This is my channel, this is how I film my videos, if you want to see videos of just the streets, there is other channels that do that, don't tell me how to make my videos.
This was my stomping grounds from the early 60's till moving there in 1974. I had a sweet studio apartment on 3rd Ave near 75th Street (aka Bay Ridge Pkwy). Rent was $90/month including gas and electric. And I had a freakin' YARD to boot. A fantastic neighborhood then. Almost exclusively Norwegian, Italian and Greek. Low to non existent crime and this was during NYC's 1970's crime heyday. Hung out at Cannonball park (101st and 4th). The real name is John Paul Jones park. Bliss park had some swell concerts in summers. Usually, crappy local bands but it sounded great. With my girl, a few joints and Boones Farm I was set. Glad you spelled Verrazzano correctly, fuhgeddaboudit.
Wow this is a great tour I really liked how your walking and talking with us through each place, I am moving to Bay Ridge and this was a really great introduction to the neighborhood and place keep up the great content, you are appreciated !!❤️✨
Funny you mention it reminds you of Astoria because I feel the exact same way! Both right by a major bridge and both have a large Middle Eastern community
I came up from Philly for business and had to go to Queens I stopped at the park at the 7-minute mark and it was the most beautiful views of the bridge, the city, and the ocean. An ocean liner went by and it was awesome.
A Great Video. I am glad you walked my old neighborhood. You brought back a few memories. Glad you started out at Ovington and 3rd Ave, where I was borned. Again, Thanks for sharing.
What's up Manny? Man, I haven't been there in years. That's not the Brooklyn I grew up with. Miss that diversity. Here in Chicago the different cultures are usually in different areas of the city, not mixed together like that. It does look like Jersey. So cool you can see the bridge from there. You're very good at showcasing these hidden gems.
That's what I heard, that lots have changed here, and that's what I like doing, showcasing these places, if i visit Chicago, i would like to meet you guys.
Manny, I lived on the army base there and walked through John Paul Jones park to take the city bus along Shore Road to Fort Hamilton High School. 86th Street between 4th & 5th Streets was the place for Bay Ridge shopping. 3rd & 4th Streets from the bridge northward had restaurants. Some wonderful memories there.
Think you mean 3rd and 4th Avenues, not streets. Always called that park Cannonball park. The shopping on 86th street went from 4th Avenue up to Ft. Hamilton Pkwy. Was a great area in the 1970's. A fair amount of eateries along 5th and 3rd Avenues. I lived there from 1974 till moving upstate in 1989.
@@martyjewell5683 OK great, thank you for the corrections. Loved exploring the neighborhood back then. I know why you called it "Cannonball Park!" A few cannons on the base, too. Do you remember Tiffany's restaurant close to that park? Divine cheesecake there. Miss the area so much. How fortunate you were to live there so long.
@@NDNelson Yes the Tiffany Restaurant. I saved a paper placemat from there and framed it. Went there last in 2011, hear it's gone now. Remember the St. Patrick church baseball fields across from Cannonball park??? That's all apartment buildings now. As kids we watched them build the Verrazzano bridge. I went with a girlfriend to the Easter Dawn service at Ft. Hamilton in 1970. Went there again for my draft physical later that year. Those cannons in the park (and on the base) are from the Civil War.
@8:44 ... that's where I live Manny!.with the black awning..95th and shore road... thanks for the tour..come back for some delicious food!! We love Campania's for the pizza and great middle eastern food further down in the 70s. Safe travels where ever you go.
I had middle eastern food in the 70s street, it was a Turkish restaurant and really good, you live in a nice area, definitely coming back and would like to try the pizza.
Hey can I ask you a question? Is it safe for black people to visit ?I'm asking as a black latinx person. I heard certain parts of south Brooklyn are not safe
@@endangeredspecies5005 I work over there it's soo peaceful. When I was working in Bed Stuy I didn't feel that same peaceful energy. I saw too many black people and I started not to feel safe.
Hi there Manny, a great walk and tour, NY does have a great cultural mix, London is the same! Great vlog as always, you know we like your vlogs of more unusual parts of NY...be well my friend👍👍👍
Lived at Flagg Court apartments back in 1977. Used to go to Skinflints on 79th. & 5th. every night after getting off on my shift. Hot girls in that area at that time.
My opinion is that you should have filmed the streets, not filmed yourself walking the streets. I turned it off after watching you.
This is my channel, this is how I film my videos, if you want to see videos of just the streets, there is other channels that do that, don't tell me how to make my videos.
Your opinion is a real peice of shit thing for a human being to comment.
@@MannyExploresVlog learn how to take criticism, dickhead. Your videos suck. No one wants to watch your face for 11+ minutes
😂 BRAVO 👍🏻 👏🏻 , I love your videos 📹 thank you

My good old neighborhood! Miss living there!
Beautiful view of the Verrazzano Bridge there at sunset
Brooklyn is really diverse. Love how that area looks, and you are so right, you have everything in NY, all types of atmosphere and paces
Pretty diverse like Queens, there's a bit of everything in NY
Wow this is a great tour I really liked how your walking and talking with us through each place, I am moving to Bay Ridge and this was a really great introduction to the neighborhood and place keep up the great content, you are appreciated !!❤️✨
Thanks for your kind words and wishing you the best on your move to Bay Ridge.
Great clip. Those multi million dollar houses definitely ain’t middle class though. That’s big money.
Funny you mention it reminds you of Astoria because I feel the exact same way! Both right by a major bridge and both have a large Middle Eastern community
Yes it really does look like the Astoria of Brooklyn, I need to make a vlog about Astoria.
Looks like a beautiful place! Love the views. Really nice that you got there at sunset so it was extra gorgeous!
It was a perfect timing for me to catch the sunset, it is indeed a beautiful place.
Your videos are so calming!!! Brooklyn is huge, which I never knew.
It's super big, there many places in Brooklyn that I havent explore yet.

Small world, I'm glad I brought you back to you're old neighborhood.
There is some great pizza out in Bay Ridge, too!
I heard about it, next time when I visit I'll try the pizza.
Nonos is a good pizza place
Lived there as a kid. Nino’s pizza still the best ai ever had!
BASSicViking Ahh never made it to Nino’s, but heard great things. Really liked Espresso and Pizza Wagon
Pizza Wagon best square ever
Really like Bay Ridge - very low key area and diverse
Food and Footprints- Greg and Jumi How are the apartments there? Are they expensive or reasonable?
@@stevepolanco9887they are in the middle, I would know I live here
Bay Ridge! Another popular Brooklyn spot.. I just need to visit one day like you and just explore 👍 Thanks for taking us around!
It's a big neighborhood, and worth a visit.
FYI. Bay Ridge was rezoned in the early 1960s, and part of Bay Ridge from 53rd Street to 59th Street became Sunset Park.

Awesome, you live in a nice neighborhood.
@@missbeehaven2023 same!
Is bayridge a good area/neighborhood (in terms of what goes on, are there lots of drug deals and gang problems? Stuff like that)
Bay ridge is a good area, I dont think there is gang problems there.
@@MannyExploresVlog ok thank you
It a military base
So that's why Bay ridge ppl talk like their from Jersey Shore or sum shit theyre literally right there😂
You didn’t take the Boat ⛵️ 2.75$ next time
The ferry is fun, i've taken it many times aroun,d but never took it to Bay Ridge.
