In this video, we spontaneously dive into the South Bronx, a neighborhood full of edge, contrast, and surprise.
In regards to the South Bronx, I researched the most dangerous neighborhoods in NYC by homicides. Mott Haven has some of the highest homicide rates so that's why I chose it. But as a non-local, it's hard to know what exact place is the most dangerous. Overall my goal was to show a human side to a place that outsiders might perceive negatively. I've done these "most dangerous hood" videos in Karachi, Pakistan, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and have ended up with the same results: cool interaction and warm people. Actually, it's in these neighborhoods where it's easier to connect with people than the wealthier places. Despite the problems in the South Bronx, there is a lot of soul and warmth. I enjoyed my time there, met great people, and I took in the vibrant culture pulsating through the streets. Fricking amazing food there too!

My goal in this video was to show a specific angle of New York City. But NYC has so many different sides! Whether that be the South Bronx, Jackson Heights, the Hasidic Jewish world, an old school NYC local in Manhattan, etc. If you liked this and want to see completely different stories in the same city check out my full New York City Playlist here:    • NEW YORK 🇺🇸

  • The key to being safe in any neighborhood is to be respectful and mind your own business.
  • @Currygoatpapi
    When your a kid growing up in The Bronx is Fun. When u get older you realize certain things u seen & Experienced ain’t really Normal
  • @BoninBrighton
    We stayed in the area in an Airbnb not knowing much, and we’re obviously VERY English and retired. The locals looked after us a lot giving us advice etc and showing us where to shop and stuff. They helped me get a local SIM fitted to my phone and how to do the subway. We also each day reported in on where we’d been, what had happened etc 😅Tbh we liked it more than travelling up to Manhattan.

    Born and raised in my beloved Bronx, I thank you for this coverage. I grew up in the 80's when times were definitely different. Hip Hop, Freestyle, baseball, and pizza were my world. Good times and a carefree life back then. ❤
  • Like any other "bad areas" if you dont get involve in late night club/bar shit..or with the drugs and mind your own..your risk of actually getting into trouble is like low as fuck. Most folks just want to live in peace
  • There's a big difference walking around that area during the day vs at night. I volunteer in the South Bronx, and the feel is very different when the sun goes down.
  • @katoota22
    I’m a born and raised New Yorker ..yes they’re tough but I was broke down in south Bronx ..and every person tried to help me out and they did get me help so my car was fixed so I don’t care what anyone says ..they’re good people ❤️
  • @jemstar85
    I love what you're doing with this channel! Just came from your WV episode (I went to HS in Wheeling). You are compassionate and appreciate the good without being a propagandist about these places. Super cool. Thank you :)
  • @mafiotzi
    Haha, that white lady was hilarious: "I mind my own business, I don't wanna know nobody's shit...1 sec later...Oh, what's he selling? Always somebody's selling something..." :D
  • @CraftyCuriosity
    I live in the Bronx and I’m glad you did this video. Keep the hipsters away so I can afford my rent in my safe neighborhood.
  • @brownbunny04
    I was in NYC last week for a conference. Everyone was nice but I have to say New Yorkers are straight forward and honest and take no bs. I admire them for it.
  • @hayleygerbil3109
    What an amazing video, so cool to see you speaking with all these different people. I love seeing normal people sharing their stories and interests. And that taco looked incredible. I'm from the UK and have only visited NY once, I'd love to go back, the people there are absolutely fantastic.
  • @odemata87
    Most dangerous neighborhood... The Financial District.
  • @youalie7940
    The only people that thinks thats the worst hood in NYC are people that DONT live there... Facts
  • @Bullydocuseries
    This was a great representation of the South Bronx. I really enjoyed watching you interact with the different cultures while focusing on the areas of Mott Haven, 149th Street & 3rd Ave which brought back a lot of memories. I was raised in the North Bronx area for 35 years and relocated to VA in 2008. The city of NY has definitely changed and the streets continue to be really busy with a number of activities going on. Thanks for making great raw documentaries, this has also become my favorite project to create as well, Peace and blessings!
  • @chuzzthefuzz1908
    You’re the perfect person to watch - you treat everyone with respect and good humour and they respond.
  • @JWJ1550
    "Most Dangerous Hood"...and literally every person he talks to is as nice as can be.
  • that woman said she minds her business yet knows everybody's business
