3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD OVERVIEW OF THE ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS IN MANHATTAN, January 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: New York: First City of the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My copy of this video had a poor sound track. View Video needs to work on their quality control. That said, the video was a unique look at the Big Apple. While the major sights were shown- the emphasis was on some of the lesser-known sights. Like other videos in this series, the approach was educational and artsy, though somewhat less so than the European siblings of this series. It was a good look at the various cultural neighborhoods in Manhattan. For a rounded overview of NYC, also check out the conventional NYC videos available in most public libraries.

4.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!!!, October 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: New York: First City of the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have seen this video a couple of times now and it is just wonderful. Being from Australia I have always had a fascination with New York which is what tempted to watch this video in the first place. It is great!......I loved it!
