Little Island isn't exactly hidden nor tramway 🤷🏻♂️
mmumuseumm has closed according to google
midnight moment looks like ai dogshit
Those little sculptures at 14th Street are Marxist propaganda.
I wish I could find a video that actually showed obscure things. All the videos show the same stuff. Any suggestions?
These videos are great, I'm travelling to New York next month I'll definitely go and see a few of these locations 🙌
Great list! Thanks for sharing!
Very high quality explanation.
Great video! I’ll definitely visit most of these places. And at 1:12 — was that your drone or someone else’s?
You’ve got real talent for this.
Always impressive.
Thank you for your video, I enjoyed it and learned a lot👍🏽😃❣️I found some I would love to visit.
I enjoyed the Transit Museum!
Well you were right, I live in NYC, and I knew most of these, but you DID manage to find several spots I was unaware of. And I pride myself on knowing a lot of the hidden spots throughout the city.
I will say there’s an even better waterfall in Manhattan than Paley Park, but it really is a hidden gem that is mostly just known to people that live in the neighborhood. I don’t want to give it away, but let’s just say you can find it in the middle of where the Turtles rest. Anyone that can crack that code deserves to enjoy the beautiful little hidden oasis in the city 😄

Lovely video 🤩
Always learn something from your videos Josh 👌🏿
Happy to say I've been to a few of these places in my two visits to NYC
these videos are so nice thanks! since I don't travel much I live through these haha
So many people in the comments hating on New York City—I’ve lived here all my life, and although I have visited a few other places—Chicago, Philadelphia, Florida, Boston, and New Jersey to name a few—I love my city, people who write it’s dirty, crime ridden and dangerous—you’re absolutely right, don’t come here—and tell me what’s great about your city/state so I can add it to my go-to-visit place. Thanks.
Nah, we'll pass on NY.
Compared to other countries and cities.
It's dirty, crime and dangerous. But hey
they got awesome Pizza and Broadway 🤷🏽♂️
so interesting 😍 New York is calling me now☺
Great video (and NY/LI series, in general)! Next time you’re in town, I’d suggest spending more time on the Upper West Side. So much history to that area, lots of famous movie locations and really off the radar for many tourists. I’d qualify Riverside Park as a hidden gem and also encourage visitors to rent a bike and ride down the Hudson River Greenway (bike path).
Really cool and fast moving video! You guys did so much when you were there.
A very nice video. and it was nice that you took your wife along on this trip.
