CityNeighborhoods.NYC Updates
Introducing: Special Projects. To kickstart my latest foray into photography, I’ve chosen a few Special Projects. I chose to walk the entire length of Metropolitan Avenue, Myrtle Avenue, and Queens Boulevard.
Here is the first completed project: Metropolitan Avenue. Coming soon: Myrtle Avenue.
It’s been a couple of years, but now CItyNeighborhoods.nyc is ready to return to active status! I’ve spent the past year processing thousands of old photos from photo shoots from as far back as 2015. I plan on sharing the highlights here and to continue creating video slideshows for each neighborhood.
With that in mind, I present the newest video. We return to Alphabet City, with some new photos and a new format, adding both a title and street information to each image.
Oh! And be on the lookout for new photo shoots in the not-so-distant future as I begin exploring the many neighborhoods of the outer boroughs.

New York City is often a fascinating study in juxtapositions: wealthy and working class, glitz and decadence; bright lights and city grime; skyscrapers and subways ...
Here at West 47th Street and 7th Avenue, we see a sets of pairs: waiting ambivalently above ground with the bright lights; joyfully descending below into the glow of the subway ...
Located in the far northwestern corner of Midtown (and southwest corner of Central Park), at the intersection of Broadway, 8th Avenue and West 58th & 59th Streets is Columbus Circle. Here the Big Dipper, the Time Warner Towers, and the spire of Central Park Place look down on the lights and traffic of this iconic location.
