Whenever I have a friend visiting NYC and they ask for a place to visit that is "off the beaten path" I send them to Inwood Hill Park and The Cloisters. Bonus: If you visit The Cloisters your pass will also get you into The MET. I think the pass is good for more than one day too, so you can visit the Met the day before or after if you don't want to do 2 museums in 1 day.
You're back, buddy! We missed you! Your videos mean so much to us! Being able to tour the New York metropolitan area and learn from your wealth of historical knowledge, all from the cozy comfort of our own home, is PRICELESS. It's like BEING there. Wonderful videos. Your Latinamerican videos are amazing, as well. Thank you so much, Tomás. 🏆
Greetings from Glasgow, Scotland. Famous Inwood son? Paul Stanley of KISS, born and lived his formative years on W211 St , Inwood before moving to Queens.Sick KISS plug…
So happy Phil is back !
I always look forward to Tom's NYC 'Walking Tour' videos! 🐐
Exceptional work as always, Tom. Many thanks!
You missed the Irish in the 50s-60s and 70s. Also all the bars. That is what Inwood was known for.
Please do a video on The Cloisters!
As an Inwood resident -- excellent video. Good history and sociopolitical context.
I'd love to see a video on the Cloisters.
Great tour again, thank you very much! But I miss a little bit the scenes/shots of you actually walking around, to be able to get some more impressions and a feeling for the surroundings, the people, the shops, the restaurant and the daily life in general of the neighborhoods you are exploring.
14:00… this Cloister’s segment is very cool.. right near Cabrini
Thank you Tom, such a great way to spend some time. 😎
Good morning Tom. Awesome video. I really hope you do a livestream sometime. You put a lot of amazing research into your content.
Hey Tom! What's up!? So excited Phil is back and the tour as well! Another sick one!!!
It was a very interesting tour. I saw things I never knew existed and the ending by the water was exquisite:-) 🧚♀
Tidying up something insignificant like a traffic cone shines a light on your love of New York, thank you for leading by example!
The best as always!
Never been to this part of Manhattan. Looking forward to checking it out myself. Great video and thanks for all the information.
Love this, grew up in heights/Inwood.
gr8!
Awesome video Tom. Sick plug
I really enjoy your vids but you left out Linden Terrace in Fort Tryon Park. Linden Terrace is a big favorite for peeps to sit and watch the sunset, do tai chi, sit and take in the view of the Hudson river from a high elevation and also has Linden Arch which is pretty cool. Thanks for all your vids!!
the cloisters has the famous unicorn tapestry
That’s right!
That modular apt. building looks rickety. "Mom..I moved up to Inwood, and I'm living in a converted shipping container! And the rent is still $2000 a month"
Live here all my life, in Inwood...Kareem Abdul Jabbar aka Lew Alcindor of the LA Lakers, grew up in the Dyckman Projects and played in the basketball courts there; Tubby Hook was another name for the Inwood Section of Upper Manhattan; Yes, plenty of Irish Bars once graced the streets; there are just a few remaining;
Heather Gardens at Margaret Corbin Circle which leads to the Cloisters has a sign reading " Let no one say and say to your shame That all was beauty here until you came". Very much apropos. Dyckman Street west of Broadway towards the river has interesting dining spots , whereas, east of Broadway has a less appetizing flavor, so to speak.
The Inwood area has the least expensive apartments for rent or purchase in all of Manhattan.
Thanks for the video and keep up your labor of love.
Kareem aka Lew Alcindor lived in my projects and went to my elementary school, St. Jude's school! He also went to Power Memorial H.S. and played basketball with my brother there! my brother was 1 yr older and Jack Donahue was the coach!
I lived a few streets away from Dyckman St. My friend lived in the projects and i'd see Big Lew around the area many times.@@P.Kenney

Great informative video with humor 😊 !
Great video!
Great vid Tom 👍
Have missed your sarcastic UA-cam presence 😁 Siiiiick video tour, Tom 😊
Wow… all this history!! Thought I was pretty up to date on my historical facts of Washington Heights.. Never knew!!
Wo d
wonderful, great, fantastic, amazing, educational, supurb,, the best video
saw this one / liked it
The Cloisters! I have a painting of the Cloisters, done by my grandfather in the late 30s or 40s.
It's about time you come up north
I lived up in Inwood for 5 years when I was first out of college, on Park Terrace East. It's definitely a cool little neighborhood.
Missed opportunity for B footage : there is an intersection of Cummings and seaman ave in inwood ...
great video
He is baaaaaaaack!
9:18 this is so cool…. Never knew this!
That Broadway divider is very real. Always has existed. Kind of wild the difference. Grew up there and only knew maybe two people above Broadway. They are their own community.
Another good walking tour video, thanks Tom but see if you can do more dark side video tours bc those were dope also! Maybe even do some walking at night time and show NYC how it transitions from crazy during day time into insanity at night time LOL
Hey Tom .A voice from Cumbria. Inwoods best in winter
@10:00 Washington square park's "arc de Triomphe" : Am I a joke to you?
Thanks , Tom !! Informative video. FYI : you mentioned the Broadway divide in income. A great book that touches upon it is by Professor Robert W. Synder : Crossing Broadway: Washington Heights and the Promise of New York City. Also, a follow up on the Seaman Arch : there is a corner in Inwood called Seaman Ave and Cummings St. Can't make this sh*t up !!!
My hood. Thanks, Tom.
I lived there from 1955 to 1966!
Hi Tom need to redo a new reload of "HARLEM" aka Black Mecca again. This time a one hour time of all Harlem history from east Harlem, central Harlem and west Harlem (Morning heights and Hamilton heights areas too !) from 96th to 155th streets. 🌅🙂👋🇺🇲🗽💵❤️🚇🚍🚖🏢🚪🔑💯👍🌃
I lived in the basement of the building at 212/10th ave for 2 years. All the things… the building had never been inspected, the plumbing started to collapse (from above) 2nd week, and it was just another day to open the door and find the janitor on the ground face down, surrounded by police… that being said, some great people I had the pleasure to meet!
Never been up to this part of the city. We were supposed to drive up from NJ to see The Cloisters in the early 80s, my dad and stepmom and I, but everytime we tried it was closed,
seemingly, back then. Skrew it! LOL I hear Inwood park is pretty cool.
That’s when I discovered it. Driving up the Henry Hudson from coming over the GW from NJ. Always on our way to visit relatives in Yonkers.
@@samanthab1923 Yep going to Yonkers you would run across all that, of course. I just never got up there. I haven't even been to Washington Heights yet. I spent some time in the 70s and 80s at my dad's uncle's place in New Rochelle, that was about as close as we got.
@@thiscorrosion900 Cool. You’ll get there. What part of NJ are you from? I grew up in Monmouth Co.
@@samanthab1923 I'm in LI NY. I was in NJ a lot years and years ago cause my dad lived there for years till 1994.
@@thiscorrosion900 Oh OK. We used to go out to East Hampton when my Nan & Pop lived there. Lots of fun but a hell ride with traffic
Great to see Kevin Arnold from The Wonder Years at 13:17
Great video. I know you couldn’t cover everything. I wish you would’ve covered the Irish history of the neighborhood.
I felt the same way
i miss the 80's i was building a school. watched stolen cars being striped in broad day light. the cops would befriend the dismantlers. the coacaine sales. one sat i cant believe i wasnt there. they found 3 million cash under a stripped car. good times
The Cloisters are cool. Game of Thrones on Hudson! It's a medieval building that has been moved from France and reassembled like, stone by stone.
Born and raised in New York and I’ve actually have never been to Inwood all 46 years of my life the furthest up north of Manhattan I’ve been to is 193rd St.
PLS do a video over Forest Hills
Ty Tom, what whats about the wheather
I love the shorter hair! Now we can see your handsome face better. ❤️
Love you
Arch Automotive is an unsurpassed work of art 🤣😂
I'm just watching this wearing a sweater. I miss summer already! Don't teach children to drink from water bottles by picking it up from the street, lol. I've seen that arch, so weird they just put those shops front of it
Sandwich was a Prince of Scotland
Tom, I'm pretty sure, the Morris - Jumel Mansion, is older than the original Dyckman House.
Tom never said it was.
1765 Morris-Jumel, 1784/5 Dyckman Farmhouse.
Very haunted 👻
@@samanthab1923 Very !
Is Cock Hill, near the corners of Seaman Ave. & Dyckman or, Cummings St., one big pile of schist rock ?
... figures
yea, potty humor like the chair in 6:11
11:05 Tom glancing to his left then right: " ... what do you think Phil should we keep it moving?"
Phil: "Yea, let's get out (of here before we die).
You forgot about 207 yd. It was a cemetery as well
Sorry buddy, Inwood begins at Dykeman so the Cloisters is in Washington Heights.
What's red lining
Similiar to Corlears Hook Park, birthplace of the hooker, was Tubby Hook, Inwood, near Seaman Ave and Cummings, Dykeman (yeah, an oxymoron), o.k. Dyckman, Streets a place for longshoremen earning some coin ?
you protect your neighborhood with your pocketbook
Dyke man???😂😂😂😂😂 you're the best Tom 👍👏😊❤️ Thanks for posting
Dyckman St@mikedrown2721
Dyke Man, oxymoron
Dyckman St. is adjacent to the corner of Cummings St. and Semen, er Seaman Ave. near Cock Hill.
@@vincentgoupil180 yes, I was just about to write the same comment. Seaman and Cummings St intersect off Broadway.
@@jessedylan6162
Since you live in Inwood, from a previous comment, might be interested on the online "New York Tours By Gary" blog. It has a well written two part article on Inwood including Tubby Hook.
Misc. Does Dyckman Street also intersect Broadway ?
i'm also a Licensed Sightseeing NYC guide. I've been giving tours for 25 yrs .lol, but thanks for the suggestion. Yes, Dyckman intersects Broadway; Seaman intersects Dyckman and Cumming St intersects Broadway.@@vincentgoupil180
Humm, great video! Being a native NYCer, I was taught in PS 64, that Peter Minuit bought Manhattan from the Cropsey Indians in what became Bowling Green Park (in 1624)
Maybe you're conflating the Lenape's name with the notorious Cropsey Maniac?
167°C ?! You would be dead. Water boils at 100°C under normal air pressure.
I grew up on 181st. Basically in the shadow of the cloisters. To this day, I still believe the cloisters, and fort tryon park together are the best piece of property on the island. You can debate me on this, but you will be proven wrong. Love the video, but I would have rather seen the cloisters in the Washington heights video 😏
Yeah, isn't Fort Tryon Park (and therefore Cloisters) part of Washington Heights? I never lived up there, but I've been there and I always thought Dyckman Street was the border. Fort Tryon is a great park, as is Inwood Hill Park.
Yes, Dyckman St is the border between Wash Hts and Inwood..@@Alex-fx5es
How can i know if I'm "latino?" Is there some sort of blood test?
lol, it's not Manhattan County's northern most nabe. Marble Hill acrooss the Harlem River is. That Nabe is on the mainland like the Bronx that surrounds it. But it is part of Manhattan County and borough.
I can't believe you didn't say "Manhattan schist" a single time.
👏👏👏📽️🌿🍵🕯️🔥
You left out that Inwood was predominantly Irish in 1940’s-1980’s! That’s what this neighborhood is most known for!
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS
Interesting and entertaining Tom----I like history. But Please-------It is time for a shave and haircut as you would look better.
Tom - Unfortunately you missed some of the key elements of life in Inwood during the past half century. First Inwood was for many, many decades a hard-core Irish neighborhood. In the 1980s the area was chock full of Irish illegal aliens, many of whom were involved with the terrorist Irish Republican Army. That of course brought lots of FBI agents keeping eyes on their comings and goings around the clock!
Now on a much lighter note, you also missed mentioning NYC's best immature giggle-inducing spot: the corner of Seaman Avenue and Cumming Street! Yes that's an absolutely real place just north of the Dykman farmhouse.
9:22
@@vincentgoupil180 I'm not sure what your 9:22 comment refers to, but it certainly doesn't allude to the corner of Seaman Avenue and Cumming Street
@@johnscanlan9335
El Incorrecto
Similiar to 9:22, 4:03 where Tom admonishes Phil regarding Cock Hill, he is aware of the intersection of semen and cummings and the adolescent names.
You're not the first commentator to make light of this.
0:22 No!
🗣🤒🔌⚡️ #LaPlugga🔌 🙋🏽♂️🧭
1:22 i thought the purchase was made at lower manhattan
Babe Ruth kind of looks like Shane Gillis
I love people like you who bitch about rent but never want any new housing built
I’d be more worried about having a moped with 2 armed gang members rolling up on you and robbing you at gunpoint. That’s more like what goes on up there as opposed to some deliverance type stuff.
16:25 - This isn't true. Inwood in the 1970 census was 91% white and 7 % black. It was also 95% renter. From 1970-1980 the Hispanic population went from 2% to 50.4% squeezing out both white and black residents. People in apartments move - often. In NYC it's every 3.5 years on average. When new groups come in the old groups have to make room for them. How else would it work?
John d Rockefeller Jr. Kind of looks like Elon musk...I'm done😅
The audible sigh that begins these podcasts is off putting. If you so dislike doing these things, then don't do them!
Cool video but the incessant mention of liberal ideas on neighborhoods wasn't really required, an unbias take could've worked.
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
