⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : New York City Hall Area & Civic Center, Manhattan

A narrated walk through New York's Civic Center, walking through streets such as Centre Street, Broadway, Chambers Street, Duane Street, Worth Street, and Foley Square.

From Wikipedia:
"The Civic Center is the area of lower Manhattan, New York City, that encompasses New York City Hall, One Police Plaza, the courthouses in Foley Square, and the surrounding area. The district is bound on the west by Tribeca at Broadway, on the north by Chinatown at Worth Street or Bayard Street, on the east by the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge at South Street, and on the south by the Financial District at Ann Street."

"Although government-related activities are predominant, other pursuits also occur within the district, including entertainment, industrial activity, residential dwellings, and warehousing. For example, there are Chinese restaurants near Civic Center's border with Chinatown, in addition to some museums and some residential buildings in the Civic Center area. The area is roughly 10 blocks long and 5 blocks wide, but is far less dense than most of Manhattan, where the average number of residents for an area that size is 35,000; the Civic Center has approximately 20,000 residents.

The Jacob K. Javits Federal Building is located in the area. It includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation New York field office.

Non-government buildings include the 387 feet (118 m) 15 Park Row, an office and residential building which was the city's highest from 1899 to 1908. 150 Nassau Street, a 21-story granite building, was once a publisher's building, as were many in the area, but is now a residential building, as is 38 Park Row. The 76-story 8 Spruce Street is among the world's tallest residential buildings. Southbridge Towers, once Mitchell-Lama affordable housing, is now market-rate housing."

I love the opening in an arriving subway train, very good introduction into your videos. The narrated ones are my favourite, love your positive attitude. Big Fan from Germany.

Your videos help me with my anxiety a lot. Thank you. I don't think people realize how frightening mundane things like walking around from place to place can be for some of us with this mental illness. These videos are strangely relaxing and could help people... It's nice.

Another narrated walk, keep em coming 👍

I love this part of NYC. Less glass and steel boxes and more historical buildings.

That African burial national monument was very a fascinating read and moved me to tears . That is plane evil to have had it built on and buried like that. I was also happy with the attention to detail, culture, continuity of their arrangements, Ghanaian involvement and love put into the site further moved me. As a Black man who usually doesn't have a race driven mindset found it a very fascinating archaeological find for the explorer in me. Thank you for covering it, dude.

Good to see the Foley Square courthouses again after 54 years. They took us there on a school field trip in February 1965, and the guide explained the courthouses were always shown at the intro to the old CBS TV series, The Defenders, 1961-1965. Magnificent architecture. After the courthouse tour, they took us on a walking tour of the Bowery. Now that was an experience! Another super video!
