hello everyone. It's Saturday, January 23rd, 2021, and it is literally freezing right now, 32 Fahrenheit, zero on the centigrade scale. The time's around 3:30 p.m., and I am in the Bronx neighborhood of Throgs Neck on this chilly, chilly day. I just got off the Q44 bus in the Bronx, the first bus stop in the Bronx over the rocks, White Stone Bridge. Haven't really been to this neighborhood too much, but let's go south and check out what this area is all about. This looks like to be a large shopping center. There's a Target here, as well as a Starbucks coffee and the T-Mobile store. Jason Boyle, he did a show with James and Carla last night. Awesome. Everyone's tuning in now. My gosh, it is freezing and cold. What's the shopping center have to offer? This is a busy shopping center. I did not know this was here. Whoa. Probably because every time I come here to the Bronx on the bus, I

bypass it. I was like, what could be on the first stop in the Bronx, right? But boy, was I wrong. There's a big shopping center here. Let me actually get warmed up because I don't want to stand out here in the cold. Looks like this is a little bit crooked too. I could fix it. All right, my Z is saying I hope I brought hot packs. I have one, but I didn't use it. I have heated gloves right now. I do need to fix this camera though because it looks like it's not set properly. Hopefully, I can fix it. It's hard to set everything in the cold. I was sort of able to set it on the bus, but I just had to like scramble for warm temperatures to set this right. Is this straight now? Yeah, I think it's pretty much straight. All right, I think I'm good now. So, all right, good to be able to warm up. I also have a hat in my backpack. Let me print that out. It's so cold today. You gotta dress down.

and I mean dressed up, not dressed down. Well, I didn't want that to happen. So hard to juggle different equipment and clothing when it's so cold like this. It makes live streaming that much harder. Alright, so I got everything. I got everything except my camera stabilizer. Now I gotta set this again. I saved the camera from falling down. [Music] There. Oh my gosh, so difficult to set everything up. Alright, we're good now. Where did I put my stylus? That's the only thing that's missing. I think I dropped it, to be honest. Oh, we gotta look for my stylus now. Oh, there it is. Found my stylus. There it is underneath my gloves. Here it is. Okay, I am ready for this cold now properly because it was so hard to get everything set up in the bus. Alright, how do you like my new fashion statement? This is the hat that one of my viewers gave to me. If you remember, I was walking in New Jersey and they caught up to me. But this is the

designer if I get focused camera correctly Katherine Lee designer Etsy shop Olive and Ash. Okay, let's go now. Now I am ready to tackle the Bronx in this super, super cold weather. As Swan says, as long as I'm warm. Oh, I am warm. Wow, that was almost a crash there in the parking lot. BJP said it didn't focus on the card. Let me bring it out again just so I could plug them correctly. I am going to use my nose to focus. There we go. Etsy shop Olive and Ash. Here's the hat. Very nice hat, by the way. But it was one of my viewers who met up with me when I was doing the live stream in New Jersey in the Cliffside Park neighborhood. BJP said it focused that time. Had to do a lot of multitasking there just to get it to focus. [Music] I use my nose to focus on the card because my hands are all full. [Music] So there's an urgent care place here at Wax Center, TJ Maxx, Applebee's.

a liquor store. There's a lot of stuff here. Wow, five guys, chipotle, popeyes chicken. I'm gonna head towards the tip of Throgs Neck at Ferry Point Park. I'll check out the Bronx Whitestone Bridge as well. DW with two dollars Canadian or two loonies from Chile, Toronto. Stay warm, kid. If it's cold here, I'm sure it's colder in Toronto. I've even got heated gloves on right now and it feels cold. I've got long underwear on and I've got heated gloves. GRE 68, all the necks are there. Yep, so many necks: Throgs Neck, Little Neck, Great Neck. There's another neck. I don't know if there's gonna be a mistake walking by the waterfronts on this cold, cold day. I don't know. Can I even exit this way? No, I can't. This is the highway. Why am I going this way? No way, it's a street. I can go here. This is strange. This balloon is having trouble staying up because of all the wind.

I knew I was able to exit here. I saw the staircase. Here's the Hutchinson Hutchinson River Parkway. Hutchinson River Parkway, I should say, not Hutchinson River Park. I don't think there's a Hutchinson River Park. This is the Hutchinson River Parkway and Winter Place, and I'm going straight towards Ferry Point Park. You can see there's an exit here on the highway, last exit before the toll, because if you miss this exit, you're going over the Bronx Whitestone Bridge into Queens. I don't know how this park is, but they look pretty nice from the bus. Oh my gosh, why is there so much litter here? There's like gloves and papers and paper cups everywhere. Mass, they really need to clean that up. Also, it doesn't help too because this is a windy day. I'm sure all the wind right now picked up from the waters and the rivers and just blew everything over here. Looks like there's a bunch of machinery here that are used for like

I guess painting and things that need a lot of elevation. This is Sanger Place and the Hutchinson River Parkway. You know, for the first stop in the Bronx on the bus, you would think it'll be much closer to the waterfront, but I gotta walk a while back just to get to the water. I have never been in this part of the Bronx before. Not that this walk over here is too interesting because you got the highway right next to me, and I just focused the camera on the sky. It looked a little bit white before. This hat is definitely keeping me warm. Ralph's saying I'm far off. Stay warm. Yeah, I'm very surprised that first stop in the Bronx is that far away from the park. J Way say, Am I going south? I am. And Google Car, I'm saying, Why am I going this way? It's not interesting, only because it's one of the few ways to get to this park, to Ferry Point Park. But I'm sure the views are going to be

worth it because that bridge and the Long Island Sound are splendid, but it's going to take a while to get there. So, if you're coming to this part of the Bronx, just be informed that the first stop on the Q44 bus is very far away from this park. You're still gonna need like another mode of transportation if you want to get down here, unless you want to walk this entire way like me. And it's not even that comfortable because it's so cold right now. I'm one of the few people who are like crazy enough to do this right now, and there's more litter over here too, plastic bags. There's a, I don't know what that is, that's like plastic from a paper towel roll or something. But the wind and the fences are definitely not helping with the buildup of trash in this area. You know, it's also interesting too, they have signs here for a bicycle path or a greenway. I think this is a Pepsi Cola facility to the right of me. You can see all these

pepsi trucks. That's a lot of soda. Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of New York. By the way, I learned that Pepsico, which is the parent company, and the Pepsi Bottling Company are two different companies. One thing's for sure, though. I don't see any Pepsi cans next to the Pepsi Bottling Company. I see a McDonald's Happy Meal box. Oh, there's an Aquafina over there. I think Aquafina's owned by Pepsi. There's UPS. Elst players saying thanks to my walk across the Washington Bridge. You drive there all the time. You never knew that was the name. It's a name that's been forgotten with time because the George Washington Bridge, its older cousin, took all the spotlight. Oh gosh, the wind's just blowing on my back now. Mike Louis with five loonies. A action kid watch you every day after work. Thank you and love your smile. Appreciate it, man. Thank you so much. Oh, the sun came out. It feels so nice.

all right. How do I get to this ferry point park now? I don't think I want to continue straight because there's no more sidewalk there. And look, that looks like the exit ramp for this highway. Oh, here it is. It's across the street. All right. This driver is waiting for me. Here I am, ferry point park. I don't know why it's called ferry point park, but just assuming from the name, there probably used to be a ferry here. Let's read up on the history. Well, the land that it's built on is from 1642. The park was named for the ferries that traveled between the Bronx and Queens, from Westchester Village to Whitestone, and from Classen Point to College Point. At least two operators, Twin City Ferry and City of New York, administered ferries. Very interesting here. All right, so we are in ferry point park. That was way before the time that New York City even existed during the 1600s. Well, they got a large soccer field over

here peach sangria. You've never been here. I'm sure many New Yorkers haven't been here, especially if they don't live in the Bronx. I haven't been here, certainly. H3N2 asking if it's a landfill. I wouldn't be surprised if it is because there's a lot of areas in the Bronx that were former landfills, such as Classen Point Park, parts of Sound View. Here's the Schlay Avenue field, very nice soccer field. It's an artificial surface too, but it's very nice. I wonder how close I can get to the water. Jennifer Swaffer, thank you so much for 4.99. Love your channel and explore in New York with you. Ah, asking how far I am from the Bronx Zoo. A good distance away. I don't think I'll be able to get there on this walk, certainly not today because it's so cold. So Cal Lawrence, you got your new Phoenix PD. Awesome, excellent flashlight. And Harold asking what mode I'm using in my Osmo.

pocket really depends on the setting, but I usually keep it on the default mode, which is FPV. That mode follows wherever the camera's facing. There's a good amount of space in this park. I've probably been walking in this park already for like a good 10 minutes, and I'm still walking towards the south. Mike Louie with five loonies, five more loonies for you. I appreciate your stream becoming a panda. Why do I love pandas? I like pandas because they're unique, they're a very exotic type of bear, and I always found it interesting how the only thing they eat is bamboo, but they're not too particularly good at processing bamboo. I think like 30 percent of the nutrients that they absorb are from the bamboo, the other 70 are wasted. This is a nice park, I have to say. I mean, I wish it was a lot warmer, but at least, at least there's not too many people around right now, and at least there's no mosquitoes I have to worry about. The last few times I

went to like former landfills or parks and lebrons. I got attacked by mosquitoes, but on a day like today where it's like freezing, I don't have to worry about that at all. Miller Thompson, thank you so much for 99 cents, appreciate it. There's the Bronx White Stone Bridge, I'm still far away from it. Oh, thank you for that information, Samir. The city is planning on having the Soundview Ferry and the Bronx connect to this park in 2023. All right, so there's a pathway to the right, and then there's another pathway to the left. Someone's flying a drone over there. Oh, nice, there's a public restroom here too. This might come in handy. Emilio Gonzalez asking if I could walk on the White Stone Bridge to Queens. I wish I could, but it's not allowed. There's no pedestrian walkway there. Dang girl, one with five bucks. Thank you for talking about the pandas. My special needs student did an essay on one and got an

a. Oh, that's great. Good for him or her. Blake Ramer, thank you so much for 10 loonies. Good afternoon, action kids. Seems like a nice day in the Bronx. Here are 10 loonies or a have a great day from a cool, crisp Toronto. I wonder if this is open. If it is, I'm just going to use it very quickly. Nope, I see that bar. That means it's not open. It's also closing at 4 PM, so probably very close. Wow, look at this park, folks. This park is amazing. They got barbecue areas. It's like large open spaces. How did I not know about this park from before? Wow, look at this. We're gonna head over there to the Bronx White Stone Bridge. I mean, this will be an excellent park as Swan saying it's 4:10 PM and I missed it. Oh, that's why. 10 minutes late. This is a beautiful park. I wish I had like another mode of transportation right now, like an e-scooter or bike.

I didn't realize that this park was so huge. Probably by the time I get out of here, it will already be like an hour into this livestream. Belly Cosmetique, what's the name of this park? It's the Ferry Point Park in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx. Ruby's saying it's a hidden gem. Oh, definitely. Look at this, there's so much space in this park, it's unbelievable. And um, I think it's maintained pretty good. And I'm still walking south, still walking south. I'm still not to the water yet. Here's the Ferry Point West Fields. Devotees saying no one lives around there, you have to drive to get here. I can see why. I mean, there's also a parking lot over there, municipal parking lot. [Music] I have to turn up the setting on these heated gloves because I need the extra heat. Yes, sir. 50, 75. Thank you so much for the 20 Canadian Akaya. Real thing, the park is usually packed.

During the summer, I can see I don't know what's the best way to get here by public transportation, though, is because I thought the first stop on the bus over the bridge was close enough, but it was still a walk from there, and it wasn't really through a nice area. It was right on the side of the highway. Chris, the first thing, go under the bridge to the left to go to the golf course. Yeah, I see it over there. That's the Trump Link Golf Course, I think. And this is a looks like a baseball field. Steve's saying there's a large glacial rock in the west part of the park. Really cool. Bella asking if this is wheelchair accessible. Um, I don't really see anywhere where you would need to go up or down stairs or anything. It looks pretty flat to me, so I think it's wheelchair accessible, but just double-check to make sure. Laurie, you liked my walk yesterday. You watched this morning and sent you a comment as well. Oh, thank you. The one I did in East New.

york, Brooklyn, Mexico, underground is here. Welcome. Oh boy, the wind's picking up. There's the drone again. [Music] Stephen's saying Ferry Point Park is about to become more popular. I hope it does. There's a lot of space here. Wow, you can actually see Manhattan from here. That's the skyline. All right, so wow, there's a lot of space in this park. I don't even know where to go anymore because I'm going to be spending this entire live stream in this park. I guess I'll go that way to the waterfront with the Bronx, Whitestone Bridge, and then I'll head over towards the skyline, I guess. Slo Miziga, Slo Mazika, thank you so much for five euro from Slovenia. Thank you. That might be the glacial rock that someone typed it out before. Wow, good thing I have these heated gloves because I don't know if I'll be doing this walk without them. I'm already feeling frostbite even with the gloves.

All right, so I guess I'll go this way towards the Bronx Whitestone Bridge, and I'll check out that funky-looking rock over there. Andre V with five bucks is probably cold AF out there. Yes, it is. It is cold AF, not even joking. Look at all these trucks going over the bridge. Isn't it beautiful? How far does this park go towards this bridge? I haven't even seen water yet. Okay, I guess I'm not going that way towards the bridge because I'm getting bad internet service, so we'll head the other way. [Music] All right, I'm turning around because I don't want to lose service. I'll just stay by the water. I'm even gonna wear my hood over the hat. That's how cold it is right now. How's this look? Oh gosh, hopefully no bad internet service on this side. Smile, you really want to visit this park, but every time you cross the bridge, you see the beautiful sunset. Didn't have a chance to visit. Well, now you can. We got a sunset right

in front of me now with the New York City skyline, Manhattan skyline in the background. You can make out the Empire State Building from here. I also see the Central Park Tower as well and the World Trade Center even. Here's a postcard view. Hopefully, the internet doesn't cut out here. Oh my gosh, it's so cold here by the water. The wind's blowing so hard, and yet I'm still here standing. I don't know how I'm doing this. The lengths I go to make videos for everybody definitely don't come at this time, folks, unless you have high cold tolerance. Look at this. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There's a beach here too. We are going to the rocks, Ferry Point Park, folks. Sunset time from the Bronx. It's probably warmer in the water than it is right now because the water can only be 32 Fahrenheit or higher. Right now, it's colder than that outside. Wow, that's nice. Beautiful view. Thank you, Nick, for 99.

cents. Whoa, there's a skyline again. Laurie's saying there's a great thumbnail here. Absolutely, I think I'm even going to make this my thumbnail when I get back. All right, let's get out of here and walk to the rest of Ferry Point Park. Kathlynn Hari, thank you so much for the two loonies. Appreciate it. I'm walking against the wind right now. The wind's blowing at west-northwest at 15 miles an hour. Thank you, Nightbot. That means I'm walking right into it. This is not comfortable. The wind's even pushing my mask. Thank you, Tom L, with 4.99. Appreciate it. Now I wonder how far this waterfront path goes. All right, so that's where I came from before that side POV. HFR asking if there's an exclamation mark command for Nightbot for the like. I don't remember it, but the Nightbot will automatically remind people anyway from time to time. And I gotta switch hands. This hand that's holding the camera, it has to go.

in my pocket now such a gorgeous view. Yeah, my fingertips definitely got frostbite there, but not too bad. I wonder what this park will look like in the spring or summer. I definitely should take a visit back to this park during that time. Oh, this is why many people who live in New York, they get away from New York during these winter months, and they go south, or they start traveling places because they can't handle this cold. And even right now for me, this is uncomfortable walking around this park like this. ETG, thank you so much for the 499. So peaceful, appreciate it very much. All right, uh, I'm gonna start walking this way now because I got an internet unstable message back there. But I was saying, uh, this is great to come out here just for views like that, even though it's so cold out. Now I know this park has spotty internet service, especially by the water and by the bridge back there. But I'm walking this way now back towards the bathrooms now, which are now closed.

and I'll head back. What the heck? What footprints are these? It kind of looks like a bear or something. Is it Bigfoot? There's a lot of these paw prints. Well, like, wow. Looks like I'm not the only one in this park, folks. Those are dog prints, some kind of animal prints, right? Okay, I'm gonna try walking that way again. Hopefully, I don't lose service. Only because I don't want to walk back the same way I came in. But if I start losing service, then that's what I'll have to do. Wow, I spent almost an hour in this park alone, and I think it's an hour well spent. GRE 68. Sometimes you wish a year e-scooter could be nearby. Yeah, I wish so. I wish so. I wish there was a command, just a summary, summon it out of nowhere, not have to carry it around. Here's a nice view too. You could also see the Manhattan skyline from here. Well, looks like this is the only path out, but I didn't notice something else over here. Is this a hiking trail?

uh, why not? Let's take a look. Does this lead anywhere? Am I going to lose service walking in these woods? Yeah, it doesn't lead anywhere. I was just curious where it goes. I didn't think this park had hiking trails. What I am going to do, though, is because I am human and nature calls, I'm going to do some business. So, I will be right back. Don't go away. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] All right, I'm back. Let me just get set up, and we'll start going again. All right, that's what happens when the restrooms are closed. I guess this is the only way into the park from here. Thanking Michael Jackson for 6.99 for peeing in the park the way it was meant to be. So, okay, so another long walk back to the entrance of this park. I also need to blow my nose because this cold weather is getting to my senses. Let's put you down on this rock here. [Music] Uh, all right, that's taken care of. Thank you.

John Donahue with 9.99. There's an 18-hole golf course there, yes, on the other side of the bridge. But there is a garbage can here conveniently for my paper towel. That's the drone again. Looks like I'm not alone in this park, folks. There's a drone operator in this park. Good thing the drone didn't fly by when I was on my break. Is the drone coming back this way? No, they're going the other way with the drone. So, so I don't know what facility this is. I think it has something to do with the bridge, MTA, uh, bridges, I think. And they also got the MTA police over there. I do have to say though, for this park, it's not very scenic if you have to come back out the same way. If there was another route to go out there, and it'll be a little bit more interesting, but because there's one road, one road in, one road out, it makes it less appealing to come here. I'd rather take a bicycle here or an

e-scooter. You don't want to be walking here, especially on a cold day like today. Laura is asking where this park is in relation to Pelham Bay Park. I think Pelham Bay Park is maybe like 10-15 minutes away by car if you take the highway, but if you take local streets, I think it will take a lot longer. You can see long shadows now. Joe is saying it's a minus 30 up there in Canada. That is incredible. You don't want to be outside too long in that kind of cold weather. [Music] So what I'm going to do now is I'm not going to try to walk on the side of the highway as I did before getting in here, but there's another road there that goes over to the left. I'm gonna head that side to that side, like, yeah, all right, I'm headed this way. Wow, look at that sunset. Ain't that pretty, huh, with the skyline right behind it? You know, if I didn't come here on this day, the sun won't set.

In this exact position, the sun will set somewhere else, but right now in the Bronx, it's setting right in the middle of Manhattan. That is cool. That is so cool. So remember that, folks. Mid to late January, you come here to Ferry Point Park. If you can brave the cold, the sun sets right behind the Manhattan skyline. I'm probably not going to remember that, but for future photographers out there, it might be an idea. Corey Amanda with 1.99 asking, Hold, how old am I? Can I go to Baldwin, New York? Corey, I don't really like revealing my age, but I'm old enough. And Baldwin, New York, I don't know where that is. Oh wow, look at this. Now the sun is leaving Ferry Point Park. Oh wow, look at this. There's a trail here, and this is right at the entrance to the park. You don't even have to go far to get a nice view. Look at this. Where does this go now? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Is this New York City for real?

Corey, a man they were 1999 Baldwin in Long Island. You're from there. Well, what a nice-looking place. How did I not know about this park from before? It is beautiful. The Bronx has so many nice-looking parks. Okay, let's head out of this park now. Okay, I don't know where this goes, but I know I'm heading out of Fairy Point Park. But I shouldn't be too far away because the first stop on the bus is still far away from where I need to go anyway. So, that park is what I would call a hidden gem in New York City. Mexico Underground with the 49 Mexican pesos. Amazing views. Gracias. Thank you, my man. Mexico Underground also hosts a very nice YouTube channel, even live streams in Mexico City. I've watched a few of his live streams. They're very good. The only issue is Mexico City. They don't really have like that great internet service, so sometimes I find its live streams to break up every now and then. But that's just the internet service.

what a name of a street. Yes, Naga Place. This sounds like something from World of Warcraft or something. Yes, Naga. I don't even know how to pronounce that. This is Naga. Oh, here's UPS customer center. Hey, if I would have known, I would have come here UPS then. I didn't have to go all out of my way to the UPS store in Flushing, Queens. This is more UPS trucks than I've ever seen in one area my entire life. So, speaking of which, I wonder if UPS delivered my package today. Am I expecting one that I need to check out later? So, this is the other side of the Pepsi bottling company. Mellow Man with five bucks. I helped inspire you to start your Mellow Man Walks channel down in Texas. Thank you. Oh, that's gonna be cool. A walking channel in Texas. Still UPS over here. I think I'm gonna run out of sidewalk though. No more sidewalk over here. Uh, yeah. I should cross the street and use the sidewalk over there.

that flagpole sounds very mysterious now. Hey, Pepsi, throw me a soda. You know, I've heard rumors if you find the Red Bull car and you shout them out, they'll give you a free Red Bull. I don't know if it's true or not, but I don't think it works for Pepsi though. [Music] Teach Sangria saying Pepsi sucks. Well, there's gonna be the Coke fans, there's gonna be the Pepsi fans, right? The ultimate battles, which is better, Coke versus Pepsi. Mike Louis with five loonies. Come on, Canada, to support action with more [Music] loonies. All right, well, I have to say this side of the Bronx is a lot better than walking next to that Hutchinson Parkway. [Music] I don't think I'll be streaming too long today. It feels very cold. I think I'll just walk back to that first bus stop in the Bronx and head back to Queens. I can't be here too long in this kind of

weather so all right. What happened here? I ran out of sidewalk on this side. Now, I guess it doesn't matter too much because there's some grass here. Uh, we got UPS behind me passing by. Mike Louis, thank you so much for five movies. I'm priceless. That UPS truck probably ought to deliver somewhere very far away. Fish bones asking if I came by here to see the Christmas lights. I didn't. I didn't come by here. Those wind chimes sound very peaceful. You know we're in a strange part of New York City when we start losing sidewalks. There's some nice quiet homes here, although it's probably not easy to get to by public transportation. You have to rely on the bus. It's kind of far away. Here's a winery place. Anyone? Anyone want a mini fridge? I think this mini fridge is kind of useless right now, just judging how cold it is outside. You don't need a fridge in these temperatures. Jan Johnson, thank you so much for the 4.99. Appreciate it very much.

oh wait, the UPS truck is backing up over here. They're not going very far. All right, I think this is the back of that shopping center. I saw like Target and Chipotle, Starbucks, that shopping center. This UPS driver needs to make some adjustments to get into this loading dock. [Music] I think they'll be able to get in this time though. Looks like it's pretty straight already. [Music] Thank you, Carla Pogo, at five bucks. Your quality is great. What phone internet service do I use? How many kilobytes per second do I stream on? Um, the information on my equipment is listed in the video description, and as far as the kilobytes per second streaming, I usually leave it in auto mode so it adjusts the bit rate dynamically. Yeah, this driver's got it easily, easily. Oh wow, there's more parking over here. This is for Target. This is a pretty decent-sized parking lot for this Target store, and there's some more additional parking over here, I think, or is this from the same parking lot?

you know, I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing a grocery store inside the shopping center unless the Target has groceries. They're very well made. I think it does. It looks like a pretty big Target. I see food items already by the checkout counter. Jaden is saying there isn't a grocery store in that mall except for Target. Target's probably where everybody's shopping for groceries here. Mike Louis with five dollars Canadian, can I get your UPS package? [Music] Now, let's see where this bus is because the bus stop was over here in the first stop in the Bronx coming from Queens, but I don't know going to Queens where that bus stop is. I may have to cross over to the other side. Sometimes these bus stops are hard to figure out because you see the route on the bus map. It says it's at one corner, and then you have to find it. It's like halfway down the block or on a different street. Jaden said I have to cross over. Yeah, that's what I figured.

and then what sucks is when the city they move the bus stops because of construction or they close it. [Music] There's Target, the same Target I started off at to warm up and get ready. [Music] Okay, so I think I see the bus stop over there on the corner. I might, yeah, that's the same one. I see the Q44 bus, the bus stop over there. [Music] Thank you, Neon 99, with 19.99. I hope this buys you a nice hot meal for today on this very cold day. Thanks for always. You be safe and take care. Thank you, Neon 99. Appreciate it very much. Oh, here's a high school. Oh wow, the bus is right here. Gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh. I gotta pay. I gotta [Music] pay. Oh, and it left. Well, we gotta wait for the next one. Oh well, I think these come pretty quick, uh, quickly. So, that's how New York City buses work. If you're not on time, they just leave without you. Alright, let's see when the next one is.

here it is. Select bus stop receipt. I gotta show this in case someone comes on and looks for your ticket. If I wanted to, I could have just got on the bus and uh, gamble that no one checks the ticket, but I won't suggest that to anyone. All you can do is get on the bus and then get off the bus at the next stop, pay, and then get back on. I'm not the only one who uh, needs to wait for the bus. There's three other people here. Jump LC says, Now I have to wait in the cold. That's the way it is. There's rarely uh, there's really, oh wait, there's a Q50 coming. I could take this bus. All right, let's take this one. All right folks, I'm going to sign off here and take this bus. If you enjoy this live stream, be sure to smash the like button for me, subscribe for some more videos, and I'll see you next time. Bye bye. This Q50 bus goes the same way I need to go, so it's perfect.

NYC LIVE Exploring Ferry Point Park & Throgs Neck, Bronx (January 23, 2021)

ActionKid

The narrator is in Throgs Neck, Bronx, on a chilly January day, after getting off the Q44 bus.

They discover a busy shopping center with a Target, Starbucks, and T-Mobile store, which they didn't expect.

Despite the cold, the narrator prepares to explore the area, mentioning their heated gloves and a hat from a viewer, while also trying to set up their camera and equipment.

The narrator navigates from the Hutchinson River Parkway to Ferry Point Park, noting the litter and machinery along the way.

The first bus stop in the Bronx is surprisingly far from the park, requiring a long walk.

Ferry Point Park is named after the ferries that once traveled between the Bronx and Queens, with a rich history dating back to the 1600s.

Ferry Point Park in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx is a hidden gem, with large open spaces and BBQ areas.

The park has a soccer field with an artificial surface and is planning to connect to the Soundview Ferry in 2023.

The livestreamer appreciates the park's maintenance and enjoys the peaceful atmosphere, away from mosquitoes and crowds.

The speaker struggles to find the best public transportation to Ferry Point Park, encountering a long walk in a less desirable area.

The park offers a flat, wheelchair-accessible layout and features a large glacial rock, baseball field, and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline.

The speaker experiences cold weather and strong winds while exploring the park, capturing the beauty of the sunset and the Bronx Whitestone Bridge.

The speaker is walking through Ferry Point Park, facing a strong west-northwest wind.

They notice beautiful views, animal footprints, and the Manhattan skyline.

Despite the cold and uncomfortable conditions, they appreciate the park's tranquility and plan to return in the spring or summer.

Ferry Point Park has an 18-hole golf course and is located near the MTA police and bridge facilities.

The park's layout, with only one road in and out, makes it less appealing for visitors.

The sunset view behind the Manhattan skyline in mid to late January is a unique and beautiful sight from the park.

Exploring Naga Place and Its Surroundings

Naga Place has a unique name, reminiscent of World of Warcraft, and is located near a UPS customer center with a high concentration of UPS trucks.

The area also features the Pepsi bottling company and a shopping center with Target, Chipotle, and Starbucks.

The narrator contemplates the cold weather and the lack of sidewalks while walking through the Bronx, eventually deciding to head back to Queens.

Navigating the Shopping Center and Bus Stops

The shopping center has a large Target, which is likely the only place for groceries.

The bus stops in the area can be confusing, with routes sometimes changing due to construction.

The narrator waits for the bus, shares tips on ticket validation, and ultimately decides to take the Q50 bus, which goes in the same direction they need to go.
