RIP Barbara. She seemed like a lovely, talented, witty lady.
So terrible what happened to Barbara Maier Gustern
RIP barbara The minute I heard about her attack and heard of her death I remember this video of Tom interviewing her and talking about her passion as a vocal coach. I hope her killer get caught
26 year old woman was arrested today.
Such a joyful lady. So sad.
Love these tours; in fact, I use them as a study to make myself a better guide. Thanks Tom, you are an inspiration!
Cool, thanks, I appreciate it!
@@tomdnyc1 Tom you have the best information. Hope you become a RICH you tuber. You deserve it. I was born and raised in Chelsea, and I learned a lot thru you. Thanks! Maestro! My old address was: 233 west 15 street, bet. 7 & 8th avenue. N.y. N.y 10011. I wish I could afford too still live their. Thanks a trillion, for all the do.
I just read the news about Barbara today, a day after seeing her in this video. RIP Barbara. NYC lost a spark.
You are one of the best NYC guides on YT.
He surely is.
His knowledge blows me away!
@@josephsmith5410 He's a trivia freak. Would be great to rent him out on these tours live. Probably expensive if a go, but worth it. NYC by immersion.
Yeah that’s fasho 🦍
Love your tours so much information .. The information you give helped me out recently when helping my daughter write about new york for a school project so thank you...
The honor and the privilege of speaking with such a famous New York icon... She was such a delight. So glad you had the opportunity to make such a memorable moment for yourself and us. I will admit there were tears... Thank you so much! (Not sure how I missed this video) ...
Congrats on 20K followers, Tom! Great job as always!
I was born and raised in NYC, and your videos make me feel like I don’t know NYC as well as I should lol. Time to explore! Thanks for these very informative and cool videos!
One of the best UA-cam channels out there. Deserves to be so much bigger. Being from Glasgow(Scotland), you see a lot of similarities between the 2 cities - especially the gentrification.
Y'know every time I watch a NYC tour video, it always makes me desperate for a slice but where I live here in The UK there are no good pizza places, it's criminal.
Really? I thought here in Europe we had Italians sprinkled all over the continent :o
Fun Fact: my friend lives in chelsy and got a PS5 like me!
PS5 Party at Langston's, everybody!
Yes, just had my Covid jab, the sun is out and we have a new Tom vid to watch. OMG, SICK....
Sick plug for the vaccine.
I had my jab in May. No microminiature device in my blood stream has gone to my brain and turned me into a mind-numbed robot.
Enjoy your videos. Staying the Chelsea Hotel next month.. will look for that delicious pizza!!
I've lived in Chelsea co-op for over 32 years, moved there from the east village in 1989 but was born & raised in Williamsburg Brooklyn before it was ever cool. Anyway, I want to compliment you because many people who do tours of Chelsea give incomplete & incorrect information. However, your tour gets 5 stars imo, it was the best most complete & accurate tour I've ever seen in a Chelsea virtual walking tour. In addition, I've learned a few new things I wasn't aware of Iike where Thomas's English Muffins were made, the oldest building in Chelsea where the Le Grainne Cafe is located who I might add has the best French brunch in all of Chelsea, with the best Nutella & banana crepes & Cafe Au Lait giant bowl of coffee. Bravo, good job! Looking forward to watching more of your tours.
Agreed 1000%. Nutella & banana crepes ? O Mai! Sounds delicious...Having a project receipe moment here!!!! TY Elena :o) Bon joure`(sp) ldl
How safe is Chelsea? Im considering getting an apartment there. Thank you for sharing. God bless 💪💯
My father, born in 1918 was born and lived on W 24th st, went to St Coumba Catholic School on W 25th St. then high school at Xavier Academy. his father was NYPD,
Where are the trees in Chelsea? RIP Barbara Maier Gustern.
We literally catch every video but never comment (always watch on our TV) but figured to start to just say thank you for always making these videos so funny and entertaining!
That's so nice - I appreciate it!
You blew my mind, I didn't realize my favorite English muffin was born in Chelsea. You are amazing. I use your posts in my history class presentations. I hate my textbook, you make my students focus and learn. Thank you so much.
Fun fact: in the book that inspired the movie "Angel heart" Harry Angel leaves at the Chelsea hotel...
Really? Didn't know the movie was based on a book. Still creepy. DeNiro 👿
I grew up in Chelsea. My dad was vicar (pastor) of St. Peter's from 1961 to 1973. The neighborhood was very different in those days. It was working class, and most of the brownstones were either divided into apartments or run as rooming houses that served stevedores and merchant seamen. Our block was mainly Irish and Puerto Rican. In 1963 there was a rumble between an Irish gang and Puerto Rican gang in the church gym (now the Atlantic Theater). It was like something out of "West Side Story!"
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Always nice to see you 😉🙃
LMAOOOOOOOO Tom falling after eating the slice of pizza was unexpected😂❗Great video of Chelsea tom and the slices look epic.
Proud Alma Mater of SVA & NYU. Best six years of my life! Where is Goldberg Pizza 🍕 on 3rd ave?
Thomas Nast didn't invent Santa Claus. He just re-imagined him. The image of St. Nicholas was originally portrayed as a thin, gaunt man with red leggings and a black coat. The gift-giving personality was there, but the look was more akin to an old man sharing the last of his fortune and generosity. It was meant to be seen as an opposing figure to the mean, old miser.
Thomas Nast took the image and turned him into the fat, jolly old man with the big beard, red coat, and red hat. He did it for a publication that he was hired to draw images for. The pamphlet was meant to cheer up the troops fighting at war and was intended to be distributed at camps throughout the South.
Pizza Suprema sorry.
35 $ for a margarita pie.
In Napoli the price is 5 € and it's
the original.
the Foundling hospital 590 6th ave has a crises clinic nursery to drop kids off to cool off, ask for the crises nursury
How safe is Chelsea now?? Im considering getting an apartment there. Thanks for sharing
Good tour. Unsolicited feedback. I'd like to see longer interviews. Barbara was Blondie's vocal coach! That needs to be explored a little more. As Phil Donahue used to say, "You have to mine the gold" when he would go into his audience. Still giving it a like.
Barbara is a punk rocker!? 🚀
Yea, *agree* , being a vocal coach for Debbie 'Blondie' Harry could have been a leadin to a video in itself.
("Ask Danny", on YT, interesting movie with anecdotes of his times.
Feinsteins' mother paid $3,000 for Tommy Ramones drums.)
Debbie Harry was from Hawthorne NJ. Now living in a retirement community in Lincroft NJ
Almost everything in New York is "used to be" The Chelsea Hotel used to be a magnet for artists....Maybe cheaper rents will bring back artists and other creatives and take NY back from the philistines! We can only hope.
I bet you stole Darla’s Tupperware!!!
Shhhhhh...
You’re amazing , I don’t know if I’ve mentioned before but I’m obsessed w you and this entire channel! So much knowledge, I love your sick plugs , 10 out of 10!!
Took my son and his BF to the Chelsea Hotel for a week 10yr ago this past August for his birthday. On our last day I woke up in the middle of the night and prowled the halls. One floor had a small hallway off the main hall which lead to another apartment. Those were the days when Chelsea combined both hotel rooms and private residences. Intrigued by this adjacent hallway, I walked in and was examining the many framed photographs, when I heard “something” in the main hallway just around the corner from where I was standing. I remember thinking it was odd that I didn’t hear any approaching footsteps, and I also was very mindful of the Chelsea’s reputation of being haunted. Instead of quickly looking around the corner, I guess you could say I woosed out, and by the time I gathered the courage to look, naturally there was nothing and no one there. Gotta admit I was wandering the hallways iso a ghostly experience. I understand that about a week after our stay, the Chelsea stopped honoring reservations and sadly closed for remodeling. I feel really lucky to have been able to stay there at the end of an era. Those of us who were fortunate to have stayed there will always have precious memories to hold.
RIP Barbara 😢
"Well, better late than never 😮"

Another fantastic video full of New York/Chelsea information and it's famous and not so famous residents. Love the interview with Barbara. Commenting 10/26/23.
I’ve followed and the unfollowed many a’ tourist guides, but you young man I will continue to follow because you are very entertaining and informative!🥰👍🏼♥️💯 and very easy on the eyes 👀 😉
Great video! Must try the pizza place when I come back to NYC.
I grew up as a teenager in the Penn South co-ops. RIP Barbara.
nice video & 'Chelsea Hotel' stories, but would be interresting to hear if the renovation work is finally over, after all these years of terrible incidents...
Tom, you're still the best !
I admit. I am obsessed. Too bad I am married with kids. Lol 😂
Lmbo😅🤣😭...when Tomas fell over after taking a bite of delicious 🍕. He is hilarious! This is why I enjoy his tours. As you learn the city & history, he makes it fun too. 🍎📚🥰
Thank you for these tours, Very enjoyable to watch from way out here in the Ozark hills. Such a different world.
Poor Barbara. She's delightful in that interview. Sharp and sweet.
Tom once again saving me from lockdown sadness. Thanks for opening this virtual door to beautiful NYC!
lmao at the "big booty". haha "no mask, no booty"!
my cousin lives on 26th and 10th i literally was in chelsea every weekend. still have some friends there. chelsea forever!!
rip Barbara
Sick tour
These videos are really funny, you should become comedian, don't you agree? Ha ha ha, love your videos Tom, saludos desde Argentina.
Rest In Peace Miss Barbara.
This make me sad for Barbara. But what a great tribute to her. Learning about her as a person and not a news headline.
I went to nyc in 2016 and went to a gallery night to get some free wine and nibbles, I ended up watching an hour long live art theatre type piece of a naked man awakening in a sand pit and weeing in it eventually. it was intense .. One of my best New York memories .. the wine was good too!
2:00 Tom saved you fifty-eight minutes of waiting. That's why he's such a swell guy.
That wasn't an art piece - it was a guy who had too much of the free wine.
Performance Art...Avant-Garde some bizarre stuff,
Looking forward to this.... I stayed in the Cambria Hotel in Chelsea last February.
Very nice.
Many artists’re presently living in NYC!!
What a fascinating place!
Thanks for another cool tour Tom. Interviews with locals are also pretty attractive.
Finally! Chelsea knows how much we love her! I've stayed at the Chelsea and wrote an Audible Adventure about it. Great tour, Tom!
Chelsea is appreciated!
Hello-- been watching bunch of your videos,, and must say very interesting. Compares to a show that I’d expect on a history or cable channel.. up there with Bordain & Mark Roe…….. Much respect & sucess….. God Bless!!! J-Walez- BK/NYC
Woke up , It was a Chelsea morning! You should mention Joni Mitchell who wrote that famous song that Hilary Clinton named her daughter Chelsea after. Joni also had a fling with Leonard Cohen there. Lots of sex, drugs and rock and roll in the sixties, Grateful Dead as well as other west coast rockers.
May be of intetest
*Hotel Albert* 23 E 10 st, now a co-op, had a history of being the 'lesser' Chelsea for writers, artists and rock musicians.
See their website Hotelalbert.com
with articles.
I totally forgot to mention the Joni Mitchell thing. Oof, I always forget something!
Barbara’s got jokes!! 😆
That pizza did look good...
Friendly regards from Holland/ The Netherlands, Tom.
dank je!
I think if you add the map route you take with clips, it will help people to visually see the route of the tour
hi tom i subcribed...i believe deedee ramone lived there .....could you or have you done any ramones stuff? would love to see early queens/forest hills stuff.......have been to nyc...love it....have done cbgb, before it shut down.....anyway great stuff .....keep seeing places i have been.....but your local and know the proper stuff.
Hey there, good one again. Camera work is improving in my opinion, Phil should be ahead of you more often, makes for nicer images. Maybe take it a bit slower (and I don't mean the facts lol), but sometimes it feels like you're rushing through the scenery. Take it slowly at impactful spots, then make up time in editing if really needed. Also, and I know that is totally budget-related and may not be something you can change on the spot, but in the long run get a camera with better dynamic range, it would really help a lot. Anyhow, bonkers as always! Cheers!
Thanks a lot, Pierre. Yeah, always trying to improve the vids. Learning everything as I go and trying to keep upgrading the equipment.
Why do people make fun of new jersey ? It s a real question. I live in europe and I have no idea..I d like to understand the joke ...
I'm in Australia and I've often wondered the same thing.
It's jealousy since NJ has space
New Jersey has a large transplanted population from the city and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
So, they're very similiar.
Just a silly little rivalry
Omg as the bambinos would say
Ahh, ya did Chelsea proud, Tom! I am starting to really love these interviews. I come from a city where we need to disguise pizza with mounds of toppings. Can’t wait for a legit cheese slice!! Great video!
Thanks a lot, Stephanie! I am loving these interviews too. I am thinking some of these segments in the future could be extended and stand on their own as videos!
@@tomdnyc1 Absolutely, Tom! Also, maybe consider doing the Spanish speaking interviews in two languages so you have a Spanish version for your second channel? I am thinking world domination here ...
Counterpoint, Terminator 2 and Star Trek II and Empire Strikes Back are all sequels that surpass their originals.
Pizza Suprema IS THE BEST PIZZA - Chicken Bacon Ranch Slice ALL DAY! (Be My Honey is great too!)
The start of the pizza interview just sounds like. a (movie-style) courtroom cross-examination
I was shocked to see a report on the senseless violence against an elderly woman and recognized Barbara Maier Gustern from this video. RIP Barbara.
Looking very nice.
Reminds me of something’s specifically in downtown stuff paul
all I found was insults about Tom Brady! Your videos are so well done, don't waste your time watching other NYC walking tours. Eric Montalvo
As usual, nice one Tom nailed it! 👌🏻! I planned to come in 2019 but, something got in the way. It now looks like September 2022 will be the most sensible option now 😖🥺. On the plus side the number of people that may also be able to join me is growing 🤑🤗😉. Keep grinding away, the rewards WILL come, from this side of the pond here in England (🇪🇺Brexitland). 🍻
I have watched several of your videos and have subscribed. Great Videos and information. How are there so few people out and about when you film.
tom you're so funny. :) always a treat to watch your videos; I get the tour of a place I'll probably never go to, plus your humor! I chuckle several times each video. LOL
Fun fact: Whoopi Goldberg's real name is Karen Johnson.
Your re so funny man,,,don't you ever think about write a stand up show??
I have a weekly comedy show in NYC - @whatelsecomedy - Come!
Yeah,, I'll be glad !!,,I`ll be there in September, ..
You are a refreshing taste of NYC. Thanks to Phil too.
Thought you were going to forget Sid and Nancy...but should have known better.
Thanks for spoiling the movie Titanic for me!! You had to say the boat sank!? I picked that movie up off ebay just to watch it tonight with my fav. cousin! I hate it when people ruin a movie like that!
By far, you’re my fav YTber! Love the way you present the history and stories of NY.
Oh my goodness.that is the lady that was assaulted and died.Beautiful woman. RiP.

Dylan wrote "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" there, which he mentions in "Sarah."
She's been there since 1974, wow. I bet it's rent-controlled and she pays next to nothing.
I’m here for the intro
Didn't realize that the vocal coach Barbara was the one that was so callously murdered, so sad.
So. Much. Concrete. Wow. Great video, thanks.

This is exciting to hear, walking tours are back to NYC! I think Sarah, Louie and the attorney turned comedian turned High Scoring NYC tour guide Tom ... are awesome ambassadors to the Big Apple!
