Hello folks. Today is March 14, 2020. Fifty-two degrees Fahrenheit, 11 degrees Celsius. I'm in Harlem in Manhattan, and today I'm going to walk from Harlem all the way to Astoria, Queens. So, I'm at the intersection of Frederick Douglas Boulevard and 116th Street. Let's take a look and see how Harlem is dealing with everything. Jack, this is live. Hello, going to Harlem right now. It's a beautiful day today, beautiful spring-like weather day. I enjoyed my time in Manhattan. You didn't miss anything. I just started the stream. I just started. Why is that guy saying wear the mask, wear the mask? What is wrong with those people, like seriously? I just caught racism on live stream. That's the first time I experienced it. I mean, it was kind of like nonchalantly talking it out loud, but it was still like not warranted. Yeah, I didn't pay any attention. Such ignorance, right? [Music] The guy was like yo man, was your mask

was he masked? It's amazing, mask dude. I'm like, okay, just ignore him, whatever, as long as it doesn't turn physical, and just goes to show them what kind of people are out there. Yeah, this just happened. Yes, I'm walking through Astoria, Queens. Here's Adam Seapower Jr. Boulevard. Yeah, I'm not gonna take the subway. Jax Wick is mentioning an incident at Penn Station where racist remarks were said. Oh, that's nice, totally unnecessary, but that's part of the reason why I record also, so all these idiots who think that they can get away with racism without any kind of recourse, they'll be just shown for the fools they are. Tahaan asking, have I been in Manhattan? Yes, yes, I'm in Manhattan right now, and I've been to Central Park as well. Central Park seemed quite busy today. I was in Central Park, and it didn't really seem like a damper on anyone's mood. People were enjoying the day, enjoying their time at the park and at the Hudson River. I was in the Hudson River.

[Music] Sorry, that depends on when you count as today because everyone's timezone is different. But according to New York time, it's only the second one. No way, it is the third one because I have to tie one video post. You're right. Oh, thank you. I'll be careful. City Mouse is saying, Did I see the very first marriage proposal up at Hudson Yards on Tuesday? Well, I saw one when it opened on Wednesday, but I didn't realize there was a Mariposa on Tuesday. I did not know that. Not at all. Here's Malcolm X Boulevard and 116 Street. David, I don't see the lens blurry here. Eugene Adams with two bucks loved all my videos. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. Awesome. Hey, how's it going? You want to be on? See? Hey, how's it going? I Love New York. Never getting out of love it. That's it. Let's go. All right. All right. We got some Harlem love here. People are doing awesome. What I'm doing here is recording life in the Big Apple no matter what the

situation. Yeah, Harlem is definitely a different vibe than the rest of the city. People seem to be a little bit more relaxed here. Ray got a 1-1 super chat. Thank you, dude. Appreciate your support. Stephane Large, with a dollar ninety-nine, saying the city looks empty today. Well, it's a difference. What the heck that guy said. Get off my phone. And he's riding his bicycle on the sidewalk. I mean, what do we got here? Stupid. But anyway, dollar ninety-nine from Stefan Large, saying the city looks empty today. Thank you for that. But I did go to Central Park and parts of the Upper West Side today. Wasn't nearly as empty as I thought it was gonna be. The weather just was bringing everyone outside, regardless of the state of events in New York. People are still enjoying their time outside. I mean, even we're getting buds on all the trees, and the flowers are starting to come out too. Life continues to go on. [Music] All right, here's Fifth Ave. Fifth Ave in Harlem looks a lot

different than Fifth Ave in Midtown, that's for sure. Second Avenue phase two construction at 116 Street. Oh, let me take a look. Let's see if I can see anything from there. Simeon, I'm on 116 and 5th Ave. [Music] Temperature right now is 52 Fahrenheit, 11 Celsius. But I'm just about to pass by Madison Avenue and then Park Avenue. Oh wow, that's Metro North there in the distance. I don't know if you could see it right there. Metro-North is the commuter rail service that runs between Grand Central Terminal and other parts to upstate New York and Connecticut. I'm going to walk over a bridge today that I have not walked over in many videos. It's the RFK Triborough Bridge. [Music] Okay, it sounds like driving is as usual in New York City. Carroll Nakamura with $100. Oh my gosh, man, thank you, thank you. Oh wow, I gotta give you something for that. Hey, what is that? Oh my gosh, now I got to deal with this person just walk by. What?

Are you doing, man? What am I doing? I'm live-streaming. That's what I'm doing. But Carroll, thank you for that. I'm gonna give you a little heart for that. Thank you. I am getting a lot of getting approached today in this walk, and it's just 15 minutes in. Some person being racist towards me, and other one riding the bike on the sidewalk towards me and saying, Get off my phone. Another one coming up to me saying, What am I doing? [Music] It sounds like the cops are here urgently. Diane Ellis, Chili said, Now that you mention you see racist comments, you feel doing more her a spores of the virus. People gonna be mean, ain't gonna be safe, buddy. Well, what happened at the beginning of this lashing was the first time that I got publicly called out for being ignorant. I'm not wearing a mask. Was we a mass dude? That was the first time in public. What I have gotten a lot of racist YouTube comments. They said like, Oh, like how come Chinese people are

allowed to use white public transportation. I'm like, I just deleted that comment and banned that user. It's like, that's totally not necessary, but I don't like to talk about that kind of stuff on this channel. But when things get serious, I call them out on it. His City Fresh Market while Lexington and 1:16 looks crowded right now. The weather is 52 Fahrenheit right now, 11 Celsius. Hey, what's up, man? See, we still got some peeps that are cool here. Well, thank you. I'll be careful, that's for sure. I'll Lana brown with five bucks. Thank you. They ignore the ignorant. Yes, that's true, especially because I'm recording live here. [Music] Harlen still seems crowded right now. Yeah, you can walk from Harlem to Astoria tacos El Paso. It seems like a good place to get some tacos. Christopher's saying, when am I going back to the edge? Well, the edge is closed until April. That's what their website says. Yeah, the edge was only open for two days before they had to close it down. Yes.

speak English and is asking if there'll be a video and here be bar tomorrow. Yes, I'm so looking forward to that video and seeing it. It's going to be premiering on here be bars channel tomorrow. Edgard Z's saying, What do you think? Is it safe to travel to New York? It is safe to travel in New York, but just keep in mind that if you're coming here for tourism, a lot of the tourism attractions are closed right now just due to people ordering them closed due to large social gatherings. But you can still enjoy a lot of other things in the city, like visit some of the local neighborhoods and go to some of the other lesser-known areas of the city. It doesn't have to be Manhattan. Vic Lau says, The Statue of Liberty is closed down. Wow, you know, I was planning to go there. I didn't say this to anyone, but I had tickets to go to the Statue of Liberty on the weekend of March. Let me see, let me check my phone. March 28th. I

had tickets to go to the Statue of Liberty, so I need to check up on that to see if I'm able to even go to the Statue of Liberty at that time. Alright, I'm a second and 1/16. Yes, PJ, I do a lot of walking. If you know my channel, that's what I do. I don't see any signs of the Q trains, 2nd Avenue subway extension here. I don't see any signs. Mylo saying the audio started has stopped recently. Haven't heard it recently. Yes, I did. Had to switch my Verizon plan to the Playmore unlimited, which supports 720p. That's was the reason why I was stuttering. I'm not really sure what's gonna happen to the future of the city, but I know before something drastic happens. If it is locked down for some reason, I'll have some kind of like recorded evidence of what life used to be like here. Right now, my mission is to try and see New York City before anything kind of major happens, any kind of major outbreak.

but right now, life in Harlem seems to be a little bit muted, I would say. Immediately, I'm in Harlem. I started a slash team. I got racism totally unnecessary. Here we go, first down near 1/16. [Music] Yes, I'm going into the Harlem River Drive right now, is first and 116th. [Music] [Music] I never walked this street before, 116 Street, totally different part of Harlem, that's for sure. I got a five-year super chat from Berlin, seven on 40. Thanks for doing what you're doing, much love in Berlin, Germany. Oh, thank you, thank you very much for the super chat. I appreciate it. The vibe in New York City has certainly changed. I know it's like gone for everybody's like who would each other, and now everyone's kind of like fearful of standing within few feet of one another. I mean, a quickly change on a dime. I got a super shot from Mikey, two bucks. Thank you, man. Appreciate very much. Thank you. Honestly, I'm not afraid of catching

anything though. I think anything that lashes on my body will be shaking off after I've walked like ten hours later. I don't think anyone will be on my body that long. Nothing will be on my body that long. Okay, let's cross diagonally. I can't walk to the FDR Drive. Oh no, I don't know. Let's take a look. I think I'll have to join the cars. Jenny malls with ten bucks saying my ticket. You're my ticket to the great city. Thanks, Steve. Oh, you're welcome, man. Thank you for the super chat so much. Alright folks, let's cross the street here. Can we? I don't think I'll cross the street right. Lips too busy to me. Why not? It's easy. All you gotta do is wait for a car to like travel 100 miles an hour and then the next one only go like 60 miles an hour. If you can dodge a hundred mile an hour car, you can easily dodge a 60 mile an hour car. So [Applause]. I can do it at 12 a.m. Okay, maybe I'll

wait until that long, and then I could cross the street, right? Rohit Mina, we're at 40. I don't know what currency that is, what it says, a much response sport. Thank you, thank you, appreciate it, man. This sidewalk is like totally strange. What do we got here? We got a soda bottle, yogurt, cigarette butts, pizza box, yucky yucky Snickers. Yup, very dirty. But even though the sidewalk is like very in disrepair, at least it's white, at least it's a wide sidewalk. [Applause] [Music] Whoa, look at this. It's like broken glass here. This is called urban hiking, people. [Music] Well, I'll tell you one thing. Even though there's nobody here, there's plenty of cars. Look at all the cars driving. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. [Applause] [Applause] The sidewalk all buckled up too. Oh look, it's opening. Can I cross the street now? There's no cars coming across the street now.

[Music] All right, let's cross the street to the Safeway. I'm gonna walk across the screen bridge. All right, so you just witnessed one of the worst sidewalks in New York City. Carlos Mejia with 20,000 COP. Love your videos. Thank you, man. Thank you so much. You're awesome. Okay, Bridge time. Let's do it. [Applause] Yes, the bridge could use a paint job here. [Laughter] My signal might be gone soon. Why? The signal is not good here. Are you kidding me? It's closed. No, I cannot cross. [Applause] Now I gotta walk all the way back here. Now, why didn't they put the freaking sign on the entrance to the bridge instead? You gotta walk all the way across in order for them to tell you that it's closed. The NGO preset at five are keep it off. Thank you. Appreciate your support. It's called efficient city planning, folks. They could have put the sign right here and say they gotta put it all the way on the other side of the

bridge where you walk across, and then you gotta turn all the way around if you want to go to the footbridge there. Ward's Island Bridge, Louis. There's no sign at all here, none here. They could have put a sign even over here or over here, over here, over here, but no, they got to put it all the way on the other side. All right, time for some crappy sidewalk again. Let's go, let's do this. All right, more walking. 111 Street. I got a walk all the way 202. I think Albert law with CA $5.00. Think you do appreciate it. Look how small the sidewalk is here. [Music] PJ, I have not gotten robbed on livestream. I don't want that's it happening either. I'm on the east side of Manhattan right now, near 106 streets. Anthony Camacho in 1999 saying I'm a good, a good dude, action kid. All right, I'm glad you think so. I think I'm just a normal guy, but thank you for your support. [Applause]

[Applause] David. I saw that boat. I flew into the honey toast only after I published the video, though, so I got some extra protein in my breakfast. What's this on my right? It looks like a, I don't know what this is, community area. Oh, it's New York City Housing Authority. It says dawning village on my phone here. This is now the Queen's brush up ahead. This is the Ward's Island footbridge, the Ward's Island footbridge. [Laughter] A Queensborough bridge is at 59th Street and 2nd Avenue or First Avenue, depending on what entrance you're looking at. 106 Street here. Here's nature, Woodrow Wilson houses in East Harlem music. I like saying, is there usually more people on the sidewalk? That I'm not sure, but I assume from this area that it isn't really a nice sidewalk to be walking on anyway. It's right next to a highway. I mean, you're not really going to get a leisurely stroll from this. Frank Colombo's asking, wasn't there as

Wayne Randall's and Moore's Island. Good question. The reason why there's a confusion there is because they used to be two separate islands, and then when Robert Moses, the architect and master planner of New York City, connected the bridges and brought traffic over to Randall's Island and Ward's Island, they joined it in with landfill. So now it's one island. So you're correct in that it can be either Randall's Island or Ward's Island or the combined name Randall's Ward's Island. So what do we got here, man? The box. [Music] All right, let's go walking across the Ward's Island footbridge. See Grant, we're in Harlem. Did I start filming? I think it was Adam Clayton Powell and 116th Street. Well, maybe it was Frederick Douglass, one of the two. [Music] Okay, here we go, going up to the Ward's Island footbridge. [Music] [Applause] [Applause] The sign says East 105. [Applause] Melissa England, where two bucks saying

from England family in Iowa. Stacey, thank you. I appreciate your support. All right, Bridge is open for business. Yeah, it is getting dark now. I see a story already in the distance, but I need to walk a little bit. There's a steep bridge. I didn't expect to be so steep walking, but I rode my bicycle here plenty of times as the river. People out here still buying their bikes. I got a super chat with hundred MX saying love my videos, greetings from Baja California. Okay, thank you, man. I appreciate it. Is Bellaire diner and a story still open? I think it's still open. Kevin's second tour saying does YouTube convert them the USC for you or have a bunch of foreign currency sitting in your account? Well, the way the super chats work is it goes directly into the YouTuber's AdSense account, and then it gets paid out on the following month. That's how it usually works out, but I assume they do all the conversions in-house. I don't get any foreign currency once it's deposited.

I think now is about the time they should turn on the lamps here because it's a little bit dark. I don't know why they haven't. You see, they have all these lamps here. Pío VHF farm. My bike requires tubes. Maybe these lands having to adjust. It's a daylight savings time yet. Maybe they're an hour late. I don't know what. Regardless, they should be on. All right. I have the whole islands and myself now. J Moore with a dollar ninety-nine saying be careful brother. Not all of us Americans are bad. Yeah, not every American's bad. Most of America is nice. But thank you for the dollar ninety-nine. Appreciate it. You know Randall's Ward's Island. It's definitely a very tranquil place. Daniel Basel Harwood. Fifty bucks saying love you. He was actually kids. Stay safe. Oh man. Thank you man. You rock. Thank you. I appreciate it. Oh my gosh. You don't have to do this folks. Just watching my videos is enough. Wow. It is literally empty at this island. What a drastic change from yesterday's.

live stream right. I was in Manhattan where there was a bunch of people out, and now I'm on Randall's Island, Ward's Island, and it's nobody here. Ray Span saying, Have I ever asked me how many miles I've walked? I have not estimated the amount of miles I've walked. Not yet. Budget Trowels saying, Which location do you think is the best in 7th Avenue Manhattan or near One World Trade Center? I don't really understand your question. They all like different parts of the city. How much long and I'm gonna be walking? I assume that I'll walk over this bridge to Astoria Queens. It's gonna be like another hour at least. [Music] Danny Bass is saying, In Switzerland no more toilet paper and people would mass never seen that before. Oh wow, definitely a change in what's going on in the world. Yeah, the lights came on but not these ones. What about the ones closest to me? John received my walking with Action Kid t-shirt in the mail today. Huge fan of yours. Keep up the great videos. Thank you.

so much man, thank you. Maybe it's time they got a flashlight. I do have one. I don't see a need for it right now though. [Music] And then this doesn't make any sense at all. We have here a close, the closer lamp that's lit, and then the one next, the next one over, the next one down is not lit. I'm not using a GPS. I already know my way around this island and how to get back. Thank you. I'll definitely keep an eye on my surroundings here. Long walk just to go all the way around. Let's take a look at the city again. Plants are blooming right now. Yeah, that could happen. I may see a four-legged creature running across the road here. That may be possible. Yeah, I'm Lampkin. I wanted to show a different part of the city, someplace away from all the crowds of Manhattan. I [Music] haven't been here in a while either. Randall's Island, Rey. I don't really see too many rats in New York City other than the subway.

there's one bike rider, unleash dog up ahead. PJ, yep, that was the four-legged creature that just walked in front of me. Whoa, the lights just turned off. Hey, come back on. What happened there? Why'd the lights turn off? That's freaky. And then this lamp's not working. Calvin, I do have my flashlight with me. I don't see a reason to use it right now, though. Okay, finally, I'm almost out of this twisty-turny area and onto the main road of Randall's Island. Lamps not on that one. And up ahead is Justin's been here before when you did the New York City Century bike tour last September. Okay, sounds like a good deal to me. It's a lot of bicycle events that happen here. Okay, here's where I think I may use my light. It's definitely warranted. Look at that, huh? World of difference when the city doesn't provide enough light. I provide my own. This, I definitely need a light because there's no lamps on this area. Yeah, this is the Phoenix PD 36AR, which is

splashing the water there. Love this light here. This is a rechargeable flashlight, flashlight torch, same kind of thing. This light has served me so well. It helped me save someone's life in the subway station. It helped me when I was up in Taiwan, hiking down Teapot Mountain, and there were no lights going down. I used the light. And also in the Bronx on Fordham Road when there was a lot of car traffic. I shined the light behind me. You wanna tell the story of saving someone's life? Okay, well, I was waiting for the train, and I see a lady. She falls onto the tracks. Looks like she stumbled, like she's drunk. And I was carrying all my belongings. I didn't care, and I like dropped them all and ran over there. So what's going on? And I took out my flashlight, turned it on, and then shone it into the tunnel and waved it back and forth so that if there was a train coming, then the train operator would be alert, and hopefully the train would stop in

time, but yeah, that's the story of how I saved someone's life. Whoa, no more pavement here, it's all dirt. Alright, I'm walking on dirt now. How much is the flashlight? The last time I checked on Amazon, it was like 80 or 90 bucks, but it's worth it, especially because it's USBC rechargeable. I can also use this flashlight for self-defense too if I wanted to. You hold it, it's got the strobe mode. Yeah, no breakfast thing. I got yelled at in Central Park for using my light. That was scary. David Clipper with two bucks. Thank you so much, man. Appreciate it. And here's the light of Phoenix, the Phoenix PD 36. [Music] The flashlight, 92 bucks. Well, if it's worth getting me down a hiking trail in the dark, saving someone's life, and also keeping me safe in case I need to use the strobe for self-defense, then it's worth it. When you need the light, it's going to work. Okay, finally, I made it to the RFK Triborough bridge entrance.

looks like as close here how much to go about 45 minutes. I think so. Cross over this bridge into Astoria, Queens. All right, here we go. It's open RFK Triborough Bridge. Yah-hoo, no echo here. The Well in Court mural projects. Oh yeah, those are awesome. I should go down there one time. So minds, we have one of these video games like Silent Hill or another game that I used to play a long time ago was Parasite Eve, but it's definitely a like a video game vibe right now. I'm gonna act like a video game character now. Press X to run faster, and I gotta do like the little like pan movements to keep tapping X. Press Y to jump. Press Y to jump. Okay, I ran out of stamina. Now I need to recover. No much video game I liked back in the days who was little known game called Parappa the Rapper. The first stage was so cool. Kick, punch, just all in the mind. If you want to test me, I'm sure you're fine. The things that each sure to beat.

you if you nevertheless we love gonna listen from teacher now kick punch and that's how you know you remember that gang is you remember the first verse that freaking stage and then they had like the driving song and I should play that game again it's fun this for a Playstation one press X to run okay I have more stamina now oh gosh it's hard to turn the camera off when you're running look at my shadow you can even see it better this calls for a flashlight ma'am let there be lights let there be light this is the RFP Triborough bridge [Applause] Robert F Kennedy bridge formerly is known as the Triborough bridge but most New Yorkers they still refer to this as the Triborough [Music] the Triborough it connects three boroughs the Bronx Manhattan and queens take a look at the main span here thank you mega boombox enjoying goes to the top of the rock and the Empire seat Bullock all right folks no more fence here now shall this fences vámanos you know when you mention that I

do have to look down right at least my camera's going to look down. I'm not going to go over the edge up. [Music] [Applause] I just got whistled by a cyclist prevent rebels saying what if I absolutely drop the camera. Well thankfully it's not that expensive. It's just an iPhone 8 plus at DJI Osmo mobile 3. This iPhone's like three years old now so I'll just get a new one but I don't want to drop that in the water. [Applause] [Music] It's also technically illegal to ride your bicycle here too. The MTA doesn't allow bicycles on this bridge. You have to walk it all the way across. That's their official rules anyway. [Applause] I know it is strange that there's no fancier and this is like one of the most dangerous bodies of water in all of New York City. It's called the hell gate cyclists coming New York City at night folks.

[Applause] at the Astoria Park swimming pool. Malcolm jazz TV worth five bucks saying walking as part of the exercise. I love watching your videos and plan to go to New York City in December. Alright, good move. Thank you so much for the $5 super chat. [Music] [Applause] you want to see the view on the right. Okay, how's the weather in November? You have a family trip then. I find it very comfortable. It could be a little chilly, but just got to prepare for it with some layers. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] enigmatic for a dollar ninety-nine saying am I a beer drinker and if so, what do I recommend. Well, I'm not a beer drinker unfortunately, but I do know there's a lot of good beers out here. [Applause] you got domestic beer. There's also some local beers too like Brooklyn lager. There's also Corona which is a great beer as well. I mean people laugh at the name but it

seriously, has this brand tarnished because of its relation to the virus. But there's also the Rockaway Brewing Company in Long Island City, which I know makes good beer too. [Applause] I need my light again, can't see a thing until now. Something may be long wrong on my flashlight. It's like a turn on to a higher intensity and then it goes down again, but should have some more charge than that. [Applause] Check the view behind me because it's kind of blinding with the car lights. This is a better view. Camera has a flashlight. Yeah, my camera has a flash. Let's see if I ever need it, just use it where I'm needed. I'm good. Yeah, the battery is good enough to last me until the end of the bridge. It's almost finished anyway. Yeah, I'm holding my phone right now. I had done a walk from the George Washington Bridge to what we... I've done the cycling video, not never a walking video. [Music] How long is this bridge? Very long too.

long is there a pedestrian walk on the city Manhattan side. No, there's not. This is the only side where there's a walk. [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Almost done, almost out of this bridge. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] That I expect to walk the slates. Yes, I did. I didn't expect this walk to take about an hour and a half. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] The time is 7:55 p.m. [Music] Deep man. I wouldn't mind walking here again. [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Because the bridge bounced up and down. No, it does not. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Okay, I am here. I am here back to Astoria, Queens. I was like the only person walking on that bridge. Only cars take the train back now. Now is the longest I ever had to walk.

through a subway station, folks. [Music] Yes, it's the Astoria Boulevard station. Whoa, that was a quick left turn, came out of nowhere. Alright, turn. [Music] [Music] I got a super chat for mozz for five euro. Love your work, Action Kid. My workplace goes tonight because state of emergency. Why plenty of visit, fill in the blanks.
