John this is the video I’d been waiting for! I just got back from NYC today after studying up for my holiday with your videos. I stayed on the UWS mainly because I was chasing that You’ve Got Mail atmosphere and it was there at every corner. It is a wonderful part of Manhattan where one can easily end up feeling like a local - super close to a lot of things too and indeed the 1 train from 72nd is a godsend that takes you to all the important parts of the city. Thank you finally for recommending Sarge’s Deli - my favourite lunch I had in NYC! Keep up the good work! 😄

I live in Yonkers & to get to the city I take the 1 Train, taking the 1 train so much to get to the city, I fell in love with the Upper West Side, it’s such a quiet neighborhood. It’s my favorite. Thank you so much for highlight hidden parts I never knew about, next time I go, which will be soon, I will take some pictures of these places. Please do the Bronx if you know any great spots.

Love the Opera and LOVE those tips. OMG those Tiffany lamps were stunning. There are quite a few Chinese infused restaurants around NYC. LOVE Riverside park. It's a great park that's not as congested as Central. Great video and very creative. Could you watch our latest video, as we'd love to hear your thoughts as well. Thanks Jon.

Love the UWS! All the best things about NYC in one place! And if you need a hotel recommendation, the Hotel Belleclaire on 77th and Broadway is a perfect location to base out of for your explorations! It's just 2 blocks from the 1 and 2 trains, a couple of good cafes are just around the corner and maybe best of all it's just a 30 meters from La Caridad!! BTW, we've also had some decent takeout from the Europan cafe next door too! Lincoln Centre and the Koch Theater are within walking distance for shows and you can walk the paths that parallel the 79th Street Traverse across Central Park in less then 20 minutes to access all the great shopping on Park Ave. Love your videos Jon...keep up the great work! :-)

It was the home of Jane Jacobs, the famous activist and author of the seminal urban geography book The Death and Life of Great American Cities lived and wrote the said book. Being a student of urban geography I would fanboy at that address.

Nice to see it's well appreciated by Seth. (re-confirms my good taste.).

Ive never been to New York City, I have to scratch that one off my bucket list. My sister went with her bf and family and shes not very big on it because we're from a southern state and she didn't like how busy it was. Were NC, so we have some citys near us, but nothing like nyc obviously. Raleigh's been coming up and Charlotte is a pretty decent city. Most of my family likes semi country kinda quiet but not one of those dead towns with one gas station and a small grocery store but those areas are around too. Im pretty southern but i actually enjoy the city so it d really love to see nyc.
