We are loving all of the vintage NYC materials you've been posting lately! It's so interesting to take a look back on a Manhattan we haven't seen before.

Hey, the old Blimpies was on the corner of 1st Ave/14th St as long ago as 1971.

Thanks again for this one. At the very start, that's a glimpse of the bathhouse that became Lucky Cheng's, isn't it?

I love this so!

Love seeing the corner of 10th and then 11th -- so much remains the same amid all the change. And then the view of Beth Israel in the distance at 14th, ahhh.

Something about this is just so heartwarming for me, to feel like a part of a long, continuous river of NYC history.

thank you
