A Day in New York 1920s in color [60fps,Remastered] w/sound design added

- I colorized, restored and created sound design for this video of 1920s New York, the Lady Liberty shots, starting at around 1:00, we're traveling north in Times Square with the old Astor Hotel on the left.
The next shot at 1:08 is looking north on Orchard Street towards Stanton.
At 1:16, we are traveling uptown on Park Row under the El, approaching Baxter
Then at 1:34, we jump to Harald Square with Macy's on the far left, traveling north on Sixth Ave. along the old El.
After returning to Times Square again, we get a shot of Fifth Avenue, followed by a wider shot of Orchard Street.at 2:31.
The wacky superimposed shot at 2:51 is of the extant Paramount Building at 1501 Broadway, followed by a shot of the entrance to the Manhattan Bridge from under the Third Avenue El.
At 3:08, we're traveling south along the Hudson River, with a nice shot of the Standard Oil Building at 26 Broadway just north of the old Produce Exchange Building (later replaced with the modern office building that was featured in Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT). The shot ends at the Battery.
At 3:48 is an overhead shot traveling north on Fifth, passing the Flatiron Building on 23rd and a small, oddly positioned parking lot in the middle of the avenue near Madison Sq Park.
After that, at 4:22, we're traveling south, looking east towards the 59th Street Bridge and Roosevelt Island. Many of the stand-out skyscrapers survive today, including the then-just-completed New York Central Building at 230 Park Avenue with its large pyramidal roof.
At 4:46, we get a couple shots of the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River, the at 5:28, then switch over to the Hudson River with the Woolworth Building on the left side and the Art Deco NY Telephone Company Building on the right. After a couple more river shots, we get some easterly shots of the Woolworth Building at 6:31, with the Municipal Building and Brooklyn Bridge behind it.
At 6:56, we are looking west at the fountain in Washington Square Park (back when vehicular traffic was allowed to pass under the famed arch). It's followed by a shot of Sheep Meadow, shortly before all the livestock got shipped out to Prospect Park.
As night falls at 7:37, we jump to Harlem and a view of the old black and tan nightclub, Connie's Inn on 131st Street. It then ends with a couple night shots of Times Square. (Thx to gluecement)

Would you like to live in the 1920s???
I'd go back to live then, but only if I had all my vaccinations up to date. There were no antibiotics yet, and smallpox was still a threat.
Yes. If I can take some antibiotics with me and some notes on which stocks to buy.
RCA Radio, General Motors, US Steel, AT&T, and Goldman Sachs. Buy them all on a points margin, then sell out completely in September of 1929. However, doing so may alter history, and you could cause the Depression to happen earlier! A better get rich with time travel would be to go back to the early 1900's and invest in Oil, Electric Companies, and IBM when it formed in 1911.@@jec1ny
one week would be enough and then tick the right numbers in the lottery and wait 7 days 😂😂
No
The guy filming this in the plane had some major courage. Cameras back then were big, clunky, and heavy. And airplanes weren’t even enclosed yet so you’re just hanging out the side of a plane with a hefty piece of machinery over 1000 ft in the air. One slip and you’re toast. So crazy.
I'm guessing it was an airship.
Probably was a bi plane the way it moves about so freely. They were well trained with the heavy cameras and planes in the first world war. You can watch the clips of them flying over the battlefields. Particularly in the aftermath of the war. But yes. An engine failure and that was it. It was the pioneer aviators and lessons learned that led to so many being able to fly in the second world war.
@@BeachMongoose
I guess not 🤔too slow, too low !
Retro2A-Agreed. Every point you made was true and perhaps the operator was harnessed into place or not but most likely a side open door like a parachute mission. Too bad they didn’t continue flying South (downtown) over Manhattan as the Chrysler Building isn’t evident if one knows where to look for Grand Central Terminal and the Commodore Hotel next to Grand Central. This midtown skyline looks rather empty compared to what’s developed over the past sixty to sixty-five years. One can also see the spires of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth and before Rockefeller Center was built. I remember tourist helicopters would fly over certain parts of Manhattan into the late eighties.
What about the poor schmuck him and his camera fall on!”😮
An absolute treasure!. My respect to those who at that time make the filming,to those ,who preserve them and who restored those footages.. Excellent! Thank you👏👏👏
thank you very much ;)

Thank you for posting this
Thank you so much for your detailed descriptions! I wondered about the shots on the Lower East Side. I know my grandmother lived on Orchard Street (among others) during the first decade of the 20th century.
thank you very much!!!
From a New Yorker, perfect bullseye although I thought the office building from “The Apartment” in 1960 was in midtown.
@@OSTARAEB4 Thanks. Yeah, "the Apartment" office exteriors were at 2 Broadway. Interiors were done on sets in Hollywood.
in 1920, those towers already looked 400 years old. Lovely seeing the beautiful Singer building. Looked like it was 100s of years old, not just 20. So strange!
Terrible the Singer Tower was razed in the late sixties.
Man these videos give me a weird kind of comfort. Everyone in these videos is gone now. In a weird way I’m glad life is temporary. We live our life and then others get to live their lives. I wonder where are all the people going that day. Love this channel so much. Makes me miss my grandparents soooooo much though
According to the Bible, if you believe in Jesus and repent of your sins, you will go to heaven when you die.

Man i like looking at the good old days, thats remarkable, crystal clear and remanisant of those times, one hundread years back, thanks. Bud.😊
Old film footage is a great way to time travel.
Nass, Great video as usual. I love New York City and Chicago scenes 1920-1940's especially. Thank you.
Thank you
@@NASS_0 😉Sure my friend!
Me too! 😄
My grandparents and parents lived in NYC their entire lives. Whenever I watch one of your NYC films/videos in the back of my mind maybe I will see one of my grandparents or parents in the video. I know it is very unlikely but I look closely nonetheless just in case. Thank you for cleaning up and presenting these videos Nass. Although I may never see my relatives these videos make me feel closer to them. Merry Christmas.
thank you very much, Merry Christmas
The crispness and clarity is amazing. So much detail. Sure didnt look 100 years old.
The NASS Time Machine always delivers the goods.
Thank you as always. Loved it.
thank you very much ^^
Because it's an algorithm making shit up. Usually people in a crowd don't merge or split or grow legs out of nowhere.
When viewing old footage like this, it is sometimes difficult to connect with the idea that whatever is happening happened under the same sky and in places that may still exist today--land, buildings, streets, etc.
The subtle colorization and frame correction of your videos really gives a certain reality that seems easier to connect to than the high speed jerky black and white originals. I look forward to your shared work. Bravo, NASS.
Stunning work! Thank you.
Thank you
sheep on the meadow!!!!!!! OMG! Thank you for that visual!
Thank you
That's crazy. Nowadays many people see sheeps only in meat shop)
an unique era that will never come again
At 3:50, great aerial of The Flatiron Building where Broadway and Fifth Avenue intersect and great midtown aerial at 4:30 looking East NE with the prominent crown of the New York Central Building and this was definitely 1920’s as the Chrysler Building which opened 1929 or 1930 is nowhere. Even that midtown clip looks so open compared to today!
My favorite art deco building (the Chrysler, of course) was not there. 😂
time for me to enter the time machine to watch the video to go back in time..
Do you think in 100 years many people of the future will want to return to our present?
@@sergei6572 the thing is everything is so documented and with so much on film etc.And things are moving so fast also that it wont make any difference in a 100 years or will have interes unlike this video that take us back so far back in time to experience it when the world was so different.
Time for me to machine the time and watch the video go back.
@@mystikrebel1089 I am from Russia and I agree with you in many ways that our time is recorded in great detail for future generations. But will it be happy for people in 100 years, maybe in the distant future people will also be nostalgic about our time? Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you.
@@sergei6572 Im from the UK but maybe people will look back in some nostalgia but i doubt they would want to come back to this time just like most of us wouldnt want to go back to the 20s like in the video either.Forget that I don't even like going back 10 years . Anyway, Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you also my Friend !
Pictures so clear great job thanks for sharing
Incredible work! Your channel and restoration is simply stunning. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
incredible ....as always thanks NASS
Thank you
Thanks for doing what you do. I'm always excited with every new upload.
thank you very much
Yo its been a year glad your still showcasing these videos
If all the footage is from the same source, it's late 1929.Helen Morgan starred in "Applause" that year. There is a billboard for the movie (and Helen) in the first shot.
After the stock market crash.
This is probably the cleanest NYC footage of that era I have ever seen. My Grandparents came through Ellis Island a decade before and in the teens / 20's Grandfather & his brothers would hop the freight train from Connecticut to NYC and hangout at the burlesque houses and Vaudeville Theaters when they were kids! @7:08 You mean to tell me there were actual sheep living in Sheep's Meadows (Central Park) once?
thank you very much ;)
This Channel is a Time Machine
its fun watching these old videos just to see how much fashions, technologies and architecture changes between the various time periods.
It's hard to imagine that 1920 is now over a hundred years ago. I wonder what happened at 2:32 looks like the store fronts got blown out.
Maybe gangsters hit that place, lol.
Great view of the Statue of Liberty at the start.
Great video nass, incredible footage of new York, great work, well done 😀👍👌
Amazing what the skyline looked like then compared to today. Loved the night scenes.
25 yrs ago I worked at a recycling facility in jersey city, the opening scene of the statute of liberty showed the desolate landscape of what eventually evolved into the recycling facility, WOW!!
Magnificent, thank you
thx!
NASS Thank you for posting.
thank you very much bro
"Amazing".... the same "Sun"....that "shone" then...is the same "Sun"....that shines in "2023"... "What a "teleportive" experience"!! "Kudos" to the content " creator"!!!
You’ve excelled yourself this week NASS. Great footage of an era we only see in the movies
thank you very much ;)
It was in 1912 that the world's first electrical traffic light was installed (same year the Titanic sank). Looks like it took years to catch on.
WOW!! Hermoso video felicitaciones👍👏🤗😉🎄🇲🇽
I'd love to go back in time just to observe things and this is very likely to be the closest I'll ever get. I love it.
Excellent !
Must watch on the VR headset. Just amazing.
The thing that gets me the most in NASS videos is the fact that the people in them are no longer with us. That’s a ton of people who are gone
That always crosses my mind also. Our lifetimes are but a blink of an eye in history.
I'm sure many or even most have already come back, chose to descend back vibrationally to this dimension to fuse with another embryo and be reborn. Way too many reported cases on NDE's who don't even go all the way and come back to let us know we leave our body when we're done. If we can leave a dying body, we can enter a newly developing one. Only trouble is most of us are born forgetting our past lives, but apparently that's how it's set up and our job is to remember the reasons we came back, remember what our chosen goal or mission is and then live that life.
@@donnswaby369 yeah okay crazy guy thanks for that stupid shit lol
I was watching all those people go about their daily lives and thinking every single one of them has passed away….
Life is short so enjoy it!
I know someone says that with every video, but it really does give you an eerie feeling to know that. Reminds you of your own mortality and that one day you'll no longer be walking around going about the business of life in this plane either.
Looks better than it doesn’t today it has style
Some beautiful framing (bridges and water) and dayligh effects, great work on the color !
thank you very much!! ^^
@@NASS_0 😉👍🏻
Really cool! So much is lost but so much remains in NYC.
Wonderfull maded!
thank you very much
Another excellent job, Nass!… Although that airplane engine sounds in the beginning seem scary!😳
Tolles beeindruckendes Video.
Love this channel....
thank you very much
The statue of Liberty is built on a starfort.
2:02 How did they make the marquee effect (scrolling of text) on the neon advertising billboard (top left corner)?
It reads "Beautiful bodies by Fisher. A six in the price range of..." Was this done mechanically? Or using electrical motor? Transistors, logic circuits and electronics circuits appeared more than 30 years later, right?
A few years ago I saw a movie here on UA-cam. where its operation was explained. True, on the example of a large sign in Chicago, maybe it's easier to find that way. A very interesting structure.
Great opening scene showing the Statue Of Liberty and later ariel shots of New York still early days of flying and filming risky business too also great colour
thank you very much
Amazing stuff as usual. Okay car nuts and experts. What's the latest model by year you see to help us date this video or get close?
GREAT VIDE SUPER NASS BIG SUPPORT FROM CROATIA
This video is a treasure!! The amount of architecture being captured in time is legendary! Amazing remaster! Where did you find this footage?
Super odcinek fajnie te owce wyglądały pasące na trawie w tak dużym mieście 😊
Nice Video 👍👍👍👌
Thank you
Is this when King Kong attacked the first time?
Driving back in those days seemed like a total free for all. No traffic lights, and pedestrians just casually strolling around the middle of the street.
Thank You 😊
Very nice get travel in time with Your help 😉
thank you very much ;)
😉@@NASS_0
At the beginning of the video, I have got to wonder how there wasn't someone getting run over by a car or something every 15 minutes . I guess it was mandatory to have a lucky rabbit's foot with you when you left the house! LOL
One of the biggest reasons they started making better roads and traffic lights (also have traffic guards you see one in video) is because for some years when it first happend cars would drive alongside people walking, horse and carriage (tho more rare) bikes. According to goggle over 60% of accidents in 1920-1930 was children under 9. People would just cross regularly and get hurt. Have to relaize also they weren’t many safety rules.
Drivers license also wasn’t like today, nor was there true speed limits and ways to really test it. Not too many cops driving unless there’s a uptick in crime. 1940’s and up is when vehicle accidents really took a sharp decline. Maybe 1930’a had lower, but by 1940’s lots of places had stop lights and the cops cares were more defined. Also, had faster cars which was an issue before.
A lot of the times these roads were also meant for bikes and horse and carriages. When you started getting cars, especially big cities with dense population, it takes longer to build roads meant for cars. Cause traffic to back up and people got things to do. Small towns they could easily do it, especially since most people than in small towns wouldn’t have as many cars.
2:01 how did they make that scrolling text before computers??
You shared the road with pedestrians
7:57 how works the running light text to this time?
I wonder how many buildings have already exited and how much traffic was on the streets, it was over 100 years ago 😳
The pedestrians were terrifying to watch as they just roamed across the streets between cars. 😂😂
what power did the trams used? no tram lines back in the days
Hi Nass,, Always Great 👍 Video's 🎥 ,,,We are Flying High on this video.. What kind of Planes?? 🚢 Boats sailing under the 🌉 Brooklyn Bridge 😀 .. Peace ✌️
Thank you
Ellis Island. I took a tour of the hospital there. I seem to remember that part of the island was connected to the main island by landfill dirt made from the subway digs.
HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY! 🎄🎍🎁
How the moving picture billboard already ?
At 7:20 Sheeps Meadow in Central Park actually had sheep.
it seems the city was completed already in those day as a modern, contemporary city , rest is some cosmetic changes as the technology evolves..amazing planning , amazing effort
Very cool! Spot the Macy's advertisement @ 8:20.
Something is wrong here, what is the ?digital scoreboard? doing in the 20s in the video at 2:02 in the upper left on the building?
2:07 how did they do a running ad text line back in the day?
Scrolled the comments to find this! Very odd and looks out of place with everything else around it. Anyone got an answer?
Classic views of NYC in 1920s
When I see the long short over the water to New York and all it's skyscrapers and numerous buildings, I still can't believe where they got the time, money and equipment to build a city of this size and magnitude. In the late1800's they were still relying on horse and wagon and when they did have dump trucks they had such small shallow dump boxes it would have taken years to accomplish such builds. I bet there was a major reset and people were shifted into a different timeline.
Great comment.
The different timeline was called keynesian economics.
@@joeschmoe5583 👍thanks
At that time, there were no road markings drawn on the ground yet, so the traffic situation was extremely chaotic.
No traffic lights!
On my sony ericsson was camera of such kind. Especially in a way of night video
Качественное видео ❤😊
Dont forget to do oxford next!
ok bro
and only the sky is exactly the same
Any 1920s 30s or 40s of FAR ROCKAWAY, ROCKAWAY BEACH?
Great footage!
And to think that many of those buildings shown on Lower Manhattan have been demolished long time ago...
All that traffic and NO stop signs or stop lights! I would have loved to drive back then.
Back when we thought prices in NYC we thought was expensive, which today we think was actually cheap
We are in the 20's now. I wonder what New York will look like in 2120
The fact that they're all probably gone should make us think....
What happened to sheep being in the park
Organized chaos. Somehow no one gets run over
São ovelhas em Manhattan????,🤔🤔🤔
If I see some cars it could be end of the 1920‘s - so some born in this days could live today ✌️👍🇺🇸👏🫶
This makes me want to watch an old movie. Any suggestions?? 🎉😊
Reminds me of the arcade game Frogger!
Тогда ПДД вообще не существовало. Смотрю ни светофоров ни знаков ни разметки нет.
но все так аккуратненько )
It looks like it was filmed yesterday.
For those who care: This is October of 1929.
