This guy needs his own show on discovery Channel!!!

Love all the history you provide. Thanks for the tour!

Absolutely love your videos. So packed with facts and details and just the right amount of comedy sprinkled in!!

I grew up in Carroll Gardens, I've said this before. Take notice that from Red Hook up to Prospect Park the streets don't meet. It was meant to slow the enemy down if we were attacked from the water.

Thanks for doing this Park Slope tour Tom.

Born and raised in park slope grew up on 8st and 8th ave. No longer live in Brooklyn, but visit nyc once a year and man has the neighborhoods changed.

Ive been following you for over 3 years Tom. Im glad you're getting so many subscribers and the Patreon too. Its crazy all the knowledge u have mixed with the humor. Que sigan los exitos hermano!

I laughed out loud at “Sludgy” and then I unlaughed when you said it died💀😭

I grew up in Park Slope. I went to John Jay High School on 7th. Avenue. You forgot to mention (or maybe didn't know) that inside Prospect Park there's a Quaker cemetery and buried in that cemetery is the famous Hollywood actor...Montgomery Clifford. You know...Private Pruitt in "From Here To Eternity'.

You should write a New York history book

This guy brings history alive for the people!

It was the prettiest neighborhood I saw in Brooklyn

Superb as usual Tom 🙌🏻🙌🏻 can’t wait to get back to NY

the reaction to the quebec fiddle concert poster had me dying all mornign

Always a good day when there's a new video from you mate. We're landing in NYC at the beginning of May for our first holiday in the U.S. and your videos have been a great help - keep up the top work.

Tom I have been following you for a couple years now and this is one of my favorite videos thusfar. The plane crash story is absolutely insane, I have spent time around Park Slope and had absolutely no idea.

Great video Tom, fun and fact filled as always 👍🤘

Possibly your best work, Tom. Thank you!

Always good when a new Tom video pops up.

Loved it! Always a wealth of knowledge! & The ruby slippers at the end! 👠👠

Sick Plug! Awesome tour, Tom. I'm going to add Park Slop to my places to visit while I visit family in Sheepshead Bay.

I started watching your videos a couple of years ago for information but now I do for that but also comedy. Thank you!

Always love to see Tom’s videos pop up on my KZfaq!

TY, this is amazing walk through!

I had a friend who lived in Park Slope. Like every one else he could no longer afford it!

Loving your videos so much information about my favourite place keep posting your great 😊

Born at Methodist hospital and lived across the street from the old stone house, 339 3rd street 1st floor. Back in 1974 when I was a little itty boy I would enter that old stone house because it had no doors or windows and I would hand food to the few homeless people who would sleep in there. The place reeked of homelessness and urine but my Mom would be there making sure I wouldn't get hurt. Also the Brooklyn Dodgers back then were called the Trolley Dodgers, avoiding the trolley's that ran along 4th & 5th ave. I think Tom missed a gem .... if you just walk a block over to 2nd st and 3rd ave, parts of the existing wall still stands of the old original stadium. O' n by the way they won many "World Series" back then against team from up and down the East coast.

I enjoyed learning the history of Park Slope and the Food Coop was something new for me. Thank You, as always!

Before the Dutch were the Lenape they were the original inhabitants of south Brooklyn, as Park slope was then known. Europeans arrived in the 17th century.

I love the way you illustrate your tours with historic photographs.... Thank you Tom D !!

Great job, Tom! Most of the information in this video is new to me, so thank you. P.S. - Park Slope is really nice!

I am so happy I found your channel!!! I love NYC history. It's not taught enough in NYC schools

it was the trenton trouser snakes. funny that you freestyled that shit.

Tommy back at it again dropping some juicy facts!

This was nice, love the brownstones, would love to see inside one. The history was neat. You are funny to boot. LOL

The creepy walk into camera view at the beginning of your videos gets me every time!! 😂😂😂 I truly appreciate and enjoy these videos! I would love to see you do the neighborhood near Hamilton’s home if you haven’t done so already

these tours are great!

"You'll understand why people watch Real Housewives TV shows"..... That one line alone made this video worth it 🙂

Tom is awesome! Great video

This guy comes off as a hippy-dippy type, but once I got into this video, I could see how much serious research he did in preparing it. Lots of substance, all well done, yet also entertaining. One criticism: He forgot to cover my block! Oh well. An oversight, I'm sure.

Born and raised there. Lived on President St. between 4th. & 5th. Ave. That was in 1950 and moved out in 1995. Worked at Con Edison on First Street in Brooklyn from 1973 on. Finally retired.

Excellent Video!

Tom should do live tours w/ groups. I'd go.

Thanks for touring my neighborhood.

I remember fifty years ago, a proposal was floated to dredge the Gowanus Canal. If I remember right, one of the opponents was the Police department; they said if they dredge the canal, they would have more unsolved murders on their hands than they had manpower to deal with.

Dark Slope Brooklyn! I miss the old Park Slope from the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s!

tom you da best!

Very informative and entertaining. I’ve always loved Park Slope (grew up in Bensonhurst - I’m in my 60s now). I always said that if I ever won the lottery, I’d buy a Park Slope Brownstone. The way prices are now, I’d have to win Mega Millions $$$.

You are super cool man. Being yourself while lecturing :) New genre 🙏 Actually made me subscribe even it was just an algorithm, which randomly brought me here.

I’ve never been to NYC but heard about park slope many years ago, when reading the book “the widows walk” by Marian Fontana (the wife of a 9/11-perished firefighter). She lived in park slope.

Hey Tom! What's up! Really into Brooklyn and Park Slope as well!

Love all of your videos! I’m still hoping for a Gramercy one 😊. Unless you already did one and I missed it somewhere. I’ve looked at all your videos. Thank you!

I'm goingvto brookyn next weekend going to che k our this old fort thanks to you great video thank you

Ground control to Major Tom....Oops wrong video 😹😂 I'm a new sub..awesome videos sir... You know soo much about the big apple 🍎 and ur not even from NYC...🤔 Stay safe Tom

Thanks for sharing. Very funny entertaining factual ❤️👍

Interesting about the plane crash. Great video Tom. 😎

i worked on an extention of the hospital around the time of the covid outbreak. got to visit the stone house.. nice to know more about it. i would park right where the plane crashed . who knew? at lunch id walk up the block the other way to the park and have a toke on my lunch break right where you wrap up this video. your back is to the street and you are facing a wall to prospect park. there are benches there or id hop the wall and sit in the park. like revisiting an old friend

I've always loved that area and those brownstones. I've wanted to live in one my whole life!☺️

Tom, Can we get a Jersey City video? Are you ever gonna cross that river?

Love your History Knowledge Mr Tom Delgado. I am from Canarsie myself. that pier is very polluted indeed Jamaica bay but a bird reserve isnt far away by marine park. should go thru the trails sometime.. Love to pick your brain smarty pants! lol

I was in St. Francis Xavier school when that plane went down, it passed right over us.

Love your videos, great content. You kinda look and sound like Penn Badgley lol

My family lived on 14th St between 8th Ave and Prospect Park West for over 40 years. My mom is a Baby-Boomer who grew up in the era when it was a blue collar enclave. The old guard has nearly evaporated. I'm back now in NY for the first time in 13 years and am stoked to hit the Slope again for nostalgia. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I used to visit in the 80's and 90's pre Yupster 2.0 boom, what a difference! The block parties were the evidence of that. I got snubbed by some of the new families on the block post 2004 but we were all getting along just fine when I was a kid up through the late 90's. Connecticut Muffin in Bartel Pritchard Square used to be this great classic diner owned by my friend's dad. Shout out if you remember that and Circles Pizzeria next to the movie theater!

Good tour. So many fascinating facts about Brooklyn. A plane crash😵‍💫

A neighbor told me he bought his brownstone for 35k and there were others for sale across the street. He thought of buying another one but decided he didn't need two houses. He said that was the biggest mistake of his life. Just check the prices of homes in Park Slope and you'll know why.

Brooklyn Baseball Team played in an area busy with Trolleys. The opposing teams made fun of them by calling them Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers.

My second favorite booklyn neighborhood second only to Brooklyn Heights my third favorite Williamsburg, where I live of course😉

My mom was pregnant with me at the time of the plane crash. She was on Lincoln Pl., 2 1/2 blocks away and slept through the whole thing. She was awakened by the phone, asking if she was alright once word got out.

You Sir, are a wealth of NY knowledge. Felt bad for poor "sludgie."

Another Good one tom . wittely funny cute . 🥇

Chiclets mansion, love it

Happy 4/20, Park Slope & Tom D, Stewie, Eric, & all of NYC from down here in Arkansas!

Actor Montgomery Cliff is buried In Prospect Park Quaker cemetery.

It’s beautiful and quiet. I don’t live in NYC, but if I had unlimited cash, I’d move here or Brooklyn Heights. Manhattan is far too frenetic for me.

pretty dope . just wish we could have spoken about the community that existed during white flight.

Hey Tom, how do you manage to memorize all the history? Great job!

There is a cemetery in Prospect Park called Friends Quaker Cemetery and actor Montgomery Clift is buried there.

STEWIE! Stewie would never recommend a Matrix movie to Tom. One of my favorite throw-away jokes from Brooklyn Nine-Nine is when Boyle recommends a boat ride down the Gowanus Canal as a romantic date idea.

j'adore tes videos de NY

I got slop top in a Park Slope back driveway/parking lot area by a homeless manwoman named Mousy in 2012. Good times.

😂 You're so adorable!😅Can I come over!

I'm from Park Slope; 23rd and 4th :)

Randomly chose to look at your video. History needs to be thought from first grade. Thank you.

Trouser Snakes? 😂

I want to start a bottle water company called Gowanus Springs, but I'm not sure that it will do well.

Would love if you did cypress hills Brooklyn historic district

What brand of jacket is that you are wearing?

I grew up there 1950s-1970s.

06:00 Sachem is pronounced "say chem" (at least that's the way we always pronounced it in the old days), not sac hem. good report. as always while I am glad to see development and revitalization of a neighborhood, I am saddened by the consequences of gentrification which roots out poor folks.

❤❤❤

Hahaha Stront. Maybe more like 'Kak'

❤

governor carey lived at 2nd street an pp west then at grand army plaza.

7 ❤️ Thank U

How about covering Brownsville and East New York

Throughout its history Park Slope was also racially integrated when segregation was still the norm, which gave it the open-minded reputation it has today. Racial tolerance led to openness to gay folks, and like most gay neighborhoods in America it is clean, safe, fun, interesting, upscale, etc.

Mr Delgado ... Just ran into this video of yours by KZfaq's "roll of the dice" on what it thinks I would like to see. Usually what it "suggests" is, in my humble opinion, schlock. BUT...this PARTICULAR suggestion of your video "Inside Park Slope, Brooklyn: Behind the Fancy Brownstones & History" is great! Now I'm off to check out your other productions. Thanks!

To be precise, the NORTHWEST CORNER of the park, not just the NORTH.

And below the fancy brownstones... *CHUD!!!* Chud avoidance safety protocols and procedures must never be forgotten. Not even for a moment. Chud are ALWAYS hungry. A moment of carelessness, a very short lifetime of regret.

So that's what the Adams family's mansion looks at daylight.
