Dear Tom's Mom - You should be very proud of your son!
@Yenny Ayala He is a teacher.
Lmaooo love your “Dominican “ accent. You’re always welcome to come eat arroz y habichuelas in my Dominican casa in BK 😄. Love your videos Tom
I agree ! I’m curious if his journey .
Jeezo ,grow up toms nearly 40
Yeah, he's one in a zillion.
Tom is my favorite tour guide-lawyer-actor-comic in New York City. The rest don't even compare.
Yep. Not even close. 👍🏾
Great tour. Also for sports historians the Highlanders baseball team later named the New York Yankees played at Hilltop park in Washington Heights where New York Columbia Presbyterian Hospital is located. There is a commemorative plaque where home base was.
I forgot that Malcolm X was murdered in Washington Heights back in the day. Thank you for reminding us Tom. Also Great tour, some parts of Washington Heights I've been to.
@jieair You’re funny💀🤣
I didn't realize that
Hello Tom, I'm a 4th generation Harlemite but I've lived across from Trinity cemetery for years. Just wanna' say I really enjoyed the tour. FYI Additional info: Sylvan Terrace was the slave quarters for George Washington. The building that is Boriqua College and Spanish Museum is also the Hall of letters, but was the Native American History Museum until the 90's when they moved it to the Wall St. Battery Park area, the names of the tribes are engraved along the rooftop. Likewise Samuel Clemens AKA "Mark Twain" is also buried in the cemetery... as well as my grandma and great grandparents who were born in 1891. Thank You for your work.
The history comments and background are OUTSTANDING and VERY INTERESTING. Good Work Tom !!!
I really enjoy Toms episodes.
I love your channel and don't care that you repeat things. I didn't know about Broadway stretching so far outside of NYC and I'm sure a lot of other people didn't either. We don't always catch all facts in every video. There's a lot to unpack. Keep up the great videos. I'm always thoroughly entertained.
Very interesting, thanks.
One thing you forgot, the home plate of Hilltop Park where the NY Highlanders - now known as the NY Yankees - played. It’s in the gated park at New York Presbyterian Hospital. You can get in by waiting for one of the staff to open the gate.
The old, and slightly creepy, gentleman leading us through this video really knows his stuff. Love all those facts. And the production value is getting better each video, like, did you see, this video had cuts!!! Totally poggers.
@@rudnickasphotography9825 Don't judge me, I just commented to help this video with the UA-cam algorithm. Of course Tom isn't old. At best he's oldish... But I see you didn't mind me calling him creepy 😁
Thanks, Pierre! Each cutaway took 72 hours of work to execute. I had been editing this video for 3 1/2 years and I am now retired. I am too old and creepy for all of this work!
@@tomdnyc1 😂😂😂
everybody can walk around a city and film, but hard to beat tom :)
I love his video tours. He is so above and beyond knowledgeable about all things New York City.
no hes not, stop it
@@MrRoderick187 why is he not?
Look at my comments st you'll see y. He did a half ass job with tons of incorrect information
@@MrRoderick187 oh cmon give him a break, you don't need to take offense to him saying something wrong it's never that deep
It was trash n dass it lol
his Info was Incorrect, he's not from here obviously
Carry on....
You’re like a walking encyclopedia man! Great stuff.
Being a New York City native, this was very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Love these walking tours. Like Bourdain, it isn't just the information Tom provides, it's the oratory.
And I think that if facts are getting repeated it just helps to demonstrate that even though New York is many different neighborhoods, it is still one city; it is gestalt.
Thank you for the work, both you and Phil. These tours are fantastic.
Awesome tour, really fun. I like that hood in the summertime. The Jamal Mansion is a great place to sit with a sketch book. Thanks, Tom and Phil.
Thank You for staying positive about the barrio. I lived in the heights for a few years and loved it.
My word! Dominican cuisines, historical landmarks, and political assassinations? Who knew "Washington Heights" could be so exciting.
Your videos make me feel that there is wonderful community of walkers and riders on UA-cam and I won't have to feel lonely when I am on your channel. Thank you. : )
I agree, I love Alex Haley’s book on Malcolm X. This tour was fantastic! I noted a few places to go on my next visit to NYC.
The Autobiography of Malcolm X is captivating from the 1st word!
Tom you're the next big NYC UA-camr, love your vids! If you ever want free videography/editing/refreshment table coordinators/extras/translators of young people culture, we'd love to help! We're located in Morningside Heights during breaks from college. Keep up the amazing work! You, sarah funk, and actionkid gonna rule the big apple someday 🗽
This is awesome of you guys to offer to Tom. Hopefully he sees this comment. Also, hopefully one day someone does the same with me on my channel LOL😭😅❗
The Jar doesn't know how to kayak.
@@Gsntlc Agreed, The Jar can't kayak.
That's such a nice offer, thanks! Would love to chat. Where can I reach out to you?
@@tomdnyc1 You can email us at alexanddan00@gmail.com
Looking forward to talking!
I just found your channel, Love the History lessons. " You hear that Mom? it doesn't matter that all those other lighthouses that graduated Law school with me are making 6 figures, my light its just fine" LOL Yes it is Tom no matter how small you think your light is, it is needed by someone , and your light shines brother, it shines very big and bright, Thank you!
My son lives here
I absolutely love it!
It also had a heavy Greek influence at one time. My son lives on Audubon between 172nd and 173rd. Same Spiridon on Wadsworth. Beautiful Greek Orthodox Church.
My great uncle came from Greece in the 1910s and never left Washington Heights
I can’t express enough how much I loved this! I was born in New York to Dominican a parents and we moved to Florida when I was 9. I vaguely remember New York so this virtual tour was prefect! I can’t wait to go back and watch more of your tours 🔥🥰
Thank you Tom. Another goodie.
You’re knowledge is amazing. Thank you for your work.
I love Tom. He always mix so much knowledge with humor (very funny, those faces 🤣), even moralejas for his mother.
Hahahaha.
Great job again man
Thanks for the video. Born in Presbyterian Hospital December 27th 1952. Lived on 162nd and 575 West 172 street. Played at that light house Sixty-two years ago. Hey Diego, if by chance if you see this....Remember Neil?
I have seen some of your recent videos about NYC, I like the way you explain all the History, its quite useful for foreigners and you do very enjoyable. Even if I am European, I can understand you pretty well and also love the differences between spanish and english accents. They are both quite. Don't worry about people trying to criticize you, there are always vindictive people who do not see the good that your videos do to those who are not from NYC. Keep working hard. Thank you so much Tom
Love your knowledge
Well versed, well read, historian and great story teller and proud New Yorker. I feel I am taking US history in NYU.
Thanks again. Quality!
gotta love this guy. the lighthouse analogy is great. your light is needed by someone :)
There is a little red lighthouse under the GW bridge.
Great tour, but A-Rod did not come from DR, he was born in Washington heights from Dominican parents.
Lol nobody wants claim responsibility for arod
Stfu
Tom, I have been patiently waiting for the Washington Heights video and you never disappoint. I am a huge fan of the editing too. Sound effects, creepy pop ups behind random stuff, asleep on park benches, being violent with a random chunk of tree limb. Just love it all!
Glad you liked it!
@@tomdnyc1 love your work. Why not start an affiliate link for books you recommend. I want to read Malacolm X autobiography but waiting for your link. Thanks 😊
Wonderful video, Tom!
Let me add my two cents: the nice building you show in front of Bennet Park is Hudson View Gardens, one of the 5 historical buildings in all NYC.
You walked by Broadway and 157th st. Right there and one block West, on Riverside Drive, John Cassavettes shot a few scenes with Gena Rowlands in their movie Gloria, where she plays a tough gangster woman.
Looking forward to more of your videos, Tom!
I'm always amazed of HOW MUCH u know man!!!
Soy uruguayo y vivo en Brooklyn.
Vivi varios años por esos lares.
Abrazo hermano!
Love your tours!
Thanks man, great video! Merry Christmas.
Another great tour!

Yet another fantastic, fun- and fact-filled tour! Thanks, Tom D! Keep 'em coming!
Love the video! Great tour, you captured the essence of the neighborhood

The recap at the end is great Tom, you put out a lot of info and my rememory isn’t so good anymore. Love your stuff! Thanks

Excellant Tour Tom, It was nice seeing you at Bryant Park couple of weeks ago
YOU ARE SO AMAZING ! Will NOT get tired saying in all your videos! Hello from Pennsylvania ❤️
Phil is right it was a great tour thanks Tom
Thanks for the tour of Washington Heights. My mom grew up there in the 30s and 40s and went to George Washington HS. My grandfather owned a grocery store on Cabrini Blvd, but I've never actually spent any time in the neighborhood.
Really enjoyed watching this after seeing “In The Heights”! Thank you!!

Outstanding knowledge and from memory. Best online NYC tour videos on UA-cam.
Dude these videos are awesome, I lived in Inwood from 2001-2004, I'm learning more from this video than from my time living there!

This was a good one Tom. I liked the cutaways to Bennett Park and Washington Bridge
I love following along on Google Earth! I am so coming to NYC and we are going walking!!
Tons of history on this tour Tom....
Excellent tour 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. Thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to know more about Washington Heights because of Lin Manuel Miranda’s Broadway show
This video was awesome, as they all are, but particularly I got to learn more about my home neighborhood. So informative.
Great video. As someone born and raised in Washington Heights, I was aware of a lot but I also learned a lot. You are now officially 'honorary Dominican'. QLQ De lo mioo!!!! LOL Keep up the great work. ✊🏾
Really enjoyed this
Liked the video right at the beginning! Me encantan estos videos, Tom! Saludos desde Texas!! 😁

Have always loved it's intense history,people and diversity. Again thank you your facts and your were the bomb!! Love. Peace.Happiness.💜
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TOM - be safe. ~ JDS/CT -- from Connecticut
I’m a Washington Heights native, from 175th/Broadway…right across from the building where El Malecón is at. My old building is in plain view from 3:42 to 3:53 - 700 W 175th Street.
J. Hood Wright Park one block down from there on Ft. Washington Ave was like a second home to me every summer as a child.
I left WH for Miami in July 1985 and don’t regret it one bit.
Washington Heights was already very Dominican by the late ‘70s.
I’ve visited WH many times between 1994 and 2013. Definitely some dos and don’ts for that neighborhood. Rule of thumb: west of Broadway and north of 181st Street has ALWAYS been best.
Good show. Thanks.
