    (Ephemeral New York)

    On a traffic island at Hudson and Bank Streets is a small dark plaque.

  2. This tiny steel cottage perched on a rock pile is the smallest house ever built on Riverside Drive

    (Ephemeral New York)

    Ever since it officially opened in 1880, Riverside Drive has promised bigness: spacious lots, roomy mansions, and towering prewar apartment houses with expansive views across the Hudson River.

  3. Is this the last public pay phone in a New York City subway station?

    (Ephemeral New York)

    It’s always 1993 at this 4 train stop on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.

    (Ephemeral New York)

    One of the attractions of walking through the Financial District is realizing how many of these mostly nonconforming, cow path-like streets got their start 400 years ago in the colonial outpost of New Amsterdam.

    If you’ve ever found yourself waiting for a downtown 4, 5, or 6 train at Union Square, then you’ve seen them.

  8. In the dark days of the Depression, a Jazz Age artist captures a luminous, magical New York

    (Ephemeral New York)

    He’s hardly a household name today.

  9. A luxury Fifth Avenue apartment tower’s strange fake rooftop

    (Ephemeral New York)

    Facing it head-on from the sidewalk, 1001 Fifth Avenue is impressive enough—a 23-story residential building clad in a limestone facade topped by what looks like a mansard roof that stretches into the sky.

  10. What it was like taking a steamboat to Coney Island on a sweltering Sunday in 1895

    (Ephemeral New York)
