Tom D, you know that you're brilliant! Thank you for not being a lawyer 😂!

My grandma born in Puerto Rico on the day The Jones act went into law. She was one of the first new US citizens born in PR. She later grew up in NYC. Miss her.

NYC's best tour guide 👍👏😊❤️

Thank you to the KZfaq algorithm for recommending this masterpiece and channel.

I was born and raised in Sunset Park, my parents lived up the block on 50th between 5th and 6th avenue and my grandparents lived down the block and we traveled back and forth in the early 1960s to the early 90s Great memories growing up.

Tom, I really appreciate you doing this neighborhood this neighborhood was where my mother was born and raised. She recently passed away last year, and this means a lot to me. I was also born in sunset at Lutheran Medical Center. Now NYU Langone, hospital.

omg, my home Borough Park and Sunset Park area! I've no time to watch it now but I can't wait for weekend! So many memories... toooo many. Finally I wathed it lol. Rob was horrified that he didn't buy a house there before 2017. It was terrific to watch the neighborhood through this tour video, thanks!

Born and raised in Brooklyn. Lived on 6th. Ave. Between 19 & 20 streets. Born 1950. Live just a few blocks from Greenwood Cemetery. Good video.

When you were standing in the park, I kept looking behind you to see my four family house. I didn't. To the left, I saw the Steeple of St. Michael's Church. When I left decades ago, the area was strictly German and Italian. Yes today, very Chinese with some Puerto Ricans. Interesting how people come in groups in every culture. I loved it. I still miss it.

I’ve been waiting for this one! I hope you cover some nearby neighborhoods like Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst

Great vid! I'm Massachusetts born but 100% Finnish blood. My dad, grew up in Mass, attended NYC s Brookwood Labor College in early 30's. at 18 yrs old he delivered eggs door to door in Manhattan one winter. Brookwood is long gone

Another great video, Tom! Great to learn something new about my part of Brooklyn. Can't wait for what's next

Tom, thank you for introducing me to new beautiful and interesting places I've never heard from before ❤❤❤ Great work as always!! 😊 All the best from Heidi from Helsinki

17:16 mark is my dad’s Salvadorian Restaurant! He’s been there many years. Thank you for sharing the history of our neighborhood! 🙂

I have been watching you for years except I watch you on KZfaq on my TV so it's really hard to press the like button and whatever. I think you're a very knowledgeable an awesome young man. This is probably some place because the only time I get to say I hope you're still with Lucy cuz I think you're both adorable. Thank you for all the history and the wonderful facts that you give us. You're like a walking Google and I enjoy every one of your shows thank you thank you thank you

Great Video. I was born, raised, and will be buried not far from where you were standing, with a great view of NYC. But it saddens me to see what SP has become. Its no longer a neighborhood, but merely an "Area" now called "Greenwood Heights"😆. I played in the cemetery as a kid, and got many free pieces of candy from the factories. Industry City is the biggest sore. I will sub, and watch your vids.👍🏽

Wow, I was waiting for a video that did justice to Sunset Park where I lived my youth and early adulthood. Thank you 🙂

Boy did I love that diving pool that they filled in! 16 feet deep!

This is a neighborhood that has a fun energy even in the winter time and the people there don't take themselves too seriously.

Absolutely excellent work as always TomD, Yay🙌👏👏👏🎉Tysm💓

Another fun Finnish fact is that it's in the top 5 best languages for swearing in.

It nice to see a video about New York that isn’t all doom and gloom…

Sick Plug. Thank you Tom for another amazing tour. I'll add Sunset Park to my list

Thanks Tom! You just crack me up something fierce.......😅!! I ❤ your stories of NYC. I stayed in Sunset Park a few yrs back; really loved it. And that view from the hilltop park!! Mucha suerte mi amigo!!

Finally made it to my neck of the woods! I enjoyed this episode's sunset snark.

We don't need Mofongo Place in Sunset Park when we already have La Isla Cuchifritos on 5th Ave. When I first moved here 26 years ago an old timer told me that it was "a working class neighborhood where everybody works" and that kind of sums up the place for me... Amazing job covering the neighborhood, but a few things you missed: - 5th Ave used to be South Brooklyn's theater district in the first part of the 20th century, with big movie houses stretching from the park all the way to Bay Ridge. You can still see a lot of these old three story buildings today, with the upper floor windows all bricked up and used as warehouses for ground floor businesses like furniture stores The only one still standing as a cinema is the Alpine cinema in Bay Ridge. - One of the great books about Brooklyn, Hubert Selby's infamous Last Exit to Brooklyn took place largely in Sunset Park's waterfront district. Selby was born and raised in Sunset Park (though it was still called Bay Ridge then), and enlisted in the Merchant Marine here, too. He was one of Lou Reed's favorite writers and his seedy subject matter was a big inspiration for quite a few early Velvet Underground songs. - We've got our own Basilica, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which is kind of a big deal - it's grounds take up a whole block between 5th and 6th Ave, between 59th & 60th St, and it's a real microcosm of the changing ethnic identities of the neighborhood, with a few older Irish and Polish congregants as well as Vietnamese and Latinos (I think they still offer a mass in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure). Also, alongside the Chinese population, there's a pretty significant Vietnamese community and some damn fine banh mi and pho shops. - Supposedly the first Fujianese people to settle in Sunset Park in the '80s chose 8th Ave because 8 is a lucky number in Chinese folklore. My landlady told me that and she's Chinese, so take that as you will...

Right on with the takeaway on city policy 21:40. I had very low expectations about this video when YT suggested it, thought I would take a guilty trip down memory lane, but you were very respectful and informative. Thank you

Another great tour! Love the video and I appreciate the soap box sessions 🔥

Another awesome vid Tom! I loved it as always! I stayed in Sunset Park, right down 39 st between 4th-5th Ave this summer when I visited. It’s such an interesting and beautiful neighborhood with all the brownstones and mix of cultures! Thanks for another cool video-documentary! As always, you make me laugh with your antics!

Born and raised in Sunset Park. There is NOTHING like sitting on the stoop on a 90 degree dusk and night with humidity so thick you can’t breathe!

👋Hey there Tom, A new fan & subscriber here & for very good reason! You're simply, brilliant, just like a beautiful sparkling star!🌟 And you possess such wonderfully positive energy, that it radiates through the tv. Your intros are always fun & funny too! I always find myself either giggling or laughing out loud. I also love your relationship with Rob! I just love the humour between you both! lol We unfortunately don't get to see him, but he also comes across as a pretty cool dude, yeah!! Your videos really encapsulate all that is NYC & it's interesting, extensive & deep history, which btw, is always truly eye opening & amazing! I have always loved NYC, so this is right up my alley! Thank you for creating & sharing your awesome content with we curious viewers. Peace✌

Great video! Loved the singing!!

No mention of the irish st Michael's 42 and 4 ave st Agatha 49 and 7 ave olph 59 and 5 ave

One of my favorite places

Hey Tom!! What's up? Thanks for another sick tour ❤❤❤

How is Tom not at 100k!?!???!? Tom D the 🐐

Tom should host a NYC history pop up event

best tour video!!

Brilliant as always tom!!! Loved the Elvis reference and that song is my fav song!!!!!

Best video so far.

OK that Arch Nemesis line was great😆

My Hometown 🫡, I Dig Your Episodes Especially The Haunted Ones….🙏🏻

Bravo!

The last paragraph that you said was so correct.But you have to realize that in the beginning of new york city this is how it's always been

Thanx, for a couple of things 😁👍

So good!!

Thank You

thank you really enjoyed it thoroughly......pls cover the Bangladeshi community in Brooklyn

Nice video. Do you know about A to Z video on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 62nd street? It's a landmark and the sign is still there.

My fav videos ever I love history 😻😻😻😻😻

I did not realize NYC/Brooklyn had such diverse Euros. All you hear about is Italians, then Jews, and Irish. What happened to all the Finns and Norwegians? I know there are Poles around though. What about Germans? NYC used to have a lot of Germans.

We always enjoy you

Cant wait to hit nyc in june gonna go to every neighborhood i can in 7 days

My grandfather grew up there...came from Italy 1905

Sunset people, sunset, people

awsome

You also missed some stuff-there’s a Muslim community (halal butchers near 29th street), and a small Jewish community as well

I miss the sick plug counter!

come visit the Adirondacks!

Sing it, Tom!

Where ya been? Aint seen y'all tube ing awhile

Oh & Tom, you know you're ultra intelligent & totally knowledge filled!!! Hmmm & what do you think about this Rob?! 😆

Tooom 😃

"Arch nemesis" 😂

What is your cat's name & age?

Tom you need to educate yourself about Chicago so you can do a Chicago tour

when u spoke Spanish all i heard was Oh hee Ho, forgive me ignorance lol.

To Tom d. , here. My friend sacrificed. Ripped of his manhood at the door. All the way from his suburban jersey to cheer me up. Court case I think. He's a programmer so is probably seeing this. Tamara.

I do support Platano Boulevard!!

hello , rob was it robert and may i ask to call him bert. greenwood near is it christopher verrazano. when i was 5 in 1985 , home asked me which one was my favorite bridge. did not want to say washington bridge and said williamsburg bridge. he tend to take me off the west bound pretty fast and into delancey street and i know i am in the city then. he turns down into chrystie and we stay there. elle for est river

🌆🗽🌠

You need to go to Canarsie!

Beautiful piece, that other wife of Elvis's, amphetamines, nice.

35 thousand Chinese restaurants and one menu.

Funny and humane. Not easy to do.

No mention of the sadly departed Bed Bath & Beyond? For shame!

Amazon has a Prime Fresh grocery warehouse on 30th street (industry city)-I worked there in early summer 2020, before the “Covid-19” riots

Tom you tend to talk with your hands. In doing so they sometimes smack together making this annoying sound. Still love your content! 🤚✋🏻

Nice Video! But now you got the yuppies that ruined the NYC I grew up in giving tours. Greenwood Cemetery have a lot of family in there it's a city within the city. Born and Raised in Bensonhurst Brooklyn all Italian Cafes etc no yuppie Starbucks and Gregory' Coffee. You want stories on how the REAL NYC was by all means drop me a line but Yuppies ruined it. Best of Meats no Whole Foods etc etc. I would give one hell of a interview from food, Graffiti best of all the Nightlife that most missed out on list goes on.

look at us...

With your height, you hardly need a soapbox.

Talks about 'slavery' then shows us a pic of 'his' cat.... Alas! Cognitive Disconnect: The Musical is back in town. Apart from that... ;)

I like you your need to watch

🤒🔌⚡️🚨 ⚓️⛴️🌅🏭🌄🏙 #LaPlugga🔌 #The🔌

Detroit's doing better these days. Come see for yourself.

🤔 Fix my tumor 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️

Nice video. NYC is no longer an American city of all backgrounds and ethnicities. It has become city full of the 3rd world especially in The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. It will be a long time before you see anything in pop-culture coming out of NYC the world loves and gravitates towards like in past decades

Algorithm engagement comment

Ahhh yes. Transplants coming for another neighborhood like roaches. Great

Platano street 😂🤣

History haters on wheels. smh

careful dude I almost stoped watching when you were singing.

Moses was as racist as everyone was back then but he had to deal with antisemitism.

What a bunch of BS.

Keep the day job. You're not a singer.

I was seeing a colored lady in Gunset about 6 months ago. Didn't end well, but not the worst, we both still have our lives and sanity. You live and you learn.

elvis other wife 😭

Where to begin? Your videos are always so entertaining! You are funny and sing well too. If I were in that shopping cart I'd be rolling down the street trying to figure out how to get out of it. lol I love that you focus on the pigeon at times. They are the most marginalized members of our society. We used them as messengers and considered them valuable once upon a time then discarded them when they were no longer useful and they couldn't fend for themselves. Everyone should read about Cher Ami and thank you for the fabulous tour. ❤🦤✨
