These are old photographs of New York that capture the city life in the 80s.

Kai, a two-year-old Shiba Inu, was born lucky. The story about this dog’s adventures is right after the jump.

Tucked away in the Adirondack State Park in New York, this cabin is now on sale for $1.75 million. Constructed on top of a cold-war era missile storage tower, it is the ideal home for surviving any potential world-ending scenario.

Those of us who were not alive in the forties can only imagine what it looked like in real life. However, with these amazing 1941 color photos of New York City we can all enjoy those times from a much brighter perspective.

Trying to create a photographic census of the city of New York, photographer Brandon Stanton started his project called “Humans of New York”. He roamed the city streets and took over three thousand portraits. You can see some of them inside this post.

The 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon are now a sad history. This year the USA will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 events. Let’s compare the photos taken back then and today.

This incredible truck accident looks like it might have happened while filming a movie. The truck is a 16 ton salt spreading truck. The accident happened in Queens, New York.

These are some happily married gay couples who just got married in New York. The state only recently allowed gay couples to marry. There is no reason why gay people shouldn’t be as miserable as the heterosexuals.

These are some very weird and strange things that could only happen in New York. They are awkward, interesting, and funny all at the same time.

Vegetarians need not bother with this list, as most of these sandwiches are meat focused and proud of it. I had no idea that this many sandwiches actually existed, but apparently when 10 million plus people are crammed into a small area there needs to be options to feed all of those hungry people.

These photos of New York City ballerinas were taken by Honolulu born photographer Dane Shitagi. It is known as the New York City Ballerina Project. The idea is to determine how the large metropolis area attracts people who are creative and how the people in the city react to these creative people.

Architect and photographer Kirsten Hively started Project Neon to document, in her humble opinion, the best neon signs throughout NYC. She has taken several hundred photos already and is trying to create an iPhone app that will direct visitors to the best neon signs in the city.

Sometimes it is not easy to draw from looking at an object or a landscape, let alone to reproduce images from memory. Stephen Wiltshire, 36, also called “the human camera” draws city skylines from memory. What impresses the most is their complexity and precision.

This is a photo essay of wild teens from the 80’s. Check out the interesting hair and clothing styles of these punks from years gone by..

As Frank said if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. These retro photos show some of the history of this bigger than big city.

This shows the evolution of New York City’s Subway from 1919 to 2010. The subway is an amazing transportation system that numerous New Yorkers depend on. It operates both above ground and underground.

“Paris vs New York, a tally of two cities”, this is the series of posters about Paris and New York, comparing the two cities. Here’s what the author wrote about his work: “A friendly visual match between those two cities, as seen by a Parisian-based-lover on New York's details, clichés and contradictions.”

The streets of New York City have a wide array of people and sights to see. These photos were taken in 1974. From the musicians to the shops to something as simple as railroad tracks it is all very grand. But then again, they don’t call it the big apple for nothing.

These notes were collected during some event in New York.

And what about you? Who were you when you were a kid?

It is said that New York tap water is delicious. But why is that? Maybe because it has plenty of tinny tiny crustaceans called copepods.

These copepods are absolutely harmless and are invisible to a naked eye. Apparently, they are added to tap water to eat mosquito larvae to keep water sources clear.

Enjoy the pictures from the 15th Cat Fashion Show in New York. The show, taking place in Algonguin Hotel, also celebrated the host cat Matilda's birthday. The participants looked posh and glamorous.

This historic wedding took place at Astor Courts on the Hudson River. Reportedly, its cost was between $3 million and $5 million.

Star Wars characters are now popular among bank robbers. Darth Vader recently walked into the Chase Bank in New York with a hand gun for crowd control. Of course, people at first thought it was a joke. They didn’t think that a 6 foot 2 inches tall man in a helmet and cloak was a real robber. Good, the teller handed over all the cash in her drawer to Vader. The robber took away on his “Star Destroyer” bicycle. Some people now joke that the famous fiction character was just looking for money to fix his Death Star.

It is a very topical issue today when the summer heat came in force.

These pictures were taken in New York in 1953 and show children having fun with a fire hydrant and fighting with a heat wave back then. I guess, not much has changed since then, I would love to do this too. It feels good, plus it is fun.
