NYC Grid

2009-09-04

“NYC Grid is an exploration and documentation of New York neighborhoods, street by street and block by block.

When and if the Empire State Building is ever disassembled, there will be no shortage of photos and videos to remind historians what made the building special.
But what about the blue door on West 4th, the old sign on 79th, the curved wall on E10th.
These are the things that may only be photographed once every few years, and sometimes only by mistake.

This is simply a snapshot: New York as we live in it now.”.

 Broadway Between Exchange Pl and Pine St
42nd St Between Lexington Ave and Vanderbilt Ave “Sitting on a bus as it zips around town is one of the worst ways to get a feel for Manhattan.
You don’t get to see the shops, you don’t get to smell the food, you don’t get to even see the texture on the cobblestones.
New York is a walking city, it’s that simple.”.
(Paul Sahner)
