Thank you for the fascinating and informative video Jose! I’d wanted to go to the Cloisters when I’ve been to New York, but never had the time. If I go to New York in the future, I’ll definitely make the time, because of your video!
Videos like this make me appreciate the city I live so much more. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the concrete bustle every time I step outside, so visiting nice & quaint escapes like this is always a nice change of pace. Great video, I'll be watching your tour of my own neighborhood next!
You missed one bit of trivia known mostly only to long timers. If you walk across the bridge on Broadway over the Harlem River to 225th St., you enter the neighborhood of Marble Hill. Even though Marble Hill is now technically off of the island, it is still a part of Manhattan. I loved this part of the City. You are right in Manhattan, but you could walk a few blocks to Fort Tryon or Inwood Hills park, and it felt like you had stepped out of the city and into the countryside.
Hi, Jose. I rewatch your Pennsylvania and Baltimore flicks, especially when I'm up early. Despite enjoying Seattle for seven years and NYC and Hudson Valley for 25, I favor PA and Baltimore. I work from home and travel often. Unfortunately, I was unable to journey east this year. Your films have great music, cinematography, and a serene vibe. I appreciate your goal and bigger mission with On Tour. As a filmmaker, I admire your work on On Tour, which is more challenging than it looks. Your Wilkes-Barre and Uptown Manhattan films are favorites. My fiancee and I visited the Cloisters in 1997, and I still have our day trip footage. Security forbade me from filming in the Cloisters, though I managed to record just a few shots. Keep creating! You are a fantastic artist, and I seldom comment or engage online, but you stand out! Keep going, Jose!
I went to NYC for a few days recently, and explored Inwood after watching this video. The video was very helpful for directing me to places to see in the neighborhood. Thank you!
Grew up in Inwood, left in 1988. Used to find arrowheads in the caves there. Lots of secret nooks and crannies. Was more of a Ft. Tryon and Payson park guy, though.
Hi Jose, Thank you for this video of the Northern Manhattan neighborhood where I've lived since 1960. If I might make a few edits....Isham Park - is pronounced Eye-sham. Wadsworth Avenue was not the long hill that you traveled up to visit the Cloisters. You were on Fairview Avenue headed to the Fort George Hill area also known as Washington Heights. People use the #1 190 St train station elevators to get from those heights down to Broadway. The Cloisters are on the other side of the island in the Fort Washington area - also known as Hudson Heights.Take the "A" train to 190 St, go up in the elevators and the top of Fort Tryon Park opens up for you. I suppose that every video and written article has its errors. The only reason I picked up on yours is that I know the neighborhood so well. Good job though!
Thank you for the great feedback Regina, I will add these edits to the videos notes. I actually filmed a scene by the elevators for my upcoming video in Washington Heights. And good call out on fairview. Wadsworth Terrace was stuck in my head and is one of the side roads from Fairview. My aunt use to live on that street and I would visit as a kid.
Great job as usual Jose, I learned about Peter Minuet in high school, and your video was very educational and informative. I never realized Upper Manhattan was so hilly, and I was not aware of the Cloisters museum, so thanks you for sharing that since I have been to the MET, so good to know.
Thank you Ron. The hills have become a running joke in my other videos and when I filmed Harlem that one really caught me by surprise with the hills. Washington Heights, the neighborhood that follows Inwood has the highest point in Manhattan and its also where the Battle of Fort Washington took place. If you ever get a chance I highly recommend the Cloisters. There is so much more I didn’t cover that are hidden all throughout
The structure itself is from the 1930s but the pieces of every room range back 100s of years. One of the rooms goes all the way back to 900 AD. They've done a fantastic job maintaining these artifacts
Great job jose on this one. I learned so much about the neighborhood in area where I grew up. I played an all those parks incline those hills and inwood

It really is a beautiful museum and in the spring-fall seasons even more amazing with the cloister gardens in full bloom.

A fantastic video! Beautifully done. Thank you, Jose!
Thank you Theresa for the wonderful feedback

The Cloisters! I have a painting, by my grandfather, of the Cloisters from the late 30s/early 40s.
I went to NYC for a few days recently, and explored Inwood after watching this video. The video was very helpful for directing me to places to see in the neighborhood. Thank you!
Hi Richard, did you take a trip to the Cloisters or Park?
Did not have the time to go that far south. That will have to be on another trip!!
This video is awesome! I love Inwood and NYC a lot! Very educational!
Thanks!

You are correct on all counts. I live here too.

That place looks older than what they are saying. wow! Beautiful!
