WOW, what a beautiful sunny Sunday morning drive. I am now 90 and it has been some seventy years since I was last here. Thank you so much for your time and your City. Jim Hatboro, PA
Absolutely loved this video! 😍 It's so fascinating to see the iconic Manhattan streets and landmarks come to life as you drive around the city. It felt like I was right there with you. Can't wait for more content like this! Keep up the great work!
The only thing that bothers me is all the annoying double parking in the streets, but apparently it’s okay because the police doesn’t seem to give a shit about it.
The video is beautiful , clean roads and streets are fascinating . A lots of buildings and the offices x the cafeterias are arrangeding along the road . The weather is sunny and beautiful.
@@aviverde9031 exactly... wtf is wrong with them... they came like 100 cops, 50 firefighters, etc. and they block all the traffic and just stay there doing nothing.
@@crixxxxxxxxx So 100+ responders need to investigate? Why that many? I bet 25 would be able to do the same job and the other 75 can go respond to other things going on in the city.
Thank you from Germany for the great ride, brings back memories of my NY vacation and a cab ride from Manhattan to Frederick Douglass Blvd along the East and Harlem river. 👍🥲 PS: I drove a taxi myself for 25 years in Germany, the trip was a nice experience!
What a beautiful shoot, I've always wanted to drive in other cities, and New York has always been my favorite, one day I'll do it, rent a car and do this trip around the island. Have you ever thought about making a video driving at night, the city lights must be sensational. Parabéns 👏
Superb scenic thank you so much. Are the inner streets and avenues as much of a breeze to drive on a Sunday (provided there is no accident to be cleared)?
This video is great, I have driven into NYC from CT on business a couple of times alongside the Hudson river and into Chinatown and out again, but being the driver you can't take the sights in whilst watching the road. NYC is so much more car friendly than London with restrictive cycle and bus lanes everywhere plus thousands of cameras waiting to catch you out if you make the slightest mistake. I learnt to drive in London in the mid 60's and used to drive in fairly regularly on business up until the 2000's, but not anymore its a nightmare. Driving in the states is more relaxing and less stressful except maybe at peak times. Thanks for a brilliant free sightseeing ride, its as if I am in the passenger seat with you.
What an incredible driving adventure around Manhattan! It's mesmerizing to see the city from different angles and witness its vibrant energy. From the iconic skyline to the bustling streets, you captured the essence of Manhattan perfectly. Driving around the island must have been an exhilarating experience, taking in the diverse neighborhoods and landmarks. Thank you for sharing this unique perspective and allowing us to virtually join you on this exciting journey! I am your new friend.
Manhattan Nyc, the center of glamur and the historic birthplace of New York City is beautiful. From the evening drive, passing by the sparkling streets , looks awesome...
i love this.... i just checked . There are 118 398 taxi or for hire vehicles in New York.... Belgium has 10089...i can't imagine how big New york must be....
Hi Sir just come across your channel loving it so far wow that’s a lot of NYPD on that crash . Loving the seeing the sites and sounds off NYC again looks amazing weather . Watching from the U.K.
@@Arkiasis Jumping on the highway is certain death. Jumping in the water may not actually cause death. I’m not an expert on how high you need to jump from into water for it to be fatal.
I just recently found your channel and loved the ride. What is the area around the 48 minute mark? I haven't seen this area in other videos I've watched. Thanks for a great ride.
Greetings from Galway City, Ireland. Thank you for the tour. Any chance you could talk us through what is going on? Landmarks, insights, the trivia that only a Taxi driver knows. If not possible during, post-script in edit. Very much enjoyed.
I ride my bicycle across the GWB and down the Hudson Greenway whenever I visit the in-laws in NJ. Watching you in that gridlocked slog north on West St after you exit the tunnel just confirms that I am better off on a bicycle in Lower Manhattan and that if I ever needed to drive a car in Lower Manhattan, I would leave it to the pros like yourself.
Just prepare yourself. Its not as clean as this. Theres a lot of litter and trash in most of the big cities but they try to keep the core parts of the city trash free. Im not saying this to ruin your dream but to lessen the shock once you arrive.
@@fixieroy There's really only a few countries that are generally more clean. Even major cities in most of western Europe are dirty and have waste management challenges.
I did the drive from JFK to New Jersey, Staten Island to JFK and the West Side highway 34 years ago on my honeymoon from the UK. All interesting to see again. Cheers
I hope no Germans are watching this because they will get heart/anxiety attack from how you are loitering in the fast lane for like half an hour for no reason
It's Manhattan. Those rules don't apply. Plus, there's so much traffic we use all available lanes, otherwise no one will get anywhere. In fact, most rules don't apply to New York City (ex. right on red - you can't do that in NYC).
@@maxjakobsson8491 Manhattan driving is not for everyone ;) That said, we're more concerned with cars trying to get over on one another, better known as cheating the line. I don't usually mind it if someone's in the left lane, I just pass them and move on with my day. Most New Yorkers have the same mentality, we have places to be and we don't have the energy to get mad if they're not trying to piss us off. Also, this is on a Sunday morning where traffic is relatively light; it's much crazier on the weekdays. Mileage Mike did a great video on driving tips in New York City. It's a good watch and he's mostly spot on with it.
ya, New York is terrible with the left lane. Most of USA understands the left lane is for passing but NY and NJ don't get it. NYC is just terrible period for driving.

This video is an absolute thrill ride! It's incredible to see the bustling streets, iconic landmarks, and the ever-changing scenery as you navigate the perimeter of the island. The fast-paced energy of New York City really comes to life in this video. I found myself getting lost in the sights and sounds of the city, feeling the excitement of each turn and intersection. Thank you for taking us along on this exhilarating journey around Manhattan. It's a fantastic way to experience the vibrant spirit of the Big Apple! 🗽🌆🚗
51:35 - 52:35 The Double Parking Throughout the whole street is crazy! You literally can't even drive though it without going though the double yellow and stuff.
I am from Europe and what I see is that our cars are smaller, more colourfull but not so clean :D our roads are in better conditions :) Greetings from Poland/Germany/Netherlands!
Cool video, It's nice to see Manhattan from this perspective. Just 1 question. WTF was going on at around the 19 min mark where there is the massive police, ambulance and fire department presence. Most of them standing around so it didn't seem too serious. It just seems a huge response for something minor.
Interesting fact 2:25 Bridge is the older bridge in the state and one of the older in the country, is older than the brooklyn bridge...The High Bridge.
jo då, om det är ekonomin som hindrar dig så är det väldigt, väldigt billigt, billigare än vad du kanske tror, ett par hundra kronor för ett pass och sen tur&retur Arlanda - New York - Arlanda kostar totalt 5 800kr för en vecka nu i September med SAS. Hitta nåt billigt hotell så kan du uppleva en vecka i New York för mindre än tio tusen.
I know right, over twenty emergency vehicles and most likely ~100 police and fire responders. That's too much. Why would they need to *think* what had happened, don't they have traffic cameras over these highways? I mean most countries do.
May 14 2023 around 10:08am man jumped off the Manhattan bridge and landed on the southbound FDR. At 19:37 on the left side is likely a white sheet over the body. Sad.
WOW, what a beautiful sunny Sunday morning drive. I am now 90 and it has been some seventy years since I was last here. Thank you so much for your time and your City.

Did you say "fuck the police"?! Oh oh i get it *call fbi*
I'm impressed by how some building are built over the damn highway. Like the apartment at 11:15. It's like held up with a couple concrete pillars.
I like that 2
Incredible! Love this video. Always glad to see something new from you!
Thanks for the video . Blessings.
Totally enjoyed this video, thanks much!
The video is beautiful , clean roads and streets are fascinating . A lots of buildings and the offices x the cafeterias are arrangeding along the road . The weather is sunny and beautiful.
what a neat idea---driving full circle around Manhattan. Definitely going to do this someday!
*phone rings*
Nico it's you cousin , let's go bowling
Nico - sigh
Thank you very much taxidriver. Great tour!!
I love this driving tour,great view of Manhattan.
19:37 A man jumped off the Manhattan Bridge and landed on the FDR. The white sheet is covering the body.
I knew I saw a white sheet. I was thinking it was a motorcyclist.
hey joe, some guy jumped from the bridge!
oh wow! lets go check it out !?
/ 100 cops arrive ... nonsense
@@aviverde9031 exactly... wtf is wrong with them... they came like 100 cops, 50 firefighters, etc. and they block all the traffic and just stay there doing nothing.
@@ToxicPulse They do that whenever a fatality occurs. A whole investigation needs to be conducted before removal of the body.
@@crixxxxxxxxx So 100+ responders need to investigate?

Grande condução por Manhattan da incrível New York City - EUA, muito obrigado meu nobre brother pelo o seu excelente vídeo.
as a person thats lives in new york i can confrim this is amazing

Fantastic, thank you. I drive daily in London England, New York is also beautiful seen from the road.
What a nice day! I miss driving around New York
i love your videos . keep going
Great video!
Amazing ！
Fascinating video, thanks so much! Can you talk about which camera you used and how you mounted it on your car? I would really appreciate it!
New York City is so beautiful.
Excellent video quality.
Beautiful Manhattan!👍👏🥰❤️🇺🇸
This is one of my favorite driving videos, and it just so happens to be taken on my birthday.
I see you like the left lane a lot
xD
The best ride ever ! , Thanks NYC Taxi Driver 🤟

Great job and be careful with the Traffic around you

It's a bit windy eh. I love this place. I hope i can do my driving tour here..more power to your channel.
A classic, monumental Manhattan drive and a great New York experience complete with a dead body covered in white sheet at 19:35.
I think I counted 21 emergency vehicles and most likely ~100 police and fire workers. All for one jumper? Seems like a waste of resources.

It was a man who jumped from the bridge.
@@crixxxxxxxxx really 😮
@@crixxxxxxxxx Why would you jump from the bridge onto the highway and not the water which looks to be much higher. Also no barriers?
@@Arkiasis Jumping on the highway is certain death. Jumping in the water may not actually cause death. I’m not an expert on how high you need to jump from into water for it to be fatal.

Thanks NYC Taxi Driver.

Good to see One World Trade Center rising in the background at 19:14, I really miss the Twin Towers.😢😢
This reminds me of the game Project Gotham Racing

Simply to may cars for the space available..
I am from Europe and what I see is that our cars are smaller, more colourfull but not so clean :D our roads are in better conditions :) Greetings from Poland/Germany/Netherlands!
We must take into account the fact that more than 20 million people live in New York and the roads wear out faster.
NYC has very harsh winters in comparison to most of western Europe which benefits from the Gulf stream.
what an absolutely unbelievable city, it has always been my dream to live in NYC but the housing market would make that impossible lol
Wow we even get to know the temperature.

Person jumped from bridge, you can see body covered by white sheet.
Was in NYC in February getting my cruise ship before got the cruise spent two days in NYC ( basically on the door step to times square 😂)

This is a great video.Not sure about the mic, with all that wind noise..
There are trees in NYC?? 😄😋
