I'm going to NYC for 2 weeks. It will be a solo trip, my first solo trip btw. And your videos helped me to plan my trip. So thank you.
The only way I’ve ever been, and it’s a blast.
Just remember to be aware of you’re surroundings and cautious and you will have a great time. NYC is a fast paced city with an uptick in crime and crime happens anywhere even in areas like soho, but as long as you’re aware of your surroundings and cautious you’ll be fine. Enjoy 😊
how was it
Any update on your trip? Did you go already?
Soho is an amazing neighborhood. I’m still surprised to see so many of my friends think of Soho as only high-end shopping place and expensive bars. It has great architecture, history, and a great place to walk around during the day.
John, thank you so much for recognizing the FDNY Museum. Although my Dad was not an FDNY member, he was a volunteer firefighter in our community for many years. This meant a lot to him! Thanks again
Very welcome
Firefighters/cops/law enforcement/first responders ---- America's HEROES!!!!!!!!
It looks amazing and yes thanks for adding. Wil. Definitely check it out when I am there!
Absolutely. It's all fun and games until the curtains catch on fire and someone starts squirting blood! Blessings.
I had an apartment on Houston Street when I was going to the High School of Art and Design in late 70s. Soho was artist lofts, bodegas, bars, murals and graffiti. It was a wonderful place to live. I can't imagine being able to afford it now.
'I can't imagine being able to afford it now.' You can't unless you are making serious money.
Soho was the place to hangout back in my high school days, changed a lot since but still fun to visit
oh i bet
After 4 trips to nyc in the past 4 years we have yet to make it to soho maybe next trip. You name it We have done it lol. We ate and visited about 80% of your choices and follow your videos all year long and take notes of places to eat and visit. We already have a list of our top choices that are repeats. We find ourselves in the village a lot to eat! So many choices for great deals. Fun fact the wife and I were married 9/11 which some say sucks but we use it as not only an anniversary but a day to remember the fallen.
You will never run out of things to do in NYC Jon ! I have to visit Soho next time I'm in New York.
NYC has everything ! Can't get bored. Thanks Jon for the videos. They are Great !
My favorite shop in Soho is Anna Sui. The interior design is so cool.
Jon The FDNY Museum is one of my favorite museums in Manhattan. I use to go there after visiting my brother at his work place . SOHO is a decent neighborhood to walk thru. I walked thru it by going up Ave of America's ( 6 Ave ) all the way up to Times Square area. Sometimes to 34 street to MSG for the Rangers. Also walked Across SOHO into Little Italy into Chinatown to get to Grand Street for the B train to get me home to Sheepshead Bay .
We visit Dominic Ansel most mornings when we are in nyc. Best hot chocolate ever
There was this art space in Soho called The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. It lived at 594 Broadway from 2003 - 2012, and focused mostly on comic books, comic strips and other forms of cartoon art. One of my favorite memories as a volunteer there was helping promote the Saturday Morning Cartoons exhibit that came with an actual Smurf village set. My part in the promotion was "befriending" a Smurf character which gave me a whole new perspective on character performers of that kind.
The fire museum was the best part.
MY FAVORITE PLACE TO VISIT IN NYC. AND PEOPLE WATCHING IS AWESOME TOO!!!!
Be there Monday! Thanks Barr!
I always look forward to you informative ,fun ,and entertaining videos!
Would like to revist NYC again and try out those restaurants. Last time we went was March 2020, and now things look more re-opened.
Just booked our trip to NYC! So excited 😃 Love your content
Vincent Gigante, head of the Genovese mafia family in the '70s-'80s used to walk the streets of Soho in a bathrobe and slippers acting very weird (to throw off the cops). He was called the "Oddfather".
I love walking around Soho! The cobblestone streets are so charming. Really might go get one of those cronuts like.. right now lol. 😍
i prefer the cookie shot, unless you're into floral flavors for this months cronut!
Thanks for the information as always. Thanks I learned about new places in NYC. Always something new there. The best city
Great shots on this video, the cinematography is elevated, nicely done! The places you chose are very interesting to see.
I love that Keep Calm and Cronut On sign at the bakery shop. Nice play on words! Those cookie shots sound so good! I want to try those someday!
I see a Here Be Barr video. I click on Here Be Barr video. Thanks for the awesome content, it’s going to come in so handy for my trip to New York in 2 weeks!
Great vid, probably the best about SOHO on YT.
I love how informative the video is!!! NYC is rich in history and not just a place where trends that come and go
I'm definitely moving to NYC next year I can't wait.
Loved this video. Keep up the great work. Definitely going to SoHo.
Background music always on point 👌
Thank you for this. Always well done.
What a great video. Soon I'll be moving to NYC with my husband and let me tell you this channel is making things much easier haha. Great job!
Keep them coming. I'm going to new york this December hopefully. Your videos have brought great value to people who gave traveled or will be traveling to New york!
I went to BITE in SoHo on Price Street, they make custom made lipstick, Clarins discontinued my shade, I brought a sample and they recreated it perfectly, that is a bougie thing to do
Always nice videos!! Thank you very much ! Greetings from France!
Great video! SoHo looks like fun!!
Amazing video. Amazing food, just exceptional.
I just used khonsu to plan my trip here on the 22nd and used your code and I’m excited 😊
I thought Pearl River Mart in SoHo closed! So glad to see it's still open; it was one of my favorite places to stop. Couldn't ever afford to eat in the restaurants in that area back when I lived in NYC, but these are good tips if I ever make it back nowadays.
I wish I saw this before I went to Soho today!! I might have to go back to see the museums!
What an excellent video (again). Your guides are superb and of course you have to include some food items within it. It wouldn't be a Here Be Barr video without this. I have always liked SoHo and always visit. I will be next year to when we return although I have made note of some of these places mentioned in this video. Great work again.
I too hope for another visit in 2023. I visited Soho on my first trip in 2018, but was with family and there was an itinerary to follow. The City was also heaving and it became tiring just fighting through the crowds of fellow tourists.
Another quality, helpful video Jon! Eastside video…SOHO…I highly recommend you, this channel and it’s easy to know why. Thank you!
Thanks Jim
Hey Jon, just got back from NYC. 12 Chairs was great. The Arayes was %100. Thanks.
I worked on West Broadway at a jewelry shop around 2009-11. WB has a very different vibe that Broadway, kind of a European type street scene. Ansel Bakery had not yet opened, it was another café we used to go to for lunch and I recall being gutted that they had closed. Great nabe for a summer stroll!
Soho really changed I lived in the village back in tbe 90s. I would walk down to Soho quite often. It was not built up as now -largely Italian. Area became gentrified as many other areas in NY. It was more mom and pop stores. Old style apt buildings and parks. It became a big shopping area. Yes fire museum So I guess depending if you like this kind of set up you will really like it. If you don't like this type of thing will not. There were many loft apartments back in the 90s but due to change in NYC laws many disappeared. Lots of galleries I would highly recommend to check out the older businesses. Interesting area Lastly I lived in 220 Sullivan bet Bleecker/West 3rd. Great video thumbs up. Heading to 300K subscribers. Check out Murray Hill lots of history.
Yes, huge changes. But a few relics remain.
I cant wait to go back home! I also seen the city got rid of Broadway streets near Times Square. I bet that sucks for all the people that used to take that route everyday.
Yes, my favorite part of the city!
I really enjoyed this video. I've been to SoHo, but never spent much time there. This gives me some ideas of a new neighborhood to explore with my camera once I relocate back to NYC.
There’s another 12 Chairs in Williamsburg, another neighborhood popular with tourists.
I love Pearl River! It used to be situated in a rabbit warren of a building, a fire hazard of the first order! I miss it!
Yes this was the first time I went to the new lcoation.
My sister had a loft on Mercer St. in the early 1970s. There used to be a pickle factory in the building and the basement still contained casks of pickles.
excellent video
great video
I'm enjoying this video... still watching.. Shhh! i'm watching this! it's good.
It was an honor to be a part of your Stream today I really want to do a Kalab with you someday and I really wish the best for you my man
I love soho, that bakery was on the news
Good afternoon and happy labor day weekend. Thank you for sharing. Will you be vlogging the west Indian day parade on Eastern Parkway?
I would like to go there. For the clothing, and that lamb burger. Cheers! ✌️
Hi Jon. Fancy doing a video on the best places to propose in NYC? I’m coming out to visit in December and I’ll be popping the question. So far I have 1VB at the top of my list. A video on some other great places would be great. Thanks - Chris.
I love Soho! Every time I gone to NYC, I go to the Nike Lab, the Coach store & Anzel bakery. I beed to check out the other places
I'm more a Converse store kinda guy. We cut that scene from the video.
@@HereBeBarr I will look for that store. Thanks!
If your heading to NYC or Bruuuklin for food spots review John's videos. You will not be disappointed. Excellent spots. Thank John!
Great title. Dang it, wish I would of known about that cheap store. And that burger bun looked delicious. Please try the burger at Raoul's, you'll love it, trust me
I was considering it haha but I had to go w a spot I knew well. I will try it though
Soho on next visit for me!! 😊😊🇹🇹🇹🇹
Love Soho
I’m not a tourist (born and live in nyc) but I love soho cus u can hit up all the stores u like in one block lol
Very nice video of soho! Can you do more vlogs in Staten Island?
Awesome to see my native portuguese flag in the video🇵🇹🇺🇸
Trying to decide whether or not to move to NYC in a few years...
do it!
@@fernkitty do you live there?
Surely have to try 12 chairs!
gracias
There used to be a store on Houston when my now late 30s daughters were teens called yellow rat bastard that they purchased something just to get a bag marked as such.
Another great video! Have you done a tribeca video yet?
I haven't actually.
12 Chairs is amazing! 🪑⭐️
The crownut sounds almost like køroner/Koroner (Danish krone/crown ). Too cool! Qujanaq (thank you in Kalaallisut Greenlandic inuit language (eskimo)
Might have to get a cookie shot or 7. Yeah….totally for my kids lol
1:28 definitely gotta try a cookie shot.
Please think about doing WestBeth one day. Would love to see it all again. KZhead is finally helping you support your family Your stuff is great and your numbers keep going up.
Next year I will finally visit New York. Nice to see that you are drinking German beer 🍺👍🏼
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Did you realize that the clip from the FDNY museum featured Scott Davidson, Pete Davidson’s dad?
Yes, very sad...
Not sure if you’ve done Arthur Street in the Bronx, but there considered quite authentic. I actually heard Italian spoken on the streets.
The Cronut comes in a new flavor every month and they never bring a flavor back, so once it's gone it's gone. Oh I wish only for that could I come to NYC every month haha
That explains it
Enjoy your videos extremely! Can you suggest a location where I could get a eye level view of one of NYC's water tanks for a picture?
would love to go New York city Just to see NYFD museum
Chef’s kiss. HBB plz leave Ben’s fashion sense alone.
Hahahha. I have a similar minimalist style, he just doesn't get on camera enough to fire back at me.
That was a very interesting tour. Thank you. The milk in that cookie thing how cool and inventive. So glad you said all people to comment will be sent one. I wish. Be well good luck with childbirth Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
🙏🏻
WOW there's a Portugal FLAG next to the Sulivan street board :) Why is that? I'm from Portugal :)
Hi! We’re coming to NY in May and we’d like to know if it’s safe to stay in Long Island City, Astoria… We travel with our nine-year-old daughter. Can you help us? Thanks a lot for all your advice 😉👌🏻
My god that Burger looked good John.
the dark side of soho is the craziest thing about living in soho
Sounds interesting! But why?
@@jaska8798 There is a video telling the history of the soho and how far it has came. Don't want to advertise content on another's page but the algorithm is what showed me this video so..lol
Rest in peace to Ben ❤
Can you do a video on Noho next. I don’t know what it’s like.
Can you do a kids friendly museum or attractions? Safety? There was some stuff you mentioned in other videos but it would be nice to have a video dedicated for a family that is bringing kids to see NYC. I am visiting there in November with my 4 yr old, we are tagging along my husband's business trip, during the day it will just be kiddo and me, I gotta look for some fun entertaining things for an energetic kiddo.
About to have a baby... i'm waiting for more personal expertise on this topic. Sarah Funk has done some videos on this!
Love ❤️
Wow. How did they get that Navajo blanket?
Coming to NYC next month after 2 years of waiting and just found out about the hotel facility fee… what’s up with that? Do you have to pay?
I live in soho and I saw my house in this video lol
My itinerary would be all things Italian. Even though I'm Irish. ☺️
#amazingbenthecameraman eating amazing food!
Man, the City looks empty and would have been a perfect time for me to visit again. I'm hoping for next year, though and hope the pound doesn't decline anymore against the dollar.
That Fire Department Museum was fascinating, something I would have loved being able to go to & learn about. Meal liked wonderful. Hope you are having a great weekend.
You too!
