[Music] [Music] foreign all right why hello replay viewers let's see oh too good to see you, Mrs. Sealer. Good to see you, Melly Pal. Welcome, good to see you, Matthew. Welcome, welcome to Central Park. I just signed my 2021 contract for next year, so I do have some kind of employment for next year. Good to see you, Jack. Good to see you there, Darien Lamb. Welcome, good to see you, Char Links. Welcome, good to see you, Jessica. Good to see you, Jonathan. Good to see you, Retro Dash. Yes, shall we walk through the park? Good to see you, CM. Good to see you, Salma Mohammed. Good to see everybody. Had a little meeting right across the street. Had a meeting right over there. Had a meeting in that building right there to Trump Park. So, signed my contract with one of the three companies I work for. So, let's do it. Let's walk through the park. Am I dressed warm enough? Yes, I am. Congrats. I'm only renewing my

I'm renewing my contract. I'm renewing my contract. Real nice. Stay warm. I will respect the face. Don't forget to hit that like button. That's right. All right. So, one of my jobs for these three companies I work for is doing walking tours here in Central Park. So, you're going to see my walking tour here in Central Park. Good to see you, Pablo. Good to see you, Jacqueline. Good to see you, Roberto. Welcome. Let's do it. Good to see you from Argentina. Buenvenidos, Argentina. Ah, everything you're about to see is completely fake. Central Park. Nothing about it is real. You could build Central Park in your hometown. Oh, the instructions are on the internet. All you need is 27,000 trees, 9,000 benches, 142 miles of drainage pipes. If you walk all the pedestrian pathways, that is 53, sorry, 58 miles, is 93 kilometers with pedestrian paths. 3,000 plants, shrubs, and bushes. Kind of amazing. It's a green screen. That's right, right there. Good to see you, Christine.

out there in Vancouver. Welcome, yes, being able to renew is better than nothing. Exactly. Good to see you, Mr. Fox. Welcome. All right, let's walk through the park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Good to see you, Shields. Just finished a big steak. Nice. I have yet to eat something today, so I'm definitely gonna work up an appetite. And I gotta be really careful. There's a lot of ice around here. Good to see you, Natasha. Lots of snow indeed, Esteban. I love Central Park too. So what you're gonna see right now is what I do on walking tours here in the park. So you gotta see exactly what I do on a walking tour. Good to see you, Sarah. Good to see you there, Katya, out there in Miami. Welcome. Good to see your boss out there in Dundee. And please bear with the gimbal. The gimbal should get a little drunk today. We are below freezing, so the gimbal is going to have a little

bit of issues leveling out, so I'll do my best to keep the gimbal level. But we are in cold conditions, and the gimbal does not like the cold. Good to see a Gary Fox. Welcome, welcome to my favorite park, Central Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. The only natural features of this park are underneath the snow, Manhattan schist, the bedrock of Manhattan Island. Yeah, we got about 10 inches of snow here in Central Park the other night. Good to see you, Owen. Got about 10 inches of snow here in the park the other night, so nothing too crazy, but I'm happy it still looks beautiful. I'm surprised the paths are in this condition. Usually, the paths are much better. The Central Park Conservancy usually are really good. Good to see you, Gail Cohen. A snowstorm will hit Europe on Christmas Eve. Awesome, that's some good live stream material for y'all out there in Europe. Okay, there's a lot of ice around here. I got to keep my head on a swivel here.

central park is now maintained by the central park conservancy. Central park hires over 300 horticulturists to maintain the park. Cost about 85 million dollars a year to maintain the park, and the park has never looked this good in its entire history. The snowstorm is worth oh the asmr. You got it. Here's the crunch of the snow and the ice underneath my feet yesterday. Uh tour guide Tom and Sarah Funk walked around the park. I have to say they could have did a much better job but and again I think they were talking about lots of other stuff other than just the park. And this is nothing short of treacherous what I'm walking on right now. So I'm going to go into snow here. I'll show you all the towers in a little bit. Good to see you Nancy. Good to see you CB. Earth day. I'm not going to make a snow angel because I need to stay dry and it's below freezing. I don't want to get wet but there's two things we're not going

to do in this live stream, so do not ask. We're not going to eat food, and we're not going to do snow angels. There's plenty of other live streamers who do that. Me, I am a tour guide who loves you, baby. Good to see you there, Crusader. Good to see you, Zamir, out there in Bosnia. We're making our way over to the Gatsbow Bridge. Good to see you, Griff. This whole pathway is straight up ice, but so many people have walked here in the snow that it is actually quite nice to walk into snow here. And coming up is a filming location for Home Alone 2. Here is the Gatsbow Bridge, designed by Calbert Vox in 1868. This replaces the original wooden bridge that used to be here, which burned down just a couple of years after the park opened in 1860. Good to see you, Judith. If you like to write your name in fresh snow, awesome. So when they built Central Park, they used over 266 tons of gunpowder to sculpt the rock, and this bridge

is made with the leftover rock from construction. Good to see you, Jacqueline. Good to see you, Robert. Welcome, welcome. And now, and this here's where Kevin, uh, Kevin actually runs towards us from this perspective here. But what's funny is he runs over this bridge and he ends up in Washington Square Park. I don't know how he does that movie magic, but there it is, the Plaza Hotel. And we're right here by the pond. No special name, just the pond. But last year, this is where the infamous Mandarin duck showed up. Go to my replays. You can see a couple of replays with the Mandarin duck. But the Mandarin duck liked this area right here. I certainly missed a Mandarin duck. I hope he's doing well. Good to see you, Latasha. Welcome. This Plaza Hotel in the middle of the screen, 5th Avenue, 59th Street off in that direction over there, the Fifth Avenue, the Apple Store, lots of people out here, Gary. Indeed, lots of people out here. Let's keep it moving because I am

getting an audience when you walk around in tour guide mode. No doubt people want a free tour, and they stop and listen behind me like an audience, so I keep moving. Good to see you, Deacon 7000. Welcome. Let's see if we can get 300 concurrent today. That will be a record if we hit it. Good to see you, Joseph. Catching the feed. Awesome. Good to see you. Happy Friday, indeed. Yes, we're in Central Park. It's in the title. I tend to put where we're gonna live stream in the title, so if you're unsure of where I am, just read the title. Good to see a chaotic ranger. You are here through the power of the internet. Good morning, John. There's a lot of ice out here. Thank God I'm not taking my walking tour through here right now. There's a lot of ice out here. Holy crap, a lot of ice. Must have melted overnight and then froze this morning. Good to see you, Becky Boo.

Welcome. I'm gonna have to send an email to the conservancy here. This is really dangerous. This is really slippery. Holy crap. Gotta take my time here. Gotta take my time. Happy Friday indeed. Hey man, who did that? Did you just do that? Yo, my man, don't run by your riding floor. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. It's not funny. Where are you from? Are you from New York? What? That was... Who are you guys with? Who are you guys with? Who are you guys with? It's not funny. It's not funny. Yo, you just threw a snowball right at my face. It's not fun. I'm gonna keep... I'm gonna keep going. I'm just gonna keep following you. Yeah, my phone is all soaking wet. I gotta follow this guy. I don't care. And you know this ice? Yeah, I know. Thank you. This ice doesn't make it easier to get around while trying to hold a gimbal. There they go. Let's go find them. They gotta run to their hotel room.

there. I got him. I see him. I see him. He thinks he could disappear. You're in New York. We're gonna wait for his family to come up. We're gonna wait for his family. You know, you don't throw snowballs at random New Yorkers, that's for sure. That is for sure. This piece of... Where is he? Okay, we're gonna wait for his family. We're gonna wait for the family. We're gonna... We're gonna wait for the family. I want to see the family come out. The kid's lucky there is... It is considered a soul. He threw a dice. He knew he threw up. He threw an ice bowl at my head, and I'm covered now in snow. I am really pissed right now. And now I'm gonna look for the family. Now I'm gonna look for the family. If I find the family, you got another thing coming right now. There's that piece of... Where's that piece of... The mask is off. I'm pissed. The mask is off. It could have broken my glasses. Could have broken my phone. Could have broken a

lot of stuff right now. I'm covered in snow. Where the hell did he go? Where the hell did he go? Well, we gotta go back to the family. I saw the family. I saw that. I saw his must have been his brother. You know, we're trying to like keep to ourselves here. We're trying to keep to ourselves, but obviously we can't because people like to throw snowballs. I am really pissed right now. It's like no joke. It's like no joke. If you're a tourist coming to New York City and you do that kind of stuff, you don't belong here. Simple as that. So one went one way, one. Oh, here you are. Hey, is that just, was that your son who just threw a snowball at my head? I remember you. You were talking to him. He was blaming you for throwing the snowball. Okay, well, he just saw a snowball at my head. You're, I have it on tape here. I'm filming your head. What is this? I waved it off me. I waved

it off me. I have it on film. I have it on film, but you're not in your head. So, you said you stole all your head. I cleaned it off, man. Why you? Why is your son throwing snowballs at random people? What did I do wrong? Nothing. I don't need much stuff. You're living. You know, you understand that I'm here with equipment. I'm trying to give a virtual tour to my audience. I'm being polite because I'm a tour guide here in New York City. I can't touch you with COVID, okay? Enjoy it. I had to take the mask because I had to chase down your son, okay? You off. I'm gonna follow you now. Why? Because you told me to go off. You're in my city. You're in my city. You gotta respect the people who live here, okay? There's 154 people watching. Yeah. Why are you being so stupid? Am I being stupid over a cake? I can't eat you with a snowball and a cake. Come on.

come on, my friend, enjoy New York because I'm chasing after your son, your kid, your kid. I guess that's the past. Where are you guys from? From the UK? Where are you guys from? Where are you guys from? Because I'm a target. I like to know where all my guests are from. Yes, no, you are. You're here. You're here in my city. You're here in my city. Should I go Brooklyn on you guys or what? Should I go Brooklyn? I haven't gone Brooklyn yet. I'm still in Manhattan. Oh, New York. Come on, come on, come on, wankers. Every single one of you wankers. I don't care. You do. You're stuck through a snowball. You got to teach your son some tremailers for God's sake. Eight and a half million people live here. Burn and raise my brother. Born and raised. Enjoy New York. Go off. Yeah, look. Say that again. Say that again, please. Yes, I am. Yes, yes, I am. You just said a minute ago, how old are you? How old are you? What are

you doing? I'm 85 years old. What did you just say? Me to go wankers? You're wankers. No respect. Please, should I start coughing too? No, you should show yourself off that project. I will. I will throw myself off the bridge. Yo, his son threw a snowball at my head. But because of you, I'm gonna go. Thank you, man. Go off. Go get lost. All right, well, I'm so pissed right now. I am. Words can't describe it. It is assault. It was assault. But to them, because it's a kid, they don't care. They get the pass. They don't even apologize. Do not be like those tourists. Do not be like those tourists. You know I have... There is still snow in my glasses. What the hell is he talking about? There is snow in my glasses right now. Well, exactly. You guys got to see it. It's all recorded. You know I really wanted to have a nice quiet tour room in New York City. You have no idea how pissed off I am. You have no idea. He didn't apologize there.

was no apology because it's a kid. Thus, the kid gets a pass. Don't be like those tourists. All right, let's get this straight. Let's get this straight. Tourists like that don't deserve to be here in the city. They don't deserve to come here. He could have cared less. Tourists like that are not welcome here. I could have called, you know what, I could have called is entitlement. You know, I could have called the cops. I could have got a cop's attention. But you know what, I'm not going to do that right now. But people think it's funny to throw snowballs at people. But you know, these people, and I have dealt with tourists like this before. I have dealt with selfish ass tourists like this before. It is not my first time dealing with completely ungrateful piece of tourists. This is not my first time. I'm gonna try not to slip on the ice here. We're gonna try to get back on the tour. I should have followed them back to their hotel room, but

I have too much to do today, and evidently, it's funny. Good riddance indeed. That is the lowest class of Taurus right there, ladies and gentlemen. Like, look, look, let me just flip around. Look, I got to say, look, it didn't hit me in the head, right? And then it hit me in the head, right? It didn't hit me in the head, right? Look at all the snow by my head. Look at all the snow by my head. It didn't hit me in the head, right? I am going to take some deep breaths, right? Nobody, Simon, okay? Let me thank you guys. No, I'm not gonna. I should. I have no gloves. I have no glove on. I have one glove to hold the gimbal, and that's it. All right, let me. Let's reset. Let's reset. Let's reset. I want to call the cops in them too, but no use. There's no use, so I'm going to calm down right now. Let me take a breath here. I'm going to put back on my masks. I'm going to go

back into the park. There's snow all over the phone. There is snow all over the place. So some stupid wanker from the United Kingdom threw a snowball right at my head, and it went right into the camera, into the gimbal, into the phone. Okay, now, and I didn't go Brooklyn on them, by the way. I did not go Brooklyn. Brooklyn is much worse than that. So somebody threw a snowball at my head and thought it was funny, and the parents were very unapologetic. Yeah, you know, chaotic ranger, that is beyond disrespect, and I have dealt with that before. So a couple of things. When you visit a place in the world, do not attack the locals. Do not attack the locals, okay? Do not attack the locals because compared to other New Yorkers, I was being nice. So let's get that out of the way. I was being nice. No decorum, low-class wankers. They were terrible parents. All right, they have, what, four kids, five kids with them? Gotta neuter those types of

people gotta neuter them all, right? Lord have mercy indeed. I mean, all right, let's think about the good stuff. I renewed my contract today. I renewed my contract. I live in New York. I live in New York. I have roof access. I have an amazing wife. I may be out of regular work, but you guys make it all the better. Look at some sweating and four pieces. You'll be shot. Well, you know that could, you know, to tr true story. Throwing an ice bowl at somebody's head can be considered assault. And look, my hair is still wet. What is he talking about? The snowball didn't hit me in the head. I'm still wet on my head. So tourists visiting New York, don't throw random ice balls at people's heads. They're lucky it was me, to be honest. And we did get it on video. That's what I love, is that we got it on live stream. Low class wankers, low class. Good to see a casserole, low class wankers who don't belong here in New

york all right so if you're gonna come out to New York and throw snowballs at people's heads, okay, you don't belong here. It's time to leave, and I could be, you know, it could be assault. I don't know. Oh, you guys, now you made it behind me. Good. Okay, I gotta calm down now because Johnny Mocha just gave me a twenty-dollar super chat. Johnny Mocha, thank you so much for the super chat. I'm about to cry right now. There's a range of emotions going on. Johnny, thank you so much, man. I know Parks and Port Department just passed me, but they wouldn't do anything. They wouldn't do anything, believe me. Parks Department wouldn't do a goddamn thing. Okay, let's reset. Let's reset. So don't be like those tourists. Yeah, let's make their faces go viral. If you guys want to do some edits with it, I actually am giving everyone privilege right now to copy this live stream, and if you guys want to make some kind of, uh, some kind of an edit.

reel to be to say what what you shouldn't do as a tourist. Please feel free. So I do encourage everyone to make videos about this nonsense that we just dealt with in Amsterdam. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Crusader right now. I know. I, John. I know, John. John, I know. I know all you guys would have been with me with that. Look at that UK. The UK redeeming themselves with 20 pounders. You're chaotic ranger. You're more than welcome. That was assault. That was assault. All right. Thank you so much, chaotic ranger, for the 20 pounds. I want to cry. I want to laugh. I want to yell. I want to curse people out. But notice how they only took. They only took. They only got upset with me when I started using curse words. How funny was that. All right. Let me put my. Let me put back on my mask. Let me put back on my mask. Completely unapologetic wankers. Yeah, I mean, I'm embarrassed by that father too because now his

now his face is all over the internet, all over YouTube now for as long as we could remember, and don't feel ashamed for their behavior, chaotic range of views. I have taken far many more, you know, guests from the United Kingdom around New York City, and there have been lovely people. All right, let me, I got this mask all tangled up with my microphone here, but people don't be like that, folks. Don't be like that, don't be like that. You have to go to, you know, when you visit places around the world, you have to respect the people who live there. And if you don't respect the people who lived, I mean, what would have been so question for everyone, or I'm going to answer a question that I'm going to answer, well, I'm going to ask the answer myself, is what would going Brooklyn would have meant if I was going Brooklyn on them. I would have followed them to their hotel room. If I was really going Brooklyn on them, I would have followed them to their hotel.

room and then I would have got the first cop I would have seen. I would have stopped the live stream and I would have been like, Hey, that one of those kids just assaulted me with an ice bowl and the father didn't seem to care. That's what going all Brooklyn on them would have meant. Shields with the 27-99 Canadian. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for the virtual hug and thank you so much for the super chat, Shields. Thank you so much. Oh man, don't be like those tourists. Those are the worst kind of tourists you could ever encounter. Tourists who throw snowballs at people at their heads. Come on, come on. It's bad enough we have the COVID. It's bad enough all of our economies are in shambles. It's bad enough there's probably a half a million people starving for food within a half mile of where I'm standing right now. It's a shame that there are 37,000 homeless people here in New York City. It's a shame.

that over 780,000 people lost their jobs here in New York. Hugs all around, Jude. Thank you so much for the $10 super chat, Judith. You're amazing, Judith. So, what happened? You just saw it, Robert. You were in the chat before. Ah, exactly there. I know they're probably all laughing about it, but that's gonna be on them because, you know what, ladies and gentlemen, and I have seen it personally many times in my life, karma is a... Alright, so thank you, Johnny Mocha. Thank you, Chaotic Ranger. Thank you, Shields. Thank you, Judith. Good to see you, Lorraine. Did I miss the super chat? Make sure I got all the super chats here. Alright, let's keep on going. The kids are running the show in that family, and it's sad. Good to see you, Mike in South Carolina. I think I hope I did rattle him. What goes around always comes around, Michelle. Let's continue on with our tour. We were, you know, we were just easing into a lovely walk around.

central park until those disgusting wankers ruined it all. But we're going to keep going. Did I go to Midwood High School? No, I did not kneel. I'm doing great, com, doing great, doing great. You know, again, to reiterate, you know, while I love the super chats and I love the interaction, I love the likes, I love the comments, I love all the love, I don't do this for numbers, I don't do this for super chats, I do this to keep my own tour fresh and clean, and what I'm doing right now is walking my tour route. So don't be like those people, don't be like those people. But remember, folks, I was a bad guy because I use curse words. Remember that, remember that. You imagine, William, you imagined to be able to throw a rocket in my head. Could you imagine that family was disgusting? That family was so low class. That's like a low-class family, low-class wankers, every single one of them, wankers, low-class, low-class family. Thank you so much, I should have called.

the cops, but the cops probably would have done nothing anyway. It's garbage. Good to see Ivy, a kid, a random Taurus from the United Kingdom, throw a snowball slash ice ball at my head, covered my phone, my jacket, and the gimbal in snow and ice. All right, but remember, I'm the bad guy for using curse words. Remember that, folks. I'm the bad guy for using the curse words. Kid throws a snowball at my head. The father says, Where's the snow? What? and completely unapologetic. That is a low-class family. That is a low-class family. I never met such trashy people in Central Park in my life. Such trash. They don't belong here in New York. I'm happy all the Broadway shows are closed for them. I'm sorry if you work in Broadway. I have a few friends who work in Broadway, but those people do not deserve to come see you perform. That is for sure. Low-class family right there, and karma will get them back. Something tells me when they go fly home.

They're not going to have a pleasant flight going home. Just saying, that's a long comment. Thank you so much, Paul. I just want to walk. The equipment is okay. I just checked all the equipment. The equipment is fine, but that's low-class people right there. Low-class people, man. Just disgusting low-class people who do not, who knew, who not, who didn't, who did not deserve. And he's going to go, I don't want to kiss his either. Go New York on me. Like, Where's New York? Well, Manhattan. He clearly doesn't know what Brooklyn is. But like I said, if I was, if I would have gone Brooklyn on them, we would have followed them to their hotel room, and I would have done it in such a creepy way, guys. It would have been on the whole, it would have been on stream the whole time. Don't worry about it, mom's life. You wait to the party. Let's read this backtrack here. There is ice all over this park. It is really hard to

get around right now, so I'm trying to walk without slipping. I'm trying to walk without slipping here, guys, so please bear with me. I'm missing comments, I know, but this whole thing is straight-up ice. Disgusting people, completely disgusting people, completely disgusting people. All right, uh, cool snowman. We gotta definitely, uh, gotta definitely ice this down. This is really dangerous to walk on right now. Well, we got the whole family on video, so please feel free if you guys want to make a PSA. I encourage everyone to copy this and to, uh, to make a video about what not to do as a New York City tourist, and let's make it go viral. Let's have some fun with it. No doubt they're gonna end up on my Instagram tonight. Okay, let's, let's go back to where we were. Let's go back to where we were. Let's go back to where we started, where we got interrupted by those trash, those trashy-ass tourists. Let's go back to where we were, and we're going to continue our tour.

that is my job. Okay, all right, I'm gonna restart the stream in a sense of I'm gonna, I'm going to reset it. I'm not going to stop the stream, everyone. Alexa, Euro, thank you so much. Alexander, get my glasses in order here. Those are trashy ass tourists, the worst of the worst. All right, let's breathe, let's breathe. Time to reset bumper stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do magic mirror. Tell me today, are my friends ready for fun and play? I see Pablo, I see Mr. Fox, I see Alexander, I see Brian Davis. Thank you so much for the PayPal, Brian. I see New York hot candy, I see comb, I see Nebul, I see John Lore, I see thirty thirty, I see Josh, I see mom's life, I see Mike Mike T, hello. I see shields, I see chaotic ranger, I see John Lore, I see, I see Sarah, I see Judith, I see Christine, I see Ivy Lin, I see Patrick, I see Lorraine.

that's how you reset a live stream. Let me remember the good old days with Miss Molly and the Romper Room. Good to see you, Susie Q. You ready for some fun? Let's do it. Good to see you, Mike, out there in South Carolina. All right, we're back. I'm back now. We were getting to the ice skating rink here. This is the Kate Waldman rink, and just above that, the towers of Billionaires Row. And let's start out with this really skinny one right here. This is the thinnest skyscraper in all of the entire world. That is the Steinway Tower, the building that started it all along Billionaires Row. That is 57th Street right here. The tallest building, the second tallest building in North America, with the highest occupiable floor in North America. This is the Central Park South Tower. And then right next to it right here, that is 220 Park West. Kind of amazing. Why am I outside wearing a mask? Because there's people within a six-foot

distance of me. Hope that answers your question. That father was a fool right here. This is one of the four original buildings for Central Park. This is called the dairy, and the dairy was designed by Calvert Vaux in 1865. And like the name suggests, stays to sell cheese and milk here and whatnot. Unfortunately, in the 1990s, there was a little bit of a listeria scare. But if you can imagine when this building was first built in 1865, there were cows grazing. Kind of amazing. Hello there, uh, people of Earth. Breathe yet to my Russian viewers. Let's continue on. Let's continue on. I like that place too. Good to see you, KD. Welcome. Now I got to somehow get up this hill that's full of ice. You ski that ice skating rink. Awesome. As we walk up the hill here, you see a structure at the top of the hill. That is the chess and checkers house. And as the name suggests, back in the day, you used to be able to borrow summertime in the springtime.

now the building was built here in the 1950s, but originally this was the formal area where children, if you could imagine, when central park opens up in 1858, there are no playgrounds in all of central park, there are no playgrounds here in central park. So if you can imagine this mound of rock here had handholds in it and whatnot, and this mound of rock was called kid mountain, and we could imagine, I just let your kids climb all over this. This was a formal play area here, yes. This is a chess and checkers house. This is called the chess and checkers house, built on the former site of kid mountain. Yeah, low-class Christine, low-class. Good to see you, Tina, good to see you. Welcome, commuter, welcome. Let's not mention that low-class family again, by the way. Let's not even mention that low-class family, that low-class disgusting wanker family from the United Kingdom. Let's not even talk about them anymore because I know karma will get back to them. I'm not even worried about it now.

they're going to get a really bad New York moment, and it's not going to be cool. We're going to make our way now across 65th street, even though when Central Park was built in 1858, the city only came up as far north as 42nd street. But they knew the city would go around the park, and in order to facilitate crosstown traffic, they created traverses like this one right here. So right now, we're on top of 65th street, and this is the first example of one of the first examples in the world of grade separation. So pedestrians on top, carriages on the bottom, to maintain a peaceful park. These paths out here are treacherous, man. They almost damaged my gear. Mom's, let's not talk about it. Mom's life, I'm kind of over it now. I'm kind of over it now. To see Arisa Senegal Village is in the area of 82nd street and the west side of the park. So think the area near

the rose center of planetary science, natural history museum, kind of area 86th street and the west side, or 82nd street and the west side of the park. That's where sailing village was, Seneca village, one of the largest free African-American villages in the country, one of the first, and actually, it's also one of the first places where you really get an integrated society. First three African Americans begin moving up there when the lots become ready for sale, and then eventually some German and Irish families move uptown. So, it's kind of amazing when you look at the town records. They were doing some research about the town and how they lived. They noticed that a lot of the town, they went to each other's weddings, they went to each other's birthday parties and christenings. So, it was very much an integrated community, which is quite, quite amazing for 1825. This ice makes it so hard to walk around. Good to see a knot today. Welcome. How many miles will I walk so

far. We're gonna walk about two miles today, not very far at all. Just gotta be careful here, there's a lot of ice here in the park. I wasn't expecting, I was not expecting this much ice here in the park, so I got to be a little careful walking around here on the ice. Columbus, we're here in the southern end of the mall, the only straight pathway here in the mall as they get more, more, more, more, more, uh, you know, my hair is wet anyway. Ah, this is Columbus. This is literary walk here, the southern end of the mall, and across the way over there, that's William Shakespeare. But now let's, uh, let's go over here to the mall. There is ice everywhere in here, wow. This is really treacherous here today. I gotta really be careful walk in here, and here it is, ladies and gentlemen. I wish I had, I should have wore ice grips, Maurice. I should have wore ice grips. Usually, Central Park is a little bit better than this, but welcome to the only straight pathway.

in all of central park. This is the mall. A lot of the trees around here were original to the park. They were planted here between 1855 and 1856. This is one of the largest groves of great American elm trees outside of Washington, D.C. In this grove alone, there's almost 400 great American elm trees. But throughout all of central park, you can find close to 3,000 great American elm trees. As you see, even in the wintertime, they make this beautiful canopy of limbs and branches. It's quite beautiful. Yeah, they didn't salt down enough of the pathways here. They should have salted down the pathways a little bit better here. They didn't do a really good job today assaulting down the pathways. But now let's make our way up the mall. So this, when the park first opens up, nearly 50% of all park users have a private carriage. Who has a private carriage in the 1860s? Well, the top 5% earners. So for the first 10 years, the park was

open the park was very much just for the rich because they were the only ones to get up here. Oh, whoa, here goes the ice. I got to be really careful here. This ice is super thick. Holy crap, this is really dangerous. Oh my God, I'm like, I'm, I'm, am I skating? Holy crap, am I skating? Can I find a little bit of salt or sand? Bloody hell, this is bad. Ah, and I know I'm missing comments left and right. I am okay, Vic, I am okay. I just gotta, this is like practically impossible to walk down, especially while you're holding a gimbal, trying to talk to the audience. This is definitely a very, a very trying, a very trying walk here today. Low-class tourists, man, I tell you. Here's a women's rights pioneers right here. Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. We finally have us finally, after all these years, have a statue for famous women here in the park. If you want to learn more about this monument, click on that QR.

code right there, and you can hear some amazing historical stuff about our monumental women's statue. Let's keep moving here. I seem to be attracting an audience. Ah [Music]. Welcome. I'm trying to walk on snow for traction, but it's all padded down, and it's a thick sheet of ice, and there's no sand anywhere. Usually, they put a lot of sand on these pathways so that we could get a little bit of traction. You don't remember that? Oh no. Uh, Risa, that statue was placed here a few months ago on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 25th amendment, enabling the right for women to vote. Audience, do follow me everywhere, Jim. Good to see you. Finally watched a fearless girl blending in with the crowd. Awesome. I am wearing Kiko. Good to see you. I am wearing Timberland Arctic boots. Timberland Arctic boots. Mom's life. Move on. Mom's life. Mom's life.

move on. We're not talking about that anymore. We're not talking about the low-class people anymore. We have moved on because there's far more important things to talk about than that low-class family and that low-class wanker family. So, stop it. We're not talking about them anymore, please. They got enough time on camera. If you want, please feel free to make a video about what not to do as a New York City tourist. Good to see you, Carl from London. Carl and Jade from London. Good to see you. High fives indeed. Good to see you, Tina. All right, now we're back into the groove. You got to be careful out here. Yeah, there's ice everywhere. Tyc, welcome. No, there's no more snow in the forecast, but it is going to remain cold for the next four or five days. Not too many trees flowering in the park just now, Nancy, but give it a few months and there'll be lots of trees flowering. We do come out here.

in the springtime when everything is blooming so or go to my replays. Okay, didn't drop the gimbal. Good, we're dancing on the snow here. This would be a great lawsuit for Central Park if we get it on tape. Yeah, this is not safe at all. I might need to abandon this walk because all the pathways are like this now. All the pathways are like this. Holy crap, Central Park Conservancy. I am really upset with you guys. You guys are so much better about the ice here on the pathways. They're so much better than this. Guys, I can't read comments. I gotta look down at where I walk so I know I'm missing comments. Gonna see a Ramona Espana. Who needs the Walman rink? I know who needs a woman ring, but you have the mall. I want you know I'm gonna have to walk in the snow, but a lot of these areas you're not allowed to walk in the snow or on the grass. It's a workout. I gotta be really careful.

this is not safe. None of this is safe. Yeah, probably Jim. Probably. Probably. Well, remember that Central Park Conservancy is funded by private donations, so the city doesn't pay for the maintenance of this park anymore. Maybe about five percent of the maintenance of this park is paid from taxes. So, and I know they haven't fired anyone as a conservancy. It is beautiful. It is beautiful, but it's really treacherous. All right, now I have some good grip. I'm back on some snow, but exactly, Ivy, exactly. Trying not to panic when they start sliding around. Okay, let me keep going. We keep going. Wow, anything could happen on the live stream. Anything. Oh, I hear the Chinese violin. Am I cold? No, I'm sweating because I'm trying not to slip on the ice. I am actually sweating right now, and I am going to slowly go down these steps here. Let's see, do they clear these steps? Yes, they did. Oh no, they didn't. They didn't clear these steps. This is really treacherous. Let's go down.

Good to see you, Stephanie. This is insane how much ice there is around here. This is insane. This is insane how much ice. You know, I have done tours literally hours after big snow storms, and the conservancy is really good at putting down sand and salt, and bigger storms than the one we got a couple days ago. Gonna see you, Frankie. Merry Christmas from Taylor's Welcome. Yeah, it's really slip. It's really slick. It's really, really slick. Like this here is more normal. This is what it's usually like with plenty of grip. The luckiest dogs all come to Central Park. All right, let's see it. Good to see you from Saudi Arabia. Paradise Park was much cleaner. There it is, our angel of the waters fountain, Bethesda Terrace, angel of the waters fountain built to commemorate the opening of the Croton aquifer, the first fresh water system for the city of New York. A beautiful view indeed. Yeah, oh, we got a Santa Claus playing down there.

let's go see Santa Claus. Let me slowly go down these treacherous steps. Exactly, not the Friends fountain. Exactly, they lie, they lie in the DVD. My wife is a big Friends fan, and when she got the DVD, we watched the bonus footage together for the first time, and we both yelled at the TV when I said, like, it showed the Cherry Hill fountain, and I was like, we were like, that is not the Friends fountain. The Friends fountain is in Los Angeles. I gotta take my time down these steps. Here is this from the film Home Alone. Yes, yes, da da da da. Okay, there we go. Ah, awesome, Stephanie. Welcome. [Music] Oh, thanks for enjoying Prospect Park yesterday. Christmas. Okay, yeah, it was very fun in Prospect Park last night or yesterday. Yesterday afternoon. Yeah, we got to say hello to Santa. Beginning to look a lot like Christmas. [Music] Everywhere you go. [Music] It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. [Music]

soon [Music] I needed that. Thank you, man. There you go for everyone who wants to give him a donation. Give him a donation. He's bringing the Christmas spirit here. Thank you, Mr. Kazoo. Have a good one, man. Merry Christmas. Oh, that like legit reset my brain. Music truly the elixir of life. Oh, he's doing another. He's doing Jingle Bell Rock. Bell Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Rock. Jingle Bells fans and shake and fell down snowin and blowin. He said he's a New York Santa, so he has to be thin. He's a New York Santa. He's a New York Santa. And we walk a lot here in New York, so we're all kind of thin. It's your friend Teddy Branson Jones's birthday. Happy birthday, Teddy. Okay, the beautiful San Remo apartments. Yeah, music is the best for the soul. All right, how the hell. Okay, this has sand on it, so I have grab traction here, so we're going to slowly make my way down this pathway here.

let's go say hello to Alice. Good to see you, Miss Blee. I'm okay, I'm okay, Robert. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. I bet I have dealt with far worse. The health conscience says exactly. Oh, it's a health-conscious Santa. It's a health-conscious Santa, folks, bringing the yule and the spirit here to the 843 acres of goodness that is Central Park. Yeah, exactly. Shields left. Am I live tonight? No, I'm not live tonight. Well, I'm technically live tonight. If you like to join me tonight at eight o'clock, tonight is night number two of our Latina Burlesque Festival. It is a virtual event where you could buy tickets. Just go to coneyisland.com for more information. So, this is not Tavern on the Green. This is the Loeb Boathouse. This is the Loeb Boathouse, but we will see Tavern on the Green. Well, maybe. I don't know. I might have to leave the park because it's so hard to walk around here.

I wasn't expecting it to be this hard to walk around the park, and it is very hard to walk around the park right now with all the little patches of ice, which I'm really surprised that there are this many patches of ice here in the park. Like I said, usually, they do a much better job cleaning it up. Do we got an aw? What's I am trying to walk in the powder. Did I go to Tiger Heights last night? I went to Bay Ridge. I went to my own neighborhood last night. That was in my own, my own neighborhood. You know what, Neil? We might go to the obelisk. I do want to see Belvedere Castle today, so we might just head over by the obelisk. It's so warm. I do not have gloves on anymore, and I am still sweating. Yeah, the neighborhood was treacherous last night. Okay, yeah, yeah, a lot of streets are iced over, but this is what makes it fun to live in New York, right? Okay, do I know from Beverly Deer?

from Beverly Castle, you can what oh yes, you could, you could see the Shakespeare in the park, yes, called the Delacorte Theater, and yes, you can see from the Delacorte, you can see inside into the Delacorte Theater. I think it is budget cuts, you know. Fun fact, when I went to the Netherlands for a month, I'll never forget, I'm not going to lie, I got a little too drunk at a bar in Utrecht, and I remember apologizing to the barkeep and to the waitress and everyone there for being a little too drunk, and I remember they were like, Well, if this is you behaving badly, then you're an angel, and we wish all belligerent drunk people behave the way you do. So, I will never misbehave in other people's countries, that is for sure. Hello from Croatia, welcome to the uh, this is the model boat pond, this is the conservatory water right here. If you see the movie Stupid Little Two, this is where we have the

boat race in Stuart Little Two. I'm a fun drunk, exactly, and there is pale male's home, the red-tailed hawk that moved in back in 1997, still perched on that middle window. There he moved in in 1997. They removed his nest. Some 300,000 New Yorkers signed a petition to put the net 24 hours a day in front of that apartment building, and now the nest is backing out of that first nesting pair of red-tailed hawks. Yeah, that's Paul Lazan's apartment, right by the way. Yeah, that's Paul Lazan's apartment. Her downstairs neighbor used to be Mary Tyler Moore, but uh, that's Paul Lazan's apartment. And uh, yep, they put the nest back, and now that first nesting pair of red-tailed hawks, there are now 33 nesting red-tailed hawks here in Central Park, probably more now, but kind of amazing. The red-tailed hawks seem to know their real estate because you could most, you could find most red-tailed hawks

here along Fifth Avenue, kind of amazing, and now amazingly enough, we're getting American bald eagles here in the New York tri-state area, which is ridiculous. There was a sighting of an American bald eagle not that far from here at around 79th Street and Hudson River Park, so it's kind of amazing how the bird life is adapting to the city. Good to see you, Dwayne. Let's go, let's go, let's go see Alice. Let's see if anyone's hanging out with Alice. So many New York City live streams, yeah, but this is the best. You found the best, baby. Well, besides me, an urbanist. [Laughter] There she is, there she is, a gift to the city, to the children of the city of New York. Here's our Alice in Wonderland. It was placed here in 1961, a gift to the city of New York by George Delecourt in honor of his wife, Margarita. Cast in separate pieces in Red Hook, Brooklyn, it was brought together as one single

piece here in the park. George Delacorte does play a role in this amazing statue. He plays the role of the Mad Hatter, but without George Delacorte, we would not have our Delacorte Theater and Shakespeare in the Park. But if you're a kid of New York City, this is yours, and nobody put the little scarf around the little kitten's neck. Usually, there's somebody around here who puts a scarf around a little kitten's neck. I love the statue too. He was in the park yesterday, got too cold. Yeah, well, we're gonna explore not the whole park, but a good chunk of it. Yeah, isn't that amazing there, Robert? I tried to be the best guys. All right, look at that view. Look at the Steinway Tower. John P. S. Sturdy with a five-dollar super chat. Thank you so much. I'm glad you're enjoying the New York City history because that's all New York is. It's history.

the history is always all around us. Yeah, Alice is not wearing a mask now. I think it keeps on falling off. But thank you so much for the final super chat. All right, all right, let's um, so this right here, this is the, this circle right here, this is the um, conservatory water, also known as the model boat pond, the conservatory waters. What's for dinner? Food, food. All right, let's go up this pathway here. Let's go up to uh, Belvedere Castle here and Vista Rock. I love New York too, Gillian. Welcome. I am contractually obligated to love New York. What kind? Hot food. Alice was Dotson's real daughter. Oh really? I didn't know that, Paul. That's awesome, little awesome little factoid there. Yes, warm food is always good to eat. Good to see you there, Study Z. Welcome. See, they put this, when they put the sand down, it's a lot easier to walk. Good to see you from Portugal. No, no Popeyes today. No Popeyes today. This, so the restaurant is inside the low

boathouse and ever since the cove and it's been closed domino dominos is cardboard it's not real pizza. I see I'm missing a lot of comments, guys. I'm trying to make sure I don't slip on the ice, so I'm not my normal comment reading self right now. So please bear with me as I try to get through this ice. Okay, I could relax now. We gotta walk in the blacktop here for our little bits. Safety first. Yes, good to see you, Bianca. Welcome. You can dance if you want to. No longer. Yeah, I do my best, Dave. Thank you so much. It's actually so much easier not be you went on a boat. Awesome, awesome, Paul. I hope you had a good time taking a ride on a boat in the lake of Central Park. One of the best things you could do.
