Great site, keep it up, and good luck!
$20 with love from Melbourne, Australia. Your blog is the next best thing to being in NYC. Good luck with the film – I know it’ll be stellar. xxx
I check your site daily and am never disappointed, despite the fact that I have only been in NYC a few days. Thanks for all the interesting photos and intriguing site descriptions.
Thank you for sharing your view of NY
For your spectacular photos and for rescuing Penelope, my 3 little pups — Mayefsky, Gish & Masha (known collectively as MGM) — and I send you heartfelt hoorays!!
So glad I found your site. Thank you for uncovering NY’s hidden-in- plain-site treasures. I look froward to visiting some of them myself on my next trip.
I’m never dissapointed when I visit your blog, it’s astonishing to think about all that sublime architecture and history New York has to offer – most if it in plain sight but ignored! Thanks for highlighting your super finds! Best wishes for the movie from the UK!
Can’t wait to see your movie.
I live in Georgia, but try to visit NY several times a year. Your site is a treat. I made a small donation and recommended the site to my son, who now lives there.
I just wanted to thank you for all of your posts! I live in NJ but my son lives in Queens and we both enjoy seeing all of the locations that you have posted. My son just recently visited the Belvue Hospital you showed and sent me some pictures.
Good luck with the movie and your website.

Your stories are fascinating! Our son, Jeff, lives in Brooklyn now having moved from his native Montana. He got me hooked on your site. Good luck on the movie.
Just completed my promise. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been following you for quite a while. It just so happens I have a little extra in my account this month. I LOVE what you’re doing. I wish, I could quit my job and follow you around, lol….keep giving us more places to visit.
Loved the post on my Great Grandfather’s, Walter Geer, Terra Cotta company office. Very thankful that it will continue on in NYC. Thanks for highlighting!
Born in the Bronx and migrated to Yonkers, New Rochelle, and then NJ. Still consider myself a city kid although I am a retired guy now. I love movies with NYC venues and your Warriors slideshow was terrific.I just donated $50 and wish you good luck on your movie project!
$20 with grateful thanks for all the many new things you’ve shown me in and about my favourite city. Good luck with the project, can’t wait to see it come to fruition! Best wishes from sunny seaside Kent in England.
$5, all I have right now but I’m hoping that you’re still working on this dream
Thanks for all the pleasure you’ve given me v with your photos and commentary! I look forward to continued good reading.
Hope you will make your movie dream come true. Good luck!

Love the precision of your run-down on the screen shots.
Just found your site by accident. And I am so lucky – what a treat!! I loved your photographs and commentary, it was like a private tour into the bowels of this fascinating building. We will be visiting NY for just a day, meeting a friend in front of this building. I will look at it with a whole new appreciation. I will be sure to follow you! Thanks again for a wonderful read!
Thanks Nick for your amazing discoveries around Gotham City.. I’m a Licensed NYC Sightseeing Guide and also a volunteer with http://www.bigapplegreeter.org. I will take visitors to some of the places you have discovered …some , i never knew existed. I contributed to your fund and wish you much success in all of your future endeavors.
Your posting is the only reference I have ever found to the Dixie Bus Terminal. I remember it well because I used to visit the school my brothers and sisters went to in a tiny town in NJ. I was only a child, 11 at the most, and I went, by myself, to visit them. Imagine, today, allowing a child of 11 to do that! But, I lived on West 91st Street and knew how to get there, how to buy my ticket and which bus to get on. I believe it was the Red and Tan line. I had to change buses in Newfoundland and finally wound up, I believe, in Oak Ridge. When I tell people, no one has ever heard of the Dixie Bus Terminal. Thank you!
toi toi toi — good luck Nick! fab site… thanks! gb
Thank you for the tour and wonderful pictures. I’ve been an airliner buff since I was 13. Love to fly. I never would had an opportunity to actually visit a final resting location for planes. But it’s sad when you think about all the people who flew these planes and the adventures of millions of people over the tears.
2020 — the year that was . . . where does your movie project stand?
I grew up in Brooklyn and was in Troop 309 sponsored by the Church of Saint Mark’s. We camped all over the New England area.
Even though it’s almost 20 years since you wrote it, I just today stumbled upon your review of the Loew’s Valencia Theater in Jamaica, Queens. I’ve lived in California since 1975, but as a child in the 1950s and ’60s, I went to the Valencia quite a few times; I remember for sure seeing THE TEN COMMANDMENTS there. This was a wonderful memory trip for me… even if it made me shed tears of nostalgia!
Great site, Nick. Please continue to maintain it and develop it. I am still waiting for your next projects.
Thank you so much for your article! I was doing some family history research and saw Gospel Tabernacle, 692 8th Ave, NYC on my grandparents marriage certificate from 1922. They were both evangelists with the Christian and Missionary Alliance from the early 1920’s. Your photos gave me a connection with them and in a small way made me feel like I was there 101 years ago. Keep up the good work! You never know what an impact your work can have on someone’s life.
What a great job on the French Connection. RIP Billy Friedkin. I was born in 1971 in Brooklyn. I got a lotta stories. Also, led plenty of walking tours throughout Brooklyn Heights from 2013-2018. Love those federal style houses. There’s a story about the elimination of that street near Middagh but I forgot it!
