Just took my first trip to NYC in July! Thank you for all of the subway tips your channel provides. I navigated the system with no issues whatsoever.

[parthbajaj]

This is sooo helpful! And the timing couldn’t be more perfect!
I stalked your channel just yesterday looking for something like this! And it’s here today 😍

[raphaeltrinidad]

I have to say I love this video coz there were so much hidden gems that were never featured in other NYC tour guides, often you just see the same spots featured over and over again.

[bostondan]

I’ve been to NYC many times and was looking for fresh ideas for my most recent trip. This video is packed with great travel tips for NYC and is absolutely worth the watch. We managed to try several of the suggestions and had an amazing time. I'd also recommend renting bikes—New York has done a fantastic job creating safe bike lanes, making it a fun way to explore the city. Great video!

We did so many of these when in NYC for 2 1/2 days last year, no surprise as I binge watched this channel to plan our visit. One of the best tips was using the East River Ferry. We took it early on a beautiful Saturday morning so nearly had the Ferry to ourselves. We caught it from the 34th St pier to Dumbo, 40 minute cruise with stunning views of Brooklyn and Manhattan for $4 - so good❤

[adrianrawcliffe]

Perfect timing. 5 nights in NYC from 7th October. This has great pointers for the family.

[mrmartywaring]

As many times I been to NYC, I still watch your channel before I plan a trip there. I was there about two weeks ago & went to the Waverly Diner in the village. The vibe was chill & had an old school diner feel.

[zjalufi]

Oh, man! That's exactly what I need. We are going to New York in February.

[nickpierone]

loved it. and love that city. adding the best jazz clubs on the planet. the bluenose, the village vanguard, smalls and mezzo, lunatico and many more. viva nyc

[Adro]

I’m planning a spontaneous, semi last minute trip to NY in February 25 from Houston. The flights are super cheap at $130 and I’ve found some reasonable hotel prices! Can’t wait!

[nkappelgaard]

I have been to NYC about 15 times, but I'm still in need of inspiration. Love your videos.

[huntslife]

Going for the first time in less than 2 weeks. Looking forward to it

[StevenNeaves]

Going to NYC this weekend and staying in Long Island City, this upload us super timely for me to have discovered!

[nadeemfaraz]

Watching your videos from South Africa 🇿🇦, planning to visit NY in November, so much excited for 2 weeks trip❤

[jenp]

i was born and raised in ny and still find this interesting. thanks!

[skyeshwin]

After watching a bunch of your videos, I took my wife to NYC last weekend for 3 days… we covered all the major spots - st.patricks church, trump tower, Central Park, Brooklyn bridge walk, Times Square, Statue of Liberty tour, Wall Street walk, summit at Vanderbilt, tour to the UN HQ and finally taking the tram to Roosevelt island and exploring there using Citi Bike! The trip was amazing and exhausting as well! The bleeker street pizza place had the most amazing nona maria slice!

[guiramos]

Would love to see a video from you on “day trip to NY” 🙂
I’ll be soon spending an entire day there and I’m kinda nervous and excited at the same time.

[graemejenkinson]

I'd definitely recommend not over planning. These recommendations are great but inevitable there aren't in reality going to suit everyone. If you plan something and find it disappointing it's a real downer, sure choose some things, provide some structure, but the joy of travelling is always the unknown.

Lots of really good tips on his videos that I have used on my many trips to the big apple. Only one I’m not a fan of is Tick Tock diner, found it to be massively over hyped. Murray hill dinner was a much better spot for breakfast (personal opinion).

Hi Johnny and folks. It was all yesterday on Monday. I had a bagel with tofu cream cheese and lox and iced coffee at Thompkins Square Bagels. Then I walked and passed by Russ and Daughters which I've never eaten at. I walked down Mulberry St for the San Gerraro Festival. It was a beautiful day. I did walk through Chinatown. I walked the Brooklyn Bridge and back. I went to the famous Dumbo spot where you can see the ESB underneath the Manhattan Bridge. I walked from lower Manhattan through Union Square, to Midtown. I grabbed a slice of pizza. I ate a bunch of cannolis at the Festival. I walked to Grand Central Station. Maybe, I found the food court. From the station, I went to the base of One Vanderbilt. Thanks for the Street Bites.
