⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : 53rd Street, Midtown Manhattan from Hell's Kitchen to Sutton Place

I walk the entirety of 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan from DeWitt Clinton Park in Hell's Kitchen to Sutton Place South Park in Sutton Place. 53rd Street is notable for many locations ranging from 601 Lexington Avenue (Citigroup Center), the Lipstick Building, Ed Sullivan Theater, and the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art).

Correction - Starting from 39:07 I completely botched the pronunciation of William LeMessurier’s last name repeatedly. It is pronounced “ləˈmɛʒər”. The repairs to the building also happened only at night, not “day and night” as I stated. This was to keep the repairs to the building hidden from the public.

From Wikipedia:
"53rd Street is a midtown cross street in the New York City borough of Manhattan, that runs adjacent to buildings such as the Citigroup building. It is 1.83 miles (2.94 km) long. The street runs westbound from Sutton Place across most of the island's width, ending at DeWitt Clinton Park at Eleventh Avenue.

The Lexington Avenue – 53rd Street/ 51st Street station complex, one of the busiest in the New York City Subway system, is accessible from this street, and is served by 4, ​6, E and ​M trains. The Seventh Avenue station, serviced by the (B, ​D​, and E trains), is a similarly busy transfer station. The 53rd Street Tunnel carries the IND Queens Boulevard Line (E and ​M trains) of the New York City Subway under the East River between Manhattan and Queens."

The best thing is that you make very often these videos, so we can see changes in city and people from today!

[ksubscriberswithfivevide]

I always wanted something like this. I'm big fan of NYC 🗽 and I can see so many streets in city.

Love your commentaries, especially re: the residential and historical areas of NYC. And thanks for converting imperial measurements to metric for those of us outside the US 🙂

Lovely! More narrated videos to come please especially for the 4th of July!

I enjoy walking with ActionKid through New York while I'm stuck behind a desk in a downtown Seattle office building.

Hi, these narrated videos are really awesome, they are so much more interesting than the non narrated ones, thanks and great job!

[brucebacklund]

No matter how many HUNDREDS of videos that you have done, each new one is refreshing! Never get bored. Video and sound are superb as usual and both equally important! 3 thumbs up! Great to see the NY Hilton again on 53rd. Stayed there one night in the 1980s. Asked for a credit card. I do business in cash only. Probably thought I was a bag man for the mob. Oh well, nice hotel. Housekeeping even rolled down my bedding for me in the evening!

you have made a new great view again, well done .

[charlesgrayson]

Thanks again for another great walking video of Manhattan. One interesting thing about 53rd street is that it has a park on both ends.

I’m totally in love with your channel! I’ve dreamt of New York all of my life and I can’t wait to one day visit. Until that time, I will watch your amazing videos. I’ve been looking for a vlog like this for a long time. Thank you! ~Love from Tennessee
