Excellent, excellent thread! It's so nice and refreshing to see the breadth of the NYC area and environs. I used to work with a girl from Great Neck, it's nice to see a photo of it. :)

This thread changed my life.
|
One thing I really hate about this website is salubrious photothreads like this that make me whimsically make multiple changes to flight schedules.
God Bless NY. God Bless Newark Airport. :yes: (weird ritual) |
You've always been the best person on this forum to showcase all of New York Metro.
|
wow, major tour.
Same shot from the 1970s http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2...-1970s/100190/ http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/in...3_88292414.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2680/...0ecbb86c_b.jpg There is a restaurant nearby that serves authentic NM green chile, think it is called superfine. ¡Huevos Rancheros! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2758/...7ff42afb_b.jpg Is this the neighborhood with all the minivans? |

I've lived in new York a decade and am a relentless explorer, and the list of places to discover still seems inexhaustible. I'm a jamais vu junky, and this wonderful metropolis has made me one blissful urban frontiersman. Nygirl, you are my Dr. Livingstone |
:) and yes @ Okayyou. Williamsburg is where you can find hipster's and the Hasidim. Most do not interact with non orthodox jews and those minivans act as taxi service for the neighborhood.

crazily comprehensive. thanks for all your hard work.
|
AMAZING THREAD!! I love the variety and the broad scope of your photos!
|
Very impressive! Some neighbourhoods are very nice and some unexpected, and most tourists will never see them as they mostly stick to central Manhattan.
|
NYGirl never disappoints with her threads. Always outstanding.
|
Thanks NYgirl for sharing these! Great work!:tup:
