I guess the entry part to any attraction is about both luck and good planning. I was there on the fourth week of July '23, basically where the entire world has vacations for sure, and had no issues at all about entry lines for the edge, empire state, Rockefeller, natural history museum, MET, Brooklyn bridge was pleasantly walkable… We even got a free hotdog from Billy's since it was his very last and was leaving! Yes i did munch on John's and Sarah funk's videos 😅
I did see rats at the zoo in the tropical birds building. But wasn't shocked. It's a very warm building with food everywhere.
Thats one bad santa! nice video.
Great video not only for content, but pacing / editing.
Baarr 😃
Hey Johnny, in the colder months it's not too busy. In the warmer months it's packed. I'm talking about the Edge. I haven't been up there yet. I think people can be depressing sometimes and exaggerate stuff. I went to central park zoo when I was a kid. It was nice. Bronx Zoo is better lol 😆 🐿🦒🦥🐻🦭. That Christmas 🎄 attraction looks expensive 😅 and a tourist trap. Santa 🎅 was funny.
you should do a cheap eats for every major Manhattan neighborhood. flatiron is kinda hard!
is Santa Alan "The Homie"?🤔
Your videos are always a joy! I’ll be in NYC in January. I hope I run into you and your lovely wife! I’ve been watching your videos for years!
I like the Ryan Trahan style!
Nice Jon. But how come you didn’t bring Adrianana and your little girl with you to the last place? 😂
good job thanks for the info
Solid video as always🎅🍸😂
You should visit famous hotels to visit at 6 am
Jon, great video. Recommend shortening the reviews for the next video, the first set dragged on for about 5 minutes.
. . . Santa was the best! Thank you for a great holiday video!❤👍
This video had an extra bit of satire that I loved
I’m visiting NYC right now and was kinda hoping to see this guy haha, he’s help me a lot with my trip
Reviews are some times a way of people being mean and vengeful or just a way of being honest. Great video good insight
The bad reviews of Central Park Zoo are missing the point, it's a public park with a small zoo onsite, it's not supposed to be a world class zoo. For Chrissake, it only cost $15. If you want a super deluxe zoo experience, take a train ride up to the Bronx Zoo. Sheesh!
I wonder if some of the crowd complaints were given by people visiting in the summer. I expect you had a slightly different experience in the fall when schools are back in session and tourism isn't at it's peak.
The editing is awesome 🎯. Nice video
I loved this video! I laughed the whole time. Such a fun idea!
I went to The Edge this past summer on a Thursday afternoon, and had a great experience. Nice views, not very crowded, and had no issues with the staff. Great observation deck.

I'll never understand why you would wait in line/pay money to view NYC. You're better off just checking out the city by walking it.
Went to the Christmas village last Saturday after a ride on the Sea Glass carousel in Battery park ($6). We paid a $19 entrance fee. We got a cup of hot chocolate, which was good. But there is not much to the place. It was very small and dull IMO. The santa pics are $15 per pic but, they will use your phone to take several pics as well if you choose not the buy their pics. We didn't eat because I found the prices to be expensive for what we saw coming out of the kitchen. Hard pass. We went to Chinatown and had an amazing dinner at Wo Hop on Mott street for $42 and that included large portions, 2 large appetizers and a large complimentary pot of hot tea. All with amazing service. Win win. I wouldn't waste my time, pretty boring.
I'm the British guy at 8.25. Couldn't believe we bumped into Jon at the Zoo. Great video as always
I used to go to that zoo and we used to have great times in their
Buy the Go City pass. We had entry to the observation deck at Edge 1hr before general admission. There was no more than 30 people up by the time we left. We had no issues with photos or finding a toilet!
The Edge is very much very long lines to get in and out- thats bc you went in daytime. Nighttime is when everyone wants to do these observation decks. I still enjoyed it as a 1-time sorta thing😂
Great idea to check the reviews.
