This great vintage photograph of Madison Square Park shows how it looked back in 1893, much different that it appears today. As our friends at the Washington Square Park Blog pointed out:

The park seems to have retained the ‘bones’ and basic layout of that era. What is obviously missing is the Shake Shack

Among the missing Shake Shack and Dog Run, other notable differences is the missing Flatiron Plaza, perimeter fencing, and benches. This photo appears in the Danny Meyer book titled Setting the Table.

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Wednesday, September 30th, 2020 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

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

Welcome to New York City Ballet's Digital Fall Season. Our first program of the season, introduced by Principal Dancer Maria Kowroski, features a collection of ballets created by our Co-founding Choreographer George Balanchine spanning a quarter century of his creative output – from Symphony in C (1947) to Stravinsky Violin Concerto (1972).

This program will be available until October 6, 2020 at 8 PM EDT. Check out the video page for more info on any of the numbers.
