    Tom, I mean this in the most sincere way possible, but you have the body language of my 76 year old Persian grandfather. It's uncanny how comforting it is. Hope you have a good day dude!

    I am at a point in my life where I check everyday for new Tom Delgado uploads, my wife and I impersonate him and our weekend is now made because we can watch his latest work. Yeah, that's how we roll in the mid-west at middle age! =) So...Chill Out

      The Midwest must be a dismal place to live if impersonating this guy's videos is the highlight of the week. I'm sorry

      15:42 Phil: *"You owe me nothing"* Tone sounds not happy, fed-up with hearing about not going along.
      What does Tom mean by "us" previous to that? Are Tom and Phil friends/video team/couple/partners/married?
      If not, why would you 'feel bad' on Phil not being able to go along assuming he is being paid to be the 🎥 assistant and Tom is on a limited production budget?
      Phil has his own career. Give him the respect for his camera work. It's not easy given the speed Tom walks, especially with new running shoes. 😃
      Asked the question because it detracts somewhat with the tour to hear a spat, arguement, developing in the video.

    Lots of 1970s movie locations at 72nd St. They showed the 72nd St.Station in Death Wish (beginning) and, as you mentioned, in the Warriors. Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) lived at 33 Riverside Drive in Death Wish (where Jeff Goldblum's character and two other gang members assaulted his wife and daughter. Toward the Hudson from 72nd is where the murder of Roseann Quinn (depicted in the 1977 movie, Looking for Mr. Goodbar) took place.

    Hi, big fan from Seattle area, your tours are great! I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, how neat to see the temple right there. I didn't realize it was so close to Lincoln Center. Thought I'd throw out, that NY temple took two years to build, and was dedicated in June, 2004. It's not as fancy as some temples, like the one in Salt Lake, but is beautiful on the inside and also, soundproof. Best wishes, looking forward to many more tours!!

      Zabars, the first time I entered the store, the power of the wonderful spices, the salami and the cheese stunned me in a memoriable way that I always remember. Loved shopping there. It felt like you were selecting items from around the world, and you were.

    Hello tom, thanks for another great video, I got my information walk in for the day :-). Keep up the good work man.
    Also I thought of an interesting video call me you should do a video on how to get around New York if you're in a wheelchair :-) I know it's a very specialized market but it would be interesting. I've had to figure out all sorts of interesting ways to get around Seattle; like entering one building on Pike Street going up too far and getting out just to end up on the street level with the market. I'm sure New York is the same way for anyone in a wheelchair lots of secret inside knowledge. Anyway it's just a thought.

    Loved this one! I've been wanting you to do a UWS video for ages 😊 IDK what was cooler: the general history, the lovely old buildings, the violin lady or the Sugar Bar. I remember Ashford & Simpson's hit "Solid" from the 80s, but didn't know/had forgotten that they wrote "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "I'm Every Woman". Very cool! Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

    Another great tour! I have to be honest, I've never been that far up north in Manhattan. The furthest north I've been is 72nd street, never been to Harlem, never been to the Bronx. Although I have been on the circle line tour and we cruised past the northern tip of Manhattan, but that's not really like being there. Thanks for this tour Tom! It was really informative! Someday I will go up past 72nd street :)
