Great tour Urbanist.
I lived in Bay Ridge from 1963 until 1972.
I lived on 69th Street and Ridge Blvd.
Many happy memories.
Thank you so much for that lovely walking tour. If I could live anywhere, it would be Bayridge . I have always loved it.
Thanks so much for your informative guide around Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.. as a lifelong New Yorker, i appreciate your passion showing viewers around our great city. Keep up your labor of love.
I grew up there! It was the best place to grow up!🤗
Totally agree.
I lived there during the 60s and early 70s.
I can't believe this only has 159 Likes after three years! This is by far the best informed and most detailed walk-around of Bay Ridge I've watched. Thank you! I'm a lower Manhattan transplant who moved to Bay Ridge in 1999. Unfortunately, because of the deep dive you did on the sights you showed you only had time to cover a fraction of the uniqueness of the neighborhood.
There's so much more: the miles-long Narrows Path along the lower bay, Shore Rd Botanical Garden, Veterans Pier @ 69t St, Owls Head Park (which has a lot of history), the extensive multi-ethnic restaurant rows of 3rd and 5th Avenues, the 86th St retail strip, the amazing houses on Narrows Blvd and Shore Road and while technically on the border of Bay Ridge, the 65th St rail yard which is still in operation along with its float car pier.
PS: the roof of the Gingerbread House is just asphalt shingle. It was constructed to replicate a period thatched roof. The architectural style is sometimes called Black Forest Arts & Crafts.
I so appreciate you watching the tour! Yea Bay Ridge has so many interesting stories to offer!
Yes.
Definitely missed a lot.
I lived on 69th Street, Owls Head Park was called Bliss Park.
Spent a lot of time there as a kid.
I am glad I found your channel.
I am glad too!
Actually, Saturday Night Fever was filmed in Bay Ridge. Only Lenny’s Pizza is in Bensonhurst. They’re shut down now. ☹️
Just after you walked away from the Gingerbread House, you got a shot of the house used for the exterior shots of the Reagan family home in the series BLUE BLOODS (1:23:20). It's on the right corner: 8070 Harbor View Terrace. It's fun to imagine Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) lives there, but it's actually owned by Maronites. Cool! Loved the entire expedition!
I grow up in Bayridge, graduated from fort Hamilton H.S. and also lived in sunset park area. I use to live in 68st. and Senator avenue. and in Sunset park area i use to live on 55st between 2nd and 3rd avenue.
I was born in Bay Ridge and owned an apartment there for over 20 years. I still go there every so often - great to bike along Shore Road, good restaurants at reasonable prices and a real small town vibe. The only drawback is that the only direct mass transit option to Manhattan is the R train which tends to be slow and not all that reliable.
I was born in Bay Ridge (Victory Memorial Hospital)🧡
You should read “the secret, a treasure hunt” by Byron Preiss. You seem to have a lot of knowledge and history about New York.
You can help and contribute to solving the New York puzzle, which some people think it’s in Bay Ridge.
i grew up on 76St and 13th Ave i love bay ridge !!! or what it was in the 50's 60's 70's
yup, the 60's ...72nd and 11 ave. it was a beautiful thing,
My mom grew up in Bay Ridge. Wogan Terrace
Great shots of my old neighborhood , I grew up in Bay Ridge and left over 33 years ago , I'm now in my 60s but can tell you that everywhere you were today I have a story about , but I'll only tell you one about cannonball park where you started you're trip from , back in the mid 70s the park and recreation's dept use to give free rock concerts there and in other parks around Bay Ridge, it was great as a teenager to have great free concerts to go to , I believe they were mostly held on Friday nights or Saturday night's .
That’s so wonderful they had free rock concerts in Bay Ridge! I had similar memories but instead in the neighborhood of Williamsburg. I hope moving forward the City keep hosting free outdoor concerts
Holy crap, never knew there were concerts in JPJ Park. I used to dig the free concerts in Bliss Park aka Owls Head. The stage was by the park building and faced the big hill. Swell times with my girl, some Boones Farm and weed. During the 1970's that cannon wasn't plugged. we'd stash our weed in the bore. St. Pats church ball fields are gone, I moved upstate in 1988. Thanks for the history lesson paesano.
Yes I've heard of Bay Ridge...I grew up in Sunset Park
glad you know of the neighborhood! Sunset Park has a lot of cool places too, which I may visit at some point
I was inducted into the Marine Corp at fort Hamilton in 1969.
If I understand correctly, those houses on Shore Ct were given to civil war veterans
Sat Night Fever. The kid falls off the bridge playing chicken

pronounced Font Bon not bone FontBonne Hall my Mom went there graduated high school from there in the 1930's
I went there, too. I graduated in 1967!👩🎓
My Mom went there. Graduated in the 50s. Married my Dad and moved to Chicago. Her family remained in the area
Something creepy about you!
I enjoyed watching your video that gave me lots of memories of the homes and views. But for your video it is used of a political side and that is wrong. You didn’t give enough info on the St Johns church as to why it’s called the Church of the generals??? Instead you pointed out how a general named Robert E Lee that was taking out by local mayor. The most historic church in bay ridge visitation just closed very said. Last you didn’t bring up the most important historical area of a cemetery l. The revolutionary war cemetery that’s on narrows rd and McKay place. But I found your history of Bay Ridge not as I know it.
That neighborhood was atrocious during the 70s and 80s. It was full of cafones who called themselves coosheens.
Yeah what's wrong with that? Now it's full of Goons who don't speak English.
