Even though this series is dark, I enjoyed every minute of the video. Also, Tom is halfway to 100K subs. YESSSSSSS🙌🏾‼️

Tom, we need some "Sick Plug" T-shirts.

As a New Yorker these vids are especially interesting keep ‘em coming

I like how you weave the jokes and weirdness in the video.

Hey Tom, I'm a selfish kind of guy and I am glad you left that profession you worked so hard for, these videos are great and I think it's your calling! Thank you for this quality entertainment!

When you said Dorian, that Red Hand bar & Preppy Murderer was my first thought. I think that poor girl haunts that well. 👻

A good movie example of Soho's dark side is the 1985 film "After Hours".

I love his story delivery.

"They're gonna know you're a tourist and they're gonna rob you." 😭😭😭

Thanks for another great video Tom! Been missing you. Please don't stay away so long.

The Eton Patz story still upsets me, and it's been over 40 years! That poor mother!

When I first came to the city in late 1980, Etan Patz was all over the headlines. SoHo was a sleepy little hamlet compared to now, so the commenter below probably didn't realize the mother was lulled into thinking, "What could go wrong?"

Your content is superb and incomparable! Thank you.

Totally enjoyed this Tom.

Ok, I was doubting if subscribing or not because of your dubious silliness, then the stories got good and at the end of the video, when you scratched your balls, you've got me man.

the murder well at COS is my fave spot in all of NYC. The store workers actually don't mind folks coming downstairs just as long as you're nice

youre killin it tom! CHANNEL IS GROWING EVERYDAY!

Hi Tom I'm a new subscriber I love your channel I've never been to NYC but always wanted to go I love your tours I live in upstate new York between Rochester and buffalo

I dont understand why you dont have more subscribers. I love your videos. Knowledge with quick wit. Thank you.

Always enjoy your videos! Stay warm!

Tom is great!! So good makes me laugh and I learn a lot

Love it! As a parent, the stories gave me a cold shiver! But maybe its because the temps here in Michigan are in the single digits!!

Visiting NY later this year, been loving your videos. Great stuff.

Love the series. Will you be taking us through Coney Island? Some pretty dark stuff there,

Nice to see your channel gaining steam Tom I knew it would keep at it love your content always cheers mate.

I am not easily amused- but you crack me up. Love true crime (& unboxings) with a splash of dark humor.

Wow,I actually did support work at this store, and now I have an antidote to share with customers should they ask about this large brick well that's located in the Men's department at COS.It's a beautiful design element, BTW!LOL!!

Thanks for posting!! Perfect timing. I love this series

I was born in 1967 grew up on Spring street between Sullivan and Thompson in the 70’s it was an Italian neighborhood ran by the Genovese family. We also had Portugués people. It was the safest neighborhood to grow up in. After the factory’s would close at 5/6 and you didn’t live in the neighborhood you would get a beating. We had social clubs on every block

"That's gotta be a red flag of some kind." Yes! Lol. Love the encore at the end for the 'sic' good-bye. Tease, geez. About it.

I absolutely love these. I could watch them all day!

More dark stories about the true New York pls! Thanks for always keeping it light no matter how dark the subject… Keep up the great work!

New NYC walking tour video from that Tom guy...nice! If you'd have told me a year ago that by Feb 2022 my favorite youtube channel would be some dorky dude walking around nyc spittin' useless facts, sick plugz and flat jokes...well, i'd-a said you crazy! Great stuff, thanks Tom!

Excellent yet again. Thought you weren’t gonna get the mandatory ‘lying on a bench’ shot in, but there it was near the end! Ha ha Keep up the good work my man!

I worked Right Across the street...after this occurred. At 65 Sullivan a neighbor was killed by her roommate...about 4 years ago.

Do you think at COS they tell customers about the dead girl in the well? Do they even know? hhhhmmm......I like these dark side video's. Once again you and Eric did a great job!

Always informative as ever, maybe it could be balanced with a ‘light side’ version as well. Still planning on hitting the Big Apple in late September and bringing a few of my family and friends from this side of the pond here in England (Brexitland 🤭🇪🇺). Hope to see ya soon 🤗👍🏻😉.

Peter Davidson w/ Whoopi Goldberg & Samurai swords 😭😭😭 I can't!

My mom (new yorker) *always* called it "Avenue of the Americas", I think the name impressed her

I liked this one, good job! Hard to imagine all the green space in Manhattan

amigo Tom, este mes ando binge watching tus videos. tengo un bromance jaja love your sense of humor

What amazes me is how much history we are walking on daily in Manhattan. Must be a lot of spirits roaming through all those streets and buildings. 😱🤣

Love your videos!

I like watching unboxing. Because I know that person is happy they are getting a gift and something they need.

Your humor is F**king amazing. Great content, thank you.

I love how you label your patrons!

All that history & atmosphere in one neighborhood. Personally, I’m more comfortable in Astoria, Queens. Flushing Meadows is groovy too.

The ball adjustment at the end is classic lol😅 hey im a patrion chill out

I love these types of videos. Keep them coming.

Interesting and and quality all the way. Thanks

Absolutely awesome Tom . Keep on doing what you do so brilliantly 👏.

Nieghborhood still has problems. I live at Sullivan and Spring. I have messed up experiences everyday. (Part of the charm). This morning while hanging out at my car during Street cleaning, while chatting with the lady parked behind me doing the same, a paranoid schizophrenic stopped in between us, about 20 feet from either of us and just screamed at us and even jumped up and down enraged. We paused, let him pass, then finished our conversation about parking rules. 2) 6 weeks ago a serial kill shot 2 homeless people within a block of either building I work out of. Within 20 feet of my entrance door, on camera. Its on youtube. Great enighborhood but has its sketchiness intact.

Hey I bumped into a macabre death to put in your next video. Bobby Driscoll (child actor who voiced Peter Pan in the Disney movie) was found at 371 East 10th St. of heart failure and buried on Hart Island in an unmarked grave. Creepy!

I don’t think you’ve ever mentioned it but the fugue episode of Hannah Upp in 2008 would be an interesting topic to talk about in a “dark side of…” video. Love your presentation of NYC history!

I enjoy how educational all your episodes about the history of New York City and all BUT no matter how great your show is every neighborhood you every other KZreadr cover are what a real New Yorker like my self say Time Square. You want to show REAL DARK AND HELLISH HISTORY bring awareness to the injustice and horror Harlem Washington Heights Inwood let’s not forget BRONX South bronx faced in history being awareness to those place. These are the videos that miss inform none New Yorkers and have them believe that 96st Harlem !

I enjoy your videos and stories, and one thing you should know is you can replace Jim Carry for a possibly upcoming remake or sequence of the movie "Mask" if they ever decided to make :D

This guy’s great I got this when watching German in Venice and this guy is no less wonderful than the German dude in California I hope he gets lots and lots new subscribers like myself

I've shared tons of your videos and channel links to my friends and family. Keep up all the hardwork and getting us these awesome facts

Thanx for ruining my day again! OK it's my fault I wasn't doing what I was tasked to do at work! Fine but these videos are so awesome I won't cave to the pressure anymore. LOL as the kids say...

Peace! Tom where did you cop that belt? Me and wife have just about all your vids! When I touch down I need a tour!

Glad to subscribe. You seem to grow on the listener! My son graduated from law school last year. He previously received two degrees in music previously and is a great fiddle player! Can’t make money!

It's not just in big cities. In a quaint NJ suburb an old lady's house burned to the ground. The Only person that called the fire Department lived on the Next Street.

RIP to all the victims, very sad. ♥️

You need to do a "son of sam" video

Your tours are cool

"Lots of apartments in New York smell like rotting corpses." 23:01 But some more than others…a woman who lived on the first floor of this building died in her apartment, and because she was a widow, nobody checked out the situation for over a month. After the police came and the body was removed, the apartment was sealed-before it was renovated and the rent quadrupled. [Another crime against humanity.]

Love This Series.

Note: the industrial history of SoHo wasn't really discussed, but the neighborhood was home to many factories up through the 70s; when I lived on St. Mark's Place in the 80s, I had a neighbor who had worked in a Christmas-ornament factory in SoHo. When the factories cleared out, the artists moved in; SoHo in the 60s and 70s was one of the original artists' neighborhoods; when I was in art school in the 80s, a friend of mine and I would "do" the galleries after classes. Mary Ellen Mark kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zqtmw8OIabq_mJc.html was one of the many SoHo artists; she had-probably still has-a loft on Prince street.

Juan Rios....I recognize that dude!! 17:47

Used be great place in the 80s lots of good bars restaurants slowly changed to what is now

I’m so glad you didn’t say anything dark happened in the old building I’m staying in inn 6th Avenue, although it is very close to the first two murders you talked about. Poor little Etan, so sad to hear about an innocent little child.

Levi Weeks looks like ur typical Hollywood actor of today. I thought u were posting someone from today for a second! Ha!

4:56 you missed an opportunity for a sick plug you mentioned Federal Hall in another of your tours. 20:10 missed another sick plug? What's happening?

Dark side of soho Pete Davidson makes Whoopi w Goldberg 😂

great intro w the chapstick

4:30 dude 😂😂

40 years living in New York City and I never know that meant south of Houston! Lmbo

Gloves & zipper that jacket! Stay toasty 🌞

New YOrk City was occupied by British soldiers until 1783, at least.

It was a very entertaining and interesting. I love New York. ❤
