Jason Nicholas walks through St. Patrick's Cathedral and Midtown Manhattan on a rainy day, admiring the Gothic architecture and nearby landmarks like Rockefeller Center and Grand Central Terminal. He shares personal moments, points out hidden passageways, and invites viewers to his channel where he teaches how to draw buildings.
How you guys doing? Everything's awesome here, but, um, just want to show you something here. All right, let's take a look. Pretty amazing, right? So you got a bit of St. Patrick's Cathedral happening here. I feel like every time I come to the city, and especially around this area, I have to pass by here, even if it's just to look for a minute or two. Um, I don't have any words. I don't have any words. I love, love, love this building so much. So here, I'm gonna stop here. You can take a closer look at it. This is a small section of it. Um, around the corner you can actually see Atlas down there, the statue. Boom! That's where the main entrance to church is. I'll walk around, you guys can see that as well. So let's walk down that way. Camera will be shaky, I don't have a gimbal with me. Yeah, we're actually just going to cross here. I love a rainy day like this in New York City. It's not too crowded out, it's not raining too hard. It's kind of refreshing. We'll stop here for a sec, take a picture. Got some nice flowers happening there. And if we pan up, you can see the top of the spire, um, looking at Rockefeller Center across the street here. I'm about to head to my favorite donut shop. So I snuck out of Grand Central, uh, actually I found a passageway that led out to where I needed to get, and I was surprised, and just exploring around a little bit. So yeah, so here we'll kind of pan around here, you can see it from a different angle. It's pretty spectacular. Um, love, love, love this. I'll take some pictures before I leave. So again, this is St. Patrick's Cathedral here in New York City. One of my— it's probably my top, the top 3 favorite buildings of mine here for sure. And if you look across the way, got Rock Center and the Atlas statue in the background. Cool. All right guys, move down a little bit. We'll get some more. I'll get a picture from down this angle. I'll show you Atlas from across the street right over here. It's a good spot. Really cool, right? Hey, Larissa, hello, good to see you. Yeah, bro, it is awesome. I am so privileged and honored to be here for sure. Here's another look at St. Patrick's. There's kind of the main entryway here. You see some of the amazing details. We'll walk to the end of the block, show you from the other corner as well, so stick with me. Again, I don't have a gimbal, so my camera is going to be shaky, so enjoy the bounciness of the city. Just imagine we're capturing the electric energy. So when I walk along these streets, oh my God, I just came from a really quiet train terminal, um, for the LIRR, which is connected to Grand Central, main concourse, into this amazing area. Um, this is busy here. This is tourist mecca, especially around the holidays. This is nothing compared to Christmas time. Rock Center across from us, uh, Lego store, which there's a line to get into. And then again, here's St. Patrick's I'm gonna go further away so you can see it better. So just bear with me as I walk here. I gotta watch where I'm walking because I don't want to trip on any vendor stuff like I did in Barcelona. So you're watching my Barcelona livestream. I had a little, uh, little spill, we'll say. I'm gonna cross here and you can see it from the other corner. I will do a spin move here and you guys can see it. Down there is Radio City, but, um, here's the opposite corner if you want to check that out. Screenshot! I need to go back and watch my videos and take some screenshots. But I don't know, maybe, uh, I hope you guys are getting a sense of the vibe and why I love this city so, so much. Um, from a design point of view, from an architectural point of view, it's nonstop eye candy no matter where you look. I mean, we have this incredible cathedral across the street, we have the Rock Center, buildings. I mean, this barely scratches the surface. All right guys, we'll go down here to this end.
