@@LeoNicola_lnljixIm pretty sure some people like driving and some dont, i currently dont have a car or a license and i find driving to seem something fun to do.
When I was a kid, I remember seeing all of this while my mom drove us home after visiting family in the city. So watching this, brought me so much comfort now that I live in San Diego and miss home a lot. Thank you for this!
The bridge at 49:00 he went under. Only ever been to ny once. That is where we went, to get a puppy. All the way from worcester county ma. My mother had this thing for purebreds. Somewhere around there is where we got that dog. That breeder was not good, all of his cockerspaniels had rage disorders. State made us put ours down for bites and when we looked into it a lot of customers had the same issue.
As an urbanist, I'm thrilled about the Brooklyn Heights Promenade at 41:31. It's a great idea to create a cantilever over the road to extend a walking area above it, while also hiding a significant part of the noise from the road. Bravo!
I lived in the Bay Ridge Towers until 1989. Sold everything and bought a small ranch in Montana. Believe me I don’t miss the stressful life and driving. It gave me PTSD. However I do miss the food.
The Verranzo narrows bridge used in the film Saturday Night Fever. Another great sightseeing video that makes me feel I am in the passenger seat alongside you.
I use to live a few blocks away from where the video started in Staten Island, left there 20 years ago. I'm in central NY now, 15 minutes from Cooperstown. I could never put up with that traffic again. The only things I miss are the bagels and pizza.
Just came upon your channel. Beautiful day, nice steady and clear video. I love well done "Ride Alongs" around the Beautiful "Big Apple"! Cannot wait to watch your other videos.
awesome ! very nice job - I liked it so much - great views - the footage impecable - and I thought it was eaiser to go from staten island to manhattan - i would get lost bymyself - something I realized there were no motorcycles on the streets - it is very different from sao paulo , brazil - oh btw - greetings from brazil
Awesome video, great stuff, thanks for the effort in making this, looks like a beautiful day. I live on Perth Western Australia and will be coming to New York Sept/October 2024. I’ve been to the States a few times but never been to NYC before so really excited to see it all. That first big view of the Manhattan skyline, wow! Not a bad place to be stuck in traffic. Thanks again great work
@@phillipbanes5484 I have family and 100s of friends that have lived their whole life there and I’ve been 29 States of the U.S.A and thousands of times people called it The States. So that’s where I got it from 😊. Yeah I’m really planning carefully everything. I am a tour guide as an occupation and have independently travelled a lot so using that experience also, and yes that’s a bad trap trying to do too much but appreciate the advice. Thanks heaps
Keen to get back to the US too, I am fond of it. I hear Americans saying "Stateside" I can use it with my American friends. We have states in Australia but when you hear stateside, that's the USA.
When you come here, don't limit yourself to Manhattan. There are lots of great neighborhoods that you can explore in Brooklyn and Queens. As far as Manhattan is concerned, Harlem is interesting too.
Start at Home Avenue (where you wouldn't believe the prices of homes), take a right on Fingerboard Road, go to first light (there's a deli on the right), then take a left on Tompkins Avenue, then follow the signs.
That was fun. The nice parts of staten island are NOT by the Vz bridge, it's way out by Tottenville and that area. The Gowanus expressway please, LOL -- will it ever improve? They've only been working on it for 40 years..... that i know of. Maybe longer.
The one time I had an opportunity to drive the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, with the view of the pre September 11 skyline ....and I accidentally took the lower deck. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..
I've been to NYC many times for shows and to visit friends. I can't make it there as often as I would like to, and these videos give me the sights and sounds that are the pulse of the city. Thanks for posting.
NYC was the area I had to do in my first commercial truck 🚚 job. Delivery of frozen foods to various stores in the boroughs of NYC. Literally right from the frying pan to the fire 🔥 😊
I'm amazed....it took you less than 5 mins to get to Brooklyn over the Verrazzano Narrows bridge. That includes starting out on a street in Staten Island.
Parabéns campeão e por deixar viajar também, através das suas lentes, condução incrível pelas belezas de New York, Manhattan - EUA, DEUS abençoe a América, muito obrigado meu nobre brother pelo o seu espetacular vídeo.
They're very considerate in prividing lots of signs for you to read arent they. By the time you've taken in the lot at4:14, for instance, youd be well past the turning you might have wanted
Some of us it was a requirement of our jobs. Delivered frozen foods to the grocery stores in the five boroughs of NYC so had no choice but to be there 😮😊
bro not a single person actually stops at stop signs, they just slow down, if at all, or sometimes they stop on the crosswalk and block it so you have to go around them if you are crossing the street, this person did nothing wrong, if you actually stop at stop signs the cars behind you would honk
Considering the length of the video I would have thought placing a window in the corner of the screen showing a tasteful display of young ladies dressed in bikinis and high heels tickling each other would have been a perfect addition to this scenic drive.

Crazy how Staten Island is still NYC. It feels super suburban and residential compared to the rest of NYC
It looks like New Jersey ;)
Shows you how massive NYC is
Jersey Island
I always enjoy driving videos which lets me see places I've never been to. Thank you so much for this.
Looks like it was a beautiful spring day.
I love these videos because I get to see places that otherwise I would never get to see. Thanks.
I don’t know why I love watching these videos but I do and I find them relaxing… which is ironic because I hate driving and being in my car as it is 😂
Maybe you like the views, but the traffic and driving itself is stressing?
Driving is like the best thing ever. Kills time, explore new sights, hear sounds, get nice air onto your face when driving.

Is even harder in a 18 wheeler 😮😮😊
Thank you for uploading and giving us viewers a video ride along of the 5 boroughs
AMAZING!!
Verizzano-strait bridge is incredible to drive over. Its New York’s most underrated bridge.
New York City is my favourite city to visit
Close to 20 years since I left NY and now Brooklyn looks so different to me.
Looks better or worse?
Ahh a beautiful spring day in NY ❤
Very nice tour, have a blessed week! 💚✨

@@jamesjohnson1050 definitely not, doing a lot in Queens, Brooklyn and The Bronx for sure
Check out the Bayonne Bridge! It looks just like Sydney harbor Bridge without the stone pillars. It's been raised for bigger ships!🤭
2:54 - Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Completed 1964, central span 4,260 ft., longest in the world until surpassed by the Humber Br. (G.Br) 1981.
I wish there was a small map that should what Burroughs/neighborhoods we were driving through
Start at Home Avenue (where you wouldn't believe the prices of homes), take a right on Fingerboard Road, go to first light (there's a deli on the right), then take a left on Tompkins Avenue, then follow the signs.
Nice view I enjoyed the ride 😊
That's nice! Thanks for sharing with us
Great video as usual 😊😊😊😊
That was fun. The nice parts of staten island are NOT by the Vz bridge, it's way out by Tottenville and that area.
The Gowanus expressway please, LOL -- will it ever improve? They've only been working on it for 40 years..... that i know of. Maybe longer.
Thanks 🎉
okay I am visiting and I will use this route.
The one time I had an opportunity to drive the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, with the view of the pre September 11 skyline ....and I accidentally took the lower deck. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..
How hard is it to find a parking spot in Manhattan? It seems like its a lottery, looks like less stressful option is to use public transportation.
Nice you had good weather !! Thanks for the upload !!
Great job! Congrats!
Great video, I even enjoyed the traffic jam. I’m just happy that I didn’t have to do the driving myself. 😄
Enjoyed the drive. From Indiana and havent been to the city since 2001 but loved it
Loved it, thank you

The streets are well maintained. It makes driving a pleasure.
6:11There was at least 5 seconds between the traffic moving off and the white SUV moving, and not a horn was honked. What's happened to NYC drivers?!
I thought watching this would help me go to sleep. It didn't! I actually watched it to the end. Very interesting...
Love NYC how many streets have tolls i live near London UK so i guess driving in NY is just as strenuous 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Great ride.
2:26 I-278
2:45 Bridge Upper Level
42:52 Brooklyn Bridge Upper Level
Always surprises me the number of overhead lines you see in the states
Good video 👍
Excellent 😊👋👍
I'm amazed....it took you less than 5 mins to get to Brooklyn over the Verrazzano Narrows bridge. That includes starting out on a street in Staten Island.
Hefty toll though

good vidéo
40:40! Blocking two lanes for a fender bender?!?
Nice camera!
They're very considerate in prividing lots of signs for you to read arent they. By the time you've taken in the lot at4:14, for instance, youd be well past the turning you might have wanted
1:49 i dont get it. Manhattan is west of Staten Island. so why would you go East? you're not heading toward thee shore.
The view at 42:52 is ✨🤓🥹
America is paradise 😍
Спасибо за поездку👍👍👍
Nice video.
I`am from Poland and roofer from Trenton. I was here in 1986-7.
i love this
I like the traffic lights. Two per intersection per direction, overhead. No need for three, four, five, six & more oversize heads.
Why did you get off the BQE? It would've taken you straight to the bridges or tunnel into Manhattan?
You can drive from Long Beach CA to downtown LA & it would look almost identical to this video. 🚗
When I saw 42:48 I could feel that sense of awe
I want to live in New York ❤
looks like a nice day, I would have taken the ferry
3.00 - это прям как в Санкт Петербург заезжаешь по мосту😊
This is cool. You don't need waterproof cars anymore.
Wow I can not believe how spencive is the food we eat in Manhattan...😁😁😁😁
잘봤습니다. 😊👍
Would never live in NYC again, but if I did it would be Staten Island!
Ported here many o' time. Me became a panhandler for 5 years until me ole shipmate pulled me off the streets
How much is the ride ?
Why are you crossing solid white lines and crossing double solid white lines while in the freeway?
Nice video! Is this rushhour or is this normal traffic?
This looks like very light ideal commute traffic. It could be way worse on this route.
Probably off peak, cus I've seen how bad traffic gets.
It looks busier than is because there were many accidents it seems. Especially at 40:46. Why are these clowns blocking two lanes?
@robotx9285 Same here! First commercial truck job was in these boroughs of NYC. I have been in some very nasty jam ups.
Alot like south central Los Angeles
I forget about the Brooklyn traffic, now you should have taken the streets.
@22:35
I spy with my little eye something .....blue
😀👍
Video is nice. Bj Slovenia Postojna Studeno 3 a / 4

Ai all those wires above the ground is ugly .
Is the ground so hard you cant dig in over there?
23:48
Meu sonho é conhecer esse país 😍❤️
All I can think while watching this is why would anybody be dumb enough to drive in NYC.
Some of us it was a requirement of our jobs. Delivered frozen foods to the grocery stores in the five boroughs of NYC so had no choice but to be there 😮😊
Why would anyone be dumb enough to even be in NYC at all let alone driving.
“What am I? A bulimic, chain-smoking stenographer from Staten Island?”
Jesus Christ man, you already committed traffic violations within the first two minutes. Rolling on a stop sign (twice) and speeding on 25mph street!
bro not a single person actually stops at stop signs, they just slow down, if at all, or sometimes they stop on the crosswalk and block it so you have to go around them if you are crossing the street, this person did nothing wrong, if you actually stop at stop signs the cars behind you would honk

Hello 🇷🇺👋
Would be nice to see your mph
Why are the telephone wires in Northeastern cities so much uglier than in the rest of America?
the unsightliest I've come across is more mid-western Ton o' rot where rotten insulation dangled everywhere from the MASSES of overhead cabling
Same in Midwest
maybe cramping cables together due to cozier settlements..?
