dude your tours could literally be a college history course at this point!!!! you should get hired by Infographics !!

My family lived in Morningside Heights in the early 60s for 2 years. My sisters and I went to Agnes Russell School, an experimental school connected with the Teachers College. It was awesome because the children there came from all over the world. So diverse, so fun. My mother got her Master's Degree at Columbia University. My dad was a junior editor for Friendship Press. It was a great place to live. We were always going to museums and parks. Fond memories. Thanks for the tour!

I feel like every building in New York in the 1800s was either an asylum, a tenant slum, or a smallpox hospital.

Because of this video I had to check out the Tom's Restaurant song! (Actually Tom's Diner) Never knew that was the name of it!

Discovered on my last NYC visit that the Hungarian Pastry Shop has a bathroom with walls covered with the most fascinating graffiti I've ever seen - all famous quotes by literary giants, obviously posted by Columbia students...

Love your tours enjoy all the knowledge you share with us Tom thank you

Decided to join Patreon and support this channel. Thoroughly enjoy the narrations and the venues you chose to visit.

I worked at Teachers College for 10 years and lived in Morningside Heights across the street from the Riverside Church. It was the most eclectic neighborhood in the city. The diversity was incredible and the tolerance for diversity was even greater. In Harlem you find out that it's the people who give a place its soul and each of us makes the whole greater.

Thank you so much for this video, I grew up at 44 Morning Side Drive. My dad worked at Columbia and Mom worked at St. Luke’s. It was sad to see some of the changes, a lot of trees and open space were gone but it was still nice to see the old stomping grounds.

Thank you brother, learned so much during the pandemic through your tours.. you are keeping ny vibes alive for all of us. You are my fix bro, when i am feeling depressed.

At Columbia is an unusual statue of PAN. Interesting trivia - it was originally designed to be placed in the courtyard for the DAKOTA. But it was not appropriate, so it was donated to Columbia.

The intro is basically walking in the park and some creep jumps out and calls you “Phil” and starts to give you a tour of the area

Your videos inspired me to finally find out more about my home city. Things I have walked past for years suddenly take on a new light. So thanks.

I like this guy. Have watched a bunch of his videos. I think he's got a great personality and sense of humour, not to mention an incredible, in-depth knowledge of NYC and US history in general. I hope he does well. When/ if tourism ever opens up again I will definitely give him a shout for a tour... Though I have a sneaking suspicion this guy will be a big hit by then. Deservedly so. Good luck from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀

Tom you did a fine job. I used to live two blocks from Grant’s tomb. However, you didn’t include the park across from Grant’s tomb. I believe it now called Sakura Park. There’s International House right next to the park. King Juan Carlos of Spain stayed there when he was studying here in New York City. Thank you for the memories of my former neighborhood. Would love to reside there once again.

I'm half Portuguese half New Yorker since watching tom lol. Thank u once again for an amazing video!

There are only a few youtubers that does this, brother you always got my respect and support for being so real and relatable 🙏🏾🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏽‍♀️💓💯

I just found your channel, and it's phenomenal! I'm a Columbia Alumni and this was a great tour down memory lane.

Your Mom has a good taste in shirts ....Tom the fashion icon

Great tour! I went to Columbia for my Masters, but didn't get around the neighborhood much. I can't wait to go visit the area again.

Burgess Meredith was also the original Penguin on Batman!

That’s my neighborhood. I loved running and biking in Hudson River. And the other side of grants tomb after the park is this big hill where the planes would fly over and we would lay down and count how many planes went by. Super cool.

Also "Hannah and her Sisters" was shot on Columbia's campus! Love your videos Tom!!

We don't care if when if or how you repeat stuff. You are a cool intelligent funny guy that always makes us smile and we love your videos! We always say "sick plug!" Before you say it!! Lol

Great tour. And you started it on my block and by my first NYC apt on Cathedral Parkway. As always, you and Phil did a great job. Always loved Riverside Park in the winter, remains my favorite NYC running spot.

So, I could comment on how great this video is, how well-informed the guy leading us through it, but I won't. You can see that yourself. Instead, I will just sit here for maybe 30 minutes in silent contemplation about the masterpiece I just was blessed enough to watch.

The Riverside Church trivia is on my NYC tour guide test study guide. Thanks for the insight!

OMG.... as the kids would say.... HE'S BACK ! Tom you the man !!!!!

I"ll be living in Morningside Heights for a month, so grazie for this informative and entertaining tour.

Outstanding job, as always, Tom (and Phil). The idea of “SoHa” makes my skin crawl, too.

Didn't know so much history about my school. Thanks for the great video!

Well done Tom London would love you.

I've been lucky to visit NYC 5 times, and every time I watch your videos I see things I have never seen. Roll on when I can come back again. Thanks for sharing

Outstanding Tom------great to hear the history.

Wow! This is so nice! The place is so great! Morningside Heights is such an awesome place! Thank you so much for sharing this! Thank you so much for sharing this! :)

Love you Tom! You're commentary in the intro cracks me up !!! 🔥

I always look forward to Tom's value adding content. I feel connected to him. Amazing buildings.

I LOVE the OMG at the beginning of the videos😂. It instantly puts me in a great mood

Ed Cochanski, Dennis King and the Late Bruce Bailey started the Columbia University Tenants Association in the early 1970's. The famous Columbia University owns alot of property around there and had a habit 9f removing the boilers of their residential buildings when it was time to kick out legal lease holding residential leases. Thats how i learned all about Housing Court downtown. He took me out of school.and i follwed him abound while he accompinied frightened Tenants who had never taken a landlord to.court before! It was a diversified neighborhood and the college students Demonstrations i was lucky enough to witness as a nine year old inthe 1960's. I went to PS 165 on 108th and fell.in love with Medieval.History in 5th grade. Riverside Park wins hands down in my opinion! Great video. Tom is growing on me.

The Morningside Heights walk opens with the mysterious death of two of its architects. That's why I love these walks Tom, I never know what shocking bits of history I'm going to get.

Back in the day, 1970’s, Morningside Park was considered to be a dangerous place. - the dividing line between Harlem and the Upper West Side. There were some high profile murders there of folks getting off at the wrong subway stop and having to walk up through the park at night. Unfortunately, another murder just took place this past week of a Columbia University graduate student on 123rd St. by the park. Very tragic.

That video wasn't just sick. It was SIIIIICK.

Easily the best NYC tour videos on KZfaq would love it if you done one as long as kens,we live in hope tom 🤘

Now I am craving a walk through Riverside Park and hearing Tom’s Diner. Sadly, I live on the west coast, so the song will have to suffice. I am putting Grants Tomb on my visit list next time. And the “Thou shall not poop” sign, naturally..... great video, Tom!!

He sure knows NYC history!

You have the best videos. I’ve lived in New Jersey my whole life and have always travelled into the city. It’s great to be able to learn about the streets I walk on. Thanks for posting!

Great video! Thanks

I loved the sag harbor video. I used to go there annually. I worked at Teachers College and lived on 121st for a year. I appreciate the historic details.

Awesome tour, Tom. I haven’t been to Morningside Heights in years. It looks a lot cleaner. It was kind of gritty back in the day.

Love the videos . Thanks .

Dude you are very entertaining, funny and educational! I wish you great success!

Tom. You have brought “shist” into my vocabulary and vernacular. Even just for that, I am eternally grateful.

What a fabulous tour. That cathedral is unreal. We’ve added it to our list when we come to NYC. Wow! 😍

Thanks for all the information. Lots of history there

I spent the whole video hoping that you would make it to Riverside Church. It is on my bucket list to visit the congregation that hosted MLK's "A time comes when silence is betrayal" sermon. Many thanks!
