This great vintage photograph shows the R.H. Macy and Company block-wide department store and surrounding Herald Square in 1905. The view is from atop a building across 6th Avenue looking west, with 35th Street on the right and 34th Street just barely showing on the left. Here is a Google StreetView showing a similar view from the ground today:

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Tuesday, April 7th, 2020 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

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

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 a ghost-town-like Grand Central Terminal.

We walk with our dog during the Coronavirus Lockdown in New York to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, NYC. We travel the empty streets surrounding Grand Central Terminal and go inside to see its Beaux-Arts interior and star-filled constellation ceiling. Trains are still running on a limited schedule but the station is largely empty of people.
