New York City Websites

[Merry]

This site is pretty cool.

http://www.michaelminn.com/newyork/index.html?home.html

[Kris]

A similar site, but only about northern Manhattan: http://www.columbia.edu/~nad7/neighborhood/index.html

A weblog with great photos of the city: http://www.rion.nu

Let's take this opportunity to share all the good NYC links we know.

[RovingRube]

Well, of course I must mention my site:

http://www.rovingrube.com/Rupod.htm

On behalf of which I solicit NYC photos and notes from any and all users of this site.

Here are some others:

Carter B. Horsley's long-running treasure trove of his writings about NYC Skyscrapers, which tends to come up as often as wirednewyork.com in Google searches for info about a particular building:
http://www.thecityreview.com/home.html

Another long-running and continuallly getting bigger and better site:
http://www.forgotten-ny.com/

Cool photo comparison of New York and Amsterdam.

Norman McGrath took the excellent and wonderful full-page photos for Eric P. Nash's book "Manhattan Skyscrapers", which was published in 1999.

He is the son of Australian-born architect, Raymond McGrath, who designed the devine St Ann's Court, a white Meier-ish house in Chertsey, Surrey in the UK (1936-37) (if anyone's interested in 1930's residential architecture in the UK, check out "The Modern House Today" by Nick Dawe/Kenneth Powell, which contains photos of St Ann's Court).

He has a website containing quite a few photos of NYC, amongst other places:

Kew Gardens looks like a very agreeable residential neighbourhood.

http://www.skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?s=41e60457ee81f1879eb2858da19910ab& threadid=27551

The Kitty Genovese link on the website seems to dispel the legend surrounding this very high-profile and (popularly perceived) shameful incident.

Perhaps I should have put this here. Pictorially, the website is a very good representation of this not-oft-seen neighbourhood, even if you don't agree with the opinions expressed about the Kitty Genovese case. I'd be interested in what other forumers think about the views expressed on this website and/or your own opinions.

If any of you are into NYC Transit surface transportation, we've a photo gallery archive, database of documents, overall fleet roster (by type), general knowledge quiz, glossary of terms and of course, a discussion forum. The forum is the most popular of the available sections featuring discussions between employees, passengers, the media and curious visitors.

Thanks to a link on the ever-interesting Forgotten NY (http://www.forgotten-ny.com/):

Hopefully there will eventually be photos of all of the neighbourhoods.

It's refreshing to have someone actually telling us exactly where photos were taken.

[Front_Porch]

Forgive me if this is old news to you all -- but this web site http://nycgarages.com (http://nycgarages.com/) mashes up garage locations and prices, and it's easy to search.


Hats off to Curbed http://www.curbed.com (http://www.curbed.com/) for flagging this through MUG http://www.manhattanusersguide.com (http://www.manhattanusersguide.com/)

Post em if you got em! I will update the first post as the thread gets bigger.

http://www.razorapple.com/ - a website about New York City and what’s happening on the street, both literally and figuratively. Razor Apple is published regularly with content of varying depth, length and quality.

http://newyorkhack.blogspot.com/ - Pictures from an NYC cab driver.

http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/ - No description, but I'll sum it up... it's a site where people submit funny/odd conversations that they eavesdrop on. I laugh at this site every day. Gives you that "Only in NY" feeling.

http://www.forgotten-ny.com/ - Website that tells you about the far corners of NYC and all of it's history. Updated twice weekly with a different area/neighborhood. Still waiting for her to get to the Brooklyn nabe I was raised in :)

[abrahamtim]

http://nyctmc.org/xmanhattan.asp is a pretty cool website you can see the streets of New York live.

Hi all,

I have a number of photos of NY on this page :
http://viaterra.net/photopages/2003-2007/newyork.htm

I tried to show how diverse the place is with some streetlife, monuments, boats, parks etc...

You can see many kinds of photos of New York at the andrewprokos.com web site: NYC photos (http://andrewprokos.com/photos/new-york/), NYC skylines (http://andrewprokos.com/photos/new-york/skylines/), NYC landmarks photos (http://andrewprokos.com/photos/new-york/landmarks/)

[heimbinder]

www.HabitatMap.org (http://www.HabitatMap.org), a Brooklyn-based non-profit dedicated to building sustainable cities through citizen action has recently released an online community mapping and social networking platform (http://www.habitatmap.org/markers) that some of you may be interested in.

To get an idea of how it works, check out the thematic maps (http://habitatmap.org/markers?maps=72,73,77,78,79,80) we put together in collaboration with the Newtown Creek Alliance (http://habitatmap.org/profiles/56).

HabitatMap is a wiki so any registered participant (http://habitatmap.org/sessions/register) can establish a marker, edit an existing marker, or make a map.

Oh. My. (F). God. Wow. Amazing.

The Enter Harlem, NY page on this site:

Edit: I've now had a chance to explore this more thoroughly and I'd just like to say where would we be without Camilo Jose Vergara and his photos, which provide such a fascinating and indelible then and now urban journey. I'm amazed and heartened by his generosity in freely sharing some of his work on the internet with all who are interested. Let's not forget The Bronx (http://www.columbia.edu/imaging/html/browsers/camilo/camilo-browser.html), mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
