    I'm surprised Tom doesn't have a million subscribers. I look forward to every new video and enjoy watching his older ones. Will we ever get to see Phil? Is he 6' 10"? Tom's videos make me want to live in NYC.

    I heard about your channel from Mark Normand on We Might Be Drunk, the podcast he does with Sam Morril. I immediately paused the pod to come check it out and it is fantastic! As a little kid in Salt Lake City I would go to the library and check out as many books about NYC that I could find. I've always been fascinated by its sheer scope and history. I stare at maps for hours on end trying to memorize where everything is relative to well known landmarks, even doing things like pausing Brooklyn Nine-Nine to get a look at the map that hangs in their bullpen, with Prospect Park at the bottom right.
    Anyhow, I look forward to watching all of your clips! Keep it up, they're cool as hell.

    What’s up brother Tom I absolutely love your channel. I can sit and watch your vids all day and I have actually done this as a matter of fact. You honestly really do teach me things I did not know about my home town. I am from Brooklyn (W’Burg) but live in Philly where I am a Philly police officer. My family left BKLYN in 88. Anyway I was wondering if you ever considered making some vids here in Philly, which I’m sure you kno is filthy rich with history. I would love to be a part of it maybe hold the camera for you film for you 🤷🏽‍♂️
    Except….. I…. Don’t have a camera.😢
    But I do have an iPhone 😂.
    Anyways brother, love, peace n hair grease. ✌🏾

    Actually, many Europeans came to the US as the same time, because when the famine hit Ireland it didn't just hit Ireland, it hit the rest of Europe. That's when the majority of Germans and others from Europe immigrated to the US. It was bad in Scandinavia. My mother's family came over to the US from Norway, via Ellis Island at that time. A whole 1/3rd of my grandmother's town left at the same time. I can't even imagine nearly half of a community leaving. They didn't stay in NYC, but, like everyone else, they entered through NYC. I remember seeing the picture of her and her parents when she was 12 years old. My grandma was the strongest woman I've ever known. I loved her so much!

    Top tour Tom! (Sic name for a channel 🤪). Thoroughly enjoyable, as ever. I watched Sarah and yourself doing the ‘Founding of the U.S.A. Tour’ and think that my family would enjoy that 🙃😉. Everything revolves around COVID-19 but, following a few major operations on my favourite wife, I fully intend to get over there with my surprised wife and our family to do a tour. 🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻. It might end up being a zombie tour where at the end of it some us have fallen into bits but, enjoyed it whilst we held it together 😷🤣🥴.
    I can’t believe it’s so warm over there at the moment, from this side of the pond here in Brexitland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (England). 🤗🙃😉
