As a New Yorker born and raised here, and someone who just recently found your channel as of this comment, Thank You Very Much for making all 3 videos and visiting here.

I was able to visit NY for the first time ever last December and I’ll never forget it. It was magical, chaotic, fast paced but perfect. Not a place to go and relax but it is so nice to visit!

Wow - it's great to see you in my hometown. I've lived in NYC my entire life and you summed it up well. You would fit right in here Norma. Your home is my vacation spot twice a year. Thanks for switching with me!! Love all your video's.

So cool that we have this video of Norma and Ben. Rest In Peace, Ben. You will be missed. 🙏

You're right on the money Norma. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 60s, and most of the cons existed back then too, except that it was way less expensive to eat, see a show, stay at a hotel, see attractions and park. And having access to a bathroom always seemed to be a problem, even back then. I live in Henderson now and love it, but sure do miss those New York bagels and pizza.

You belong in Las Vegas it’s so weird to see you in New York be safe hope to see you back in Vegas soon

What's great about this video is that I can listen to it in the car for content and come back again to get the visual feel for the place. Twice the entertainment value!

I lived in Brooklyn and worked in the city at Highline Ballroom for nearly ten years. It is definitely a love/hate relationship! You love to hate it, and you hate to love it! If you live there on less than $150,000 a year or so, you _will_ struggle. When I left back in 2014, my rent (in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn!) was going up from $1900 to $2400 per month and I just couldn't do it anymore. It was too frustrating to always feel like you were living hand-to-mouth and not really saving any money for all your hard work. I *loved* the food and the dive bars, as well as being on the very pulse of the newest music. That's what kept me there so long. But, after a while, with the costs ever rising, I needed to move on. I miss my friends, the food, and the music ... but I don't honestly miss the city.

That's what I love about the city; there's always something different each time I visit! It's always an amazing time🔥🔥

As someone who has lived in both Vegas and New York, I love this video. You’ve captured the City nicely and I miss it now!

We've gone to NYC many times since 2015 as we had family in Brooklyn. Your list is so accurate. One of the funnest things we always do is just get on the train, pick a neighborhood and check it out. So many local things that you can just blend into away from all the touring crowd. Stumbled onto places to eat and chill as well. Midwood Flats in Brooklyn has probably the best hamburger I've ever had. Also, I'd recommend Ayza Wine and Chocolate Bar on W 31st between Broadway and 5th for food and drinks, we go every time!

Hello Norma, I am a big fan. This video is great. I love how you make it so relatable to your followers, me. I went to NY after 9/11 and it is still a busy city. Best place is central park, such a peaceful place. Keep showing more good places to eat and visit. Following you always

Norma! Loved your comment about "all the good looking people". I first visited NY in 1976 and was blown away by all the handsome men. Several subsequent visits have confirmed my opinion that NY City has the handsomest men in all the world. I'm too old.... but for the rest of you... GOOD HUNTING!!!

I enjoyed this video of New York, I’ve never been there and was nice to see what to expect as a tourist. Also that Bagel looked so good!😋

Loved watching this video. I’m a former New Yorker who just moved to Las Vegas for a new job and it was a pleasant surprise to see some of my favorite places in my old city again! I squealed when you went to Best Bagels! It’s my favorite bagel place in the city. I used to work right across the street and the staff knew me by name!

Born in Staten Island in 1954, being a city boy when I started working in the city in 1973, I’m very impressed with your video. You hit all the important points about the city, well done Norma.-By the way, the dollar pizza place, between Broadway and Seventh Avenue on 40th Street is awesome.

Great video Norma. Love this and your Vegas ones. Thanks for hour tips, pros and cons. Can’t wait to see more travel videos of yours. Stay safe.

I visited NYC last year for my birthday and it was the best trip I had ever been on!! We had so much fun!! The city life, the atmosphere, the food and the people are just a vibe!! I definitely don’t miss the subway. Lol! My friend convinced me to take the bus from the airport to the subway and I hated it lol I had like 2 luggages and it was a struggle until this lady kindly opened the door for us so that we could get inside of the subway station. Lol. One time we ended up in the Bronx and even though it was broad daylight I had never clutched my purse so tightly. I was desperately trying to get back to the right train. Lol. Other than that I loved everything about that trip and plan on taking my son next year.

Norma, this is ur BEST video yet!!🤗 The videography was BEAUTIFUL and INVITING!! (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 GREAT job Ben) And ur assessment is 💯 accurate, this WHY so many of us New Yorkers live in Vegas!! lol 😊 There has been so many negative things said about New York during the pandemic and post-pandemic!!🥺 I really enjoyed seeing u showcase NYC with such enthusiasm!!🙏🏻(Hope u got home safe after yesterday’s thunderstorm!!) Love u girl!!💕

It’s time to walk around Milwaukee! 😜

100% on the bicycles! With the amount of delivery bikes and a ton of them being the electric ones that go 30+ mph, you have to keep your head on a swivel.

I visit NYC twice a year visiting family. Pros: Billboards in Times Square at night, water taxi and ferry rides, walking the Brooklyn Bridge, museums, variety of foods/restaurants. Cons: Can't think of any other than the cons you mentioned in this video.

I had a feeling you were coming to NY for your vacation. You can see from my comment 2 weeks ago. I work by Herald Square and go to Best Bagel and the 99 Pizza place all the time. It would have been so cool to see you. If I showed you around the city you would have more pros than cons.

Norma, I have never been to downtown Manhattan but I have been to the New Jersey side. I was close enough that I could see the tops of a couple buildings over a hill. Great video Norma!!!

I live in Northern NJ less than an hour from NYC. I used to love going to the city but with all the crime there now I won't go because it's not safe. Random shootings, stabbings, people get pushed onto subway tracks, 16 year old attacking police. The place is out of control and needs to be cleaned up. I'm glad Norma is safe.

You're underway with your new journey to provide useful insight about your travels. Well done.

Norma breaking the #1 tourist rule of NYC…walking in people’s way and filming. 😂😂😂

Hi, Norma...; I live on a ( working cattle ranch ) in Montana and the contrast between New York City and Montana... is night and day. I actually liked and enjoyed my visit to New York City, and your list was spot on, correct... So much open space in Montana and so little space in New York City... I remember walking around tall skyscrapers, and people were telling me... there are unbelievable tall skyscrapers... that block the ( sun ) all day. That was some experience... since Montana is called; "Big Sky Country." We see the sun all day... * Excellent video and very informative, and thank you for sharing the video... * You are beautiful as ever and, of course, "Bright, intelligent, and attractive." Your friend always.., Mike in Montana P.S.: "Would I return to New York City ?"..., my answer is..., "Yes !" When you ate that huge delicious sandwich..., I had to raid my refrigerator... I am happy you took a vacation and visited a great city to visit... Watch out for those bicycles... Mike in Montana :)

I always use buses, subways and trains in large cities like Bangkok, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Cars are LAST resort. Get a transit card! Thanks Norma!

Live 10 minutes from NYC. It's fun when you're going for a the first few years you go there but it gets tiring and you try to avoid it after a while. Most people love it or hate it no in between.

We visited NYC for the first time in February. We Loved staying at Edison Hotel. So close to the theater district. Very cool for Cameraman Ben to pick you up at the airport and Collab on this. Oh and when we were in NYC we got the service of Go Hybrid Pedicab. The driver was amazing. booked it im advance and paid after the tour. $50 pee person for 1.5 hours. Completely worth it. He took pics of us along the way. My daughter sat on the same rocks you sat on in that pic. She was excited to see that part of your video.

I love itttt!! ive been wondering about moving to New york and who better to do a KZfaq video in NY than my ABSOLUTE fav!!! Thnx Norma!😊😊😊

Wasn't sure I'd be interested in a video that wasn't about Vegas but you're a great virtual tour guide so I really enjoyed this one! Haven't been to NYC since the 90s, this vid made me want to go back asap... well maybe after a few more Vegas trips... ;)

NYC is great city to visit for sure. Love Central Park and have been to all the spots you visited. Museums, shows, but yes it can add up quickly. Thanks for a great video outside your home base.

I was just in NYC and must have missed you! -Fellow Vegas resident

Just got back from my 2nd NYC run! Based on Norma's recommendation, I booked the Hotel at Fifth Avenue & found it to be everything she said it was- small, but clean, comfortable, quiet & at the heart of everything! If I didn't walk, a bus stop was right out at the end of the block & the Herald Square Subway Station was nearby.

I love visiting NYC and was so happy to see you do a vlog on it. I hope you visit NYC more often . Good advice for the first time visitors, especially about the humidity and lack of public bathrooms.

I see Ben the camera guy who works for He Be Barr is helpiing you ou t.Great! He seems like a decent guy and is a talented camera man. I live in Connecticu t,so I am 2 hrs away from Manhatten. I used to love to go there for the theater and food. I'm glad you took a trip to a different city .Maybe you will seek other one's out.

As a fellow Vegas girl I’ve been to NY a few times and I love it there! All my days were spent outside exploring/eating. Averaged about 20k steps a day 😅

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! I live in NY and found your channel because I was planning a trip to Vegas last week but couldn't get a flight out so decided on a "Staycation" here. Didn't think I'd be watching you again but this was very timely. I would recommend a rooftop observation deck in Hudson Yards (West Side) called The Edge. Very cool and lots to do and see around the area. How you enjoyed your trip. Come back around Christmas time, it's MUCH better.

Great video 😀, watching from South Carolina 🌴. You make it look so easy until I saw your bloopers at the end 😭. I'll be following you for sure 😊. Have a good day.

I think you just can't beat the food and museums. My secret sanctuary there to escape the madness ? The Chess and Checkers House in Central Park. I've always followed Anthony Bourdains' food advice in regards to the city... even had a meal at his restaurant Les Halles, when it was still open.

This video was awesome sauce. Happy you enjoyed my hometown. I love your videos

Hi Norma -I always enjoy your channel , and your smile-I’ve always lived in NY, but in Long Island, not the city -I used to like the city , lots of great events there, but there used to be a line about it -“ great place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there”-much more crowded now, much dirtier, and MUCH more crime-I know you have your street smarts, but please be careful in NY, esp with your valuables , and even in the subway -I know you like chaos, but you don’t want overload of that! Btw, you look like a native nyer with the way you tackled that bagel! If u want to know about LI, give me a shout out- -best, David from NY🐑🎼

Click you heels Norma & take me back to Vegas.!!!.Thank you for showing me what I don't want.!!....All I can say is, "Pretty good Livin' out west".!!!

I see you and your Vessie's made it through the storm! Waterproof Vessie's

I’m from westchester, NY but now live in Vegas… I love Vegas for the scenery & weather and more chill atmosphere but I do miss NYC there is no other place like the city in NY for fun! Best thing to do if you live or wanna stay in NY is staying about 25-30 min away from the city to live less of a chaotic life style but then you can visit the city on days off. I like the city to visit on weekends not to live.

It takes a little time to get adjusted to NYC. If you thought that was crowded, that was nothing. We’re still in a pandemic and probably 50-55% of the work force is still working remotely. Plus it’s the summer time and a lot of people take off during the summer so traffic and crowds are probably 10-15% lighter than usual. There are so many pros to NYC that it would take a whole series of videos to go through them all. Nice sampling of different spots to show off the diversity of the city! Can’t wait to see how much other content you got while you were here. Too bad it was the fake you that accepted my offer to take you on a shopping spree in NYC. That could have been fun! LOL! Hope you had a great time visiting! It was so short! Glad you met up with some friends!

born, raised and still living in queens, ny since 1980. There's still many things I havent even done or visited yet.

Yeah, traffic is a Bitch around 52nd Street and Central Park, when i traveled New York i love to leave the Hotel on Sunday, and grab a big ole Hoogie and a tree, just to people watch. There used to be alot of Arcades on 7th, but i bet all that is gone now! Nice trip Norma

have only visited nyc once but love the informative content on nyc

Wassup Norma...i really enjoyed the flow of this travel video, your camera guy got you in some great shots. Hope to meet you in Vegas for Grannyfest

Great video Norma, when you mentioned the smell I thought right away how I feel the same way walking the strip in Vegas and you walk over a man hole sometimes it smells just awful.

Another amazing vlog! 9:29 😂😂😂😂

Being a movie lover and living there as a kid in the early 90s, nyc is my favorite city during the holiday season. Throw in some snow and it doesn't get much better. I avoid it at all costs any other time of the year though

I've been many times and you did a great job of explaining the basics that are very helpful. Thank you.

Welcome back NYC. I see that you borrowed Ben to be your cameraman lol. The most iconic park Central Park is the place to be. The perfect chaos lol 😂 awesome video Norma.

Hopefully you had some hot tea 🍵 last night . Enjoyed the live last night . That lightning was crazy. 👍😊

I was born in queens New York my experience living in this city was mostly great the queens area is definitely more peaceful than Brooklyn and Manhattan and this city is heavily based on it's culture like music, fashion, games, the way you talk etc

Visited NYC in the ‘80’s. Traffic was actually flowing from the airport to the city. Met a few locals that were in love with their hometown 🥰

Norma, next time you come to NYC - you have to stay in Queens. There's so much to do here and we have so much diverse food here. You don't need to go to Manhattan to enjoy NYC 😋

Great advice for those going to NY for first time, pretty much agree with all the advice you gave. My pet pevs with NY is how small and tight everything is (hotel, restaurants) and the smells... I was LOL when you said that! Nice to see you do videos outside of vegas!

Love this video. You should come to Miami in the winter for your next out of Vegas video.

I wish I knew you were coming to my hometown because I would have taken you to the SPOT. LOL. Ebonics for places only New Yorker know about. I hoped you enjoyed yourself here because NY has changed so much in my 60 years of life. I was in Vegas back in October 2021, celebrating my 60th Birthday. I didn't know about your channel at the time. I knew about Pompsi and Jacob channel, so I was hoping to run into one of them. Now that I know about you, I will be looking for you too on my next visit. I hope you had fun here.

Whoa! The big apple ! Awesome skyline! Thanks for sharing the experience, Norma!

Hi, loved the video. If its an option to get to ur destination then I'd recommend the NYC water taxi. It's a fantastic way to see the NYC cityscape. The fare is that of a subway ride.

Norma doing bigger and better things! Rock on!

I really liked the "b" roll shots. They were well done.

My fav city in the US! And Ben was ur cameraman he is funny on that Barr guys channel 😃

“A different experience every time” just like Vegas!! We never have the same experience twice!

Ben's the man!

u r a celebrity now. u made it. u had it in you all along. u can go anywhere and take your (growing) yt audience along.

Visited NYC many years ago. Don't think I could handle it nowadays. Thanx for sharing. Safe travels.

I wanna check out nyc must be busy there a lot of traffic and Norma you still have a beautiful smile

From living in Vegas almost all my life to now living in NYC for the past 2 years, bronx specifically. This is mad funny dead ass. Lmao I agree in many things and disagree with a lot of things in this video.

Hope you enjoyed the nyc Norma..... Next time visit the museum of Natural History... Hope to meet you ✌🏿 😁

Love to see Norma in NYC more, maybe during Thanksgiving and Christmas time would be fun!

I visited NY on business for a number of years. What I learned over the years about NY: #1 Best restaurants. #2 You smell NY before you see it. #3 Best on and off Broadway shows. #4 Amazing city to visit, but not live there.

Now this is my hometown! I could have given you lots of tips and tricks!

Total missed opportunites for pros, just by watching this video (I've never been) but ; Pros 1. Architecture 2. Talented street performers 3. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York was filmed there 😂😂😂💖💗💕💕💕💕🙏💖💗💗💗Much love Ms. Norma Geli.

Thank you for all your videos!!! Your videos are becoming more and more interesting from the beginning to the end (specially the post-credit section like the Marvel Films)

Seeing Broadway Norma, nothing like the Lion King. Also street food vendors, fun food.

Congratulations on 100k

Norma you did great describing the city. I'm a native here and it is definitely a love hate relationship with my city.

If you ever do another NYC video please leave Manhattan. We have a beautiful park in Brooklyn called Prospect Park, and the Brooklyn botanical Park and the Brooklyn Museum. Also the New York Botanical Garden is in the Bronx. Anyway I’m glad you had a nice time in my hometown.

Thanks for posting a New vid about New York don't know if I will ever go there, but with your vid I'd get an idea of the experience

I liked the video, the cons aren't all bad just things to be aware of. Well done, it's cool to see you somewhere new! Travel well

Great video , thanks for taking us along with you !!!

I worked in NYC for 20 years commuted 5 hours a day from Connecticut

Great video Norma! Just like Las Vegas, I love New York for the amazing food and people watching

What a great change in content. Thanks. You can go anywhere since you don't have Vegas in your channel name. Well, you can go anywhere if you did; it just makes more sense this way 😂 Fernando (SuperfriendsNYC channel) went to Vegas a few months ago & now lots of us watch his channel too. I hope you get NYC people to watch yours now.

Hi Norma! Let’s go to Tokyo next trip if you love big city!!! Discover why Anthony Burdain loved for!

I’ve lived in Brooklyn for almost 10 months already. Even though I have a decent paying job and work a lot of hours still feel like I’m hemorrhaging money. Tolls and speed cameras are brutal. Also the metro will rip you off when you use the turnstile if you miss the sensor. You definitely need to budget for tolls and traffic fines. Speed cameras everywhere. Tolls everywhere.

That looks fun! 😀

This is my favorite hotel location so far. I definitely am going to book this hotel again

Great video! I love NYC ❤️ I've been there a few times on vacation. I loved the hustle and bustle.

Awesome Video Norma I have never been to New York Thank you for Sharing it with us

Just scan your debit at the turnstile much easier and then there’s always a door you can push on the other side to let tour friends and family in for free!

A fine job touring a city outside your area of expertise. I can't wait to see the next city you choose.

Pros, going this Christmas from the UK. Cons, taken me 16 years to return.
