Columbia University biologist Rob Dunn has discovered a unique species of ant living between 63rd and 76th streets along Broadway on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Dubbed the "ManhattAnt", the ants have a higher concentration of carbon in their bodies, indicative of a high corn-syrup diet, likely from eating trash and discarded street food.

Biologists stumbled upon a new species of ant in the Broadway medians at 63rd and 76th streets […] The ant looks like it hails from Europe, but so far the scientists have not been able to match it with any of the approximately 13,000 species of known ant. “It’s new to North America, and we believe it’s new to the entire world,” biologist Rob Dunn, whose team discovered the insect, told the Post. The ant doesn’t have a scientific name yet, but it’s fondly nicknamed the “ManhattAnt.”

Opening in June of 1909, the Queensboro Bridge is the only bridge spanning the East River that is not a suspension bridge, but rather a five-span cantilever truss. From opening day until 1931, the bridge had two large pedestrian walkways on the upper level, seen here in this great vintage photograph. As more room for cars was deemed necessary, the upper level was converted into roadways, and the two thin, shared pedestrian walkways we have today was opened on the outer edge of the lower levels, only one of which is currently in use.
