Casey Neistat returns to New York City for first time after \u201cretiring\u201d from vlogging YouTube: Casey NeistatYouTube star Casey Neistat notably quit his daily vlogging adventures in 2016 and moved away from NYC some time afterward \u2014 but now, years later, he\u2019s back where it all began. Neistat quickly rose to prominence as one of YouTube\u2019s most popular vloggers, recording his daily outings in the hustle and bustle of New York City in high-quality, ten-minute videos that he uploaded every day. However, after 18 months of daily vlogs, Neistat claimed that the \u201cexperiment was over,\u201d explaining that he needed more of a \u201ccreative challenge\u201d for his content. While Neistat had made his home in New York City for some time, in 2019, the vlogger moved to Los Angeles to \u201cslow things down\u201d and spend more time with his family \u2014 and although he continued to make content, it wasn\u2019t the same as his previous daily vids. However, nearly two years later, Neistat has finally made a comeback in NYC, and it\u2019s a pretty big deal to his fans. The YouTuber explained why he\u2019d come back in a video on June 7, 2021, stating that he had visited his father after a major (and blessedly successful) medical operation, and since he was close to New York, decided to give the old homestead a runback. \u201cWhen I was coming over that hill, and I saw the New York City skyline for the first time, I\u2019m looking at this city, the love of my life, I know my dad\u2019s doing great, \u2019cause he\u2019s out of the hospital\u2026 I literally started crying,\u201d he said. \u201cI was so happy!\u201d While he was back home, Neistat decided to congratulate fellow YouTuber \u2018HELLAHGOOD,\u2018 who had just completed running a 3,200 mile, 84-day journey across the United States from Los Angeles to New York to benefit non-profit Soles4Souls. Neistat is ever a generous influencer, and gave HELLAH an opportunity to shine and explain his massive project before leaving NYC after just one day there\u2026 but it\u2019s a short trip that we can bet he won\u2019t forget anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
