Ah, EVG reader J.J. sent along a clip from one of our favorite NYC movies — "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" from 1974. (Anyone ever watch the 2009 remake? If not, then please don't.)
Anyway, the 90-second clip highlights a key scene that takes place on Lafayette Street up to Astor Place... As J.J. notes: "Luckily the Mud Truck wasn't there that day."
And we always liked the original movie poster...
