Some fantastic color films (not videos) of New York 1959-1960. Check out the pictures of the Stock Exchange and how everything transaction was done manually by phone and paper. Also look at the pictures of Little Italy. I have memories of this (I was only 5 years old) but it could have been a thousand years ago with all the change that has taken place in New York City.
A Great Time to Come to New York
Despite what you may hear in the news, now is actually an excellent time to visit New York City. As a lifelong New Yorker and professional tour guide, I can assure you—this city is still full of life, history, culture, and of course, incredible bagels.
