Your video and content is excellent! The audio effect of your "intimate whisper monogue" is very disturbing. you're too close to mic, gain set too high. We really don't want to hear what you mouth sounds like. Very uncomfortable.

I’m planning to travel in July for my Bday, my first trip, and really loved this breakdown of New York City and the surrounding areas. The information was very clear, detailed, and easy to follow, which helped me better understand what to expect and how to plan my trip. It answered a lot of questions I had and will make my whole planning process feel much less overwhelming. I truly appreciate you taking the time to put this together. Thanks so much.

Great job!
@JosPelleritoThank you for your video! We’re coming to visit 1st time to NY.. we’re going to see a Yankee game and sightsee with the kids . We wanna stay in Manhattan - where would you recommend ?? We looked at Times Square hotels but are a little discouraged now after hearing your take ?
@valdez5597The Bronx completely wiped out from earth. Lol
@antoniothepro-1Terrific, informative video. Love the tips you provided as well.
@Gaucho97As an international student who can't afford to live in manhattan , is it safe to live in hunters point 56th avenue, long island city , please help
@prakritirai4066Your video format is excellent ! Love your tips and i find your informaions very s8ncere and very well put together and educational. Respect !
@mrphunny1234Hi..would you recommend to stay at Nomad? I will be on a 10days holiday with my daughter over Christmas, just 2 of us. Somewhere with restaurants/shops/cafes , SAFE and walkable to places will be great. Love your video, very informative. Thanks!
@fruittellerInteresting, however some of your subway information is incorrect. For example - for Soho, you listed the 1,2 trains but left out the #3 train! Also - for Queens - there aren’t 5 subway lines connecting to Manhattan - there are 9 - the E,F,M,R,N,W,#7,A,J trains!
@andrewalbert8828Do your comments sections always attract some of the most retarded people on the planet?
@1214goonerIf you're a solo traveller and don't want to pay for the high price of a hotel room by yourself, I highly recommend The Local NY in queens/Long Island city. It's a very nice hostel and Is located right by a subway station that will take you into Manhattan in 2 minutes and was very reliable. For $40 a night I would happily stay there again.
@zaksmith7574Thanks for the tips. But I calculated, the most expensive is the flight tickets. Hotel is 2nd but for much less %
@niknabeelah7084Thank you so much! I love your calm, wise, and straightforward approach. Your taste is spot on with mine, and I so appreciated the frankness. I appreciate the photographers eye and observational style on the video. I have two introverts and we need a chill place to stay. THANKS. I'll be following you. My son wants to be a music photographer..I appreciate you. West Village for us.
@emiliasimental1825man, im staying in flushing, and was told to just use the subway to manhattan everyday..
@iGoHam2It has changed so much
@annecohen8927One of your fryed chicken pieces looks like a little dinosaur
@GT-xp6bxKinda late but I'm about to travel to NY and I LOVE the tips between topics, they're really helpful, thanks :D
@ponat5449Loved your video! So well done very informative haven’t been in NYC in sometime your video was done so beautifully inviting I’m planning a trip soon.
@java8121DONT GO TO BEGIN WITH. STAY AWAY. CRIME FILTH HOMELESS AND A SOCIALIST COMMUNIST MAYOR COMING INTO OFFICE IN NOVEMBER
@gregmarino5248How is bronx? Is the area safe? Are the hotels good?
@shreyagokani1994hey!! thanks for the travel tip on the subway!! That's such a good deal capping at $34!! Can I tap with a debit card too? I'm coming from UK and will be using my Monzo for all spending :)
@nickyroseroshiniYou never mention the UWS. Every year I come to NYC, I'll stay in Midtown around E. 54th or UWS between 64th and 72nd near Central Park. Everything I need and want is walking distant. I only need to take the subway if I want to go further south into Midtown.
@JessieCole-y5bLove seeing the city from this angle! NYC never gets old ))
@VibeLoreTalesThis video is genuinely helpful, thank you so much 😊
@Ai.zharkyn92nd Street YMCA. Men only. Pickwick near 70s
@MarieHastings-x1lWhat’s do you recommend on midtown east hotels with parking?
@JacobPaz-o3wAll Asians care about in America is PROXIMITY TO WTness and securing their seat at the WT Supremacy table! I watched 10 seconds and knew what he was about because only a WT worshipping adjacent Asian would not see the value in Culturally Rich areas in NY u less they were Asian. NY is the the epitome of the Melting Pot with Asians historically being willing participants as the buffer to serve the Blk community. Asians are the original DEA hires in America being allowed to own grocery stores, cleaners, restaurants…all while miniroties were shut out and destroyed whenever they were successful. Asians only copy and paste (KPOP), and feed off the very communities you say are bad are merchants (Beauty Supply Shops and hair care products in said minority communities while contributing nothing back but Vitriol and disdain (like this video) to said minority and cultural rich communities. So keep COPYING minority people’s music, food (Korean Fried chicken 😂), fashion and even Hispanic low rider Culture and have the AUDACITY to throw your hat in the ring to criticize minority areas in NY!
