00:00I'm with Jennifer O'Brien and Hereby Bar.
00:09We're having dinner right now in Chinatown at the Nam Wah, no this is a Taiwan bookshop
00:15house.
00:16We wanted to go to Nam Wah but all the reservations were full unfortunately.
00:20I haven't seen them in months but we're going to have dinner and then go do a walk.
00:25So we'll open this up and we'll show you the meal.
00:29So this is John's salt and pepper chicken over rice.
00:32Smells so good.
00:33Smells so good.
00:34That looks so good.
00:35We could share.
00:36We could all.
00:37Yeah, why not?
00:38Okay.
00:39And this is mine, the curry chicken.
00:42By the way, these containers are so hot.
00:44It's unbelievably hot.
00:45Is that the beef?
00:46Is that the beef of the pork?
00:47Beef stew.
00:48Beef stew over rice.
00:49And this is my curry chicken.
00:50Look at that.
00:51It's filled with curry.
00:52Oh man.
00:53Oh my god.
00:54Alright, I am ready to chow.
01:02Hey folks!
01:04Action Kid here.
01:05I'm with my friend John Barr and Jennifer O'Brien is holding the camera.
01:10You can check their YouTube videos out.
01:11They're very popular.
01:14It's right now, Friday, July 24th, 2020.
01:1779 degrees Fahrenheit.
01:19I think that's 24 Celsius.
01:21We're going to walk Mott Street today in Chinatown and see how much has changed.
01:26Yep.
01:27Let's do this.
01:28Let's do this.
01:29It's a nice night.
01:30It's a little humid, but I think we've got the perfect time because the sun is setting
01:35and I don't know if you're going to be able to see it much on camera, but absolutely beautiful.
01:39With the lights here, it's just gorgeous.
01:41I know.
01:42And you can see what they did here with Chinatown now.
01:45Now they have outdoor dining finally.
01:47It's so incredible.
01:49Yeah, you know, I feel like a lot of the restaurants in the city in the last few weeks
01:55specifically have finally said, okay, you know, we're not doing indoor dining maybe
01:59for a while.
02:00So let's do this outdoor thing.
02:01Same thing where I live in the village.
02:03I think an extra like 25, 30% of restaurants now have outdoor seating and it's everywhere
02:07and I love it.
02:08I know.
02:09And it was incredible because Chinatown didn't have outdoor dining for a long time.
02:15And now I guess they're finally putting it in.
02:17Yeah, I mean, it's the perfect location because when you think about it, there's not so many
02:23neighborhoods in New York City that have this kind of a concentration of restaurants.
02:27I mean, like every other place here is a restaurant.
02:30We're passing WoHop right now.
02:31Yeah, you can take a look at WoHop here.
02:33And they are just mobbed.
02:34There's so many people.
02:35This is such a cool spot.
02:36The city is disgusting.
02:37It's disgusting, this city.
02:40The city is disgusting when it's hot and humid.
02:45I know.
02:47So WoHop, if you go to the basement, when it's open after all this on a weekend, a lot
02:53of drunk people.
02:54It's a lot of fun.
02:56That is like a fun little scene.
02:58Go at three o'clock in the morning there, people are just banging on the tables, enjoying
03:01the food.
03:02One of my favorite experiences ever in Chinatown.
03:04I did once.
03:05Yeah, this is Moscow Street.
03:07They got the fried dumpling place in the middle here.
03:11And a great view of One World.
03:14Great sunset too, by the way.
03:15Oh, yes.
03:16Yeah.
03:17But back to what John said, WoHop is hopping right now.
03:21You were waiting to say that.
03:22You were waiting to say that.
03:24You said that off camera.
03:25Come on.
03:26All right.
03:27Fair enough.
03:28But it was good.
03:29I like it.
03:30Yeah.
03:31Maybe you can show a little bit of the front now of Moscow Street, yeah.
03:35Not a ton of people out right now here.
03:37There's a lot of people where the restaurants are, but the rest of Chinatown is pretty quiet.
03:41Yeah.
03:42I mean, it's usually not that busy at night anyway.
03:45Yeah.
03:46Chinatown kind of closes up early, around like 7.30.
03:49Stuff starts shutting down at that time.
03:53You know, you see the lights on here.
03:56It's so beautiful in a way.
03:59I know.
04:00Whoa, free food.
04:01Free food?
04:02Expires 2023.
04:03You want to take a look?
04:04Yeah.
04:05I mean, I don't need to.
04:06We got applesauce.
04:07You have.
04:08Don't touch things.
04:09I'm not touching.
04:10Just looking.
04:11This is beans.
04:13No, no.
04:14It says chili nachos.
04:15This is so funny.
04:16I know.
04:17But hey, it's good that the community is coming around to support each other now.
04:18I've seen more of this around.
04:19Free books.
04:20Free food.
04:21Like, free supplies.
04:22Even people who are moving out, they have free furniture.
04:23And I'm just saying this for my video.
04:24Like, we stumbled upon this free food box.
04:25I've actually not really seen this around the city.
04:26Maybe one other time.
04:27So, if somebody needs free food, they can come here.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Yeah.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Yeah.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Yeah.
04:47Yeah.
04:48So, if somebody needs chili or applesauce, it's waiting for them.
04:49Yeah.
04:50By the way, the New York City schools are still doing the free meals program.
04:51Yeah.
04:52Interesting.
04:53Between 11.30 and 1.30 in the afternoon.
04:54Well, 11.30 in the morning to 1.30 in the afternoon on weekdays, you can go into the New York City
04:55public schools that have this program and take food.
04:56So, it's a big help to people.
04:57For sure.
04:58Yeah.
04:59Yeah.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Yeah.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Yeah.
05:10For sure
05:14I like this angle of you guys walking
05:18Tell me if you like it I
05:20Mean, it's a little bit different with this video because you can actually see me
05:24Usually I'm holding the camera and you can't see me when I come, you know, meet me together. We're a dynamite team. Yeah
05:31We're auditioning for a new show. Oh my god, please
05:35Eurovision Eurovision
05:37There's
05:39A few restaurants. I'm down here as well. Yeah when we passed by here earlier this place was a lot more crowded
05:46You know the problem with a lot of the outdoor dining right now. We were talking about it at dinner
05:51It's the weather. Oh super sticky and it's been really rainy this summer as well
05:56So, you know, they're doing their best but there's just some nights where I think people are not gonna go out
06:00I know and what the weather being unpredictable as it is
06:03Sometimes I've done the storm comes in the middle of nowhere and you see everybody just rushing to get everything inside
06:11Whoo, and if you got like wooden furniture, yeah, you got to move it in
06:20China town right now. It's like so surreal now. It's closing up and you see all the activity now people
06:28but there's just there's just enough people out where I don't feel like
06:32Creeped out at all. There's people walking. It's just really quiet
06:39What do you get a title this video Chinatown
06:42Sunset walk. Yeah, we're John bar with John bar. I'd click on that
06:46I know we just had dinner at Dory Street, by the way, so this is good for all of us to get some
06:52Walking down to get rid of our calorie. Oh, I'm what I'm walking back to the village after this over a mile
06:57Which is nothing for New York City standards, but for my personal lazy standards, it could be a lot
07:06We may be getting dessert after this by the way, we have to see what's open. Yeah, I think we earned we earned dessert
07:11No, exactly
07:13Well, our backup plan was the Chinese Chinatown ice cream factory can't go wrong there. Yeah, no way
07:20You know, I wonder if the canal Street market is open. I went and it closes at 6
07:25Our clothes at 6. Yeah, it was right. It was right where my subway was and I was like, oh, I want to see if it's open
07:31It wasn't I
07:34Miss Joe's me too. They're so good. I love them so much my favorite Joe's steamed rice rolls. Hmm
07:42So this is what it's like vlogging somebody else's vlog
07:47Inception
07:56No
07:58This is canal and
08:01I've walked I think I've been to canal once or twice since everything happened today was the busiest. I've seen canal Street
08:07I actually saw traffic that looked kind of normal to me. Like I'm like, okay is traffic coming back to New York?
08:13I think it is. I think you're on a weekday. This will be backed up all the way to the Holland Tunnel
08:19Like isn't is this lighting not just like sunset lighting for us right here
08:24I think the rain clouds helped a lot. Yeah
08:35I'm gonna show that let's go to the corner of Little Italy. Okay, I think that'll be good
08:45It's only the next block over anyway, your viewers are gonna be very they're gonna be surprised to see me
08:50There was no it's John bar. I haven't seen him in months. Yeah, really we chat all the time, but I haven't seen you since March
08:56There's some new like beta thing on YouTube where it shows you
09:00What your audience is watching and number one was you your videos were the most commonly watched by my viewers?
09:07I got a look at this thing now. I don't know it went away, but I was like, yeah, I'm not surprised
09:12I'm not surprised at all. I watch your channel too funny. And I watch Jennifer's channel. Yeah
09:16All right, let's go
09:20Beautiful sky cheese. Yeah, you can't get more gorgeous than that
09:29I don't even know why I'm filming but I'm filming it's like Kenneth the movie star in action action kid in action exactly
09:40Yeah, most of the stuff is closed I don't know
09:44Yeah, most of the stuff is closed I don't know where we're gonna get dessert maybe a little Italy
09:49That's a lot of and everything
09:51It's up to you. Yeah, why not? We have Chinese food and then we have Italian dessert
09:57That works. So that's a New York City. That's a true New York City experience right there
10:02By the way, I want I wanted to say something to your audience if you don't mind
10:05So I was I was joking with Kenneth before I said
10:09Do you have a name for the audience because you're action kids at first I said would you call them like the action kids?
10:15But do you guys think that you should have a name?
10:17You know, I I sort of named my audience members of a bar. Yo, I use it sometimes
10:22Minor the generation J. Yeah. Yeah, what should what should you call?
10:27Action kids audience. Hmm. I just called them folks. Hey folks. Hey, folks. I
10:35Think you have a very distinctive audience. I think they deserve a good good name
10:38The action I the action. Yes
10:42About the action parents. He's a kid. I like that
10:53All the music oh, yeah, it's so cute
11:02Only I only come here for San Gennaro festival once
11:08I don't think it's enough. No way
11:14Williamsburg a big Italian festival any they didn't have it. Yeah, I
11:20Was here like two hours ago and it was
11:23Like a quarter full
11:25Little Italy listen to this
11:27Wasn't like this. I'm gonna I want to get a shot of this
11:31This was a live stream, I would start asking people like okay if we give $100 a super chat, he's gonna break-dance
11:42Can you break this I'd be impressed no way I get I can dance when I'm well up pretty well
11:47That's really funny. I did a rain dance at the end of one before
11:52It was hilarious
11:54Oh my god, I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm so excited
11:59It was hilarious
12:05I might get in trouble here with the music, but we'll find out look at all the people out here. This is incredible
12:16You know what I was wrong about little Italy, yeah, I was gonna say
12:19I'm gonna wait a little longer. We have wandered into little Italy and remember what I said about Mott Street
12:26They're pretty busy here, too. Yeah
12:29This is like
12:31This is impressive. I don't even know what to say. I mean, I'm not the biggest
12:37But there are plenty of opportunities to go out
12:40That's a very it's a very lively atmosphere. I
12:44mean at first when I came here around like
12:47630 is
12:49it was kind of like a
12:52Portafolio and not too many people out now. It's like a street party. Yeah, it's getting late into Friday evening
12:58That's what it is. Oh and they close these streets off here. Yeah a
13:02Little bit little Italy needs all the so my video my video has just like turned into from Chinatown to little Italy as well
13:11Look at this
13:21I
13:47Might
13:51This is a money shot
14:00I feel like I want to take on three on a date
14:05Yeah, I feel like I want to go to be on a date here right now
14:13You make it through videos now, I practically couldn't make a second video now, I'm just gonna do one
14:22I
14:25Didn't think
14:30I'm gonna echo with that guy behind me. Just said he did nothing beats a summer in New York
14:37Not right now anyway, not at this moment there are some moments. I don't want to be
14:44New Yorkers
14:48Look this is like insane amount of concentration of restaurants
15:04What increase the prices
15:10Things take over the old menu
15:14You guys can keep going
15:30So look I gotta take up they closed off like four blocks for this it's beautiful
15:39So what would you call this now it's not a photoshop anymore
15:42this is like
15:49Yes, I love that
15:53That's so fun
15:56Well if you go to Times Square now, maybe it's another vocalist
15:59I
16:09Supposed to drink some pretty good right now. Honestly. Oh look at this beautiful shot
16:13Look at that
16:23You know a Kenneth Kenneth said it, but it's went from
16:28Maybe a bit of a tourist trap here little Italy to a nice escape for locals
16:36I'm liking this
16:40We've got plenty
16:44I
16:57Think
17:03It's so beautiful by the way
17:13I
17:21Would say this is like a festival but just for the locals and just at your table your friends
17:30Yeah, it's not crowded it's like the right amount of people they are spaced out and you can just enjoy good company and good food
17:37Yeah, John, how would you compare this to like a cloud on a Friday night where you are in the village? Well, I'm married
17:47When I do occasionally crawl out of my apartment, I would say that this is more
17:56Busy but we don't have like four straight blocks this
18:01McDougal Street does have a really cool vibe
18:04But as far as like this setup like I have to give the little Italy people credit
18:07It really is beautiful. Like this may be the most beautiful stretch. I've seen so far out of all the outdoor dining
18:15Now there's a lot more but this is something else
18:25Yeah, I think they closed off a lot of the streets and it's gonna be like a gorgeous
18:33Odin
18:43It is fighting right now, right totally different from a little Italy, I don't know. Yeah
18:51That's so funny
19:04It's so busy, it's great
19:09And there's no traffic
19:13I love it. It really is
19:19I have to say
19:27This
19:31Yeah
19:34Species what is this? Where did this come from? I know all the cute decorations. Yes, like the little flowers
19:43I mean even in your video you said, um, there's New York City looking more like Europe now
19:49This feels very European to me
19:57Little Italy
20:03And welcome to Little Italy, this is the entrance
20:08And the Audrey Hepburn sign, I love this
20:15It's so beautiful
20:17I remember the time he was off Little Italy coming down here
20:19Like a year ago or a year and a half ago
20:23I think it might have just started
20:25I don't know
20:27I don't know
20:29I don't know
20:31I don't know
20:33I think it might have just started
20:35Not really sure
20:39I think it might have been for the festival
20:41Yeah
20:43Alright
20:45We're almost
20:47Right at the entrance
20:49So is there traffic allowed to come through?
20:51Yeah
20:53Theoretically
20:55So they could come from there
20:57They should close it off, I see no reason why that should be open
20:59Agreed
21:01So that's the end of the video here folks
