dumbo
83. NEW YORK ON FOOT. DUMBO, Brooklyn. In a city full of neighborhood acronyms (Tribeca, Soho, Nolita), DUMBO may be the best (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Not the greatest photo ever taken, but it contains some New York staples: razor wire, a bridge, the Freedom Tower (under construction), retro industrial chic, and a classic rooftop water tank. An interesting weekend project would be to walk DUMBO, then rent The French Connection and see how different it was in the 70’s.

Sunnyside grey 81. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Sunnyside, Queens in winter. The city would not be what it is without its deep industrial infrastructure.

Batt Park

state st
79. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Downtown Brooklyn. The remnants of the notorious blizzard of December 2010. Looking north with the venerable Williamsburg Savings Bank Building in the background. It is very a useful landmark while walking northwestern Brooklyn.
