Some folks like to forget that real, ordinary, good people live in these types of neighborhoods. A city just isn’t the nice, pretty parts. I appreciate your willingness to show us the less desirable parts of NYC. But please make sure you stay safe.

Thank you for visiting Brownsville. I'll pass on a tip I learned when I lived in a dangerous neighborhood. I carried a decoy purse with nothing valuable in it. I carried valuables in pockets I sewed inside my clothes. When people grabbed my purse and ran away, they only got a cheap purse, not my I.D., keys or money.

Thank you Sifat for going into Brownsville to show a different side of the neighborhood. While it does have a dangerous reputation, it does have like every neighborhood, working man and women who are just living their lives and trying to live their lives to the best anyone can, just like the rest of us. Thank you Sifat for showing us this and showing the best of us. Stay safe my friend and be blessed

Your walk through Brownsville was very informative and I can't imagine you getting into a fight with anyone, no matter what part of town you are in for us. You were friendly as always, great job as always! Have many thanks Sifat and please take good care of yourself! 💖

I love your non tourist area videos. Sick of always seeing the same old places and want to see new places. Please keep doing these kind of videos. Thanks

You don’t go to a “dangerous” neighborhood and something automatically happens

As a child, in the early 70's, I lived in this area. The video passed by my old block (Saratoga Ave between Pitkin and Sutter Ave), and I remember catching the subway at the Sutter Ave station. I agree with one of the other comments made when he said there are a lot of ordinary good people who live in this area. However, it was a dangerous place to live, but most people (my family included) who lived in Brownsville probably didn't have much choice because of a lack of family finances (low income). I haven't been to this area in many years, so seeing the old neighborhood briefly took me down memory lane.

Hello from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. This is a very dangerous neighborhood. Thanks for showing it

Thanks for sharing bro, love the city very much

Definitely enjoyed this ! But you might be putting yourself in harms way take more precautions

Thank you so mutch for this Interesting video Mister Sifat 👏👏👍! GREAT TNYCWS 👍👍👍👏!

It's nice that you show some real NY Neighborhoods and give a little History lesson. It's true that many Organized Crime Familys got there start in Brownsville and East New York. Much of the Crime now is Gang related.

Very interesting. Thank you.

Hi , I just subscribed! So glad to find your channel now that AK left. I used to work in Brownsville, it's not that bad, not compared to East NY, on Liberty Avenue and around there. That neighborhood was pretty poor, lots of poverty there and drug use. As for crime, not sure, but I'd walk through Brownsville over East NY any day. Thanks for this video.

Great video, the research you did for it didn’t go unnoticed. I know I appreciate it. Apparently it’s a Crips nabour hood.

Hi, I was born and raised in East New York Brooklyn right next door to Brownsville . these neighborhoods were rough tough neighborhoods. East New York was mostley Italian , Irish, Polish , and Jewish. as rough as the area was it was a great place to grow up and you became what we called street smart. you knew where to be and not to be. i went into the military in 1963 and served till 1969. i lived in New York till 1971 and i than moved to Florida where i still live today. i do still miss New York .

@10:25 The man you encountered was explaining that the way you were holding the camera apparently could have been interpreted as a gang sign, especially since it wasn't obvious to him that you were filming. The man was partially blurred in your video but he showed with his hands the way you must have been holding the camera and how you should be holding it so that you do not have a negative encounter (in that particular neighborhood). In his closing comments, the man told you to realize where you were. In his odd way, he was trying to help you. Be careful out there, Sifat.

I think I understand Brownsville residents, they don’t like people who view them as low lives simply because of their economic background. As someone who lives in a fairly middle class neighborhood, the pretentiousness of some of these white collar workers is enough to make anyone’s blood boil. So I understand why these residents are hostile to outsiders because they refuse to be disrespected.

Your very brave to be walking through a neighborhood like Brownsville with a camera filming. You have to be cafeful those people are crazy.

It is because Brown people reside there, danger is not synonymous with Black folk, lived in the South Bronx as a kid and teenager and never had issues. I live out west with crazies and gun lovers. I am more on guard here than I ever was in the Bronx and in Brooklyn. My 81-year-old father still lives in the hood in the Bronx, still walks every day and never has an issue with anyone. For the bad ones, there are great hard-working people in the hoods who have spent entire lives and have raised generations of family.
