Durst is mind-blowing!
FYI Broadway shows start up again in September (unless we have another lockdown), you can go online and get those Phantom of the Opera tickets now! Or get them on the day of at the TKTS booth!
Love love love your videos! You need your own travel show.
a great video, I long for the day I can get back to New York, thanks for another great tour
I actually was in Times Square today because I went to NJ. I stay away from Manhattan as much as possible! I drove through there as fast as I could which was about 2-3 miles per hour , normal Manhattan speed limit!! 😂😂 Sometimes I wonder why don't I just leave the car at home!! :)
How could you not love this content? Lmao! 👍😎👍
Glad that you're back Tom.
When the cat raised his butt and farted in your face! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You the man Tom 😂
The Paramount building also hosted the old Paramount Theatre. Hard Rock now has a replica marquee. Also don't give away the secret of the best bathroom in Times Square, aka, the Marriott.
He's talking about shipping captains setting their clocks accurately for safe travel on the open sea. This started in Greenwich, England where the Prime Meridian was also based. A ship's clock that was inaccurate by mere minutes would find themselves hundreds of miles off course.
So informative love it Tom.
I visited Times Square one
month ago. I like the way it looks at night. NY is very exciting!
Overall great videos!! but this one had me rolling with the "Fake Monk Alerts" LOL!!!
Where is Phil?
Thank you for another great historical/educational tour, Tom! 🍎🗽🚕🎭
I will always love NYC
I love how those guys behind you were fascinated by the pigeon.
Tom, just saw you in Billions!, Very Cool!
The show? Which episode ?
And don't forget that George M. Cohen wrote "Give My Regards to Broadway" ("Remember me to Herald Square...) Heading to NYC in October and will follow in your footsteps. Keep up the fun!... My wife is getting sick of me saying to her "How you doin' Phil?"
Love your content and sense of humor dude. Top of the line lol

👍🏼You didn’t get cussed today 👍🏼 I was in NY the weekend of June 19th. We stayed in Times Square. I had a run in with the cd guys and a monk lady. Going back in November. Will stay in Chelsea then. Hoping that area will be a little calmer 🤞🏼
Congratulations on upping your whole Presentation game, compared to a few months ago!
You came across as confident without being cocky, and your delivery was consistently paced, instead of manic... I appreciated your stopping, to face the camera/audience while speaking-rather than talking over your shoulder while speed-walking. Since you let us have some breathing room, I was able to process your stories, for a change. (And fully expect to remember Father Duffy Square). Oh, and thank you as well, for not eating while perched upon a pile of garbage bags on the street. Way to Class it up, Tom!
You so good. Hopefully you earning for your information. Living upstate I enjoy seeing the city with your walks better than actually being there
You thumbs downing Starbucks took me out 😂
instant classic...i haven't even seen it
Sensational as always, Tom. Stay well.
another banger of a tour Tom.
Going to NYC for the first time in November. Hopefully we can run into you.
Loving this stuff... keep it goin'

Durst's friend Berman was from an interesting Las Vegas family.

Times Square - "Highest concentration of 'fanny packs'" ... giggle :)
Always enjoying your vlog from.bali...indonesia. Interesting fact about where the name of times square came from...you are full of knowledge ☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍keep up the good work...I feel like I was there with you...
I miss the 90s when TRL was there!!! MTV babeee😉🥰😉
1:30 mins into the video….and LIKE!!! Great vid!! New subscriber too! 👍🏼
I love the magnificent and mighty USA Everything is so intriguing
Tom, great stuff man. I am researching a documentary centered in Times Square. If i get any actual production cash I"ll come find you!
Don't know why but Everytime I open UA-cam I deeply hope there's a new video from you dear tom.
Best Tour Guide EVER!
Practicall informative useful 👌 👍👏💯📡🤔
No wonder the Viacom building is so tough to spot....It's a concrete brutalist building surrounded by better looking art deco and modernist structures.
Excellent again Tom. I knew most of what you talked about but you enlightened me with some pretty good obscure stories too. Also, great advice telling people never to accept anything being handed out around there. Also also, those fake ass monks were sure out in force that day! Ha ha
I took a Theatre District tour a few years ago
Interesting
5:47 "thrown in a river in Texas" and the kid the in background leaves!
I've discovered a new NYC blog! Thumbs up hit! 😎
I stop playing xbox, turn on YT, and see this.
And the first building is The Knickerbocker Hotel, which had a Nathan's Hot Dogs in it for many years.
In 1985, it had Tron and Ms Pac Man video games, where I began my little hobby.
Full circle, 36 years apart.
No mention of Oscar Hammerstein?
Some names I remember well: Playland, Howard Johnsons, Tad's Steakhouse, and Show World Center (last one is gross and on 8th ave, but it's in GTA 4 kinda)
Btw, Ghosts of 42nd Street is a great history book.
Thanks for the monk alerts. 😂
