hello everybody. It is January 15th, 2021, around 1:30 p.m. 41 Celsius, 5 degrees. No, 41 Fahrenheit, 5 degrees Celsius. I am aboard the five train right now, and I'll be doing a walk of the Bronx. We're approaching the 174th Street station. Should be a pretty nice walk today. Stand clear of the closing doors, please. Yeah, that's strange. I've been having bad internet connection already. [Music] Wow, that's a lot of traffic there. That cross rocks too much traffic. Uh, Sonic, I'm on the fire train. Yeah, Clemens is a tough start to the stream, that's for sure. Not all the time you're gonna have a smooth connection. I thought since I'm outside on the subway, it's elevated, I have good service, but that wasn't the case. So please be careful of the gap between the platform and the train. Transfer to the Q44 Select Bus Service. All right, West Farm Square East Tremont Avenue Station. I love the stained glass at the subway.

station. It's really nice. This is Stand clear of the closing doors, please. Ding dong. Yeah, Benji's out by the proxy. Wow, they had to announce it twice. And mh saying, Is Tremontz the subway? says it's Tremontz. I always thought it was Tremens, but I guess there's Prima, there's West Farm Square down there. All right, Benji is saying, Am I going to the zoo? No, I'm not going to the zoo today. Let me help this person out. Looks like she didn't even need help. And we're going to go this way. I know I had used it already. [Music] You got the people there asking for metro card swipes to go in because it's illegal to jump the turnstile. But if someone else swipes in for them, then it's not illegal. All right, first thing I'm noticing is my camera is a little bit crooked. I think that subway ride has something to do with it. So the next time I find a flat surface or something, I'll try to fix it.

wow, this uh structure here needs a bad paint job. Thank you, Ryan 68, with one hero. All right, let me fix this stabilization. That's kind of crooked. I don't see a bench anywhere close by, so I think I'll just use this parking lot. Why not just lay it down here and see if I can straighten this out before it gets any worse? I need to move it to the left some more. [Music] What is going on here? What? Why is it so unbalanced? Sorry about this technical issue. All right, I guess it's fine that way it is. All right, I think I'm good now. So this is the West Farms neighborhood of the Bronx. I'm headed west on Tremont Avenue. I know this is a major road that goes through the Bronx. Moto Moto, I'm not going to the Bronx Zoo. I know the Bronx Zoo is the most iconic location in the Bronx, pretty much, but I've been there a few times already, and I don't want to go there today. Today, I want to explore

this part of the Bronx maybe even walk into Manhattan mixing made easy. Thank you so much for five bucks, appreciate it very much. Thank you also, my new mass design comes courtesy of these people on Etsy. So find designs if I could focus this thing, there we go. [Music] Beautiful designs, various face masks that they sent me, all New York City theme by the way. Am I far away from Co-op City? Yeah, I'm a little bit far from Co-op City. Wow, this school here looks like it's on a hill, it's a huge school. Seems very quiet right now in the Bronx. Then again, it's January, it's cold, and there's not too much going on over here. This is East Tremont Avenue and Vice Avenue, V-Y-S-E. [Music] Goodness gracious, zoom, zoom, zoom. Welcome to the Bronx. Let's see what we got over here, chiropractor, Mark the Bridal. I'm probably going to see a lot of mom and pop businesses on Tremont Avenue walking west.

whereas compared to like Fordham Road and the Hub, you see a lot more commercial places. This is the local fire department, Ladder 58, Tremont Pizza and Fried Chicken. That looks like a great spot, a gyro for $6.99, family pack special. And I think they're installing some new signage on that grocery store across the street. Unfortunately, Medline truck is blocking my view. Now here we go, RK Jelly Grocery, the local Bronx bodegas. Some of these bodegas too, they make great sandwiches, hamburgers, Philly cheesesteaks. If you're ever in New York City, don't be afraid to go inside a local bodega and get yourself some local food, because that's what I do a lot of times. It's quick, it's fast, and it's tasty. It's getting a little bit chilly right now with the wind. Tremont Adult Daycare, Adult Daycare. Wow, usually daycares for little children, but they have an adult daycare here. We've got Palematic, RNK Pet Shop, and an electronics store.

tj saying you don't see snow in New York. That's because there's no snow. It's too warm for it right now. We are scheduled to get some rain later on, but that's going to be past four o'clock or so in the afternoon. It won't rain for a good amount of time. We got Cortona Parkway. [Music] There's a lot of tires. If you want to get your flat fixed, you come here. There's so many tires that they even piled up on top of this truck here. We have Southern Boulevard. Southern Boulevard, major street in the Bronx. If I were to take Southern Boulevard all the way this side, I'll head to the Bronx Zoo. It runs along the western edge of the Bronx Zoo. Roy's restaurant bar. That looks like it's been there for a long time. Some old font over there. Kennedy Chicken, another local grocery. I'm getting a sense that this part of the Bronx, there's a huge Latin American influence. I don't really know about much about

this part of the Bronx, but I know this big pockets of Latin American neighborhoods. Oh, look, we have an African market here, Sombra African Market. Even some traditional African clothes. Wow, look at this veritable Dutch wax, 100% cotton. That's great. Hey, what's up? No, I'm not okay. Thank you, doctor's office. I'm not working for the doctor's office. I have to mute folks. I can't play this music on the stream. [Music] All right. I wish I could play that music on the stream, but I'll get in trouble from YouTube. Uptown NYC. I missed my doctor's performance. No, I didn't. Pretty much free mass. Whoa, that's great that they're able to give away free massive people on the street like that. Wow, that's unbelievable to have a home goods store completely in Spanish at the top. Ryan Rise, thank you so much for 549 Canadian. My channel is awesome. Cheers, Action Kid. Thank you, Fabian. This is considered your first tour of the Bronx, and you live in New

york city. That's what I find a lot of New Yorkers do. They just stay within their own communities, and maybe they'll just commute to Manhattan once in a while. They never venture out of their own community, and that's a shame. I wish more New Yorkers would go explore outside their own communities. Let's cross the street because I don't want to wait for this light. Zaruma Beauty Spa, Nails, and Salon looks like they do a lot of different hairstyles in there. Just Kate saying there's so much to explore. Oh yes, New York City, you're going to get endless content here. Different neighborhoods, different times of day, different communities. El Nuevo Bow Heel Restaurant. Wow, sandwiches, mofongo. Wow, that store is loaded. You know what, I gotta cross the street again 'cause they got stuff from the window. I can show you the username 7777. That Denise still exists. Yeah, I just noticed the name there. It says 10 bucks. Yeah, bel bonjour. My phone goes great. It's awesome.

I had some in New Orleans. All right, let's play some more my own music now. All right, let's turn the music off because I'm far away from the car now blasting the music. All right, look at this place. Wow. [Music] Combo 4: onion steak, rice, bean salad, and a free soda. 24 bucks. Combo 2: three fried pork chops, rice, beans, fried sweet plantain, salad, and a free soda. I saw this food from across the street, and I said I had to come here and record this. Look at this. That is freaking good. Oh my gosh, look at that crispy skin on that pork. That looks good. I'm sure that 24 bucks has a lot of meat. Don't just speed the seed and look at the initial price because some of these places, they give you enough food to last three meals. You gotta really see it to believe it in order to make a judgment on the price. And someone was mentioning the Denise 10 boxes right here. I guess everything here is less than 10.

bucks, Robert Parker's saying it's a cardiac nightmare too. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend eating that stuff all the time. Definitely don't. There's a local hardware store. Looks like it's been here for a long time. Hardware and Discount Incorporated. Tough stuff, power tools. I don't think there's been a single corner I've passed that didn't have a deli or grocery. They've got another one, Bronx Gourmet Deli and Grocery, and a local fruit and vegetable vendor. Yeah, Kringle one saying the Bronx is huge. Several different communities across the big geographic area. Well, I have to add something to that. The Bronx is actually New York City's smallest borough, but I feel like the neighborhoods in the Bronx are a little bit more concentrated than the other ones throughout the city. Here's a tiling place. There's a lot of culture and community in the Bronx. Christophe saying the Bronx got the largest parks. Yeah, Vancouver. Oh no, why'd I do that? I pulled on the

microphone all right. I gotta connect this again, stupid me. [Music] All right, let's connect it again. No, I just pulled on the cable, and the cable got disconnected. This is El Vale restaurant, 733 East Truman Avenue, Tremont. I always say Tremend, but now that I know it's Streamon, I'm gonna have to say it's Trimat Shima. That looks good, small chickens, another corner store. [Music] Jamaica Africa grocery. Yes, Alex, I have done a video of Little Italy in the Bronx multiple times. Linda's Wing K, Boy Pizzeria. Let's take a look at some of their menu options. They have an extensive menu. Look at this hamburger for five bucks, cheeseburger for 575, Mexican rat 825, baked ziti 950. Wow, they got every kind of cuisine here. Teriyaki chicken 650. Talk about the jack of all trades for lunch here. Yadi's saying I should walk through the Grand Concourse someday. I've been there.

too. I've even biked throughout his entire length. Now it looks like, uh, it's getting a little bit more crowded on Tremont Avenue. Thank you, Ray Roshan, for five bucks. The store is making you hungry. Happy New Year's. Appreciate it very much. Now we got checkers. Crazy good food, Stacy. Thank you so much. Get yourself a warm drink. Thank you for the walk. Thank you, Stacy. Appreciate it very much. Now we got Cortona Avenue. I've been on Cortona Avenue before, especially riding my bicycle. Going to the left goes all the way to Crotona Park. Heading up this way, I'll go towards Pelham Parkway. [Music] There's a discount store across the street, but it looks like it's closed. [Music] Smooth NYC. You grew up on Crotona Avenue. That's awesome. [Music] The end saying there's snow later tonight. I didn't hear that. I heard it was some rain coming. I think it's a little bit too warm for snow. African hair braiding.

one saying it feels like yesterday when I went to the Joker steps. It really does. I mean, I'm kind of headed that direction, but I won't be going there. Another corner store on Tremont Avenue. Lydia Cordero, thank you for $4.99. East Tremont Deli and Grocery. Cat's saying the snow in the forecast. Oh, there is. And this would have been another corner store, but they're not open right now. Fruits, fish, and meats. Meat Pueblo, fruit and meat. Uh, Gulo asking on apartment prices in Queens. You should check a real estate website like Street Easy or Zillow. I think that'll be a better, um, better reference than me. So much music. [Music] All right, I love the Bronx, but I don't love doing live streams and music around. That's a big problem here. And here's a McDonald's on Arthur Avenue. I think this is the start of Arthur Avenue. It starts at Tremont Avenue. If you were to head to the right, you'll go right up to the Bronx Little.

Italy in the Belmont section of the Bronx. [Music] Oh yes, 17. This McDonald's probably gets a lot of business. I've even eaten at this McDonald's. Come on, you heard a little bit of my New York accent right there when the car is driving. My real quick, I was like, come on, music, not for me. And here we have the post office in the Bronx. Sofia Farah, thank you so much for five bucks. In case I like a Big Mac, no, not today. Let's go into this park. It looks really nice. I don't think I've ever been into this park. Peter, thank you so much for the HUF 800. Is that Hungarian francs? Thank you. Al Underwood, five bucks. Thank you for such wonderful walking tours. You'll do one of Los Angeles for me. Thank you so much. This here is Walter Gladwin Park. Blaze Jay saying Bronx is the most hilly borough for sure. It is. It definitely is.

this park looks quiet. There's not much going on in this park at all. Aaron's saying how long's the cut-off when copyright music is detected. It could be as little as a second, but I think YouTube really only has their content ID flag after 10 seconds. This is kind of strange. This little circular area here feels like there's supposed to be a fountain or something here, but they got this new tree in the middle here. Actually, all these trees are new. They just put these up, huh? This park is pretty simple-looking. I mean, there's a good amount of space in this park, but there really doesn't seem to be too many attractions here that make it interesting to come to. There was a playground there, and then there's some fields over there to the left of me. Let's go over there and check out the conditions of the fields, but maybe I'll walk up here first. Let's walk up here first, and maybe I can get a sense of what this park is like.

from the top, what in the world is this? I feel, I really feel like this park can be much better maintained. It's kind of been, this kind of feels like it's been lost in time, like the city could put something here, maybe a playing field or something, or track and field, and there's just a row that goes around, it doesn't really go anywhere, and I already see the field down there, it doesn't really look well maintained as well. Stephen Hill saying it looked like back in the 70s when you were a kid, it doesn't look like it's changed at all. [Music] This park can use a lot more TLC from the city, like people saying a skatepark would make this park look better, anything, there's not much here at all, and what's this up here? Why is there like a random wall here in the middle of no place? Why don't they like put stairs up here and put something up there too? I don't know, definitely one of the most neglected parks I've ever, ever been to in the city.

Steven's saying, Nope, you used to play here. The train, the Third Avenue, used to run across from the field. Oh, okay. I actually think this is Third Avenue over here. Yeah, it is, because I remember walking the entire length of Third Avenue in the Bronx, and I saw this park from down below. I mean, this park's got a lot of space. It's just that they need to do a lot more things with it. [Music] All right, let's go down these steps. We got a whiskey bottle, looks like, and somebody's glasses. It looks like there's not even any lenses in those glasses. Oh, wait, I found the lens. The lens is over here. Meanwhile, the glasses are over here. I think I know what happened there. Probably was drinking the whiskey, got drunk like this, and they were like, 'Boom!' and then their glasses fell off and the lenses came out. So, I know what the um, I solved the mystery there. I should change my name to Detective Action Kid. As far as the uh, the owner of the

glasses. I don't know who it is, and now I'm talking about glasses. There's broken glass on the steps here. What? Come on. Oh my gosh, Joe Johannes Lowman. Thank you so much for five euro. Thank you for the interesting streams, and this is definitely an interesting park. What? Okay, what used to be here? I mean, I'm sure when this was new, it used to look very beautiful, but now it's just weathered away. Parts of it are falling off. There's pieces of stone on the ground here. I don't even know where this piece came from. Up there, baby. All right, let's get out of here. Safety hazard for this park. Deborah Thompson, thank you so much for 10 bucks. Appreciate it very much. So, uh, look at this too. There's like two different shades of paint here. Was this the original color? And then, my gosh, this is the Walter Gladwin Field Park. Thank you, Volkpon37, for BGN5. Your videos are really great. Helps us through dark nights. Greetings from a

Finnish guy living in Sofia. Thank you so much. This structure doesn't look half bad, to be honest. I'm gonna cross the street before I turn the camera around. It looks like such a busy intersection. Look at this, this is crazy. Third Avenue and Tremont Avenue intersection. There's a bike lane here too. Native to all, thank you so much for 4.99. I don't know, I think it'll be a little bit intimidating for a bicycle to ride on this block. This is so confusing. This car is turning left, going right, straight. [Music] Oh my gosh, oh, oh, that car just got the beep even though they're supposed to let them through. Wow, oh my gosh, such a terrible intersection, terrible park next to a terrible intersection. I think they go hand in hand. Stefan, sing the L. Used to be on the street, Third Avenue elevated. Yes, the old New York City subway. Here's Bathgate Avenue. Railfan 89, you've ridden on the bike lane on Tremont Avenue many times. It's intimidating sharing the

road with the vehicles. Yeah, I can see, and it's not easy either because if you look at the geography, Tremont Avenue is not flat. It actually goes up, and just for me walking in the park and going down those stairs, you know that there's a lot of hills here. So, even just that, riding on a bicycle, it takes longer to start and stop. [Music] Correcting me is typography, not geography. Pringle One saying East Tremont Avenue goes a long way to Pelham Bay and Westchester Square. I actually did a video of that going from Westchester Square, walking along East Tremont Avenue, all the way to Throgs Neck. USC saying I'm walking towards the Crane Concourse where this should be the Grand Concourse. Here's Washington Avenue. Email, you're right, there's a lot of hills in the Bronx, but it's the only borough in New York City attached to the mainland. Every other borough is an island. Now we can cross. Now, hey, what's up, Don Age? Thank you so much for 10 New Zealand.

bucks [Music] even the cops here. I said hi to me, that crazy existing lady is here. What's up, glad to you, glad for you to be joining me on this walk through the Bronx on East Tremont Avenue. Now, I think once I cross over the Grand Concourse, it becomes West Tremont Avenue. I think Grand Concourse is the dividing line between East and West in the Bronx. Here's Park Avenue. Park Avenue, you can find the Tremont Station. Metro North runs along here. This goes right to Grand Central Terminal if you take it all the way to the last stop. [Music] All right, Maddie on the mix, five bucks. It looks neglected but relatively clean for what it is. You typed before, but you saw before, you saw that bit of trash, but still [Applause]. There's the Metro North. Whoa, I almost missed that. Oh, Emile, it's not the Grand Concourse, it's Jerome Maverick that separates East and West. Thank you for clarifying that. And to be honest, I even think Jerome

avenue is a little bit too far west for it to be considered a dividing line because why is west tremont avenue so much in the west part of the Bronx. It should be more in the middle. They should have made the dividing line like, I don't know, where I was like white plains road. That seems like the middle of the Bronx. Oh, motomoto. Jerome Avenue is considered a continuation of Fifth Avenue, and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is considered the dividing line between west and east. So that makes sense then, but it doesn't make sense on a borough scale. There's so much traffic here. OMG, Frederick Bianco, thank you so much for three bucks. Happy Friday. Thank you. Wow, this is a confusing intersection here. Look at that. And there's even a sign there that says left east tremont avenue and to the right east burnside avenue. [Music] Kevin, your block is 186 and Webster and John PS30 saying the Bronx is a confusing intersection. Well, not every intersection.

is like this, but it's true that a lot of the streets in the Bronx are so confusing because a lot of them, they go on angles and crooked turns like this. So strange. Peter's asking if I've ever walked the Bronx Botanical Gardens. I have. That's right north of the Bronx Zoo. Hey, what's up? Hey, yep, not easy to walk the street, by the way. There's a hill here. There isn't even a label for this street. Anna-Lysa, thank you for the five Canadian tax man 81, saying not much bicycle or shooter scooter traffic compared to the other areas. Okay, yeah, I don't see why there'd be so much scooters and bikes here. It's not that great of a ride compared to all this traffic. Little people saying there's a nice church in front of me. I was gonna turn the camera up here. Beautiful church. I'm gonna go behind this car. And here's another park across the street. I think this is Valentine Park. Lead Belly, thank you so much for 3.99.

pounds here is the Tremont Baptist Church. All are welcome. Regulate for two bucks. Shout out from Detroit, Michigan. Another YouTuber who does live streams from Detroit, Michigan, and other areas. Wow, look at the construction on this church. There's so much stone on this porn savior. Thank you so much for 4.99. I want to see how small and small I am compared to the size of this church. I'm going to turn the camera around. Let's see here. Wow, I'm not. I'm like a pipsqueak compared to this church. [Music] John A. and Petey with five bucks. Just be glad that I'm not at the world's busiest intersection, Tokyo Shibuya Crossing. And Reg Life with two bucks. Thank you so much for the shout out. You appreciate me. Thank you, my man. You're doing good work out there as well. [Music] All right, well, there's a pothole in the Bronx. You can even grow a tree in here.

But let's report this pothole reg life with two bucks. You made my day. Oh, thank you, man. Man, anytime. All right, so this is uh 311 East Tremont Avenue. All right uh [Music] request. All right, so now it's submitted. Now this city can fix that pothole. What do we got here and Dave is saying has a good photo. [Music] uh okay I should go back and report that part. I think I should and Alexandria McQuay. Thank you so much for the five pounds and Ryan De Silva with 10 bucks. Thank you. Wow, this looks like a different part of the Bronx to me, huh? Major plays with two bucks. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. All right, I think I'm going to end this live stream here because I want to start up a new one.
