Midtown - Manhattan Lyrics

Manhattan is the baddest city

AWESOME

“New York has embraced eating out.”
So have I... heh... heh.

It didn’t really describe it

Yeah. It's better. How stupid can this guy possibly get.

If when you think of Midtown Manhattan you think of traffic congestion and tourist traps, then it might be time to confirm the truth. Sure, This part of New York has seen a boom in new extravagant overrated restaurants and bars only for the very wealhty 1% of the population, especially from Brooklyn. Welcome to Midtown, where old New York and FILTHY OVERRATED REALITY is being joined

so it's the same as it was for most of its existence but more restaurants

I Love New York City.

At the very end I realized I was just watching an ad

why does this feel like a paid commercial?

Midtown is a smelly, pricey tourist & transplant trampled homeless encampment that New Yorkers avoid.

It should be swallowed up by that wh*re 'mother' nature

I really like the music at 0:38, anyone knows if there is a full track?

"It doesn't get any Ritz-ier than Fifth Ave." Any real NYER knows that Madison Avenue is where the real shop are. Fifth Ave is for tourist. Any the context of this video, Fifth is correct to be "expensive".

nyc a shitty london

Well duh! Lol

The millionaire are getting priced out by the billionaire

Forget the idea that midtown has nothing to offer?
What a fucking lie. Midtown is DEAD after 6pm. Midtown is a ghost town. It's a business district with a bunch of super-rich living in it--and super rich who don't live there for more than a month a year. There's no point in spending extensive time for a tourist in NYC. Bullshit. What a waste of time.

I miss the 42nd street of the 80s.

Is my math wrong or something. You could eat at 3 different restaurants a day x 365 days that's 1095 restaurants in a year. So couldn't it take you 40-45 years to eat at every restaurant in new york, not 125 years?

BANANA FISH

What are the soundtracks in this video?

Based on this video midtown is exactly what it is used to be. Restaurants come and go, the only difference is it gets pricier.

I'm not impressed.

Yes continue to go to Midtown. It’s amazing there. Don’t ever venture to Brooklyn or Queens - you’re liable to get mugged or worse for sure.

When I think of New York City the first thing I picture in my head are the Twin Towers.

I avoid midtown like a plague. 34th, FiDi and astor all day

Yeah in 10 years native New Yorker won’t be able to afford living in this city. Yeah I can’t wait to get the fuck out it’s getting out of control

NYC is boring these days; no young people, empty storefronts, chain stores everywhere. The rents are manipulated to be too high -- even in Brooklyn.

Wow, The comments here are even worse than the NYC itself. Maybe NYC is innocent, it is the greed and hatred of people make everything unbearable.

Sorry, midtown does not stretch all the way down to 14th St. No one living in Chelsea says, "I live in midtown." This seems like just an ad for some restaurants.

Boy isn’t that the truth. NY has become a product of gentrification

Gentrification sucks. All the people look the same, vote the same, act the same & all have that holier than thou attitude.

Terrible place to live

Im sick of Grand Central already.

I wish this video would cover also amazing new architecture rising up in Midtown - super-skinny skyscrapers. And also cover MoMA, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and other cultural attractions. They just made it about food :(

Where is the music from 1:12 from? ThenX / Chris Heria uses it..

So what has changed?

Terrible video Bars and Restaurants are closing everywhere in NYC and Retail. Brooklyn hip wall street money who comes up with this crap. People in other countries i guess

One of the changes is one that has - for all practical purposes - been forgotten. These are the neighborhoods of hardworking folks who used to live in Midtown: Chelsea, Lower West Side, Hells Kitchen, Kips Bay, Murray Hill, Turtle Bay to name a few. These were the middle/lower middle class who went to work; frequented neighborhood grocery stores, bars icecream parlors and the like. They were the backbone of the city who kept it running. Then came the UN Building and little by little gentrification encroached on these neighborhoods and their residents. The old adage, "Money talks and the poor walk." These people liked even loved their neighborhoods and the city NYC is losing her middle class and backbone to go with it. The end of an era.

McDonalds operates in many countries all over the world and that is not seen as a big deal. But a pizzeria from Brooklyn opening in Midtown Manhattan (only something like 6 kilometers as the crow flies)...that is a big deal.

Love NEW New York City ♥️

NY has become a rich persons paradise and they don't want the average Joe around. NY was dirty and dangerous OK but it had character but now it's full of kids from other states coming in and trying to act all street as if they are real New Yorker's. I live in Iceland and I can't tell you how many tourist I meet who say they are from New York with a Midwestern accent. Then when I say where were you born and raised they say something like Indiana so I say so your from Indiana and now live in NY. When people ask me where i'm from I tell them now I live in Iceland and was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island. Guess that does not sound cool enough.

Mid town Manhattan is from 34th to 59th street and not from 14th street.

Eating out is such a scam ...

U didn’t talk about the World Trade Center 😡

"Picture New York City and..." all I can think about is the grime on the streets, the sound of traffic, the cold wind, and the smell of food, haha. If I had a ton of money I'd much rather live in Singapore than New York.

That rent is nothing compared to Hong Kong

It’s better

I for one love Bloomberg videos lately! You guys have been making really enjoyable vids. Love the short clips and documentary style stuff. Thanks for the tip about The Mandarin, can't wait to visit The Aviary soon.

Looks overcrowded and conjested

This is what I have to look forward to when I become a billionaire? I pass.

I 🍁 NYC & Rochester, Buffalo, Albany, Finger Lakes District, Lake Placid, Long Island Ice Tea but definitely "NOT" Niagara Falls, New York! 🗽I have an Uncle who is a Doctor and practices in Manhattan.

Fucking hipsters go back to Portland you rent raising fucks

As a non local, I just consider the entire Manhattan downtown NYC

I hate living in big cities. It feels like entertainment are meant to expensive.

Thanks for confirminf i should never visit this insane shithole of a city

Why would you have a Brit tell us about New York? There are over 8 Million New Yorkers, you couldn't find a native?

Midtown starts at 34th st below that is Chelsea,the flatiron district and the meat packing district. This narrator needs to get his facts straight.

New York puts other cities to shame!!

LA>New york

I see from the comments that most people here still base everything they believe on silly old stereotypes. And the others are jealous they they can't afford to live there.

Caro Wells or NY is less enjoyable than what it was not that long ago.

Just try to listen to what people have to say, most of them are locals so they have a point

Wow midtown is trendy. Who would have thought

Bloomberg isn’t what it used to be.

What'd it used to be?

whats the fire background beat

Ritsier

All of these make me don’t want to go for a visit. Can’t afford.

Very Byam but you probably will be flocking business pays restaurant that are you guys now this is the pending you better be a while go baby go baby permitted can get one in the garage it’s on Goda

I was making the change the last jeans I change the moment me a kiss everything is a liberal now he got sick because it sends it nobody get tangled up in what yeah yeah stop it go by Rubi’s and I love everybody has it in his name down

All those people so close together like a bunch of sardines in a can fuck that

As a resident of a Washington, D.C. suburb, I found the area around my AirBnB rental in Astoria (near Broadway station on the N/W) rather interesting, as there was a car mechanic, a Chinese eatery, and a Rite Aid one right after the other. Even in areas outside Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, and LIC (Long Island City), you can walk to almost every amenity. I'm also surprised at how the locals tolerate 90+ decibels when a subway train thunders through an area (when the tracks are elevated). I did sleep through the night when I visited, but only because the N/W was a full block away.

And no, the elevated tracks should not be put underground. It adds a certain character to the neighborhoods that do have elevated tracks (even with the noise), and NYC should preserve that; otherwise, Chicago and Philadelphia will be the only American cities left with pre-WW2 elevated tracks in city neighborhoods.

Its trash and over hyped dont bother.

I think New York City needs Trump back.....

The city for Millionaires only

New York is a liberal City

0:46 Well fuck you too

Manhattan is wonderful and beautiful Tourists should enjoy it during Christmas. The atmosphere, The Gorgeous Window Displays Shows and Theatrical Plays.
Sadly at one time l lived on the City. Way too expensive now.
However the Bronx and City Island and Staten Island has loads of restaurants .Queens also.
Brooklyn downtown ,Bay Ridge. and Sheepshead Bay Great!

🎄🎅

Shut up stupid

Sorry what was the point of this video?

Had to double check to see if I was watching Bloomberg and not Buzzfeed. I expect more.

who fucking cares? i’m so sick of these fake informative videos that are just thinly veiled ads

Disgusting

Don't waste you time!!!!! Clickbait!!!!! Spam!!!!!!!

No thanks, ill stay in Cali.

I advise every corporation and museum to leave Manhattan asap. If there will be a first terrorist atom bomb, it will explode in Manhattan.
The current administration of Donald Trump makes such an event more likely than it has ever been. Insane people do not protect people, they provoke others into violence and hate. And the current Trump administration is deeply insane with the exception perhaps of Mattis and Pompeo.

YouTube, you are spying on my chrome search again...

So midtown has a couple new eateries. Great, but not the demographic or cultural shift I was hoping this video would explain.

The video title doesn’t match the content brother ..

This IS Gotham

So glad I don't live in NYC, who wants to pay ridiculous prices just to be overcrowded with trash people.

YouCanCallMeReTro The people are trash? Compared to who?

Fuck these white people took over Brooklyn 👆🏿

New York: A playground for the 1%!

More like for the 0.01%!

And the wanna be's, don't forget the wanna be's

Rich pepole disneyland:midtown
Rich pepole disney world the UAE

New Yorkers try to avoid midtown? Wtf are you talking about?

Midtown real estate is a bubble waiting to happen

Even as a tourist, I just don't see what's appealing about this place. I get that it's been hyped up for decades by Hollywood - and most people outside of the US would think NYC when the US pops up in their mind - but I can't see anything special about it.

Balaxane don’t worry about it.

It’s because of all of the blacks

Sometimes I look up, to try to spot Spider-Man

I'm right here amigo

Dirty Fighters

that’s the first thing I am going to do when I go to New York City
