Take a trip back to 1940s New York City in this incredible vintage film created to promote New York City tourism by showing off some of the City's most magnificent sites of the era.

Highlights include the newly build Empire State Build, the New York Public Library, Washington Square Park, Central Park (with cars all around!), the American Museum of Natural History, and tons of street scenes and aerial shots.

The short 7-minute film is well-worth the watch if you want to see what life was like in New York City in the 1940s.

The New York Transit Museum in Downtown Brooklyn is the best place in New York City to learn about the history of the MTA, buses, trains, and subway system. In this walk-through video from YouTuber TheAdventurousVlogger, see what the museum has to offer.

The New York Transit Museum is a museum that displays historical artifacts of the New York City Subway, bus, commuter rail, and bridge and tunnel systems.

That platform was once visible and could be seen from the uptown 14 St. IRT platform, just across from the local track. There was even an open but narrow staircase on the mezzanine, with just a single chain across its top leading down to it. I always enjoyed that glimpse into the station's past, but sometime in the 1980s or 1990s that wall was built, hiding the platform from view and the staircase leading down to it was removed & the floor paved over.
