New Yorker of 38 years here: This video is truth. If you think New Yorkers are rude, chances are YOU'RE the one being rude. We've got places to go! Get outta the way! Lol
This is BRILLIANT! As a native New Yorker, I can say that it's absolutely true - no New Yorker has ever been to any of the tourist sites (unless they were dragged there on a class trip in 5th grade)! Really good advice, too! Get outta the way! 😂🤣😁
Yeah the only excuse is when you're with family from out of town or something. I've been to the Statue of Liberty because I went with my cousins who were visiting from England, and I was at the top of the Twin Towers with my grandparents when they were visiting from California, back in the 80s. Apparently my grandmother lost me when I just crawled away between people's legs, and they were freaking out, until I started to cry and then they found me pretty quick lmao
Visited the twin towers August 22, 2001. We had a helicopter virtual ride and I remember we were in the top floor and although u could go to the roof, it was raining and they did not allow to go up there since there could be thunders. We ate there and did some shopping. I always wonder all those friendly people on that top floor, whether they survived or not. It was roughly 2 weeks before the attack. I still have my tickets
So question... I'm a fast walker (Wisconsin hiking ftw), who always plans out where I am going before I start going there.... When I'm moving faster than you guys ... how do I get past you guys when you're not getting out of the way without being a jerk? Can I just weave through the crowd like I normally do? or am I stuck walking behind slow people?
@@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS It's just like when you're driving, faster traffic is in the middle of the sidewalk, slowpokes to the right...unless you're in South Brooklyn, then you're on your own!
As a Native New Yorker this is all facts. Also, as someone who's moved to Staten Island, I second the thing about *not* getting off here. It's a trash bin. And please, walk fast or *Get Outta The Way*
This is all true. I have lived in New York for more than 50 years, raised two kids here, have retired here. Of course, Johnny T is talking about a time before the pandemic, and, I hope, afterward. On "Get out of the way": while we don't hustle in the neighborhoods, midtown is a place where people work. When I'm walking to a meeting, I have to get there on time. DO NOT amble along 42nd Street in the middle of our wide sidewalks, with your kids and your parents and aunts and uncles spread from street-side to building side, as you take pictures and talk and stare. You are interfering, sticking yourself in the middle of my work. Also, as Johnny T says, eat at our restaurants and not at Applebees or other chain restaurants. And yes, ask for directions or explanations, or other help. New Yorkers will always help. That's how we pulled together and survived the September 11 explosions, and you saw us do it. In more normal times, it's how eight million of us live in the same city, along with a couple million commuters who work in the city. (And don't buy any of those "I went to Ground Zero" tee-shirts. That place was the World Trade Center, and that's what we call it. People died, we remember them, we remember exactly where we were about 8:45 that morning, and everything we did for the next few days. It's painful)
"You're interfering with my work" - seriously? Get a grip. The streets are public. Slow walkers and tourists have as much right to be in them as you do. Wanna get to work in time knowing there may be slow walkers out there? Leave sooner. And stop whining.
Ya know, last time I was in NYC, I got lost... didn't know where the subway entrance was... So I asked [not between 4 and 6 because I'm not that much of a jerk] and the guy working in the store actually took me outside, to point out where I needed to go ! Thanks buddy ! Later, a cop also went out of his way to get me back on track. New Yorkers can be friendly and helpful if you, the visitor, are congenial too. Most of the time, maybe not always. But hey, just ask someone else.
I show it to every friend and relative coming here for the first time. Dunno why Glove and Boots took it off their site, but I'm glad it's still on CZcams.
Bonus BONUS tip! Say you cant get some grub at a pizza joint or any of the other culture grub stuffs. Meet your new best friend: the food carts/food trucks. But big news, your about to do somthin stupid. When going to a food truck, NEVER EVER PULL PUT YOUR WALLET! lemmie explain. In new york, we got two "wallets", they are called your pockets. One holds your actually wallet, the other is for easy access to simple dollar bills. The loose bills is for stuff like cab fair, tips, laundramat money AND, you guessed it, food cart payment. The reason why you do this is because one, its slow and takes time. Two, if you pull out your wallet to pay for street food your basically showing off to everyone "i have lots of money, so please come and wack me when im alone and no one is around".
Moved to NYC in my mid 20's (originally from Houston burbs), fit right in & loved NYC for many years! Finally somewhere i didn't walk too fast, or speak TOO bluntly! Loved your video, THIS IS ALL TRUE! True story: Tourists walking down 5th Ave dead stop in front of me, pivot to take a picture of the Xmas tree (Rock Ctr) on a super crowded sidewalk (like sardines), I'm stuck, & late to meet someone BETWEEN 4-6pm after work!!! Ugh! 😁 Amazing video!
I grew up in Central Long Island and even 20 miles away it's a huge difference in the culture. But it's true; seems like post 9/11 New Yorkers were a lot more polite and a lot more helpful. There was no way in hell I would talk to a stranger in NYC when I was growing up in the 70s. One time I was staying in a Sheraton in Manhattan and wanted to go to Bloomingdales. The concierge showed me which subway to take and which cab. My husband is from Missouri and found out the hard way why they call it "The city that never sleeps" Which reminds me. If you ever visit down South, know that we don't do "hurry up", not even in the big cities (except for driving on back roads).
Oddly enough, with a few minor adjustments this video is applicable to almost any major city that gets deluged with tourists. It would certainly work for Rome.
BONUS TIP: If you're staying anywhere in Manhattan, *COMPARE PRICES INTO NEWARK VS JFK*. It's in New Jersey, but bear with me: believe it or not, it's just about the same distance from there to Manhattan. But because it's in New Jersey, chances are plane tickets might be cheaper. I basically learned this the hard way from not knowing Newark existed until I was in NYC and the tickets were $200 cheaper than if we flew to JFK. 🙃
My husband's company used to fly him from Charlotte to Newark via DC. If you have the time and the courage to take connecting flights, check with your airline. He would fly from CLT to DC to EWR. Every connection counted as a leg that would earn double the miles. The attorneys would fly direct from CLT to EWR and couldn't figure out why he had more miles.
Finally(!) made it to both New Park Pizza and L&B in the last week. Both are fantastic! Thanks for the recommendations. Need to get to Louie & Ernie's next. Shout out to Little Vincents in Huntington. Great pie - their use of thyme on a pie is amazing. Thanks!
It’s now 2024. No “mass exodus.” City is teeming with dwellers. Hard to find an affordable apartment. Everything pretty much back to prior to COVID. The everlasting, ever-changing NYC! And still very blue! 💙💙💙💙
A LIer here sent from the Honest Guide in Prague. I cant wait to learn more about the scammers here. I have to admit..Ive been scammed a couple times in NYC but never in Prague. NYC scammers are lower than dirt.
I cant tell you how many times my grandmother tookbus for the free ferry ride to Staten Island and gettingbworried every time webhad to get off and reboard. I was terrified of ending up on Staten Island!😂
I am overly lucky and blessed to have a job where I’m always out here chauffeuring people for work. You’ll always find me posting pics of the monuments and bridges (of course I am OUT OF EVERYONE’S WAY) 😂 there is absolutely no place like the New York City vibe, history, attitude, food and architecture
I’ve been to Yankee Stadium twice in my life: to get my two COVID vaccines. Lol. The only other time I was in that area was at the courthouse nearby for jury duty. Lol
I lived in Vicenza, Italy for 3 years and went to restaurants many times. Then I tried out some Italian restaurants in NYC. Too greasy and not much more than salad, breadsticks, or pasta. AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MY -----.

Every time he says not to get off the ferry in Staten Island I start laughing.
Because it's fucking TRUE
@@Deniki666 Yeah and I lived in Manhattan 2 blocks from the ferry and worked on Staten Island. Hated my life.
Also an honorable mention: There is NO original Ray's!

ive been to New York City so many times. You can't even call me a tourist. But I know the rules up there. BUT THIS VIDEO IS SOOOOO ACCURATE
Question, I'm a Wisconsinite, I walk fast, naturally.. If I'm walking faster than you guys, can I be a jerky jerk and tell you to get out of the way?
I remember my middle school math teacher showing this to us before our NYC trip

The Twin Towers. I remember when they were built and not rented.

@@m.o.c.p.5250 Then you will reap what you sow and possibly be moved if you don't move. Friendly advice to consider.
@@tucor Ever considered that you too might reap what you sow or you think it's a prerogative exclusive to you?
Here’s another tip: DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE WITH THOSE MASCOTS IN TIMES SQUARE. They will literally harass you for money if you do
Yep. The city had to put signs up by them to warn unsuspecting tourists
Please show this on every plane going to NYC from any place that has less than 2 million population.
The 4-6 part kills me every time, it's so accurate.
I watch this video every time I go to New York
Ya know, last time I was in NYC, I got lost... didn't know where the subway entrance was...

Extra Tip: Please don't take a picture of you and your family SMILING in front of the World Trade Center Memorial. A LOT of New Yorkers died there.
Noted.
And?
That memorial sounds dangery
Do people actually do that?
Every delusional democrat does this
They should show this to all tourists/visitors before they come to NYC. I have sent it to my out of town friends who haven't really been to NYC before
I show it to every friend and relative coming here for the first time. Dunno why Glove and Boots took it off their site, but I'm glad it's still on CZcams.

Oddly enough, with a few minor adjustments this video is applicable to almost any major city that gets deluged with tourists. It would certainly work for Rome.
Rome: Seething with suburban American tourists!
Paris: walk as fast as possible, eat as slow as possible.
London: STAND ON THE FUCKING RIGHT!
Hey, look at me! I'm in South Dakota! I'm gonna ask for directions, and take your picture, and not go to work when you're trying to go to work! LOL
don't forget to start your day the right way with a bagel for breakfast! The best is Ess-A-Bagel in Manhattan. Worth the wait in the long line
krispy for vodka , spumoni gardens for square/Sicilian, la bella express for margarita, and lees tavern for clam/calamari slice

Newark is the worst airport on the planet. i've flown out of remote airstrips that operate better than newark and its attached infrastructure.

"But do not get off in Staten." Sadly, you're not allowed to stay on the ferry to ride back, you need to get off and get back on.
Actually there was an original Ray’s. He moved to Verona NJ.
