80. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Battery Park. Looking east toward Brooklyn from the southern tip of Manhattan. The cranes are the Red Hook Container Terminal.

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.

78. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

77. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn. Once a busy commercial waterway, the canal is now considered one of the most polluted bodies of water in the USA.

75. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Lower East Side. Looking east on Delancey Street (the border area between LES and Chinatown). I like the orange color rhyme.

74. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Sunnyside, Queens. You don’t see the skyline of Manhattan when you are in Manhattan.

73. NEW YORK ON FOOT. The Bronx. The Bronx provides a welcome break from the grid of Manhattan. It also has the best nickname, “The Boogie Down Bronx”, or in casual conversation “The Boogie Down”.

72. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Harlem. A few dozen blocks from Midtown, but a million miles away.

71. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Brownsville, Brooklyn. Under the Rockaway Ave station on the 3 train, five stops from the end of the line.

70. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. The subway lines become train lines in the outer parts of the outer boroughs.

#69. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Hunter’s Point, Queens. This lot won’t stay empty for long. The population density of Manhattan is rapidly spilling over the Queensborough Bridge into Hunters Point and Long Island City.

68. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Manhattan. A townhouse in the East 50’s. It would seem that every region of the world has its ideal form of housing, and one could do a lot worse than a townhouse on a quiet street in Manhattan.

66. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Billyburg got some texture too.

53. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Randall’s Island. Looking west under the Triborough Bridge. The bridge in the background to the right is where the Triborough crosses from Randall’s Island into Harlem at 125th Street.

52. NEW YORK ON FOOT. East Midtown, Manhattan. Looking across the East River from a rooftop.

51. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Downtown Brooklyn. The venerable Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower in the background. It seems odd that Brooklyn has a “downtown”, but Brooklyn was a distinct city for its first 250 years. Its merger with NYC was known by some as “the great mistake of 1898”. If it were not part of NYC, Brooklyn would be the third largest city in the country (behind LA and Chicago).

50. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Midtown Manhattan. One of the great “canyons” of New York. Lexington Avenue at 39th Street looking uptown .

49. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Red Hook, Brooklyn. It is easy to forget that New York City sits on an island archipelago. Looking west across Upper New York Bay towards New Jersey.

48. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Sutton Place, Manhattan. The odd little ramp off York Avenue and East 60th that gives access to the Bobby Wagner Walk, which heads uptown along the “shore” of the East River.

47. NEW YORK ON FOOT. Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The corner of Franklin Avenue and Eastern Parkway on a winter evening.
