Never stop making architecture content about NYC. I can't get enough!
-
Huge fan of this series and its presenter BUT, as a history/train buff, I can't help myself... the railroad that built Grand Central Terminal was the "New York Central Railroad" not the "Grand Central Railroad" 😎
-
I wish this channel would release videos more frequently!
-
The Helmsley Building was built as the headquarters of the New York Central Railroad. Grand Central was its terminal, not the name of the railroad.
-
I am thankful for Nick Potts in these video. He is so knowledgeable and well spoken.
-
Grumman had a full size mock up of the Lunar Module in the lobby of the Union Carbide Building prior to the landing on the Moon.

It’s a pity that a truly beautiful architectural jewel, the Union Carbide building, is razed simply because we’re unwilling to wait 5 minutes for an elevator. I’m as guilty as anyone—5 minutes feels like 5 hours when you’re waiting—but the loss of a truly beautiful space, and the wasted resources (levelling a skyscraper every 50 years is hardly ecologically sound) are tragic.

I used to be a messenger back in the 80's. when you made deliveries to these buildings, You were allowed inside and upstairs. I always in awe of the beauty of these buildings. Many were already dated at that time but you still felt they were grand buildings. 20 exchange was one of my favorites AIG on pine street. These buildings need tours.
-
I always enjoy great footage of New York
-
This is your best ‘walking Tour’ yet! Insights into real challenges and solutions of architecture vs. Focus on design alone is super interesting.
-
And again, you've answered a ton of questions I've had about buildings in NYC! Thank you! 👍
-
I worked in the Helmsley building for 5 years and I never felt the elevators were inefficient (the AC maybe, but not the elevators). The lobby was always beautiful to walk in and out of.
-
Having just visited NYC a couple of months ago, it is fascinating to recognise so many places in the video! Really enjoyed this one.
-
I do wish they’d also have a focus on making the buildings more beautiful with all the focus on efficiency they forget the importance of ornamental design on buildings.
-
Remote is 100% efficient. No time wasted in commuting, no waiting at the elevator, no need for office space.
-
We need more of Nick. More!
-
Focusing on how beautiful historic landmark buildings don’t “perform” as well as bland modern office buildings is as American as it gets.
-
LOVE these vids!
-
I LOVE the walking tour videos!
-
More of these types of videos please! Love this!
