Brooklyn Heights Promenade

 

We haven't checked in on one of comedian Tom Delgado's lighthearted and informative tours in a while, so let's see what he has to say about the history and beautiful vistas along Brooklyn Heights Promenade today.

Philadelphia In 5 Locations

 

Comedian Tom Delgado leaves New York City to tour 5 locations in Philadelphia for a quick history lesson with author and historian Paul Kahan.  It's your chance to see Philadelphia as it is -- burned out, people afraid to come out of their homes, total chaos! -- before Trump's ICE / National Guard forces descend to restore law and order while diverting attention from the Epstein- Trump files.  Amusing cut- ins from Delgado, as usual, with lots of interesting history, too.

Beginnings: Philadelphia, PA

 

Comedian Tom Delgado takes us on a timely tour of the cradle of our democracy, Philadelphia, PA.  Funny and informative, as usual.

Riverdale, The Bronx

 

Comedian Tom Delgado takes us on another of his amusing tours, this time to the Riverdale neighborhood of The Bronx, NY.  The area is home to some large mansions, parks, homes of famous people, and at least one disaster. Some surprising tidbits and his usual wry observations.

The "Bangladesh Bank Heist"

 

Comedian Tom Delgado tells the true story of the 2016 "Bangladesh Bank Heist" that left the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City a net $81 million lighter.  Today, it would be so much simpler:  just have a team of Muskrats from DOGE led by "Big Balls" barge into the building and let them do their magic (if they haven't already).  Funny, but sobering.

Forest Hills

 

Comedian Tom Delgado takes us on one of his amusing, informative tours -- this time he's in Forest Park, a neighborhood in Queens, New York.  A forest in Queens? With a 114- acre golf course?  Yes, we knew about the tennis stadium, but how does Jimi Hendrix fit in with that?  Better watch...

Asheville, North Carolina

 

Comedian Tom Delgado gets out of New York City -- to Asheville, NC, where he gives us a history tour, with his usual humor and insight, Mom Delgado on the camera.  Topics include the first indoor shopping arcade, the many well- known architects who put their stamp on the city, Thomas (not Tom!) Wolfe / Jimmie Rodgers / Gladys Knight and other artists who lived in Ashville, and more.  For many here in the East, Ashville is also known as a popular retirement destination because of its bustling art and culinary scene and its location in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains.

Your Brooklyn Navy Yard Tour!

 

Wait!  Stop!  Keep reading!  Comedian Tom Delgado takes us on one of his humorous tours of New York City, this time to the Brooklyn Navy Yard neighborhood for a little history and some laughs (spoiler alert:  don't expect any breathtaking vistas or great natural beauty!).

Everything You Never Knew About Flatbush, Brooklyn

 

Comedian Tom Delgado takes us on another hilarious tour of a New York City neighborhood, this time Flatbush, Brooklyn.  The early Dutch settlers, famous Erasmus High School, Prospect Park, various housing and building styles (including movie locations), the influence of the Caribbean and Haitian populations, and lots of interesting details and history in between. Interesting and fun.

Gramercy Park Fancy-Pants Tour

 

Comedian Tom Delgado takes us on an informative and lighthearted tour of Gramercy Park and its environs in Manhattan.  Gramercy Park is one of two private parks in New York City, and Tom gives us the lowdown on its history and some of the characters associated with it.
