Whenever I have a friend visiting NYC and they ask for a place to visit that is "off the beaten path" I send them to Inwood Hill Park and The Cloisters. Bonus: If you visit The Cloisters your pass will also get you into The MET. I think the pass is good for more than one day too, so you can visit the Met the day before or after if you don't want to do 2 museums in 1 day.

Being able to tour the New York metropolitan area and learn from your wealth of historical knowledge, all from the cozy comfort of our own home, is PRICELESS. It's like BEING there. Wonderful videos. Your Latinamerican videos are amazing, as well. Thank you so much, Tomás. 🏆

Live here all my life, in Inwood...Kareem Abdul Jabbar aka Lew Alcindor of the LA Lakers, grew up in the Dyckman Projects and played in the basketball courts there; Tubby Hook was another name for the Inwood Section of Upper Manhattan; Yes, plenty of Irish Bars once graced the streets; there are just a few remaining; Heather Gardens at Margaret Corbin Circle which leads to the Cloisters has a sign reading " Let no one say and say to your shame That all was beauty here until you came". Very much apropos. Dyckman Street west of Broadway towards the river has interesting dining spots , whereas, east of Broadway has a less appetizing flavor, so to speak. The Inwood area has the least expensive apartments for rent or purchase in all of Manhattan. Thanks for the video and keep up your labor of love.

Tom - Unfortunately you missed some of the key elements of life in Inwood during the past half century. First Inwood was for many, many decades a hard-core Irish neighborhood. In the 1980s the area was chock full of Irish illegal aliens, many of whom were involved with the terrorist Irish Republican Army. That of course brought lots of FBI agents keeping eyes on their comings and goings around the clock! Now on a much lighter note, you also missed mentioning NYC's best immature giggle-inducing spot: the corner of Seaman Avenue and Cumming Street! Yes that's an absolutely real place just north of the Dykman farmhouse.

16:25 - This isn't true. Inwood in the 1970 census was 91% white and 7 % black. It was also 95% renter. From 1970-1980 the Hispanic population went from 2% to 50.4% squeezing out both white and black residents. People in apartments move - often. In NYC it's every 3.5 years on average. When new groups come in the old groups have to make room for them. How else would it work?
