New York City - America's most lived in Metropolis
 

2012 is almost over and I completely forgot that I went to New York this year. For those who have never heard of it, New York is the largest metro in the United States and the center of the famous Bos-Wash corridor, which if you are an American, there is a 17% chance that you live here. Centered at a natural harbor striding islands that look uncomfortably like a penis and balls, the region is home to 18-22 million people depending on how you count. I visited in the winter which was brutally cold compared to Texas, but made for an awesome place because almost everyone in New York wears black coats. So enjoy these pictures of New York City, where every street kind of looks like Sesame Street;

Well done sir.

I'll take the townhouse with the huge paneled windows.

nice. i kind of feel like i visited a little after viewing.

Great eye ..i loved your NYC tour :)

That was good stuff!

Never heard of it. ;)

The first picture looks like it was taken at the JFK subway stop. Are the other pictures of the same neighborhood or if not where? I would guess somewhere in Queens. These pictures actually remind me of parts of Chicago.

Nice tour!

Good stuff!

Those pics are all of Howard Beach and South Ozone Park, neighborhoods in far SE Queens along the A train and adjacent to JFK airport.

And these pics are certainly excellent. Very atmospheric!

Awesome thread.

enjoyed the photos :) :tup:

great set of america's greatest city
i liked the mix...night shots, street shots, building shots

The real NYC I'll say, nice work. :tup:

Great stuff, always cool to look at any time of the year.
:tup:

Great shots and views of NYC! Thanks for sharing, Reverberation!

I´ve liked your street scenes and views from above.

Happy New Year and greetings from Madrid, Spain!:fireworks:

Always good to see New York! :)
