Chalini to get 10% off your first month of counseling now. Let's get back to the video Oh my god That was the hardest thing I've done in a long time Okay But for seriously That was a lot more Involved than I remember last time Also, there are no city bikes right here. So I'm gonna sit here And wait for one But yeah, I think we started taking the Fit testing a lot more seriously now because I mean I can't remember how many times I've been fit tested in my life But usually for the last Seven or so years through med school. I guess ten years almost We basically just go through the motions put in our N95 mask Yeah, we don't taste anything blah blah blah blah, and then we get our mast And that's our fit test for the year, but then all of a sudden this whole COVID situation Came around and we take it a lot more seriously now. I for one do take it a lot more seriously now I think what I'm trying to say is that before it used to be like a check mark and now it's basically like you better do this because Your life depends on it. So I actually tested for three different masks And it's about 90 degrees outside and I was still hot from my bike over to the hospital And when I put that hood on I was sweating so much and the whole thing was farting up And I couldn't see anything my face was dripping sweat and we had to do it three times now It's like this whole pro long process. So essentially you put the mask on Spray it move around to your head up and down a minute a half minute a half minute a half Here they're you have to run in place jog up and down and yeah, they take it very seriously now It is the weekend now Indiana starts a new job at a new location this weekend So I decided to take the subway and go with her to this neighborhood Because it's a little adventure to take this morning and I was gonna do nothing besides sit in my couch So might as well go with her. I'll explore while she's at work If you guys have seen the Netflix Documentary Linux Hill You may remember that building right there That's the Linux Hill adrenix village ER. So anyways, and run is working Today, I'm gonna go around probably just Film some stuff in it before So I dropped in drawn off at work and now I'm just exploring the West Village, which I totally forgot how Adorable this neighborhood is I haven't been over here in so long and we would only ever go out of here So it's been quite a bit of time stepping over here, but I'm going to try to find a local breakfast shop which Any other time of the year would be very easy except everything is still closed with the exception of a few restaurants, so Let's see if I can find some some omelette somewhere or something. Also If I just turn behind me You may be able to see Freedom Tower right there So yeah, all right, I'm gonna find some breakfast Also, if you ever get lost in New York because it can be pretty daunting to find your way around here sometimes When you don't really know the city one thing I realized when I first moved here Is that if I ever get lost I just look up? Because when I look up I can see a building and that's kind of used as a landmark so for instance, there's Freedom Tower or One World Trade Center is that way so I know that is south and I know that's the bottom of the island So if I want to go north I had opposite of that pretty simple concept But you know a lot of people don't think about that But then I guess you really need to know how or where the buildings are to kind of use that concept But basically south There is one World Trade Center Midway through is the Empire State Building which I'm about to go to and then you can use other landmarks of the big Midtown buildings up in the middle of the island as well. So that's what I do. Maybe if you visit here That might help you. Also, I hear doodle maps is pretty good too. All right It's a beautiful day and you know what that means. I might as well get a nice city bike Right around down here and explore because I don't skateboard like Casey Neistat So I might as well hop on One of these million open bikes over here So I just got to my favorite spot in the entire City it's been my favorite spot since I moved here back in 2010 I used to actually live right around the corner on 23rd Street and my favorite spot happens to be Madison Square Park, I'll show you around in just a second, but Since we're kind of talking about mental health in this video I kind of wanted to talk about why I love this spot so much so I think it's important especially as a health care professional if you kind of focus on your mental health because It's pretty much the only thing we have so as you know I partnered with better help on this video because I think they offer some valuable resources to health care providers and pretty much everybody because We go through a lot in health care and sometimes you just want someone to talk to and go through stuff with This is kind of my outlet. Honestly, I'm talking to a camera But I'm also kind of expressing what I'm going through as you guys follow me through along this entire journey So it's kind of therapeutic in a way. The reason I love this park so much is because it's a quiet gym in the middle of 23rd and Park Avenue. It's beautiful. You have a nice park atmosphere You're surrounded by big buildings and my first came here. This was like my go-to spot There's the lines of benches to sit on and now especially with social distancing You kind of have your own separate area to kind of just hang out and relax and kind of close your eyes He's just trying to think about everything that's going on and focus on you So I tend to come here pretty often just to kind of relax And I used to come here often and I'm going to come here more often It's like a tiny central part in the lower east side of Manhattan So if you want to come here and check it out Madison Square Park This is where it's at. Also, it's where Shake Check was founded. If you don't know what Shake Check is Park this Building right here this square building was like my absolute favorite building was the only thing along the park along with the clock tower That guy. Oh, that's a nice view actually so This was my favorite building. This is a new building. This is the clock tower. I love as well and also This is the first Shake Check Ever invented started here ladies and gentlemen Also, I still haven't found some breakfast So I'm gonna go do that now and then I'm going to park again and respond to more questions because I just posted a video right now And that's pretty much it Also, I'm at it Let me show you my other favorite part that I've never been inside Happens to be Ramsey Square Park This is probably the most exclusive park in Manhattan. Why is it so exclusive you asked? Well For one you have to live Along this super super expensive square of Gramercy Square Park in order to get a key to the park So the only people that have access to the park Live around it, which is crazy And some of these places Are pretty expensive But I've heard there is a little loophole with getting access to this park Because some people have an Airbnb their apartments around here and You stay at one of those Airbnb's you get a key Which is a nice way to experience the park without Spending 10 million dollars now if we want to talk about mental health in Relaxation in this city. I think being in Gramercy Square Park might be the best place for just Mental relaxation and focusing on your own mental health So maybe one day you or I Would get about 10 million dollars and maybe we'll own a brownstone in Gramsies Square Park And we can have access to the park to just kind of relax and Enjoy nature quietly I don't know if you guys remember my one of my interview videos, but I actually Set right here in this window And I was studying for boards And did kind of like a time lapse But now instead of going inside we have to do this Which is we order behind a plexiglass thing and I stand out here and I give my food and coffee And then take it somewhere on the street. This is what I love the most You can kind of just Stop anywhere you are Find a little stoop Put your egg sandwich on and just kind of eat it in the middle of the street I don't know why I love it so much. This is my current setup And so it looks like it is about to start raining so I got it in the vlog here As always make sure you smash like subscribe button and follow me on Instagram if you don't already Please make sure you hit that thumbs up because it really helps out the algorithm And I see a lot of you all working around that aren't subscribing to my channel, but watch my videos.
