I saw it on Instagram all the time, when I found out it wasn’t far from NYC I had to go. Otto and I explore Grossinger's Resort, abandoned since the mid 80s and was the inspiration for the resort in the classic movie Dirty Dancing.

Beacon, NY, 66 miles north of New York City, was once home to Denning’s Point Brick Works. DPBW manufactured 1 million bricks every week, some of which are in the Empire State Building and Rockefeller center.

Centralia PA was once a thriving town until a devastating underground mine fire completely changed everything. Come along with us as we explore this abandoned town (that inspired the game Silent Hill) and learn its story.

When you first see a 40 mile bike tour, its very likely that you will be scared of that number. Its going to be OK! This video will help you get ready for the Five Boro bike tour or any similar bike tour you are prepping for.

Two of my best friends get married in VEGAS! Oh and I dressed as Elvis…because why not…
This video has more than just that though:
 - Ill share some stuff about David Copperfield
 - We go to the Neon Museum
 - The wedding of course
 - Dancing at Foundation Room (Mandalay Bay)
 - Gambling tips from Ali and me
 - AND a helicopter ride!
I know its a lot!

If you are ever driving though South Carolina be sure to make a "pit" stop at the Peach! 

Yup, didn't know a single person there, but I stepped outside my comfort zone and got out and met people! Here are some of the highlights of my week.

Astor Place in NYC has a ton of history, but have you ever noticed its beavers?

The TWA Terminal, designed by Eero Saarinen, must have looked out of this world when it opened in 1962.  It's so sad that Eero never got to see it before he died.
This was mostly shot during my visit there October 2015, the last day the public could view the building prior to it becoming a hotel.

Otto and I take a little sailing excursion out in the harbor, well kind of sailing, you could hear the engines the entire time...
AND we have a few too many drinks, what a great time.
The brewery featured on the boat was Bronx Brewing, a solid brewery!
 

My friend One-Eyed Mike picks up Otto and me to head up to Fawns Leap, 2 hours outside of the city.  After some beers and some minor injuries all I can say is we had a great time!

Ill take you down to the sub basement where the Metro North Railroad gets its power and tell you about the story of how the Natzis tried to destroy it in WW2.  Then we go underground and dodge the third rail to find the abandoned FDR train car.
This entire video including photos was all done on the iPhone6.  I also used a Gimble (stabilizer), a lapel microphone, and the Ollo Clip iPhone lenses. 

Slip-N-Fly takes first blood on Ryan.  
We head out to Butler, Ohio to experience the wonder that is Ohio Dreams.

Jay takes me out to Sandusky, OH to ride the roller coasters at Cedar Point!

Jay and I tool around in Buffalo and Niagara Falls for a bit while listening to TRINA.  We try some Canadian candy bars and hit the local breweries on both sides of the border.
