Blue,Green and White are the colors of NYPD.
I was born in Astoria General. Lived on 24 St.n 40th Ave.Before I moved out to Long Island I lived on 28 St and Dimars Blvd.I walked all over Astoria .
Thank action dad and action kid. I live in manhattan but work in LIC. VERY INTERESTING
It was cool seeing the neighborhood & you're dad again,😎 It was also good that you have so many helping even though still in wheelchair. 😃Thank you for sharing, AK!!!😎👍
Police cars were black white too way before
Finally, after nearly 18 minutes, you choose the sidewalk instead of the busy street. Of course it's safer to be walking on the sidewalk instead of in the street. I would never do this, especially in the city and especially pushing a loved one in a wheelchair. And meanwhile, the irony is, you were regularly pointing out the dangerous transgressions of the drivers right around you.
Listen, love you, I'm subscribed and a contributor, but this is not a great example ActionKid. And dad. Take care.
Please tell me you are not sitting in that wc all the time! Get up and walk around straightening those knee tendons. Don’t let then contract on you.
Your Dad is so Cute 🥰…. I was raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the late 50's,60's,70's …. Like your Dad same time era( if I remember correctly from your last video) I like hearing him reminisce about the way things used to be in the 60s and 70s cuz I can certainly relate from living in Brooklyn which wasn't too different from Astoria because my uncles used to live in a story and we would go there Sunday dinners with my great big Italian family 💖 Take Care of your foot…. Don't wear your Dad out❣️
Your pops is cool, AK. He knows how to balance his own knowledge with asking you questions that help further the content and storylines. Very dope duo!
Still out there doin your thing kid!
One legged in a wheelchair and still doin it!!
Respect from Dayton Ohio brother.
Headed that way for Halloween and the marathon this year.
Best wishes and speedy recovery!
You have a great dad AK!☺️ Hope your recovery is speedy 🎉
The one good thing about AK having his accident in Toronto it was close enough to NYC where dad could pick him up . And also near NYC where his You Tube friends could assist him ! Think some similar event happening in SE Asia .
Really grateful for you (and your Dad) for taking some disabled person walk-about around NYC. Never easy to get around with a wheelchair or a walker, though things are getting better. If you return to Miami, would love to see you check out disabled access options especially in places like South Beach as many tourists enjoy that part of Miami Beach.
Show us more about your neighbourhood while you're recovering. It's nice hear what your dad has to say too. Thank you.
お大事に!
Your dad is incredibly cute and wise.
I agree with others who have commented and recommend an electric wheelchair.
May you heal well.
LIP CHAAPED
Hopefully, the redesign will be much safer, and people will eventually adapt to these changes.16:36 It's neat to see the temporary lines showing the new traffic design and the newly resurfaced streets. 23:52 Heartwarming! ❤ It was nice see you and your dad enjoyed some bonding time and for him to push you around the neighborhood while wearing fashionable boots! 😎 Thank you for sharing this tour along with your dad, AK! 🤗
Hi AK, you and your dad are really getting good at this! Loved it😍
Best Vater ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Woke transplants destroyed a great neighborhood ..
Your dad is strong🎉whereas your young friends tire out , your dad keeps going!😊
Saw you in July, I yelled out Action Kid!
You were with Barr and your crew lower East Side around the corner from Katz's. Thanks for stopping and shaking hands. I appreciate it and appreciate your channel. Hope you're on the mend and walking soon!
Love seeing you and your Dad in this vid. Great bonding moments here.
Bless your dad for helping you and going up those hills , he’s amazing for his age ❤❤❤
Wonderful walk around Astoria AK! Loved having your Dad accompany you & hearing his commentary about the neighborhood. I agree with you, there are things in NYC that definitely need improvement, but NYC is a fabulous, exciting city! 🥰 Thanks for all you do AK!🧡
Astoria is probably gonna become the new Williamsburg. It's prime real estate, still hasnt seen the effects of "gentrification", it's safe, quiet, charming. It's got everything you'd want living in NYC, including the epic view of Manhattan…. Wish I could afford it!
This part of the neighborhood is nice.
🚩🚩No matter what the comments say. It’s father son time you can never get back. Some people still wish their dads where around 😢
I’d rent an electric wheelchair too – even for a few days!
Do a video using the subway in a wheelchair, obviously stick to accessable stations
Your Dad Rocks 👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆😃
You should show us how to use the NYC subway in a wheelchair, it would be interesting!
I would like to see the area of where the DeNiro studios/Development will be. I am already familiar with the area of Kaufman Museum and studio area. I heard that they want to make all of this the "Little Hollywood of the East "
I like your dad, true old school new yorker, awesome video
Count your blessings, dad sounds like a real great pops to have, love it.
