It looks like Chinatown is the place to go for fresh fruit. Wow! I can't wait to find out about your mystery trip to parts unknown:-)
Authentic Chinatown!!!. Fantastic !!!
Loved Chinatown when I visited - bring's back fond memories. Thanks for sharing
That light pole has seen its day ! At the 6.01 wow all the neat items outside in the sidewalks! Hey safe journey and be careful in your tours!🧰
Thanks!
You sure know how to tease your viewers by starting your video off inside a bakery. 😆😋 2:52 八 Ba (Number 8) sounds similar to 發 Fa (Prosperity). I personally find it interesting that many Chinese people associate the number 8 to wealth just because of the similar pronunciation. It makes sense why they started their businesses on 8th Ave. It was nice seeing all the local markets, eateries, business, and lively activities in Brooklyn, Chinatown. 😃 Thank you for sharing this informative walk, AK! 🤗
Love your videos and streams! Are you uploading any more videos of Manhattan on 5th ave/Central Park or Lower Manhattan anytime soon?
This was fun to watch. I have never been there. Hope to see it sometime.😊
Thank you so much for watching!
That fish jumping was trying to go back to the sea😂😂
It was nice to see another beautiful cherry tree. The flopping fish made me sad but the seafood selections are amazing! I enjoyed it AK:-)
Actionkid is known in all 5 boroughs. Fuggeddaboutit.
Nice looking neighborhood ,lots of street vendors fruits and etc….2:16 ,busy streets and lots of people on the move , informational and great walk 😎Overal enjoyable walk 🙂Thank you for sharing A K 🙂👍!!!
You’re welcome, there’s always so much activity here
this makes me miss summer so much ugh everything looks so lively
Actionkid which is your favorite Chinatown in the counrty? I like for NYC I like Flushing Chinatown and I like the Philly Chinatown
❤
Are the shuttle buses free ? It would be neat if you can take the shuttle buses to show the route and where it goes, maybe start a conversation with the locals that take the shuttle bus!
The shuttle vans aren’t free. They’re generally less than $10
Have you tried Durian AK? If so, is the taste worth the smell? And how does one separate the two? lol
The main one. Manhattan Chinatown.
I enjoyed this walk. Fun to tagalong.
Happy you enjoyed it!
As this Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown eventually evolved into being the largest Fuzhou community of NYC, it has had a lot more attentive recognition for the Fuzhou culture whereas the original firstly emerged Fuzhou community in Manhattan's Chinatown has had a more limited attentive recognition due to the fact that it is not as large and concentrated like Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown and it is mainly concentrated within the eastern end of Manhattan's Chinatown, which is a more isolated part of the Chinese community with less attraction to visitors and tourists. Unlike Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown now has a much more limited and diluted Cantonese population and they no longer have a Cantonese concentrated community like they once had, which is what contributed to the Fuzhou community in Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown to get all the attentive recognition, Manhattan's Chinatown still has a large Cantonese population including especially their long time established large Cantonese Chinatown in the western end of Manhattan's Chinatown and being that it is the earliest part of Chinese community to emerge, it has long held the status as being the pedestrian business center for the Chinese community as well as being the visitor attraction, which has allowed the Cantonese community to continue to have most of the attentive recognition for the Chinese community like it traditionally has always had when they used to be the majority of the Chinese population until the 1990s, which has limited the attentive recognition to the Fuzhou community in Manhattan's Chinatown and also gentrification resulting in the slow declination of Manhattan's Chinatown is also not helping.
Where are you AK? Waiting to see where you are going to pop up this time??? Hope you have a safe trip
You will have to find out later
How does anyone know what Korean/Chinese vegetables to buy? What do the various veggies taste like?
3:03 Number eight does not mean “good luck” in Chinese but means “get rich” or “good wealth”.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I just saw the Chinatown video in Seattle.. WOW!! Looks like its on life support compared to Brooklyn Chinatown. Theres always this invisible energy in Brooklyn. Many Asians are moving into Bay Ridge as well. Practically all of South Brooklyn has made a shift towards Asians relocating.
i like traveling too if i am not busy though i also have my favorite hobbies and hate certain stuff.if i don't like it because is scary
Bensonhurst is where I had been lived for over 24 years until I moved out last November. Bensonhurst is close to the Bath Beach has great waterfront view.
8th Avenue, Sunset Park close to the Prospect Park but waterfront space is very limited and the water is highly polluted. Sunset means dead, it is not a good place for me.
Avenue U, Homecrest is part of the Sheepshead Bay close to the Midwood, but living cost is more affordable.
Manhattan Chinatown is in the downhill since younger people moved out.
Flushing is highly populated and commercialized, but only good for shopping, not an ideal place for living.
Good points!
Where are the young people moving to?
@@waitaminute2015 : They moved to Texas, Upstate, Staten Island, Marine Park, Mill Basins that are more affordable.
The older mid-age persons that I know, a few of them moved to Bensonhurst and Gravesend from Sunset Park.
Some of my relatives moved to the Staten Island, and Woodside, and I personally moved to Midwood because I want to live close by the city.
@@City-Hiker got it. I don't blame people, but I guess I'm just nostalgic for the way neighborhoods used to be, separated by ethnicities. This can be a negative thing, but I think the benefits of retaining culture and having a sense of community are important. Now people are separated by income and live in a different kind of bubble. Thanks for your reply.
@@waitaminute2015 : Well. When you watch the wildlife documentary movie, animals moved from North to the South, crossed the river to river and forest to forest for survival.
Today, many New Yorkers living paycheck by paycheck. They rent a house with a few roommates together if they are single. This won’t happened if you live in your own country.
When you look at the Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Navy Yard, Crown Heights. those where traditionally Blacks and Hispanics communities now under gentrification pushing a lot of local people moved out and replaced by the richers. Traditional local Hispanics and Blacks are force to moving out of the neighborhood.
Sunset Park and Gowanus are also under gentrification. Some people wish to move out, but due to lack of language and technical skills, they afraid of moving out.
Since the living cost and rent are always going up. When the price going up and the younger people not able to afford, then they will move out.
You're teasing us waiting for you to reveal your travel destination.😋 Could be anywhere...like Honolulu, Cancun, Copacabana.
Which Chinatown in New York is your favorite anyway
I like Manhattan’s Chinatown the best because it’s the original Chinatown in NYC and the most centrally located.
It looks like a rural China downtown in the early 2000's.
Do you see any choose three food places anymore, like buffet style
@Eddie Yee there is one in Flushing and it's great for $9.. it's a pick 4!!!
@Edward Yee
I’ve seen some around!
Hey AK, wait you in Peru ;)
Every neighborhood is either Chinatown koreatown or a little Bangladesh
Reason why I ask, is that they are supposed to be more healthy and have great nutritional properties. Some even have magical properties
try shittake
@@eddiew2325 ok. but it sounds like something that might affect my intestine the wrong way. BUT...if it gives me extra energy ( i do security work, 12 hours shifts and sometimes I have to get to my assignment early on morn and get home by 630 pm...!) need to not be tired.
Those people wearing masks 👀
try walking there fish smell dirty smelly sidewalks motor bikes on sidewalks overcrowding etc
🍰🧁🍮🍩
Lots of people still wearing masks???
Seems like 2021 with all the masks.
This Chinatown is not for tourists.
I’ve seen some tourists here.
Can you say why not? Im traveling soon
@@debrasternhagen6598 I walked the whole length of 8th. There's very few sit down eateries only bakeries. The businesses were small. In Flushing, there's a lot of food courts and other places to eat.
Thanks Kenneth! Good info
you Korean?
Gibt's in New York immer noch Maskenzwang? 🧐
nein
