I love Columbus Park. When I lived in NYC, I used to love going to Chinatown on a sunny day, getting a nice meal, then sitting in Columbus Park watching the traditional Chinese musicians. One of the best spots in NYC.
Awesome!
Love this series
Personally, the work of Jacob Riis in documenting the _awful_ tenements of this very area may explain the rise of suburbanism at the beginning of the 20th Century. It's probably not a coincidence the first major suburbs in New York City took off early in the 20th Century, first along the rail lines radiating out from central New York City and eventually along the new limited access Interstate highways built in the 1950's and 1960's.
Really awesome job on this story!! So much information that I had no clue about, even after living in NY for 13 years. Thatâs how Canal Street got its name?! đź Well done on the storytelling and research!
Thank you sm!
I lived right next to it for 4 years as a city student (on lafayette street), walked through that street every week, and never knew it had so much history.
This NYC series is so good and interesting. Love it!
Thank u! That means a lot!
Fascinating đ€Ż
This was awesome đđŸ
"...and most importantly Understand Where You Are". Great perspective to have when traveling.

Such a well produced and researched video! I'm loving your videos
Loved the video and all the history surrounding Chinatown. Fortunately Iâve visited New York several times and itâs always fascinating to learn new things about the city. đœ
The curiosities are endless!
Great, love this â€
great video! as an ABC I spent my life visiting chinatown frequently but I never knew some of the early history. I must say it would have been nice to interview a local as well for their perspective, though!
amazing job !
Nice job putting this story together, that you accurately point out, does not appear in history books.
Really well-done. As a one-time New Yorker, I would have loved having this kind of info at my fingertips at the time to influence my city exploration. Tap into that Johnny Harris energy to reach more people!!
The Tombs are still there. Trust me.
12:12 Wasnât there protests surrounding the Museum of Chinese in America bc the board chair happened to be one of the biggest landlords in Chinatown who allowed de Blasioâs administration to construct a large mega jail in the heart of Chinatown? I remember hearing that the museum got like $35 million as a bribe & the landlord displaced a big restaurant. Asking bc I havenât been to the city in about 2 years so I donât know if there was any development with the mega jail but I really hope it doesnât destroy Chinatown
yes
Wait, you think 1811 was 150 years ago?
Certain parts of Chinatown in NYC barely look and feel like it these days
Into beautiful Chinatown? Wow, never heard of Chinatown here in NY referred to as beautiful. lol
I believe there are something akin to _nine_ Chinatowns in the New York City region. Most of them in what is now Queens and Brooklyn boroughs.
@@Sacto1654 The largest in NY is in Flushing, Queens. It has surpassed the original and Iconic Manhattan's Chinatown
"playing cards".....aka gambling
that historian woman flops her hands and head so much it is VERY DISTRACTING
