Chinatown, the original

Looking colorful at Doyer's bloody angle.

Since 1873

An old timer.

The original punk rocker

Still going strong, though.

The Deco is Art

New York just ate up the streamline style.

On Pell

Chinese flying horses, no less.

Colorful Chinatown

And don't forget the dim sum.

Among the first public housing projects, the Vladeck Houses

State of the art in 1940.

Where there's glass…

There's art.

Baxter Street, once Five Points' baddest

The worst of the worst back in the day.

Looks like it's gonna eat the bridge

The two bridges neighborhood--and one large tower.

Steroids

Who let this Sluggo in?

Lady divers

They're there, just look with an open mind.

Downtown, yonder

The borderland between the Lower East Side and FiDi.

Public housing dominates the Lower East Side

And LaGuardia's name is everywhere.

Yes, visit

Let's not.

LaGuardia public bath house

Back in the day, keeping clean was hard.

Knickerbocker Village

Early NYC public housing.

A New York City and American first

Public housing began here and at First Houses in the 30s.

A survivor

Not many left from the 19th century around here any more.

Henry Street Settlement throws a curve

All up to date at Henry Street.

Fighting the good fight

Bringing rich and poor together.

Still going strong

It casts a wider net these days.

Guarding the entrance

Of course, it's George.

Conference room

With a gallery of a few local heroes.

The Ceremony Room

For, you know, ceremonies and stuff.

City Council Chambers

Where the sausage is made.

Under the dome

City Hall's grand entrance.

City Hall

The city's business transacted here.

Notice me?

Like driving with your brights on.

Turn in the lights

Overlooking Zucotti Park downtown.

Stocks here

Money talks in a certain way, like Greek columns.

Room enough?

They keep piling in.

Inside the tomb

The dead always lived better in ancient Egypt.

Golden girl

And a cafe near by!

Bah humbug

Just another pretty face.

Really?

Run that by me again.

Frankly…

I am shocked.

Beg

Such a good boy.

Oh, oh, oh

Even statues can get ecstatic.

A thought

We think a lot at the Met.

All wings

And all concrete, too.

From here to there

Stairway to…upstairs?

Hotel view, but with planes

It's wild and wacky out there.

TWA lives

Say, what happened to the neighborhood?

Not quite ready

But soon…

Almost there

Gonna be wonderful in a few weeks.

New again

JFK's TWA terminal starts it second life as a hotel.

Can't have enough shops

Bring your credit cards, all of them.

At the Shed

Tonight's performance will be…

Quite the neighborhood

Cozy, no?
