Never knew the difference between Broadway, off Broadway, and off off Broadway. The number of seats huh. Thanks bro.

The rounding error at Durst is mind-blowing!

The Paramount building also hosted the old Paramount Theatre. Hard Rock now has a replica marquee. Also don't give away the secret of the best bathroom in Times Square, aka, the Marriott.

The Paramount Theatre is where they had the premiere for the movie Love Me Tender, starring Elvis Presley.

I really liked the Tuvan throat singing that you dubbed in when there was a "Monk Alert". Very clever.

I was first in Times Square in 1981, was in NYC to see The Clash, and it was bloody dangerous!

[jimmysarmiento]

I got to tour the Paramount building extensively, such a cool building! Those clocks at the top are massive. Got to see them from the inside. One one of the upper floors they were redoing there was still stained glass in one of the windows that looked like it was from a church. Can’t imagine how old it was!

[eclecticsoul]

Very informative videos. The views are great including you.

[goodfellaB]

Tom, you’re a gift to us all! Keep it up

Baada Boom! Baada Bam! Baada Bang! You, Sir, are not only a real hoot, but a Didactic Hoot, to boot! Once lived in Manhattan. However, once I managed to escape with my life back in Spring '98, my romance with New York City had waned exponentially over the years. But, mah brotha, your intoxicating 'teaching trips' have a fired a reawakening-fondness for dear ol' Gotham. Yup! Your incredible humor, passion and electricity serve you well! Rock On!

[irenelacour]

I really enjoyed this tour because I will never get a chance to go t go to New York. Love the way you explain all of the old and new

Love love love your videos! You need your own travel show.
