As a new Yorker, when you said there were so many people I thought it was good you got to see Times Square on a calm day or you may not have gone on. The city was practically empty and calm compared to what a usual day is like. You are brave that's for sure. I can imagine that was very intimidating for someone used to a less crowded environment. It sounds like it was definitely a new experience.

Ive learned from visiting other cities that NYC is pretty big, but have no fear...NYC is a grid, where the Avenues run perpendicular to streets. Once you got that down pack, it's easy to navigate around. Subway system get some getting use too, but the maps are pretty clear. If you make a mistake and get on the wrong one. Just get off on the next stop, cross the platform, and get on the train going the opposite way to get back where you started.

"The bottom line is that New York water is one of a kind. Since water is such a prominent ingredient in pizza dough, the dough in turn also tastes amazing. Pizza chefs across the country are convinced that the minerals in New York water strengthen wheat protein and make dough crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside." This also applies to bagels in NYC. Junior's cheesecake is the best in downtown Brooklyn, NY. Next time you are in this neck of the woods you can try a slice.

Despite what people think, New Yorkers are friendly and helpful.😁

Bagels: Russ and Daughters on Houston and Murray’s on 6th Ave. For Ramen: Kyuramen on Union Square and for Dessert: not just for their delightful little cheese cakes but you have to try the world famous ‘cronut’ - it’s a combination croissant and donut at Dominque Ansel’s Bakery on Spring. It’s legendary.

Thank you, it was so much fun watching you explore my city!! Lots of first timers feel overwhelmed but there’s a reason for that and a trick to overcome it. It’s not just that we natives are used to the crowds, it’s that we identify as part of the crowd; we, all of us, are the city, so you gotta just jump in. The overwhelm calms down when you consider yourself part of it all, instead of simply an observer. Everybody, whether native, transplant, commuter, day tripper, or tourist (etc.), we’re all part of the experience😊

My brother is the principal Trumpet player for the Metropolitan Orchestra in NY. Next time you go to NY check out the cherry blossom trees. They also have different museums like the butterfly museum so pretty.

Living in the least populated capital city in the US as well as one of the smallest (only 10 square miles), I tend to get overwhelmed and paranoid by larger, busier cities like NY or Detroit, but enjoy watching them in walking videos. Will probably always prefer my quaint walking city, but its fascinating to see how others navigate daily life and the particular vibe and sights of different cities. Thanks for taking me along.

The next time you go to a city you don't know use your phone's GPS to find anything you need within walking distance of your location. Set it on walking/pedestrian mode it will tell you distance and time to get there.

You should have taken the tour bus it shows you places you miss, it tours the entire city and you can get off when you see where you want to go.

Yep that's us.. People everywhere... Go to Macy's on 34 th and 7th to use the ladies room.. Worked in the City for over 40 years..❤️

Wow! New York has always been on my bucket list. I learned a lot watching your exploration especially the restaurant ratings! Congratulations on traversing the concrete jungle! Thanks for taking us along. 💫

as someone who's lived in NYC all their life, it was fascinating seeing it through your eyes. It can be quite intimidating and yes there are a lot of people who live (8 mil) here. But I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. to answer your bathroom question we go to Starbucks, a department store, or if we're really desperate the bathrooms in the larger train stations (Penn and Grand Central) but it's a struggle sometimes, lol.

Look at you girl in the big apple, the city that never sleeps, NEW YORK, NEW YORK. My home state. I told you my son lives in Indiana, I always bring him NY pizza in a cooler when I go see him. So glad you got to the city. The memorial is a very emotional trip. Im so proud of you. That was very brave of you going solo..

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I couldn't wait to move out. At 25 I moved to Maine and I have never been back. It is wonderful but it's for those whom enjoy that kind of crazy fast pace life. For me I felt some kind of way just following you around NYC. I don't miss it at all. Glad you enjoyed it and now able to check it off your bucket 🪣 list. Have a blessed 🙌 day. 😉😊🙂

I was raised in the country and visited NYC for 3 days to attend a few broadway shows with my daughter. Day 1 - “People live here on purpose?” Day 2 - “I’m feeling lost. Which was is North?” Day 3 - “I think people live here just to eat at Juniors.” Overall opinion: Shocked there was no sweet tea to be found. Everyone is in a hurry. I want to go back to explore a little more. Could never live there but would like to vacation a bit.

Thank you so much for posting your trip to New York! I'm from Queens NY and left in 1984 to join the Navy. The last time I was in Manhattan was in 2015 to visit my mom. My mom knew how to get around using mass-transit like nobody business. Night life is even more beautiful and spectacular but not by yourself cause it can be dangerous. Thanks for sharing the foods you brought, the pizza's, beef pie etc. I totally miss all the good food, Broadway shows and shopping. You brought back memories for me and I'm 64yrs old. Stay safe and God bless!

I left in 1980 for the Navy, I miss it, but my old neighborhood has changed drastically. (Williamsburg)

Yes, neighborhoods and life has changed for all of us! Look to Jesus! A BIG change is soon to come!

Hey from Jersey 🖐️🖐️... I'm really glad that you ventured out,the city is overwhelming but interesting,many things to do,eat,smell...The night life is beautiful, different crowd, different vibe, wearing comfortable clothes and footwear is a must for me because those blocks are never ending, I'm 15 minutes away and don't go often due to going so much in my younger days, especially the LGB community/parade the end of June,you can meet some really authentic/beautiful people, I'm really proud of you for stepping out of the comfort zone🌹

Nomi , you are too funny when you were saying there's a lot of people.....you ain't seen nothing yet. lol. that was a very calm day in NYC. 🤗🤭😁

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe how empty it was and it was so sweet to hear you talk about how crowded it was! I hate to sound patronizing, but it really looks like an off day like a Sunday as someone else commented. I’m glad you had a good time!

Everytime I watch you I learn something new. You have me adding a new ingredient to my shopping cart everytime you cook too.

You’re so Brave !!!! I’m from New Jersey and I’m watching you in New York, saying to myself, You have to be overwhelmed and then You said it 😇 . There was No way you could focus with that much happening around. New York is A LOT !!!! GREAT VIDEO 👍🏾

Wow 😲 I never knew NY was this busy. I was overwhelmed just watching this video. I'm impressed and yet this city is too fast paced and busy for my comfort level. Although it's nice to view it through the lens of someone else's experience and viewpoint. I guess NY is not the place for me, but it is beautiful 😍

She did so much more than just go to New York, she literally took the path train from New Jersey and had NEVER been to New York !!! Doing that alone took a lot Guts.

I'm from the sticks of Georgia and I've been wanting to visit NYC since I was a young child, I'm about to turn 50 and haven't traveled. People have always asked why I don't just go and my answer has always been because I'm scared that I won't leave. Thank you for taking me with you.

I am a native New Yorker and depending on the area you are in is where you can find bathrooms. Believe it or not you can always find a bathroom or at least from my experiences. All the major transportation hubs have them: Port Authority Bus Terminal, Penn Station, Grand Central Station. The large department store like Macy's Bloomingdales and Nortstrom. The smaller chains have them as well like Nordstrom Rack, Marshalls, TJ Maxx although they are sometimes not as nice. Also Bed, Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

I was born/raised in San Francisco, CA and watching your video reminded me of home. Downtown San Francisco is so similar with tall buildings, people/restaurants, stores and it's hecka diversified. The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), trains go far distances around the Bay Area and it also travels underwater. Now that's an adventure for sure. The dessert you ate (slim, cinnamon, sugar) is called a "Churro" often referred to as a Mexican donut, they're amazing dipped in melted milk chocolate. If you travel out to SF CA ride the train to Berkeley, CA and visit Noah's bagels and Blondie's pizza (so good). I miss my BEAUTIFUL city by the Bay because there's nowhere else in the world that can compare, it's awesome!!

You are awesome lady. I am an introvert myself but I am changing 😊. I am going to be doing what you are doing real soon because I am retiring in a few years. I have driven through NYC and that was enough for me. Just coming into it and seeing the skyline was AWESOME. I am going to it someday. You encouraged me to do so. We have so much in common. You just strike out and GO and that’s how you live. Be safe as always. Your videos are so encouraging. You know how to really live.

Hi I guess because I’m from NY I’m use to the hustle and bustle of it. Be safe and have fun

Darn you, now I have to go to New York to get some Lasagna pizza! haha It looked awesome.

So impressed with how you took on New York. We were there about 3 years ago and like you, the city is overwhelmingly. We were afraid to navigate the subway, knew we'd get lost!😂 It was really fun going everywhere with you, can't wait to do more exploring 😊
