For those who have never been to the Bronx, this video doesn't represent the entire area. It focuses on 149th Street and 3rd Avenue, where few individuals seem too comfortable in their situation. While I want to help, I can't. U see the police in the video keeping everyone safe and having him under control. The Bronx is a culturally rich place with a lot of diversity, and if you don't bother people, nobody is going to bother you. As you can see, I'm walking and filming with my phone on a gimbal, and nobody approached me. The Bronx is a land of freedom where you can do whatever you want, a place I truly admire and enjoy. My intention was to add variety and action to the channel, not to offend anyone. I love the Bronx and plan to film more beautiful places.

Lol. Bronx is not dangerous unless you're in a gang. Besides that, its fine. It's usually the crazy people with mental illness that cause the problem. Gangs always cause harm to other gangs or school related
Same impression here, Rome. Not so bad at all. Of course there may be people suffering in some way, but with a sense of great dignity. Overall impression is pleasant.
Most Dangerous what? that's a stretch. Lived in the Bronx most of my life. 95% of the Bronx is a walk in the park, and I mean that. A title change is in order buddy. You ever grew up in the Bronx during the Apex of the Crack era? shhheeeeeeeeetttt!!!
I’m glad you clarified that. However that title is misleading. I hope when you eventually visit the dangerous hood of Brooklyn such as Brownsville, ENY, Canarsie, E Flatbush, Crown Heights. Hope you’ll title it the same. Cause so far you’ve only been to the “nice” areas of Brooklyn. Covered some areas twice even.
@@321thach stop watching internet and see for your own eyes. I don't know but the hoods, but manhattan sure is safe. Police everywhere, even during night. No trash, no ppl harrasing. That's my experience, been there for 2 weeks this year, and I can't say a bad word.
Nice job getting good, smooth, steady footage while walking/riding around and avoiding collisions. Hard to do in a dense area. Footage is very steady, no shaking, and not too fast or slow. You got it down pat well
As a person born and raised in the Bronx, it's not dangerous, just poor. The Bronx is full of loving, hardworking people. They are true hidden gems in the borough. However, like any neighborhood, there are less desirable parts. You have to be street-smart wherever you go.
@@absurd_patience I don't know about that. There's plenty of empty trash cans throughout the video. Do the members of the community not know what they are?
Hey, man! Thanks for your video. You really know how to show around: you slow down your speed, turns the camera to specific points, and you have a steady hold of your bike, not moving in zigzag. I'm really enjoying it! By the way, I'm from Recife, Brazil. See you!
My mom worked on 3 Ave and 149 St Alexander's, where l went after to school to pick up her up. She worked at the counter where you would get a sandwich and milkshake. When she got off work late at night we would sometimes walk home without a care in the world. Sometimes she would forget to lock our doors, but there was nothing to worry about. Yes! in the 50's and 60's it was safe and a clean area. With tears in my eyes, and a broken heart for what has happened. Many important people came from the Bronx- just to name a few, Al Pacino, Ralph Lauren, Lauren Bacall and many, many more. l lived in a beautiful Building with a beautiful lobby and a 24 hour doorman on the Concourse. The Concourse was the Park Avenue of the Bronx. Sunday's my friends and l would go to the Loews Theater on Fordham Rd, and afterwards we went to Jahn's ice cream parlor for the kitchen Sink which was a Banana Split Sundae
@@Davinylhard to explain. I just had a different picture in my head. It’s the big apple u know. I know New York from movies and stuff. And even the gangsta movies had a more “cleaner” version.
I am English and my late wife was Jamaican. We visited New York from the UK only once, over thirty years ago, where we stayed with one of my wife's relatives who lived in the Bronx, a ten minute walk from Burnside Avenue station on Subway line 4. We visited various neighbourhoods including the Fordham shopping area but not The Hub seen in this videos.
@@glenfordgreen3277 False, the energy in the Bronx is sh$t. We are living under a culture of suspicion. And the poverty level is apparent here. Hip Hop?! That's nice. But Hip Hop doesn't pay the bills down here. Not trying to sound morbid. Just telling it like it is.
I live here and it is disgusting and a disgrace I'm saving my money for the day I get to leave this gigantic dump, filled with hateful miserable people who leech off the government their entire lives it is truly disgusting I don't even want to leave my house anymore...
Believe me , most people that live there wish they had the economic wherethwal to move out. Lets not romanticize the south bronx. Not fun to live there.
I know appearances can be deceiving, but I found your ride along of the Bronx and surrounding areas to be very enjoyable and exciting to view. I am aware that when the sun goes down, things can change in a heart beat. But all in all I really did enjoy your video. Bless you my friend.
Bless us and save us!!!!😱 I can't believe I walked through these very streets while growing up in Mott Haven over sixty years ago that the entire districts, especially Fordham Road, turned the Bronx into a smut and filth borough today. How can it be that Fordham was once a popular shopping site where you could spend the weekends with your family visiting stores, eating in small delicatessens, and participating in social street activities all year round? Watching this upload is not only shocking, but it fills my heart with despair to find nothing but disorder and mayhem among the neighborhoods that were pristine at one time, with residents who rigorously precedented in maintaining the quality of life in the Bronx. Judging by the current outlook of the streets and blocks, I wouldn't go near my old neighborhood if you promised me room and board at the Waldorf because it comes as no surprise that an invader would cut my throat to apprehend my $10.00 watch.
You're not alone, it's in every desirable U.S. city now. It's exactly the opposite here and for me and the rest of us so called "Left Overs" in my good 'ol neighborhood. It's gentrified and almost entirely racially exclusive now and attempting to become shi shi west. My landlord (read scumbag) has attempted to unlawfully evict me six times since 2000 because of greed with some prejudice mixed in. Low lifes don't necessarily have to look a certain way and be from any particular class.
I visit my sister who lives in the Bronx near 171st & Washington Ave. I’ve never felt scared. It indeed looks this way,and most people leave you alone minding their business. However, with that said, it is an urban jungle. Ugly landscape, littered streets. Crackheads prevalent especially early mornings on Tremont Ave. Most crimes happen at night time as with any other city worldwide. Guns are a common problem with young males. There are pockets of old italian neighborhoods scattered throughout the Bronx, but those are slowly dying out because the younger generation of Italians don’t want to run the family businesses. Gentrification is currently happening in 2024, forcing out many Hispanic and native African residents to leave due to skyrocketing rent prices
I'm Asian American from Queens and go up to the Bronx for the night market or Yankees games. It's always all love when I go there and the locals love to chat about random stuff with me. 🤣
Hey that's a bit random but here it is: about ten years ago I had my first and only stay in NYC. We tried to go to as many different boroughs / areas as possible but six days weren't enough to cover it all. Mainly Manhattan, part of Brooklyn, Staten Island and we barely set a foot in Harlem, not even knowing we were there. My wife is from Wenzhou and I realized a lot of Wenzhounese had settled in Queens, so if you have any tip as to where to go next time, which place to see and where to meet the locals, etc I'd be glad. If you're not from there, just ignore this haha. Cheers from Paris.

Another eye-opening walking tour brother, seeing the highs & lows of this part of the Bronx, but seeing Yankee Stadium really warms my heart (life-long Yanks fan here)
Boy! What a ride! I really enjoyed it very much. My opinion of the South Bronx has changed dramatically. It definitely has nothing to envy the other counties and sectors of the city. So much different from the walking tours, where you're at a slow pace throughout the journey, not seeing most of what is on the left nor right. Here, you're at a brisk pace taking in so much. Thanks a million.
Wow that would be a nice place to visit, I like the way you do your tours of New York. You get a lot covered and its always pleasant to watch. Cheers from Down Under.
Not gon hold you… i lived in polo grounds.. & 149 3d Ave in the X... Trust me these blocks lol…. Gotta go more deep in the neighborhood thats when u gon see the goons out word..
Lol. Bronx is not dangerous unless you're in a gang. Besides that, its fine. It's usually the crazy people with mental illness that cause the problem. Gangs always cause harm to other gangs or school related. I use to live in a lot of these areas. Even where the guy that was on the ground thats on Fordham RD. There are homeless and rehab clinics in that area
The bronx is not care for by the city, they have to do more, it was sad to see the court house so dirty and not painted, i lived in that area in the 70's, thanks for sharing 👍
What has happened to the Bronx man. 70 years ago that was the best place in New York. So many famous people lived there, and it was a massive center of tourism.
@@Ray03595You do realize that the Bronx has WAY more historical attractions than just the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium, right? I would enlighten you on it but we'd be here all day.
what is your mode of transport? Electric skateboard? Are you using a visible camera mount? A few people gave you that side eye when they noticed being filmed. lol
It all comes down to respect and giving back to your community.. The developers are in for the money.. and so are the politicians.. So give that a thought and give it back ! Great ride! That’s truly a transformation of my old Bronx!
Sylvan Terrace look like a new development. Because it definitely wasn’t there when I lived in NYC but overall, great footage of them hoods in the X, yu erd 💯‼️🏆👑💪🏾🗽
What are you talking about? They’re Victorian row houses from 1887. They were servants homes that worked at Morris- Jumel Mansion. They have been well preserved and still thriving close to Washington Heights above Harlem.
im pretty jealous u, ive never been in united states but lived 15 years in İstanbul. met some peaple from new york but not much just some, while been stayed some small hotels. hope soon move to visite new york as well but anyway jealous all american citizens nowever who they are, is a great luck to be born in this country, born in Amerika❤
I lived there in the 70s&80s I went to ps32 then ps45 then to Roosevelt H.S. Wasn’t too bad, so long as you stayed in your hood . I got jumped a few times for going into wrong park or area 🤷🏻♂️.
At times during this amazing video, it felt like you were in a 3rd world country. But everyone I have talked to who is from NYC or has lived there always speaks so lovingly about it, and about the special vibe and enrrgy of it. 👍
I remember when 3rd Ave had an el train running above it. This was back in the 60s and 70s The population at that time was mostly black, white and Puerto Rican. White ppl left. That was called white flight.
I visited NYC from Australia in late March/early April and before leaving to visit to Chicago I attended the Yankee's season opener against the Blue Jays with my mother, after the game I walked around the Bronx attempting to get an uber/taxi to LaGuardia with no luck, people in Manhattan were telling us to avoid some areas surrounding the stadium but was forced to walk around. There were elements of drug use and poor people like most places where normal people live but I did not feel unsafe, people noticed that I was lost and offered directions. I noticed HEAPS of gum on the footpath. Other than that everyone stuck in their lane and did their thing. I loved the sounds & multiculturism and am looking forward to returning to NYC!
If you live outside the USA, you quickly see what is missing in this type of video . There are no fresh veggie shops,no fruit stands, no fresh greens, no organic foods....just endless fast food chains and fried foods.....so you may wonder why people are fatter in the USA than people outside the country.

Its a lot nicer now than it was was years ago. I used to work on 149th and Morris ave back in the early 90s. It was rough back then. Always love the bronx though
Born and raised in the bronx 196 and Marion..block parties ,kingsbrigde terrace Kid Capri..good old days, Fordham rd..Grand concourse..Women everywhere..
Where's the danger? This just looks like any working class neighborhood anywhere. Try walking through downtown Seattle, San Francisco, or LA for a reality check
Downtown Seattle is basically chill for the most part. Just don’t walk through 3rd & Pine/3rd & Pike & you’ll be alright. Same with SF. Avoid the Tenderloin at all costs, & you’ll be good. Now…downtown LA? That’s a whole different story 😂
@MikeV.-sy6fl where else? I was in downtown SF 2 months ago & it was chill. Union Square, Mission, Castro, Fisherman Wharf, all that didn’t run into any problems outside of the TL.
I was hoping you would keep going up 161st I was born and raised in the South Bronx ... Those were my old stomping grounds... Went to Sts Peter and Paul on 161st Brook Ave.. by the 42nd Pct. Lived in McKinley Houses on 161st Btwn Trinity and Tinton Aves. Moved out 28 years ago .. Haven't been back since.
Man this neighbourhood is ugly, it's just so eclectic and kitschy, no building fits any of the others visually. It's like no planning process went into building this place.
Soy argentino y puedo decir que el bronx esta mucho mejor que muchos barrios de mi pais ,podria ser una zona de clase media tipica de argentina (incluso mejor)
It's true and that's very good for you, but, my friend, things could turn out bad with the blink of an eye,,,you never know, especially now! Meanwhile enjoy your life!
Very interesting ride! Are you traveling by electric bike? What is your camera? On the helmet? I would like to propose the same kind of ride for Paris in France!
Garage everywhere, not when I was growing up. It’s really sad 😢. These are some parts of The Bronx county. This is Melrose and Park Avenue and Third Ave and Hunt Point …The South Bronx.

Not gon hold you… i lived in polo grounds.. & 149 3d Ave in the X... Trust me these blocks lol…. Gotta go more deep in the neighborhood thats when u gon see the goons out word..
Lol. Bronx is not dangerous unless you're in a gang. Besides that, its fine. It's usually the crazy people with mental illness that cause the problem. Gangs always cause harm to other gangs or school related. I use to live in a lot of these areas. Even where the guy that was on the ground thats on Fordham RD. There are homeless and rehab clinics in that area
Thank you for this insightful perambulator documentary, as well as the contributions to the comments section.

The bronx is not care for by the city, they have to do more, it was sad to see the court house so dirty and not painted, i lived in that area in the 70's, thanks for sharing 👍
What kind of stabilizer are you using to record? Incredible clean and steady footage.
NYC was beautiful when Giuliani was running it.
Indeed
Cleaned it up!
What has happened to the Bronx man. 70 years ago that was the best place in New York. So many famous people lived there, and it was a massive center of tourism.
hes literally showing ONLY the bad parts
Not anymore, descent people left and move somewhere
I always wanted to visit New York. After seeing this video it's no longer something I'm interested in pursuing. Thanks for the upload! 👍
😂😂😂 you right you would have been a vic😂😂 talkin like that
Still go just don’t visit the Bronx. If you’re a tourist there’s not much to see there besides Yankees Stadium and the zoo perhaps.
@@Ray03595 Thanks will think on it. 😃
@@Ray03595You do realize that the Bronx has WAY more historical attractions than just the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium, right? I would enlighten you on it but we'd be here all day.
if u dont want dont do it. whole world wish come more than u either new york dont lost nothing.
Love the videos, what equipment do you use for capturing your tour?
what is your mode of transport? Electric skateboard? Are you using a visible camera mount? A few people gave you that side eye when they noticed being filmed. lol
One wheel GT. Apparently, if you take your time learning to use it, people 10 to 80can use it easily.
hahahahaha I was thinking the same thing !! Good footage too !!!! Jesus lord,!! Be safe on that thing !!!
It all comes down to respect and giving back to your community.. The developers are in for the money.. and so are the politicians.. So give that a thought and give it back ! Great ride! That’s truly a transformation of my old Bronx!
Sylvan Terrace look like a new development. Because it definitely wasn’t there when I lived in NYC but overall, great footage of them hoods in the X, yu erd 💯‼️🏆👑💪🏾🗽
What are you talking about? They’re Victorian row houses from 1887. They were servants homes that worked at Morris- Jumel Mansion. They have been well preserved and still thriving close to Washington Heights above Harlem.
POV: You're George Costanza commuting to work
Excellent video!
I really love the speed at which this is produced. I get to visit cities in the comfort of my home on a 60" screen. Good Job! Subbed.
Glad you like it!
This is my Neighborhood i grew up here.......i always feel safe......
im pretty jealous u, ive never been in united states but lived 15 years in İstanbul. met some peaple from new york but not much just some, while been stayed some small hotels. hope soon move to visite new york as well but anyway jealous all american citizens nowever who they are, is a great luck to be born in this country, born in Amerika❤
Then sleep with your doors and windows unlocked
Wonderful
I lived there in the 70s&80s
I went to ps32
then ps45
then to
Roosevelt H.S.
Wasn’t too bad, so long as you stayed in your hood .
I got jumped a few times for going into wrong park or area 🤷🏻♂️.
The first building residential is beautiful, the pavement makes it feel more intimate 😊
At times during this amazing video, it felt like you were in a 3rd world country.
But everyone I have talked to who is from NYC or has lived there always speaks so lovingly about it, and about the special vibe and enrrgy of it. 👍
They respect were they are from but no there is no positivity among living in a drug run down poor neighborhood.
Thanks for sharing, I'm from California the eastbay👍🏾
Bronx looking cleaner and better than rest of all cities...
Awesome camera work!
Wish you would’ve went up 4 more blocks when u got to 3rd Ave 154th st. But u turned around. I grew up in this area as a kid.
I remember when 3rd Ave had an el train running above it. This was back in the 60s and 70s The population at that time was mostly black, white and Puerto Rican. White ppl left. That was called white flight.
I visited NYC from Australia in late March/early April and before leaving to visit to Chicago I attended the Yankee's season opener against the Blue Jays with my mother, after the game I walked around the Bronx attempting to get an uber/taxi to LaGuardia with no luck, people in Manhattan were telling us to avoid some areas surrounding the stadium but was forced to walk around. There were elements of drug use and poor people like most places where normal people live but I did not feel unsafe, people noticed that I was lost and offered directions. I noticed HEAPS of gum on the footpath. Other than that everyone stuck in their lane and did their thing. I loved the sounds & multiculturism and am looking forward to returning to NYC!
THX 4 D UPLOAD
Great video, I assume this was drone footage but it looks awesome. Thanks for posting. New subscriber.
wonderful video
If you live outside the USA, you quickly see what is missing in this type of video . There are no fresh veggie shops,no fruit stands, no fresh greens, no organic foods....just endless fast food chains and fried foods.....so you may wonder why people are fatter in the USA than people outside the country.
Go to East NY or Brownsville at 2:00am . That’s a little scary.😮
More like expensive now days
Strolling The City IS distinguished HALLMARK of the BIG APPLE. Brings back memorable memories of my past and easily remembered here - Thank you kindly Strolling The City!
Glad you're enjoying the videos! It’s wonderful to hear they bring back memorable moments for you. Thank you for the kind words and support!
Thanks for video. Are you riding a scooter or ebike?
Totally different world than my life.
Mine too, thank God. 🙏
First I saw you were using a GoPro, then you mentioned you use a phone, do you have any tips on how to use a phone while riding and keeping the image so stable ? Thanks
Home sweet home to me. Personally I love the culture. Cool video thanks for posting it.
What culture? And what's sweet about it?
انا من المملكة العربيه السعوديه وعشت في كوينز وبرونكس كانت جداً جميله و بعدها انتقلت الى هارلم شارع مالكوم اكس و اخيراً انتقلت الى بروكلن كلها جميله بالبساطه ولكن الاجمل برونكس وبروكلن الاكل من جميع ثقافات العالم
Are u sure it's not Lagos?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The slavery thing was a white man's idea
.....
From where did you get that background voice you added to this video may I know? Did u bought it? How much?
How pretty the slums are 😂😂😂 keep it!! The End is coming!!
What end?
Wow, very different from where I'm at. Nice video!😄
Every city has "dark places"...
Which us why I got tf out
@MikeV.-sy6fl lol
Its a lot nicer now than it was was years ago. I used to work on 149th and Morris ave back in the early 90s. It was rough back then. Always love the bronx though
BOM DIA IRMÃO 😘 VC SEMPRE NOS SURPREENDENDO
I’m from Argentina and there are many parts that are similar to my neighborhood, I would also be careful around at night :)
Born and raised in the bronx 196 and Marion..block parties ,kingsbrigde terrace Kid Capri..good old days, Fordham rd..Grand concourse..Women everywhere..
I worked in The Hub for years....never had any trouble, great food, real nice people. I kinda miss it.
And lots of crack addicts walking like zombies, many of them asking for money, getting into restaurants and snatching food away
What a lovely place!
25:31 thumbnail 😂
I live in paradise. So blessed.
Good for u. Where is it located?
Where's the danger? This just looks like any working class neighborhood anywhere. Try walking through downtown Seattle, San Francisco, or LA for a reality check
Dog there was a dead body laying there for 20 minutes
Downtown Seattle is basically chill for the most part. Just don’t walk through 3rd & Pine/3rd & Pike & you’ll be alright. Same with SF. Avoid the Tenderloin at all costs, & you’ll be good. Now…downtown LA? That’s a whole different story 😂
@@kevincosgrove4954 Don't know if he was deceased. Temp was 85 that day, but humid weather made it feel in the upper 90s
@MikeV.-sy6fl where else? I was in downtown SF 2 months ago & it was chill. Union Square, Mission, Castro, Fisherman Wharf, all that didn’t run into any problems outside of the TL.
@MikeV.-sy6fl man, the mission & Chinatown were popping when I went. We must have had 2 different experiences lol
What were you riding on, and what camera were you using?
I'm glad the Lord has blessed me so I don't have to live in a big city.
Same here. I lived there but when my wife became pregnant I bought a home upstate. No way I'm raising my children in that horrible place
Why wouldn't you like to live in the city tho?
@@seanjones6516Because it's a s**thole
@@seanjones6516 Not sure about him but for me cities are usually plagued with violence, gangs, crime, etc. Def not a place to raise a family.
Smells like urine and desperation
I was hoping you would keep going up 161st I was born and raised in the South Bronx ... Those were my old stomping grounds... Went to Sts Peter and Paul on 161st Brook Ave.. by the 42nd Pct. Lived in McKinley Houses on 161st Btwn Trinity and Tinton Aves. Moved out 28 years ago .. Haven't been back since.
Man this neighbourhood is ugly, it's just so eclectic and kitschy, no building fits any of the others visually. It's like no planning process went into building this place.
This is just like the average big city in Brazil. Our downtowns are mostly depressive and dangerous at night.
@@VNeto94 yeah, I've heard that no Brazilian cities were planned except for Curitiba and Brasilia.
Soy argentino y puedo decir que el bronx esta mucho mejor que muchos barrios de mi pais ,podria ser una zona de clase media tipica de argentina (incluso mejor)
Praise be to God, my country, Saudi Arabia, we do not have homeless people on the streets
Indeed, Saudi Arabia is forever paradise 🇸🇦✅
It's true and that's very good for you, but, my friend, things could turn out bad with the blink of an eye,,,you never know, especially now! Meanwhile enjoy your life!
This is so cool and not what I imagined. I’d love to visit.
It's more like south africa
Very interesting ride! Are you traveling by electric bike? What is your camera? On the helmet? I would like to propose the same kind of ride for Paris in France!
Garage everywhere, not when I was growing up. It’s really sad 😢. These are some parts of The Bronx county. This is Melrose and Park Avenue and Third Ave and Hunt Point …The South Bronx.
I'm from Europe and am asking why are you passing on red light 🤔
