In Part 1, The tour moves across each avenue, from Lexington, to Park Avenue, Madison Avenue, 5th Avenue, etc.
In Part 2, you will travel to Times Square. Back then, it was a bit seedy, coming off the near bankruptcy of NYC in the late 1970's.
You will see store fronts and marquises that were NOT very family friendly. All that changed in the 1990's during a period of revitalization.
You will see hints of Broadway and you'll even get a performance from what appears to be a very happy New Yorker. Performance indeed!
Later, you will see the New York Library, then Grand Central Station, the you travel down to Wall Street to see the iconic Trinity Church.

I was 15 in 1987 and looking at this video, I cannot believe my mother allowed me to take the bus from the rural North Fork of Long Island to go into NYC by myself to attend soap opera fan club meetings!!!!

In 1987 I was driving a city bus through Broadway and Times Square. Promoted 4 years later. Retired 16 months ago.

This was closer to 9/11 than 9/11 is to today. Wow, how time flies by.

Nobody on a phone, Amazing!!!

Anybody else notices this: "It is the year 2019. "The Running Man" is a deadly game no one has ever survived." ?

It may seem insignificant and trivial to video tape a scene of everyday life, but it's really a treasure when you look back at all the nostalgia within it, the cars, the fashion, and the music.
-
Between 1985 - 1997 was peak city life.
-
This is when New York looked like the Ghostbusters could come around the corner at any time.😂
-
Nothing better than being 20 years old in New York city in the 80's!
-
Most of us are nostalgic for the ‘80s and ‘90s and I can see why!

I’ve been all over the world: London, Tokyo, Paris, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, but man, the only place that makes me want to live is New York. The vibe, the energy, the fast paced life, the lights, the modern and old architecture mixed into one, the diversity, the huge buildings. This place is massive. Americans should be proud to have a city like New York. It’s not perfect, neither the most beautiful, but by far, the most fucking amazing city I have visited. Greetings from Greece.

City was so raw. Now it's like a big shopping mall for tourists

I was a 22 year old back then. Man those were good years '87/88

This Native New Yorker remembers this so well. NYC in the ‘70’s were scary,. The ‘80’s were such fun! Now Manhattan doesn’t seem like New York. Too commercialized. Great video. Thanks for posting. 🗽

I was 22 years old in '87, serving in the Navy. Now 54, 1987 truly feels like a lifetime ago.
-
There's nothing like that unmistakable nostalgic 1980's synth keyboard riff at 3:19. Man, kids.....these really were the good ol' days. I lived it....and I would give anything to go back.
-
I had my one visit in 1980 when I was 20. They say you can’t go back, but oh how I WISH I could! 🌹😢
-
Wow, those were the days! It`s kind of sad how time passes by so quickly.. 1987 feels like such a long time ago, but at the same time it almost feels like yesterday!
-
Came across this after watching video of my Lower East Side neighborhood after 20+ years. Left in 1996. Dad used to take me to the movies in T Square mid 80s. This meant the world to me, thanks Todd.

Woooow..i was 9 years old in 1987.Some of the best days, my childhood was absolutely fun. Growing up here in NYC (Brooklyn), I must say that Delmonté add revived an erased memory. The good ole days of NYC, shall never be forgotten!❤🍎
