Love pictures of old New York City! Looking at those pictures presents an eerily feeling knowing those people are most likely dead.
What is the original source of these images? I've noticed quite a few people on Flickr scanning pictures from books and claiming "All Rights Reserved" but never giving any attribution.
Look at the size of that portable radio in the Central Park shot. Probably AM and SW banded.
The peep show shot is priceless. Every stereotype noted.
LOVE these photos. Nice post Jen. The Billie Holiday shot is my favorite.
Loving the Easter Sunday shot.
Everyone is looking fly as hell

The Bernard Baruch Houses was supposed to be an improvement? Give me pre-war "slums" over post-war human warehouses anytime.
Walking down Hoyt Street in Brooklyn it's depressing to imagine what was lost between Wyckoff and Douglas when the Gowanus Houses were built to "improve" the neighborhood.
Very cool pics. I think that's Madonna making out in the movie theater lol.

could you imagine if kids were jumping like that into the Hudson today? the outcry we would hear. man that looks fun.
