[Music]
the best time in New York York City Saturday morning 7:00 a.m.
no one's awake streets are empty I can get up town in like 10 [Music]
minutes be free you're free go go Theo come on you ready you ready go fetch so Central
Park has all flea showers from 6:00 a.m. till 9:00 a.m. this what it's all [Music]
about so this has been my ritual for like 8 months now since school ended to come up
here every Saturday morning sometimes on Sunday morning and uh and just walk in the park first
first thing in the morning before anyone's here because it's surprising how empty the park gets
like there's no one here really when you're when you're here at Sunrise I think I felt a
little ashamed living in New York for a decade and never having really enjoyed all the city
has like Central Park is this beautiful Oasis and like how many New Yorkers actually come and
spend time in the park who don't live near the park think about that this part of the city is
so old and it's so historic and there's just a a special feeling about Central Park and I mean he's
obsessed God Theo a horse Theo is definitely afraid of horses Theo horse look oh my gosh a
horse what are you going to do we were saying this off camera but I I I'll be in New York City till
I die I've always been on the fence about you know how long will I stay in the city I think
everyone who lives in New York is always like how long you going to be here and I foresee being
here so I'm an old man New York is interesting because the architecture can inspire you like
the buildings can make you want to almost like stand on the shoulders of giants like the people
who built this city are the most prolific people in American history you ever think of that that's
crazy the house has become a home when I moved in here this place was a white box it was very Bland
didn't really have any anything that showed that I was living here so before you watch this apartment
tour I want you to click the link Down Below in the description and watch the apartment tour when
I first moved into space I don't even recognize myself let alone the space so I think it'd be kind
of cool to compare and contrast what my life is like now in the space is like now compared to 2
3 years ago like so much has changed starting the tour off with the entryway we're rolling
out the red carpet here making it a bit more cozy Theo loves to sit here and wait for us to return
from our errands out in the city I'll be totally honest I can't take credit for even half of the
decor in here the majority of it has come from my girlfriend Geraldine I actually painted this last
winter when I Was preparing for a piece during Conservatory this is oil on canvas this is the
blue man there's a few art pieces throughout the house that I've have painted overall the place
has just lived in this is the longest I've lived in a home continuously since I was like 8 years
old when my parents split up the entryway is pure function we've got the bench shoes off apartment
above this is my 7 foot board this is for those bigger days and I got these racks off of Amazon
here one of the biggest changes in the space is the artwork wall this has been a project in the
making this is it so far and I'm pretty happy with how it's come along some anel Adams work of course
we got Marilyn Monroe Graduate movie poster a young Clint Eastwood with his pistol drawn the
cast iron staircase and the artwall Have Become the focal points of the space one of my favorite
paintings of all time this isn't an original of course this is a reproduction of Ed Hoppers
Nighthawks this painting depicts New York City in one single frame to a tea the isolation one
can feel in the city surrounded by people is so beautifully encapsulated in this painting and I
just love this painting right off of the art wall this is the library we're living in a time where
people don't really read anymore and you can find out so much by just looking at someone's bookshelf
the book collection has grown substantially since you last seen my apartment and specifically it's
grown in rare and old books I've really really gotten into antique historical books such as
this one here this is an 1857 original copy of The Life and Times of George Washington this was
pretty expensive and it's falling apart there's actually an original draft of the Declaration
of Independence in this book here we are living in times where you can't believe everything you
read on the internet and one of the only ways to find the truth is to read it in old books so I
highly recommend if you're looking for a hobby old books I also have some sentimental things
above Love YouTube plaques right next to Marlon Brando in his wardrobe test for a street car Named
Desire I've never said this in a YouTube video but I moved to New York City to pursue theater
and interestingly enough it's only taken me 10 years to finally pursue what I actually moved to
the city for and I booked my first off Broadway play which is opening the first week of May this
year and there'll be a lot more information on that to come so off of the library this space is
now become Theo's buffet bar and his dining room where we even have his personalized Theodore Matt
and the sponsor of this video Sundays for dogs look what it is so Sundays for dogs is human
grade real food with ingredients that you can actually pronounce they're all listed on the
side of the box we have chicken apples Tomatoes shiak mushrooms broccoli like I would eat this if
I had to maybe off camera it's the start of the New Year this is actually my first video of the
new year and I have my health resolutions and Theo has his as well and that includes going to Central
Park at least Le twice a week to run and eating healthy and the brand was actually founded by a
vet because she couldn't find a dog food that was as nutritious as a home-cooked meal Sunday takes
care of that with no mess Theo is my boy he's my child Theo is much part of my family as my mom
my dad my brothers my sister so of course I'm going to give him the top quality food that he
deserves and that really supports his health and hopefully gives him a nice long life he's almost
four now which is crazy and to kick off the new year right you can get 50% off your first order
of Sundays by using my link down below in the description of this video big thanks to Sunday's
for introducing Theo to some healthy real food and for sponsoring this video and with that continuing
on with the tour above Theo's feeding station is my second board that I have I actually just got
this board this is a 76 kind of retro fun board I got it down in South Jersey I've only actually
taken it out once so far and these wall mounts we actually got off Amazon and this cool Polynesian
style because I like to have my boards actually serving as like kind of Art in the house all on
to the kitchen which has changed the most so when you live in a loft it's hard to really divide up
the spaces and recently got this Center Island and these cool retro bar stools added a level
of coziness to the kitchen and it really just acts as a nice divider we have postcards from
restaurants we've gone to in the city this is actually the first production I ever did this was
a stage reading called Wildfire at New York City Center the apartment's just a home now it was kind
of just like a blank space before now it actually has some character off of the kitchen we have the
dining room table which is way too big and never really gets used to be honest we only use this end
of the table typically this end is normally just like clutter and we end up putting a lot of things
on it right off of the dining room we've got the cenza this is a new addition we've got Paul Newman
and Robert Redford above in an antique vintage Butch Cassidy in the Sundance Kid movie poster
got the morance on top here studio lights I use these for filming self tapes sometimes making
YouTube videos more so self-tapes than YouTube videos these days this is the cologne wheel so
you know when you're heading out for the day you pick your favorite cologne give yourself a nice
sprits set for the day the majority of the time in the space is spent here in the living room and
it has changed a lot the last home tour I gave I had those two hideous white couches that were like
the typical influencer couch I threw those away I got these two nice deep dark brown chocolate
leather couches the fig tree has grown probably about 3 ft since you last saw it behind the the
Fig Tree we just got this orb from Ikea I'm a big fan of ambient lighting not so much overhead harsh
lighting I've always wanted a fireplace in a New York City apartment and this Loft does not have
one but Geraldine has made one out of these candles and these glass cylinders boom little
makeshift fireplace there right below the tv we have this past Year's Christmas card on the bench
more old books the only piece of old furniture I actually kept was this chair in the the corner
because this is Theo's favorite chair he loves to hide underneath it as much as he loves to sit
on top of it and this is the reading chair this thing is super comfortable above the comfy chair
we've got the matte black retro light with the snake plant which has grown its way out onto the
light which is pretty cool I love having plants in the space off of the living room we have the
bathroom and if you remember from the first video the bathroom is probably the worst part
about this apartment but recently we snagged this off of Amazon this is a tension rod shelf because
there was pretty much no storage space in here other than this old vanity this bathroom just
gets the job done that's really all there is to say about that then off of the living room behind
me here we have the bedroom and putting up this wall was the best thing that I could have ever
done in the space because it allows the light to come through the entire apartment and yet Shields
with the lower part here where we have the shrock it Shields the bed for some privacy not a ton of
privacy but enough enough recent additions to the bedroom this carpet so the general theme of
the updated apartment tour is making the space more comfortable and more lived in and more of
a home at the far end of the bedroom we have the home office we have my desk in the corner which
as messy as can be uh it gets a lot of use in my office I have various things hanging up I have my
degree from Northeastern I have my certificate from the conservatory I studied from over the
past 2 years studying theater then I have this still hanging up and I I want to take it down
but I have it up just because it is so it's an article in the Wall Street Journal about
YouTube luxury home tours and it's up and I keep it up because it is so far removed from
who I am today that guy walking around in the suits making YouTube videos obsessing over view
counts and the things that really don't have any meaning in life and it's a real Testament to the
evolution of a career nowadays I film homes if I like the architecture and if they're old
I love historical buildings like the Chateau I just filmed in in Normandy those are more the
types of homes I'll be filming in the future and if you want to see more videos like this one let
me know down below I actually read the comments on my videos so let's have a dialogue let me know
what you want to see on this channel and if this video gave you any value any entertainment I know
Theo has been sleeping throughout the entire tour and with that I will see you in the next video
