I walk Broadway from Harlem down to Times Square. I pass by the neighborhoods of Morningside Heights, Upper West Side, and Midtown Manhattan. Along the way, I visit the main campus of Columbia University and Lincoln Center.

WALK FASTER
I was in NYC this past weekend for the first time since 2019, mostly in the Theater District, but we also took a walk over to Roosevelt Island. I noticed a lot of big improvements since the last time I was there. I have said many times that Manhattan would be a marvelous, walkable city if it wasn't for all the traffic. Well, I noticed a lot of new road diets, bike lanes, no-car plazas, and general improvements to walking. Traffic was still pretty bad, but MUCH better than the last time I was there. I really loved it. Also, folks were really lovely. I've been to NYC several times and have generally had positive experiences with folks. But this time, I don't know, it was different. It's hard to explain, but folks were really lovely.
The only real "negative" is the same negative you find almost everywhere in the US. Drivers. They're awful. I think the drivers in NYC might be some of the worst, not because their behavior is worse than drivers in say Houston. It's more because…seriously, what the hell are you doing driving a personal vehicle in one of the most walkable/public transit-rich places in the United States? The only answer I can think of is, "because you're a selfish asshole." That makes their bad driving behavior that much more upsetting to me.
Anyway, thanks for the video. I hope it's not 3 more years before my next visit (actually, we're thinking about coming back in a couple months…but that's iffy). I love seeing all the improvements and I hope it keeps moving in good directions. Reclaiming the city for people instead of for car warehousing could help make it such a wonderful place to live.
America a great country and people are well behaved
Really enjoy your presentation
Great job! I normally visit NYC on business a few times each quarter, and between appointments I wander about with my camera. I've only been to the city twice since the pandemic started, though, Your videos are just like being there.
Why does Times Square look like Disneyland? Glad I went there in 1980.
Hi AK, do you ever wanna give guided tours? You'll be amazing at that. Sooo knowledgeable. 😘
Thank you so much for sharing NYC a place I will never see live. I enjoy all your videos and want to see more .
New York has been changed a lot back in the 80s 90 s Manhattan was dirty city to honest especially in the 81 till the end of the 90s the Duce was the main entertainment street 42th street was full of kung fu flicks movies 24 hours movies crack dealers everywhere especially in 41 street and 8th avenue. Much cleaner now thanks for the video bro
Hi long time no viewing, love the quality of these now great commentary too, would really love to visit The Big Apple but Covid permitting maybe a ling time…
Thank u soo soo much for that video I felt as if I was walking alongside u thanks much very very informative!! God bless u on u'r journey & keep u safe!!🙏
This is now my go to video when I’m having trouble sleeping. I suffer from insomnia. Your voice is very soothing and helps me focus on what you’re saying rather that focusing on my stressors. Thank you very much for these videos. Not only are they super informative but they are super relaxing. I love Manhattan and I feel like I’m walking with you.
BTW: you must be in very good shape. Walking these great distances is great for your overall health. Clearly you must have really good walking shoes

Good morning from Boston Mass
To each his own! NY City, the big apple is a place I want NO parts of! Not only is the cost of living outrageous, I just don't understand how Everyday Americans can SURVIVE there!
