    This guy never fails to deliver. I'm not a big fan of modernism, but I really appreciate showcasing the variety of buildings in NYC. Thank you!
  • @jencorde
    AD- the people need more historical walking tours with Mr. Wyetzner, please & thank youuuu!
  • @EdDunkle
    If you haven't already done it, I'd love to see a history of NY industrial loft spaces. I remember seeing some amazing, hardscrabble spaces in Dumbo which I think were being squatted at. Now all the lofts are crazy expensive, but back in the 1970's and '80's you could get vast spaces for cheap.
  • @civlyzed
    I always enjoy watching Mr. Wyetzner's videos.
  • @dcoughla681
    This is fascinating. Please make it a series! I would love for Mr Wyetzner to do a tour of Art Deco buildings as this style is synonymous with New York.
  • @lauramiller3423
    I lived in New York for a time and have visited on many occasions and I feel like these architecture videos are opening my eyes to things I was always blind to or never took the time to appreciate. I absolutely love learning the history of the city in this way.

    "There are four chimneys, two of which are actually fake, place there just for symmetry's sake." BARS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
  • He's a great presenter and such interesting topics. Lovely to watch and learn more about New York
  • @user-hp1sr8jk3w
    I love the history of architecture. I hope you will provide more of this type of program on the channel. I would enjoy seeing other cities too.
  • @MariaVosa
    I'd love to see these kind of walking tours of other US cities as well!
  • @rhondahaydock946
    I’d love to see more of this! It’s so interesting! Thank you!
  • WoW AD! What a awesome Holiday gift to give us a walking tour with the great Mr. Wyetzner 😍 thank you!
  • @jgt2598
    That modernist architecture was so futuristic that a person born 8 DECADES later couldn't easily tell it wasn't contemporary. I hope someone today is designing something so futuristic that people in the 2100s think it was built in the 2090s. Also the 27 floor level 3 story penthouse is basically the answer to "what if a building was made entirely of trip hazards".
  • Architectural Digest really giving us special content not just about architectures but anything connected to it. 🥰🥰 We appreciate it so much. 💖💖
