Hi !
First of all, thank you so much ! Iāve been travelling to NYC from Paris, France, and stayed last week. It was my first time and i tried to remember all your good videos. It helped me avoid many scams but that is not very important because most of all you helped me having the most sensationnal week. So thank you.
Also i wish to thank all the newyorkers iāve met. They were very friendly and helpfull.
Iāll will be back asap cos a week was realy not enough !!
Yes the amount of walking myself and my daughter did was unreal…but that's how you get to see everything…
Are the double decker buses worth the time and money?
I guess I have an old school accent lol
native new yawkers talk like that. "nawimsayin" lol
you're not a native new yorker are you ?

Oh Sarah you are so funny when you do the āhardā NY accent. But I do hear it in your actual voice sometimes even if you donāt notice itā¦lol. So I have been dreaming of coming to NYC my whole life but everyone who has been keeps discouraging me saying it smells awful, there are rats everywhere the size of cats, and itās so crazy busy.
I am from a small town in BC, Canada. Some things I noticed that are so different are: people do not make eye contact with other people on the street, a lot of people smoke (cigarettes and marijuana), it is noisy almost everywhere, and do not walk signs are often not followed. And yes the walking, our feet were so sore, we got sooo many steps in! We love NYC!
I lived in that city for a year in 1974 when I was a kid
I really enjoy your videos, but if you talked in the old school accent like Sal and Q from Impractical Jokers I would probably get nothin' done cuz I'd be rewatching to hear it over and over. People from NYC might think it's okay, but I think it's very cool to hear. I've heard the Aussie accent has faded a bit too, which is too bad, but everything changes. Differences are a good thing.
Regarding the diversity, in truth NYC is like a number of other cities in that, though the population may be diverse (in terms of race/ethnicity, language, religion, education, ideologies, etc), most people tend to socialize with those who are most similar to themselves.
So yes, there are a lot of different types of people in NYC, but at the end of the day, the majority of people tend to befriend, mingle and date/marry those who are just like them. I am not stating that no one ventures outside of their bubble, because some do, but MOST do not. This is why I don't really pay much attention to how diverse a city is. It just means that there's a lot of different people, but it doesn't speak to the fact that there is a great deal of voluntary (and economic) segregation amongst people throughout the U.S., but especially in NYC. –Now I'll step off of my soap box…
study math loss with hongkongers hahaha

4:16 YASSSSSSS
The cost to park my car in Manhattan was insane. 300$ for 4 days
We New Yorrkers do have to don a bit of emotional armor when we hit the streets. But I promise you. If you fall, we will pick you up. If you're lost, we will make sure you get found. I myself have even escorted visitors to where they need to go. Here am I, your magic island; come to me, come to me.
Love the SVU Easter eggs lol
The diversity of NYC is off the hook. I love the city, but could never live there. Btw we have incredible diversity here in the Bay Area.
You have convinced me never to visit that cesspool. Thank you.
I lived in the NYC area for 30 yearsā¦ if youād have asked me in 2019, Iād have given a <1% chance of ever leaving. But āthe longer you lock down & mandate, the more ethical you areā policies, defund the police & refusal to prosecute BLM looters were inflection points regarding poverty, crime, homelessness, addiction & anti-business attitudes. Itāll take 10 years for NYC to recover, if not 20. These policies added fuel to a new national relocation trend away from legacy cities, to mid-size creative cities like Austin, Nashville, Raleigh, Boise & Boulder. Shine on, you crazy NYC diamond. Why stop now? ā how about some more lockdowns & defunding of police, NYC? Call it all āsocial justice.ā Castigate anyone who disagrees for being bad peopleā¦ again.
I'm a New Yorker who lives in San Antonio Texas. People here drive their cars to go across the street—lots of fat people here.
I am from Chicago (lived nearby for 50 years) and currently live east of LA and was in NYC recently to visit a niece and absolutely loved it. I had been in NYC many years ago and was overdue for a visit. Loved it, great food options, things to see and do, easy to navigate public transit, and friendly people. I will be back.
As a native New Yorker, I can say it all depends on who you're talking to. Of course in the Midtown Manhattan especially around Times Square, it's going to be difficult to speak to people because that's an area where people are worried about getting to their destination. But, if you go into neighborhoods outside of Midtown Manhattan, you'll get to see the friendliness of the city's population.
When someone comes up to you in NewYork NewYorkers are are sometimes curt because there is someplace to be. No time to dilly dally. In that realm Iām an old person. When walking up the stairs in the subway they climb the stairs quickly. Why? They climb the stairs all the time. They just do it quickly. Then there is the fact they need to be somewhere at a specific time. I just get out of their way.
Iām a recovering Brooklynite. One thing New Yorkers do all the time and the rest of the country doesnāt is obey traffic lights. Pedestrians routine cross against the light if there isnāt traffic. People in Seattle see me crossing the street against the light and I wonder why they arenāt crossing the street too.
