The Dakota. I work w/ a guy who lives there. He’s a peculiar 20 something who lives w/ his parents but I’m trying to befriend him just so I can go inside and see the place myself. I know that’s awful but it is the top building on my list that I want to see the inside of before I die. I’m 33 by the way, so God willing, I have some years ahead of me.

I’m suprised you didn’t feature Big Nick’s on Broadway & 77th.

I found this video before the other, but am just now commenting. Great vid! Fairway is (was) my favorite grocery store. I’d stop there at least once a day. It grew three times present size during my time in the city. It was a great place to people watch. if you are a “celebrity” hunter, you could see them acting like the rest of us (as they are like anyone else) here at Fairway.

It is a paradise of food. Everything you ever thought of, although there are probably some things from South America that may not be there.

I cant wait to go to fairway market. Never been before.

Great NYC on the cheap vids. Will be in the city for my 4th visit since ’03 on March 20-24. Always on my list is Chinese and Wine (Silk Road Palace) between 81st and 82nd on Amsterdam. Also love the chicken kabobs with hot sauce on the street and enjoying a carafe of wine in Grand Central. Will also try to make some of your recommendations, especially in the Village. I really enjoyed how you gave some of the history of the sites you showed.
What do you think …
What do you think this is a feature film? Of course I left out tons of things. You expect all of New York to be in one YouTube vide? These are just some of my favorites.
Basically well done …
Basically well done, but you left out tons and tons of great restaurants and historic buildings.
I love Barney …
I love Barney Greengrass!
Wow man this was …
Wow man this was really informative. I want to live in the Upper West Side one day so I’m always over there. I will definitely check out some of those spots and it’s good to see that you positively critiqued the places where I eat!

went past cafe la fortuna in july 2006 whilst on my honeymoon,john lennon use to go there nearly every day,and there are pictures in the window and inside of him and yoko,all in all its a bit of a shrine.(wonder if they might be trying to cash in a little)I didnt go in and im a big beatles fan,just seemed a little too sickly to do so.
Wow! What a …
Wow! What a coincidence. I’m glad the three of you are reunited. The pizza is not bad, either.

I used to live on West 70th and so Sunday I decided to see if there were any videos in my old neighborhood.
I typed in Upper West Side and there was your travelogue. When the video got to Freddie and Pepper’s Pizza, I thought about my old friend that I hadn’t seen in 27 years. His name was Freddie too.Then I saw the guy behind the counter and guess what? It was my old friend Freddie. I called Freddie and Peppers and he and I have been reunited along with my other friend who is a friend of his.
Great. I’m glad you …
Great. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Understated and informative. I love this video and look forward to the others. I especially enjoyed learning about Alice’s Teacup and La Caridad, just to name a couple. For someone who loves New York as much as I do, this hits the spot!

Love your videos my friend – just what I’ve been looking for.
That would be great.

Man, I may end up going to New York for this after all, I’ve decided to finish my degree this fall and I’ve always wanted to go to New York.
