New York City : the bumpiest part of the tourist trail
Here are a couple of pics from my trip last july. 8 days, 4 boroughs. For more pics, see this collection, which also include photos of Manhattan from a previous trip in 2007.

The photos are in the most random order, enjoy!

with one thread, you just put every ny forumer to shame (except for sabotai). incredibly wide variety of nabes shown here. i especially enjoyed the shots from nycha towers in the bronx.

I think the question for this thread is "Where didn't he make it?"

Beautiful work!

Holy hell, that was good.

Soundview, Brighton Beach, Hunter's Point... awesome.

Some very unique rooftop shots. Do you know someone who works for the NYCHA or something?

I was going to ask the same thing.

Only Sabotai does NYC better than you. And I say that with some shame as a New Yorker who has never contributed a single photo to the forum.

Jive's comment is the best Ive ever read on a photo thread.



There are a couple of brilliant shots in there. My favorites include:




what can I say, I'm a sucker for the VNB

I agree with everyone here. This is one of the best NYC threads ever!

I would name my favorites but there are just too many.

Two that stuck with me are Heidi the missing Chihuahua and that poor lamb in the abattoir.
