I used to live on East 86th st at 305 East 86th st with my Aunts back in the 60s and 70s. I love NYC. But haven't been back there in 42 years. I love your video walking down East 86th st. Thanks for taking your time making this video. Brought back a lot of memories for me. I live in Florida now. My Aunts passed away haven't had the chance to go back to NYC. Seems not the same with my Aunts not there anymore. But I will always love NYC. Maybe one day I will visit the city again be so nice.Have a GREAT DAY AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO
Eine wunderschöne Stadt und ich bin immer wieder beeindruckt von der excellenten qualität deiner Videos. Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland A beautiful city and I am always impressed by the excellent quality of your videos. Many greetings from Germany
I've lived in this neighborhood my whole life, but I love muting these videos, watching them at .25 speed, and looking at it from a new, slower perspective.
This is another of my favorites. Exiting the subway and walking across town on 86th street. As always, 4K resolution is astounding. However, please, do not burn yourself out! You have been uploading an astonishing amount of great videos in the past several months, and it's very valuable. Thanks, and it's greatly appreciated! However, by all means, if you love what your doing, go for it. You have many thousands of followers who enjoy every minute of your work! As I have said before, you have changed the way I watch video with your new concept! Important stuff you are doing here man!
Thank you, for your long walk, and finaly the park and the east river. It is not only about a big city. Its like we would walk by your side. And this amazing video quality. (Greetings from sw germany)
First of all I like your channel do much. I'm in California and have never been to NY before. I like that you take us all around NY. It's a pretty big area, all the places you've taken us. I like the subways, all the shops, walking by restaurants and in the rain.. it's pretty neat 😁 I don't know if I could keep up with the fast living and pace of NY though. So much to see I love it !🎉😀 Thank you I look forward to every video I'm subscribing right now, this is great.. I'll be watching 👍😁🎉
Paula Tristan that's perfectly OK. most people who live in New York haven't lived there their whole lives and don't live at a super fast pace like the born and raised New Yorkers.
Everyone develops that fast pace walk and lifestyle within 6-12 months and if they don’t some of them phase out but most people I know adjusted easily it just becomes your default walking speed and lifestyle speed after a while
Nice quiet Sunday in the park/city with ActionKid! I love the parks you have there.And the pigeon got it's 15 seconds of fame! Thanks again for another excellent video.
Dude on the corner of 86th and Third was the Papaya King eatery! Specialize in , at one time fresh squeezed orange juice, papaya drink and delicious Hot dogs! That are had RKO and Lowes movie theaters and fee others! Went there when I was a kid in 1958!
Thank you for sharing another amazing look into the daily life of New York 2019. Is it possible (or perhaps you've already done it) for you to capture THE DAKOTA BUILDING and it's surrounding area? I'm a huge fan of THE BEATLES and it would mean alot.....Thank you!!
Went to NYC manhatten stayed up on 94th upper west on Broadway the new York bug bit me hard, I fell in love with the place, your videos are unreal and make me want to go back ASAP, keep them coming boss
I love this video, but I could not live in the big city because of the amount of walking required to get anywhere. One day I will visit and relive the scenery shown on these marvelous videos. I’m running out of time, though so I’d better hurry. Nice work.
ActionKid I appreciate that, but my remark was more in a comparison mode. Here where we live we get in the car to go to the corner. We prepare for the hot weather we will experience between the front door and the car. We pack a suitcase if our journey is going to take us a few miles away from our neck of the woods, and worry about the copperheads slithering in the backyard. People in the big city seem so comfortable walking, so peaceful, so nice. One day!!
23:21 @ActionKid please note my favorite eatery, Gracie's on 2nd before I started eating home cooking relocated from 1st Avenue & 86th. They still have not demolished that building yet although Gristedes next door has been 26:42 demolished. Can you do another livestream in the neighborhood? I live with my Filipino wife five blocks from the mayors mansion. Thank you. We really love your videos
I think I would rather live mid-block on a side street like 86thst than right on Park ave because it might be quieter. I wonder how well those apartments on Park Ave of 5th ave are insulated from street noise since they cost millions. 61 east 86th st at 6:41 looks like a good location. I would like to go into one of the classic prewar coops and see what they are like. It would be cool to live there. Have you ever been in one of the prewar coops or apartment houses?
The pre war brick buildings are the best. High ceilings, thick walls, massive wooden doors (See apartment in Rosemary's Baby as example. Perhaps the real Dakota as mentioned below). A pure guess on my part is the minimum cost for 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment today would be one and a half million with maintenance 900-1,400 a month.
I really hope someday I visit new york. If I exit the metro and walk like this here, I will get robbed in 1 minute hahahah your videos are great! From São Paulo, Brazil
They had benches (now flower gardens) in the medians on Park Avenue up until about 1990 where the rich, elderly, well dressed (mostly women) would sit on nice days. I always enjoyed watching them from the bus or walking by. The benches are gone, and so are the elderly. So sad because it made you feel comfortable with the cycle of life. Can someone explain why?
my route for today is to that area, but on the upper west side !!! ... haha incredible !! ... 😱 with this video I will also visit the upper east side 😄 What coincidence!!😱👌👏👍💝
I think you would love this movie that's was a blockbuster for its time and was based on classic 70's NY. It's called "Taking of Pelham 123#. Starring Walter Matthau. Has so many gritty cool only in NY scenes and the stereotypical NY attitudes of the era. Think you would really enjoy.
Are you a born and raised New Yorker Action Kid ? Wow your blocks are looooong ! Ours in Cali are cut in half ! Have you been to Cali ? I'm just curious ( nosey) if Iay ask your age😁 keep up the great work 👍😁
Interesting how here on the LES you have to jump up and down and yell to get a cab, but on the Upper East Side you just have to wave your finger in the air.
I get about an hour of battery life with the Fusion and about 50 minutes with the GoPro HERO7 Black under 4K @ 60FPS. Battery prices change and you should visit websites for updated pricing.
No idea, there is an orange sign attached to the pole. Usually there are parking restrictions whenever the signs are present and perhaps those cars are exempt from them.
Hey, I love your videos, ESP when you can hear all the street noise, it's so beautiful.... I was always wandering where famous people live in Manhattan, so cool I miss that place so much, thank you for sharing each video. Take care! :) keep filming 📹 :)
I've never been to New york but it seems like the taxi business is good there it looks like it would be difficult to drive for Uber or lyft with that many Taxi's
marcos chavez actually the taxi business is becoming obsolete because they can’t go certain places with out approval so this like Uber can go from time square to jfk and all the busy places were Texas are restricted to different zones of the city

Many greetings from Germany
Its a beautiful day for a Sunday stroll, so relaxing, not just to see the video, but all the natural sounds that go with it.
Omg, I am so happy watching your awesome videos!!!
Your videos are not only great for city sights but also for people watching. Great job!

You usually don’t have to walk very far. NYC has a great public transportation system and taxis are very frequent.

Many thanks. New York City is a great walking city? Just out of curiosity, do you have a film of The Cloisters?
Yep, it’s a very walkable city. I did a video of Fort Tryon Park where I’ve walked by the Cloisters.
@@ActionKid Thanks. visited the Cloisters more than 40 years ago... Great Museum....
It is very interesting when you walking through one street 😊
Very interesting views 😊 Especially I like small house at 32:48 😊
Thank's for sharing 😊
I watched your videos before I went there and now after I´ve been there i do like them even more. thanks
upper east side. the thing you hear frequently on Gossip Girl. haha! Those green roof(?) thing!

Hi ActionKid. Really beautiful city. Thanks for another great video. Greetings from China.
Cool video
I really hope someday I visit new york.
If I exit the metro and walk like this here, I will get robbed in 1 minute hahahah
your videos are great! From São Paulo, Brazil
No you'll be just fine. Enjoy!
Great walking tour! 👌🌆🌆

Some Posh Buildings On The Upper East Side. Action Kid , your guide ! Enjoy !
I liked the view looking over the river toward the two bridges, I felt like I was just there (your recent video, Queens)
Gracie Mansion, federal architecture, love it
my route for today is to that area, but on the upper west side !!! ... haha incredible !! ... 😱 with this video I will also visit the upper east side 😄 What coincidence!!😱👌👏👍💝
You should visit both sides 😎
@@ActionKid So I will,, have a nice Sunday💝
i went there in NY, i took a lots of pictures, i gonna go again for video.
It is definitely a great location for that.
@@maunster3414 yes it's very nice city, massive tall building everywhere.
I saw your reflection in the glass in the subway! LOL
i like the narrated video more although this one is still bring back memories !back to my time in new york!

That’s such a great movie 🎥
@@ActionKid it is isnt it. That was an awesome era for movies
Do you wear GoPro on your head? What's your rig like?
Edit: Sorry, I'm dumb. I saw your reflection, you carry it in your hand.
love love love
Looks peaceful and pretty! Not too many homeless here.
Except around the subway there a few homeless
Keep it up ... and I’ll keep watching
I ❤the upper Eastside
Me too 😃
Almost feel like I'm on the streets for real, thank you A.K 😁👍
Are you a born and raised New Yorker Action Kid ? Wow your blocks are looooong ! Ours in Cali are cut in half ! Have you been to Cali ? I'm just curious ( nosey) if Iay ask your age😁 keep up the great work 👍😁
Yup, I’m a native New Yorker who has been to Cali often 😃
Thanks ActionKid !!! 👍👍👍

Ok man, I put my sneakers on and I come with you! 😂
Many thanks as usual....
Ciao. Renata
Is the subway platform a multiple stories underground structure?
There’s 2 levels in that subway station: Upper for the local train and Lower for the express train.
@@ActionKid Thanks for the info. Clever engineering.
Would you say, that along Madison Ave are blocks of apartments? I see many people walking their dogs. I think they live in the apartments.
This is true thank you for sharing 😀👍
A great video!
17:10 Note the completed building with the relocated Chase Bank and the Old Navy location circa July 2020
The upper West side deserves to be roamed 😊 your next destination maybe 🤗🤗
I have several videos on the Upper West Side already 😊
Do you have a video of just various street venders and what they are selling? Thanks!
I don’t have a video specifically about street vendors.
Brill thanks again. Have u seen anybody wearing your t shirts yet whilst on a walk?
No, that would be a miracle since not too many people purchased t shirts 😉
@@ActionKid maybe a tote bag then hopefully you will soon
Good morning actionkid!!💝
I like your videos! I’m from Chicago 😃
Awesome video still!!!
Fantastic !!!
Great video thanks 🙏
WONDERFUL AREA ALSO WORK THIS STATION
We go here for the shake shack! 👍
I want to invest in a scaffolding company.
I know me too I even inquire into it with an already "open" scaffolding company.
You should talk about the area , shops etc☺that'll make the video a lot more informative
Maybe I’ll narrate this video in the future 😊
@@ActionKid 👍👍
Awesome 🙂
8:30 are the cones on top of the cars supposed to communicate something to the owners, or did the cone man just have no fucks left to give?
No idea, there is an orange sign attached to the pole. Usually there are parking restrictions whenever the signs are present and perhaps those cars are exempt from them.
So here is the base of the millionaire
Hey, I love your videos, ESP when you can hear all the street noise, it's so beautiful.... I was always wandering where famous people live in Manhattan, so cool I miss that place so much, thank you for sharing each video. Take care! :) keep filming 📹 :)
Action Kid, what kind of gopro are you using? Videos are amazing. Very clear.
I’m using the GoPro HERO7 Black. My video equipment is listed in the video description.
you got wonderful parks in NY
Okay, I give up. What is with the orange rubber cones put on the roofs of parked cars?
Most likely a company with a valid permit to be in those spaces. I noticed an orange sign; usually they come with parking restrictions.
In your opinion... how long would one need to visit NYC to see the top sites?
It all depends on the person’s style but I think 5 days is a comfortable pace to view most of the top sites of NYC.
BIG APPLE YOU ARE SO FANTASTIC🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽✌✌✌✌✌😎😎😎😎😎
I've never been to New york but it seems like the taxi business is good there it looks like it would be difficult to drive for Uber or lyft with that many Taxi's

Amazings videos
Love it
such a beautiful city though...
What is the cost of average apartment in one of those buildings? They all look pretty much same,so any of them?
There’s many different prices. You can check out real estate websites such as Trulia to get a gauge: www.trulia.com/NY/Manhattan,5260,Upper_East_Side/
9:28 was guy on the bike gave you the finger?
NightSociety nah he’s just saying good morning
No, he didn’t give me the finger. I think he was calling out to his friend.
The sub in NY seems small compared to others.
How many homeless did you see? My hubby forbids me to go to Manhattan now due to homeless/mentally ill touching passersby.
I didn’t see too many homeless on this walk.
Love your vlogs mannnn much to you from.morocco
Ok was it just me or did anyone else see the lady disappear at 3:04?
It’s not just you 😉 I started my camera up later and added a transition to the scene.
