Taxi drivers in USA are dressed like pimps and gangsters, in my country we wear suits while driving taxi.😂
Like 482, Great impressive footage capturing the beautiful scenery along the road, thanks for sharing and bringing us to this wonderful relaxing place and stay safe always.
Is it being well-maintained?
Mute this video and play "Taxi 95" by J Blackfoot with the video 1.25x the speed. My my is this perfect....
I was privileged to play this wonderful instrument the last time I was in NYC. Thank you for sharing this video.
Peseant money 🤣

That was sad when it closed down. Mismanagement and Politics might be the problem.
per study, OTB generated Huge Profits for NY! It's a mystery when any profitable business closes. Politics??
Well done.
There was a cat man in Manhattan I’d run into over the decades he would make cat sounds while fishing with gum or a magnet and string in subway grates. I never forgot that guy. He’d always have a crowd around him looking for the cat he could throw the sounds so well. Eventually people would realize it was him.
Where’s the hardcover book ? Awesome coffee table book. Man I want coffee all of the sudden.
Nostalgia aside I imagine if I was blind I might want to live in Manhattan. The orchestra of sounds is one of the wildest on earth. Conversations, traffic, parks, transport, manhole covers going clunk clunk on rainy nights still soothe me. Man these are cool videos.
I’m totally grateful for this channel looking back and hearing the sounds of our old city. Thank you very much all involved. I loved the city back then. And further back. Hohum it’s always been a love/hate relationship. It can be so beautiful and so horrible.
NY story’s. Lotta things used to happen at OTB’s. Good lord. I was going to be nostalgic for the old places at lunch break but yea they were sanctuary’s for sin & cigarettes. They were the 1st warming centers for homeless too as long as they gamble while warming up.
The otb’s customers. Yikes!
HI HOWARD. EXCUSE THE UPPER CASE, BUT I ONLY HAVE A SMALL SMART PHONE SCREEN ON WHICH TO TYPE, AND IT'S EASIER ON MY 76 YEAR OLD EYES. I TURN 77 IN NOVEMBER. I WENT UNDER IN 2013 DUE MOSTLY TO THE CONDITIONS OF CHANGE WHICH YOU MENTIONED. I LOST AND/ OR HAD TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING I HAD BUILT UP OVER FIFTY YEARS. IN GOING THROUGH BOXES IN MY STORAGE THAT I WAS ABLE TO SALVAGE, I JUST NOW FOUND AN ENVELOPE ADDRESSED TO YOU WHICH CONTAINED, COINCIDENTALLY, ABOUT SIX SMALL PROOFS OF HOWARD DUFF WITH VARIOUS FEMALES I COULD NOT IDENTIFY. IT WAS PREPARED FOR MAILING BUT AMONG THINGS I DIDN'T SEND, AS I WAS SINKING AND STRESSED OUT, AND NO LONGER HAD A NEED TO DO ANY MORE VAIN WORK ON A BUSINESS THAT WAS DEFUNCT. NOW I AM JUST HELPING THE PERSON WHO HAS TAKEN OVER MY NEGATIVE COLLECTION. SHELDON SMITH AND GENE ANDREWSKI I COULD ALWAYS CONTACT, AS WELL AS YOU, FOR THIS I.D. HELP. I BASICALLY JUST GOOGLED TO LEARN IF YOU WERE STILL WITH US. I KNOW THAT THIS IS AN OLD VIDEO, AND YOU SHOULD BE AROUND 61 YEARS OLD. I HAD A GOOD RUN UNTIL DIGITAL CAME ALONG AND EBAY ,ETC. NOTHING LIKE OLD DARKROOM WORK LIKE I HAD MASTERED. ALL MY STUFF WAS GETTING REPRODUCED BY OTHERS, ETC. IT WAS SO SOOTHING TO HEAR YOUR EASY-GOING, ELOQUENT, SO FAMILIAR VOICE, AND THE TRUTH AND WIT IN YOUR NARRATIVE. I SHALL SEND THE LITTLE ENVELOPE ON SOON. ANYONE ELSE WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS BY COMPUTER, BUT I HAVE NEVER EVEN TURNED ONE ON, MUCH LESS OWNED ONE. CAN YOU IMAGINE, EVEN MORESO, GENE ANDREWSKI ON A COMPUTER?🤐🙈 I MISS MY TRIPS TO NEW YORK CITY, AND ALL OF MY OLD TRUSTED AND ENTERTAINING FRIENDS LIKE YOU. SADLY I THINK MOST OF THE FOLKS WHO ALSO LOOKED UP TO YOU AS AN ULTRA PRECOCIOUS AND HIGHLY INTELLIGENT YOUNG MAN ARE ALL DECEASED.😫AND THAT'S WHY YOU NOW HAVE ONLY THREE REPLIES TO THIS WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. I COULD LISTEN TO YOU GO ON FOR DAYS ON END, REMINISCING AS YOU WALK US THROUGH THOSE AWESOME FILES; SOME THINGS ARE MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD. IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE, BUT IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE AND IN GOOD HEALTH. CONTINUING TO MEMORIZE CLASSIC POETRY AND PROFOUND QUOTATIONS HAS KEPT MY SPIRITS UP AND MY MIND RAZOR SHARP. (WELL, MY MIND IS DULLING SOMEWHAT SINCE FIRST MY FLIGHT OF MATURE YEARS BEGAN.🤐) WITH MY FONDEST THOUGHTS AND WISHES. 🌠Milton T. Moore, Jr.🌠 🎇LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 🎇 (p.s. THAT GORGEOUS MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND SOUNDS LIKE RIMSKY KORSAKOV, OR ONE OF HIS ESTEEMED COMPATRIOTS.
guy at 1:10 says we'll all be dead lol
That’s that guy who’s always that guy - sounded like Tony Soprano’s 2nd cousin fhoghedaboidit do even know who I am ? Ha
The organ is "overkill".
This dude must really hate Rihana .... for some reason ... write something and i'll tell you why xD
I know little about organ sounds but to my ear the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia sounds much fuller than this one.
Привет!!! У тебя прикольная работа
Couldn't get past the first few seconds without hearing cursing. Not watching anymore.
I've been many times, it is a beautiful experience! Lovely. The ghouls are wonderful!
Having to pay $115 or more a day just to use the cab to pick people up is down right thievery!
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
This guy makes me sick. Shines bright lights in owls eyes at night. Loves to tour his PhD which isn't even in ornithology or anything to do with animals. He's an absolute menace.
I had no idea after all the years working nearby of this beautiful church actually had the largest organ in New York City.
I wana feel bad but like honestly many many can do this job. Cab drivers also drive like complete assholes in and around NYC at one point forcing me off the highway when the fucker was supposed to yield merging, and he's complaining about points from infractions? If a cab driver doesn't wana do it there is another that will do it.
I'm a cab driver and 1 person yells at me calling a a b!tech because I have other people to pick up she is not concerned about others just herself my boss told me to be nice and silent no one els gets free rides or treats me like that why should I put up with that, I'm about to quit
I looked this up for bbh and now I think I'll click off so I don't get weird ass recommendations-
No more crown vics :(
Man.... al those gorgeous Crown Vics... This makes me sad
I know, stunning cars they were and still are
oh man I am SO happy to see this comment this what i was thinking about the whole video. They look amazing man sadly no more of them.
Yes I no the feeling
I remember always stopping by and watching his performance in the subway before going up to work. 335 Madison Avenue. I absolutely loved the way he played. He put so much into his performance. So much talent 👏 🙌 ♥
I would like to hear more of the organ, especially the reed stops, the Trompette-en Chamade, and especially the Bombardes!
This is so sick 😡
"If our Lord can't withstand a few silly demons, gimme a break..." it's a fun, artistic Halloween celebration - it's not "sick".
Bbh brought me here and now I'm kinda disturbed 😐
muffin head for bbh!
Was the church modeled after Westminster Cathedral? It reminds me of it, specifically with the entrances.
Hey cutie! 🙃🙈
what he doesn't understand its a judeo christian society..... which is built around kangaroo court systems..... ironically fate must have a sense of humor.... as morpheus says in the matrix..... because in free society its almost a total conflict of interest to put that expectation in the hands of judeo christians...
They're all Somalis lol
I met this amazing man recently in Detroit Michigan he is a great performance, true class!💕🖤
Chi Chi's voice is like penicillin for me.... cures all evils and raises my spirits
Talented!

I love Lorenzo; he performed for my 40th Birthday party! The utmost professional artist; a real gift.
New York is a toxic place it is not if but when you get your cancer but how much grief you go through living there while you are still alive!
THEREFORE - It is NOT the largest organ in New York City. It is the number of STOPS - representing the number of instruments the organ can play. In a pipe organ, some "Instruments" have more than one pipe per note - as in a IV or V rank Mixture. SO it is incorrect to say that it is the largest based on pipes since Mixtures can inflate the number of pipes. But stops represent the spectrum of tone color and pitch range. Like any orchestra you coulnt the number of players, not the number of strings on the instruments. or the items that can produce a note. such as a violin. It is 1 instrument but has 4 strings. A Mixture IV is 1 stop but has 4 pipes that play simultaiiously. Riverside Cathedral is the largest organ in New York and that may have more pipes than St. Barts. Riverside also has a 5 manual console. So - COunt the stops Then the registers, then the Ranks and then you can calculate the number of pipes. Easy like 1. A doctorate in music. Music that was composed by people who didn't know what a doctorate is.... Surely you jest. If it takes a doctorate to play Bach or Frank or Mozart - a mountain has been made from a molehill. The pomposity, arrogance and ego's have gotten in the way of the ability to make common music
robert shaw that is as asinine as arguing between wanamaker and atlantic city.
I really can't take what you've written as being correct when you write, "Riverside Cathedral" which it is not! Riverside describes itself as interdenominational. Now if you want to hear what is considered by many to be one of the finest instruments in the country walk ten blocks south and east to Amsterdam Avenue to hear Aeolian-Skinner's Opus 150-A, 1954.
