Aaaah! New York City! Lived there in the sixties when my children were growing up. Good memories from those times. Life had a good meaning and the expectations of the future were huge. The field of dreams was wide open. If you are from those times and lived there, well then, you know what I’m talking about. America, America may God thy gold refine. . . . .

I was 5... living on 81st Street between 5th and Madison. Used to play hide and seek with my friends in the Metropolitan Museum

NYC amazing

My birth year.

I was 7. Many of these scenes brought back memories of travelling around Manhattan on the Circle Line. Seeing the cruise ships docked on the Hudson along the West Side was a common sight. Also I found it interesting to see how many of New York's prominent skyscrapers (e.g. the RCA Building and Chrysler Building) dominated the skyline, unlike today where they are overshadowed by so many high rectangular style box office buildings. Thanks for posting a very enjoyable video!

whenever the subway fare went up,overnight the price of a slice of pizza went up too

I love looking at the cars from back in the day. I think some of those scenes were from 1967, possibly 1968 looking at some of those cars.

1965! My parents were practically babes!😊

Wilfred Ruffian That’s not what happened, you ignoramus. What happened was that the government began over-taxing the people. Both state and federal levels of government. This is to fund the corrupt military, to provide aid to our “allies,” who’re really just American vassal states, and to provide the elite in government with endless amount of money. Of course, big corporations also take part in this because they have the power to influence government and politicians with money. If you really want things to go back to how it was in the 50s, you’d need to do the opposite of everything I’ve said above. Stop taxing people so much, then people can live better lives. Shut down all military bases abroad, we don’t need them there. Our best interests should only lie with America.

The 1960's was the decade NYC made its transition from the relative calm of the 50's to the era of Taxi Driver.

Beginning of the end.

Greyhound buses in that time. old buses.

Well if this footage was taken a few years earlier up the East River.. they would of seen the Polo grounds played by the NY Giants...a national league team. The NY Mets were a couple years old in 1965. The Brooklyn dodgers had already left. The Aftershock was still felt around this time. The 65 Yankees were practically in last place. They would stay like this for a couple years. Times in NYC were much different then.

Cool. But the music is driving me nuts.
