The colorization process seems to be getting more accurate. This is really one of the best I've seen.

This is the world, the time, and the city my father was born into. I can imagine him as one of the pedestrians here -- a young child walking along with my grandparents and his older sister -- my aunt -- after taking the subway from Brooklyn on a day trip in awe of exciting Manhattan, or maybe still in a baby carriage depending upon how far into the 1920s this footage is. Perhaps strolling along Central Park or at the NY Public Library. The Empire State Building and the Chrysler Buildings still a few years away from being built.

NASS, my YouTube MVP, you never let me down. As a Native NYer, this actually depresses me. Looking at the current state of my city now, what a disaster. These treasured vids are more important than ever to preserve what once was so beautiful about NYC. Thank you. 🙏

So glad that someone had the foresight to film this. It really brings that particular time to life and makes it seem so real because it was real and not just a movie. Thanks for posting!

Love the old cars and tastefully dressed people. Times Square neon at night looks so stylish.

[MrMinuteman]

Absolutely astonishing as usual NASS! Closest we’ll get to time travel. Love it!

The movie playing is The Single Standard starring Greta Garbo - It was released in July of 1929. This video was most likely taken the summer before the stock market crash in October 1929. I really enjoy your work, the color is great on this one.

Nass, you spoil us with your beautiful scenes from the past. Love 1930-1940's New York! Love the cars and people looking very nice. Always love the 1930-1940's menswear with their fedora hats and suits.! Thanks.

Another incredible video from NASS, the most talented videophile on YouTube‼️👍

These films are amazing. I feel transported in time.

NAS, great, as usual... Makes one wish we could return to those days.

I’ve been watching vintage video footage for years, NYC especially and never seen these vantage points until now, thank you.

The four stack ocean liner @ 0:55 is the Cunard liner RMS Aquitania.

[howardgreenman]

I was in New York several years ago and I took a water taxi passed the Cunard pier. The pier is badly deteriorated, but you can still read the Cunard sign on top.

Keep up the excellent work, I am from there, so I recognize lots of the building’s, and etc. 🌹❤️👍

People well dressed. No ugly tattoos, no people starring into smartphones like zombies.

[ostreds]

love looking up the companies that appear in your recreations.

It’s kind of insane that the Statue of Liberty was orange back then

[maitham.alkhazragi]

Elegance, beauty and order came together about 103 years ago in this colorful video 🎉

As a kid in the late 60's and early 70's, I remember that THIS was the time my grandparents and old timers would always harken back to.
