Local pro photographers James and Karla Murray have a YouTube series in which they explore neighborhoods around New York City from their unique perspective. Obviously, their normal video tours have been suspended due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but in this recent video, watch as they give you a walk through of 57th Street and Times Square.

In our NYC WALKING TO TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK, we walk along 7th Avenue from 57th St to Times Square and 42nd Street with our dog during the #Coronavirus Lockdown in #NYC to see how Times Square, the Theater district and the Midtown West neighborhoods looks during the reopening of New York with outdoor dining during COVID-19 restrictions. We see many restaurants, cafes and bars open with outdoor seating and people gathering around the Times Square area.

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Thursday, November 5th, 2020 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

This great vintage photograph from around 1908 shows Café Martin on the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, on the corner of Madison Square Park. The recently completed Flatiron Building would be 3 blocks down Fifth Avenue to the left.

Here is a Google Streetview of that intersection today.

Check out the specimen page in the Library of Congress Digital Archives for more info on the photo.
