The Grand Central Oyster Bar, located on the lower level of Grand Central Terminal, opened in 1913 to much fanfare as a pleasant way to spend your time waiting for a train while at the station. In this vintage photograph captured by Detroit Publishing Co sometime between 1913 and 1920, it is easy to see just how classy it once was.

A few years ago, reporters from The Verge took a tour of the New York Historical Society's 11,000 toys, part of The Jerni Collection. According to the museum, the vintage toys (1840-1960) have major historical significance.

If you want to academically understand this collection, yes they're toys, but if you're really looking at toys, you're looking at, toys are made by adults for children, so therefore they reflect adult values of the time they were made.

Created by time lapse photographer Aaron Kreigher, this stunning video titled Neon Reflections highlights New York City and other cities around the world. Check it out!

Our cities are full of color and light. At night, they shine like a rainbow illuminating our world. This light is reflected in their waterways, on their buildings and streets, and even on the people who live there. For years, artists, craftsmen and craftswomen have designed brilliant neon signs that captured our attention with their colorful glow. Today, LED lights allow us to create an ever changing spectrum of color that adds a new brilliance to our cities’ skylines and streets at night.

These colorful urban metropolises are a reflection of the beautiful melting pot of people who imbue their character on their cities. And this continuously expanding rainbow of colors on our cities' skylines are a testament to the ever increasing diversity that we find within our cities and communities. This short timelapse film focuses on those colors and makes use of reflections, both natural and created, to help us reflect on the beauty that shines within all of us.
