This great vintage photograph shows the corner of West 10th Street and Surf Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn back in 1903. The roller coaster in the photograph is the Loop the Loop, one of the first looping roller coasters in America. Closing in 1910, the short-lived coaster was one of dozens of coasters on Surf Avenue throughout the early 20th century. Here is a Google StreetView of how this same section looks today, with the Cyclone at Luna Park instead:

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Tuesday, July 28th, 2020 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

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

Levain Bakery is one of the most famous spots in New York City to get cookies. Tourists and locals alike flock to its shops in the city to get its giant cookies, especially the chocolate chip walnut. Herrine Ro visited the bakery to speak with the owners, Constance McDonald and Pamela Weekes. They watched how the cookies are made using secret recipes, spoke to customers, and tried out all the cookies.

Levain Bakery is currently open for delivery and pickup only. This video was obviously filmed pre-Covid.
