  • I walk the entirety of 23rd Street in Manhattan from the Hudson River to the East River.
    From Wikipedia:
    "23rd Street is a broad thoroughfare in the New York City borough of Manhattan, one of the major two-way, east-west streets in the borough's grid. As with Manhattan's other "crosstown" streets, it is divided into its east and west sections at Fifth Avenue. The street runs from Avenue C and FDR Drive in the east to Eleventh Avenue in the west.
    23rd Street was created under the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. The street hosts several famous hotels, including the Fifth Avenue Hotel and Hotel Chelsea, as well as many theaters. Several skyscrapers are located on 23rd Street, including the Flatiron Building, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, and One Madison. "

    I would never buy a dog in a big city like NYC. There are no forests, no fields, no meadows, no parks where the dog can run free.
    I live in Germany, in the Ruhr area, and I am glad that we have green strips, forests, fields and more here. The Ruhr area is densely built, but it is still very green.

    When I was staying at the hostel on W. 20th street in Chelsea, I decided to go for a walk that took me to the Hudson River Park 5:10, I totally enjoyed this lovely, awesome park. Action Kid, have you heard of the Flying Pan, it's an old lighthouse ship transformed into a floating Restaurant at W, 26th St. at the Hudson River Park Pier 66. I went to check it out all I can say is wow!

    These old school narrated videos like the ones you did 2 years back are your best, your other videos of a different type are less interesting, thank you.

    • @michaelchin3550
      @michaelchin3550 3 роки тому +1

      To each their own. His videos of a different type of "less interest" may interest those with less interesting tastes. LOL. Personally, I like how he goes from cycling, to walking to being in a car, to narrated to non narrated. He evolves with the times/situations. Old school to new school...we get comparisons. Unlike mass media we get unbiased documentation.

    Hi Action Kid At 11:47 passing by the Calle Dao, wow if looks could kill. I used to get those looks by tourists in the middle of intersections trying to get pictures of the high rises almost in the middle of the intersections and when I yelled you’re going to get run over well, there’s the look:) Could you also do a passing commentary on which retail boutiques are open or thriving or those having a close out sale! Thx for the beautiful walk, hope to run into you sometime out and about. Blessings to you this autumn take care A.K. ❤️

      Sadly that’s true, there’s this story I remember reading a long time ago, it has many variations iterations, so, I’m paraphrasing, Life and Death were sitting by a lake on a rickety fishing pier, they sat there for days, months maybe countless years, then one day Life turns to Death and asked, Why do people love me and hate you, then Death gracefully and without hesitation wraps its arms around Life and whispers, Because you are the beautiful lie, where as, I am the ugly truth. Take that story however you will, getting old sucks and no one prepares you for it either
