I'm surprised that the fire escapes are so underutilized as outdoor space. I love sitting outside on mine and reading. I call it my "poor man's balcony".
By the way, I was once asked by tourists, who were observing a fashion shoot taking place on a fire escape, whether New Yorkers actually used those "stairs" to get to their apartments....

What a cool photo, where was this taken? That woman is...smokin'! (Sorry, I couldn't help it.)
Oh Marty!
I think Shawn took it along Avenue A one day this summer...
Avenue A @ 10th Street
Timeless. Could be 1972 as easily as 2012. Great pic!
Perfect.

You guys are the best! Thanks!!!!
Lovely photo and hard to believe it was taken now because she's not looking down at a smartphone.

I was thinking the same thing... I was also thinking that I don't see as many people sitting at the window, watching the street below...
Oh, hai. Vous n'auriez pas du feu? Vous voulez peut-etre une autre cigarette?
