Well northsider1983- I am absolutely glad that you have asked that question.  As you can see people have already given some places "in the city". Me too.  But I was just thinking about this.  I actually have a hard time trying to find pictures of the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island.  Yes the city is picturesque both ways in and out, people just like to see the skyline more times than anything, but I will definetly look for some pictures!

Okay, Non-manhattan stuff, coming right up! (this is actually all the Bronx, but eh, It's where I am mostly, so it's where most of my pictures are from).

Co-Op City, from a canoe on the Huthcinson River

A different shot, but near the previous

Random shot down the Henry Hudson Parkway In the Bronx. This is looking south from the West 246th Street overpass, I believe.

The 231st Street station on the #1 subway line and the view southeast of it, from the top of some nearby stairs.

The view east from the top of the West 238th Street stairs at dawn on a freezing february morning. (There's 120 steps here, no short climb!)

The view looking west from the same spot, on a similarly cold January afternoon.

Random shot down Fieldston Road, July '06 (yes this is in New York City!)

(again, these pics are all taken by me)

Awesome, just what I was looking for. Nice pics. lol, is that Goodfellas Pizza? hehe

[Duke87 1,070]

Yes, Goodfelas Pizerria can be found on West 238th street and Waldo Avenue in the Bronx. It's also a common pizza source for Manhattan colege students. the apartment building across the street to the right is Overlook Manor, an upperclassman dorm for Manhattan College since the 60's or so.

Looking the other way, down the stairs, the buiding with the smokestack off to the left is Manhattan College's Leo Engineering Building, which used to be a candy factory. Also visible in the distance is the 238th Street Station on the #1 line (the red structure over the street).

Great pictures!

But in response to the last pic in manman99's post, I just hate that building theyre putting up to the right of the freedom tower.

It ruins the skyline, and it just feels like it's a constant reminder that there were 2 towers there in the past, but they got knocked down.

Ok, just had to get that off my chest.

Here is a picture of the Times Square building when it was first built

MuleFisk: thank you for giving us your opinion, Im not making this a Freedtom Tower tthread, but my opinion is that everyone will come to love and understand the buildings in the place they are, just as what happened with thw WTC. Remember its just a drawing, Dont Judge A Book By Its Cover.

Keep the pics comin guys!!!!

You guys are so lucky to live there!! I hope one day, I'll see NYC... it's the dream of my life. When that day has passed, my life may end lol

[Berethor07 111]

I love NY, nice pics guys

Here's an interesting NYC photoblog.

[ardecila 125]

I like how Manhattan College is in the Bronx - although I'm sure you never hear the end of it.

Come to think of it, "Bronx College" might not attract students quite as much.

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, it originally was in Manhattan when it was founded in 1853. It moved up to its current bronx campus in the 1920's, and they just never changed the name.

And on their official papers, they state their address as being in "Riverdale, New York". The Bronx still has a bad reputation leftover from the 70's and 80's.

[Mikeaut1 261]

I live about 15 minutes from the Queens border on Long Island. Right down the road from my house is a hill that you can climb, and you can see the whole Manhattan skyline out in the distance. Here are some pictures I took back in September 06.

Midtown Manhattan

Lower Manhattan

That shot of Lower Manhattan still always gets me. Imagine if the World Trade Center really was still there? Lower Manhattan would look completely different. The towers would be between that really wide building all the way to the left, and that skinny, tall building to the right of the gap.

[manman99 2]

Mikeaut1- your pics are great!!!! Touching flashback of the WTC.

Duke87- ugh........... very interesting pics duke. haha actually they are just really artistic yet bezzare paintings, but still, its New York what cant you fing there!!

I'm glad you liked them!

I especially like the first picture; in the foreground you have the dense suburbs of New York, and then out in the distance is urban life.

cool photos aren't half of these to big to be alloqwed here?

All of the in-post pics are under 800x600, so no, they're fine.

The pics I posted as links are 1600x1200, but since they're not embedded in-post, that's fine too.

[manman99 2]

I have a few pics for everyone.

Park Avenue

St. Patrick's Cathedral

hope you all enjoyed these ones!! Sorry I couldnt get a lot of pics from insode the city, maybe Duke can do that, just a suggestion though.

This topic is still alive? Neat! All that redundant Burj Dubai stuff makes me throw up.

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, I go back to college in a week.

Maybe I'll kill a saturday afternoon sometime with a picture-seeking trip into the city.

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, since you didn't point it out I will. That tall glass building in the first photo is the new 7 World Trade Center, just completed last year. Thing is, that shot there is looking at it across the ground zero site (7 WTC is off the north edge, that shot is from the southeast corner). So, in a few years, that shot will look rather different since the Freedom Tower will be blocking the view of the old art deco building to the left of 7 WTC, and the other towers on the east side of the plaza will likely be going up by then, too.

No word on when the Cortlandt Street station on the 1 train will be rebuilt, though. (that was the station that was actually directly below the old WTC. Subway service throught the site was restored in 2003, but without that station, so you go straight from Chambers Street to Rector Street (southbound)). They did rebuild a temporary PATH station, though. So you can take PATH into and out of the site.

Also, the shot from the highway with the bridge in the background is from the Long Isand Expressway. That bridge is the 59th Street (Queensboro) Bridge.

And the red pier structure with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background is South Street Seaport.

People try to call it a mall, and of sorts it is, but to me it really seems to be more of a tourist trap.

Proof of that: No one from New York ever goes there. Mostly the same deal with the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Empire State Building, too. New Yorkers hate tourists.

Great pictures!

(But am I the only one who thinks the Freedom tower and the other new ones look stupid?)

What is this, the Emerald City?

I'd show you guys some pictures, but I don't own a camera.

Beautiful city though. I used to live in Brooklyn, which is great, but nothing compared to where I live now (LES) architecturally.

[dogma555 187]

These are from wikipedia, but still really nice shots.

The full nyc skyline as seen from Montclair, NJ.. just to get a good idea of how truly massive it is.

I took this one.. The Verrazano Bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island

[Wheezy 23]

Lower and midtown Manhattan are nice, but could we see some more of the other 90% of the city?

[Hanson784 165]

Great pictures of my home away from home and my favorite city. I'll have to find some of my New York photos from my collection.

Check out this website.

There are pages documenting a lot of things, including many neighborhoods and locales in the outer boroughs.

And not only are there pictures, but if you care, there's plenty of text explaining and describing things, too.
