Jackson Heights is about diversity of people/cultures, not only food. You could go there and not eat and still enjoy it.

I always recommend Washington heights and Inwood historical and parks. Walking around Jackson Heights historic district is a diversion too. Not exciting but a look at Nyc out of Manhattan
And Indian and Tibetan Nepalese food too

Couldn't disagee more. If all you have is a few days in NY, don't waste your time in Queens. Brooklyn Heights is a pretty neighborhood, but if you want the New York experience, that's not the place to be. I live in Hell's Kitchen and I feel it's the least interesting section of the city. Spend more time in Central Park. Upper East and West Side. The Village. Soho.

Thanks for the new information!π

3:33- 4) Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn
I live in the upper west side and right now there are so many tourists. I mean there wonβt be as many tourists as time square or 5th avenue, but the magnitude of more people here right now is crazy. For example, the natural history museum which is a very nice, modern busy museum had a line around the entire block! Like probably 500 people waiting. It was crazy.

4:21- 5) Flushing, Queens Chinatown

4:59- 6) Harlem, Manhattan
There's atleast two factors for them being the best neighborhoods.

5:44- 7) Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Please don't make videos like this. Certain NYC neighborhoods are great because they don't have tourists. I don't want Flushing turning into the tourist trap that is Chinatown. I also love Brooklyn Heights for its serenity. The last thing I want is for it to be super populated with non-NYers.

Greenpoint is basically the Seattle of NYC... And many don't realize how big of a city the city is... I wouldn't dare live there now that's insane. But it's the bees for an experience.
I understand why people like you love these hives nests of humans. But I gotta have space these days π

Tashkent in Brighten Beach Uzbekistan food.
Nabbano 73street and Roosevelt in Jackson Heights for Bengali.
African. Fulton and Franklin Ave Brooklyn. (Just walk east) It doesnβt even have a name just look where all the African men in robes are eating-itβs by far the best restaurant in all of NYC! They do get shut down at times.
Corner 28, Roast duck, pork take out. (Eat in the park next to it) 40 road Flushing queens.
THERE THE BEST PLACES IN NYC, because Iβm a nice guy. All very cheap as well.

You did NOT put Hoboken in there.

Can't find the Staten Island video, but anyhow. We took the ferry over yesterday and spent some hours there. Exellent way to see the statue of liberty so close and even for free. We had lunch at SI fish & more, and you should try that. Well tasting food and nice atmosphere. Also a nice vintage store a bit higher in Victory blvd
@torbjorn68Sinatra was from Hoboken.
@dorothyblack8904I'm in Hoboken now debating on driving my GMC 3500HD to Manhattan I'm only concerned about parking
@donniebagwell9536How about showing fort Greene some love donβt get me wrong I definitely recommend checking out these neighborhoods but fort Greene has some pretty cool spots too 1.BAM (Brooklyn Academy of music) has great performances and a movies theatre
2. Fort Greene park while not as big or as a interesting as Central Park or even prospect park it still interesting to check out it was also designed by the two people who designed central and prospect park it also has the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument
3. It has UrbanGlass s glass shop in Brooklyn which will have showings and sometimes have workshops
4. It has some interesting places to get food (I recommend deklab food hall which has some great food vendors just. Had an amazing Empana
So if you are planning a trip to NYC soon and if you have time I highly recommend you check out Fortgreene it may not as big or as flashy as Manhattan but itβs got heart and soul
Lower East Side used to be my fav nieb when I lived in nyc in early 2000s. I visited in 2012 and was shocked to see families had moved into that area. Then I visited in 2018 and was shocked that there were tourists and hotels in the LES! If you dont like your neighborhood in nyc, just wait 10 minutes.
@thebookwasbetter3650I lived on 49th and 9th in Hells Kitchen. Tourists go to 8th Ave and get scared off by all the strip clubs and turn back. But 9th Ave has the longest string of ethnic restaurants anywhere.
@thebookwasbetter3650Hell's kitchen π I like this area and so happy to be there once again in a few months
@cocories7967Hoboken β€
@Colombiana__Rudyβs is epic
@agpc0529πππ
@memeeaddy1771I would have personally had Sheepshead Bay over Brighton beach & somewhere in the list Washington Heights.
Sheepshead for the also Ukrainian culture and food strip along emmons Ave with a beautiful view of the boats along the bay.
WH for the highest vantage point in the city, parks like Fort Tyron park, the Sylvian Terrace and the little red lighthouse under the GWB.
Good content as always though!
Some parts of your video are featured on Gossip girl πΊ
@domingo-7Love Hellβs Kitchen
@davefisch-y1tThis is lowkey kinda sad if this is what new york has to offer.
@subbinbacktoallsubbs5272I am loving your videos! I am from Australia and we are planning a visit in 2025, I am taking many notes of different places to go and eat! If we see you around, we might just buy you a drink!
@carolriordan5520I would like to say that, even though times square is very very touristy. It is still worth a visit simply because there is no other place like it. That doesnβt mean you have to eat there, that doesnβt mean you have to buy stuff there, maybe you take a picture with a Disney character or two because you know when, and realm, maybe go see the naked cowboy. I think people are too polarized on Times Square. This probably is a controversial and maybe even even an unpopular opinion but I actually think times Square is more worth a visit than fifth Avenue. Come on, are you really gonna buy anything on fifth Avenue? I donβt even think there are any food trucks on fifth Avenue. of course I would still visit fifth Avenue, but if I had to choose one of the other, Iβd probably go for Times Square.
@blindpanthervlogsWho did almost all Manhattan by walk? It's huge!!! Brooklyn Brige one love. Dumbo was so surprise at 7 in the morning before I even know it has so funny name. Only one tip, don't use maps with routs and you will see real city
@dmytrochirkov6331Another comercial video where you can eat , too. Tnx for notihng
@seba4271pierogi π
@oxygen63good
@bianca77889Went to nursing school in Hell's kitchen and ate some of the best food there. Worked in Flushing for most of my career and live a stone's throw away. Still go back to my favorite Chinese bakery. I've visited many of the areas you mention and this diversity is why New York is great.
@queens6583Hi John. Do you offer any NYC tours? Im hoping to come from UK in January 2024
@JRChannel0In winter Iβll be in New York for 2 years and I hope it be a great and a peaceful experience
@Goku_solos-w1vI love the graffiti murals in bushwick..such amazing art there!
@adventureswithcarl123I thought he was going to come out with a video on the flooding Park Slope received a few weeks ago.
@DukeBXWestchester County especially in the winter feels very local. I felt like the only tourist. It was fun
