That was a beautiful moment, when he stared briefly at his mother’s window while smiling.

One thing for sure, this man misses his mom

Damn i loved watching this. Love hearing older people talk about their lives. Honestly I have very little need for TV anymore. This is my jam.

Dam that hit me when he said “I see my mom now” don’t take your parents for granted. Great video

My great grandfather came over from Italy to Ellis Island and he lived on the lower east side of Manhattan. He helped build many bridges and the Empire state building in NYC. Back then it was about family and working hard. Love watching these videos. Thank you

"You cannot erase good memories" I used to have lots of bad memories but now I make an effort and get out there and experience good things and now have good memories. Life became more beautiful when I stepped outside my bubble.

I find it amazing how New Yokers who are total strangers can just talk to one another as if they have known each other for a long time, like they were neighbors and treat each other with such hospitality. That's a perfect example of community and neighborly love. I find it awesome how involved New Yorkers, with the exceptions of others because not everyone is friendly, can just come together as one another. I find that amazing! You hardly see that these days. It blows me away. I love to see it. How sad that it's rare.

What a great look at the way things were. I love these old school Italian guys, rich looks so much like my Uncle Sam born in Sicily .

Italians man. The culture is wholesome and honest.

This guy RICH is a New York treasure. Many thanks for this show. It is your best show so far.

Good video...great that you didn't edit out all the blah blah between those neighborhood guys when they were talking about the mafia...very interesting

When he looked up at that window and smiled, I started crying. I lost my mom to covid in February and now I get to walk past my old apartment in the LES and picture my momma looking out our kitchen window, too. I miss her so much and I can tell Rich misses his mom dearly as well. Our mothers were something special.

That's how storytelling videos should be done, in the heart of the places with the right people. Good work man. Regards from Italy.

Stories like these need to be recorded and heard. I can sit and listen to stories like this all day.

I had the pleasure and privilege to live in Italy for 6 months. The experience forever changed me for the better as I got to see how life is supposed to be lived.

I could have watched you and Rich for hours. The young man with an Italian grandfather and the biracial gentleman really helped the video along. Thank you all for such a wonderful video.

God Bless the Italians!....👏🏻🥂👏🏻

I love talking to old people. So much wisdom and great stories

My Italian family was based in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn....it was magical to be there. Some of my fam moved to Bay Ridge and Gerritsen Beach...the block parties were the best. Every grandma took their comfiest chairs and blocked both sides of the street. We had music, beautiful food, face painting for the kids and lots of booze lol! There is nothing in the world like seeing the kids on their bikes all over the place, the men hosing down the block to clean up before and after the party. Brings tears to my eyes to know my family was so close. Now they have either died or moved to Florida. I miss being young, but I bring with me all of those memories to pass on. I am 50 miles upstate from NYC now, but I have my 4 sons my 4 grandkids and a wonderful life.❤️ God Bless🙏🏼
