Local urban explorer and photographer @svvvk recently uploaded this video of him and a buddy climbing all the way to the top of the Americas Building on 6th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. While we cannot condone this type of risky behavior to grab some photographs, they certainly are stunning to look at. Check it out, and try not to fall off your seat.

Vintage Photo Slideshow Shows Staten Island's Lemon Creek as Oyster Oasis and Boater Paradise

Lemon Creek and the surrounding Lemon Creek Park is a beautiful park on the south shore of Staten Island.

Lemon Creek, which empties into Prince’s Bay, has been known by several names over the last few hundred years. In 1830, the freshwater stream was known as Seguine’s Creek, and later, as the Little North River in 1895. Shortly thereafter, the name of Lemon Creek began to appear on maps, and it has remained, although the origin of this unusual name is not known.

See some fantastic vintage photographs of the creek in this slideshow from our friends at the Staten Island Advance.
