This man does a great job presenting! He seems like a guy who quit a career in a high-paying job to keep his sanity and follow his dreams. His knowledge of NYC seems so complete, he could be a tour guide.

If Tom taught history in a college, his classes would be jam packed.

I was in NYC a few weeks ago and I was thinking about how cool it would be to get a personal tour from Tom.

Once again, I freaking love when Tom yells us!! I die every time he tells us not to interrupt him!! Bahahaha!! And yes, I know I need to reevaluate my childhood...😅🤣🤔😬😂

Tom, when I went to PA from Florida, to visit my kids I took an amtrak to penn station to walk few of the sections of nyc you talk about. Your the best with the history, comedy etc. Eric too!

Thanks Tom I really needed cheering up. Please dont give up, you and eric make a great team.

So cool to see this channel growing. Keep 'em coming Tom!

Tom you should do a “Dark Side” holiday edition. So glad you’re continuing to make content.

Love seeing Tom’s videos grow over the past few years!!! Go Tom!

Im addicted to these walking tours! I just got back from my first trip to NYC and Im dying to get back! Hello from Melbourne, Australia :)

Excellent video Tom, love the sound effects 😄 thanks!

Always happy to see a new video upload on a Sunday

Awesome video! I binged a bunch of Tom's video after I came back from my first NYC visit. I can't wait to go back thanks to the history I've been learning from these. Keep up the amazing work and have a great holiday season!

Tom, many thanks for another brilliant history lesson. Best wishes to you for a happy, healthy, prosperous 2023!

Love it Tom! Love the 20+ minute area tours… keep going baby!!

Tom, you are so knowledgeable on your History presentations. You are a "walking History book." 🥾 I really enjoy your program. Your're funny too!

Best video I've ever seen! Tom is the best!

22 minutes? Felt like 5. Thank you for your great work Tom.

The mans world line and your face afterward got me haha

the shot at 12:57 had me rolling. another banger vid tomd

I was in NYC a few weeks ago and I was thinking about how cool it would be to get a personal tour from Tom haha

Love your videos...Please keep doing them!

You're really funny and knowledgable, thank you for making these informative videos!

Awesome video as always!

Merry Christmas Tom D Legend . 🎅

Great video!! I would have never known about the history of Hudson Street if it wasn’t for you, especially those hardworking Sandhogs! very well deserved respect

In the picture at 12:39, that was Battery Place where the 6th & 9th Avenue lines connected and diverged.

My favorite Sam Shepard play is The Curse of the Starving Class. People go to Off Broadway to see something meaningful. If you don’t leave the theater depressed you must have seen a musical.

Big hello from Napier New Zealand Love your vids and immense knowledge of NY

Just got back from a visit to NYC and thought of your vids the whole time, love em!

Always fun and informative to see ur videos🥂🥂🥂🥂

Merry Christmas Tom 🎅 🎄

Always interesting 👍

Great video! Love your content. 😬

Love you ! and i like Eric, of course. Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video Tom! I used to eat lunch at the Ear Inn almost daily when I had my office on Hudson. Great food, big portions.

I loved the Film Forum when I was in NY.

Merry Christmas Tommy. 🎄

Hi Tom! Greetings from Tokyo! I am originally from NYC and we love your youtube channel. I am learning a lot about my hometown thanks to your insightful and entertaining tours. Hoping you can do a tour of Elmhurst, Queens (my old neighborhood) in the future. Planning to get a haircut soon?

great info about the history !

Thank you so much for your historical facts and your creative way of sharing it. My husband and I love your videos. ❤ Keep going. ...Sick😊

Another great piece of content 😅

Love Isamu Noguchi’s red ‘octetra’ sculpture. There were a few railroad tunnels built earlier

Haha Burrrr.... The Ear Inn is a 😎 bar. Thanks, TomD.

Good job Tom!

So many zingers in this episode. Gotta love it.

tom...enjoy the contact thanks...makes me want to visit NY every year!

You do a great job telling us all the history of these neighborhoods. Where the rent is so high. Thanks again. See ya next time

my father worked in printing as a linotypist on Hudson street as a proofreader

Diggin those gloves/mittens. Oh and the video too!!

So infromative!

great tour TD . ~ JDS/CT

Tommy D! I and your subscribers (and most important, your advertisers), were wondering when you would post again! Anyway, best to you and the ones you love during Christmas! Wayne in Manhattan

Tom is so amazing! If you're not on his patreon, you're missing out!

Hey Thomas you should make a video on the nepotism in New York whose family still doing what or owning what

Where there's theaters there's brothels and vice-versa. Soho, England, Soho NYC. Great content

Wonderful

Those business improvement districts sound rather sinister... Which may explain why one beds are renting for $4k/mnth plus. Cheers for the insights big yin!

Such a cool guy and great content 👌

Thanks again John in Chicago

That neighborhood is really nice. Lots of cobble stone streets as well

man made the electric lights so we can see in the dark!

Watching this and thought of a great idea. Show album cover spots in New York. Like the Paul's Boutique building and that kinda stuff.

Love your video and love NYC. Sorry about your Gators bowl loss (sort of. I’m a Nole who worked for UF for 12 years).

Great vid, but I wish you had mentioned that the legendary Paradise Garage was at 84 King Street, one of the greatest venues in the history of dance music & culture!

We love you #tomdnyc ❤

I hope Haru gets back to her cute happy self soon! That's got to be the most upsetting thing to go through. 🧡

Next time I'm in NYC I hope to grab a dollar coffee with yourself, Lucy + Tom

I lived on Varick Street right before the tunnel, in the 80s we called the neighborhood HoHo, for the businesswomen who practiced their vocation for the truck drivers waiting to get to the tunnel. Along the Hudson there were many old bars frequented by dock workers. I'm sure I tossed a few back from Ear and had some drinks too.

Hello Tom ,, Seasons greetings from Canada,,✌️🤸🇨🇦

Support this man

could you do a video on the glass in the sidewalks, the blue round tiles, that could be viewed from early subway underground stations. I believe there are a few remaining sidewalks with them, and areas that have the glass. *I'm not sure the historical significance, however...super interested, but when I finally visited NYC I couldn't find them (if you've made a video on the topic already, I missed it...and am sorry)

18:30 what’s with the two-light traffic signal in the background? It alternates between a solid red on top and a flashing red on the bottom.

Edward Albee wrote "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" a play first staged in October 1962. Later became a famous Movie.

I worked for Con edison and the 9th ave Subway was served by the west 59th street power house and that bldg is also protected...and cant be changed!Mckim Mead and White is who designed the outside of the power plant..

Public radio is great in every state

I appreciate the poking fun at the word "content". Whenever a KZfaq "creator" uses that word, I spit out my coffee. Like wtf?!

Hornball? First time I’ve heard that one! lol

Is the Dogpound in this? Let me watch till the end, Thomas

Hudson Square was named by a real estate broker.

I think a history of Times Square before New Years would be really cool.

The amount of small companies pushed out by Trinity church, one being mine, I have no love for Trinity Church. The Ear pub has two things I loved about, one, they had crayons at every table with a white paper table top.being a commercial artist with friends, we made great art. 2: if you road motorcycles in NYC, once a month we had great gatherings there. Game was over when Trump built a hotel there, even before he was President, people stayed outside and protested. If I’m not mistaken, they took the Trump name off that building. It was on the corner of Varick and Van dam? Check me if I’m wrong. I worked in one Hudson Square and I hated it. Traffic was always congested to get in and out of the city. I would never want to work in that hood again.

My family will be there Jan 4th-7th. Do you do private tours?

Tom, de donde eres? me encantan tus videos bro!

Very informative. Thanks! However the name "Hudson Square" has only been used over the last few years since coined in the mid 19th C. It's been dramatically expanded by developers and real estate agents and is located within the "South Village". You failed to mention the construction goings on behind you as Walt's new N.Y.C. headquarters leased from Trinity for 99 years/$650M. We residents now coin it as "Mickey Mouse Square".

Nice to know you are "listen to Public Radio" years old and you know who Logan Paul is. Sick!

Jugy fruits ah...wine gums 😁 nenoggie lol, I love them freaking sweets num num.

Take a close look at the right eye of John Jacob Astor. His right pupil moves up and out in a lateral direction. A cranial nerve 4 palsy. Abraham Lincoln had the same cranial nerve 4 palsy in his left eye from an old trauma when kicked by a horse in his youth.

L.L.Bean catalog 😂😂😂

I've heard of it. Thanks to Google Maps. Awsome video

I found your channel entirely by accident. Been in NYC for 8 days and found my Host to be unnecessarily difficult. ADHD or whatever it is that people label THEMSELVES with. I was hoping to get to know NYC with her as she'd lived here for 17 years and she's originally from the Philippines. Sigh.

🤣 Haunted by a... "me too" ghost 🤣

Really curious as to why there was a new mexico flag flying on the ear Inn.

Hey ,Tom ! What's up?

VidPigs - that might catch on!

How does one become a camera person for Tom???

High Value neighborhood deserves Great Value shopping doncha no ... where's WalMart located around here??
