This great vintage video showing New York City trolley service on the corner of Broadway and 17th Street in Union Square way back in 1901 was recently restored and uploaded by YouTuber Guy Jones. "Small peek back in time to New York 114 years ago. This is at Broadway and 17th street. Naturalized the speed and added some sound ambience for flavor"

Here is a Google StreetView how the same view looks today:

One Wall: Kings of Coney Island is a 2013 documentary about the ultra-competitive handball scene and its unique players in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

Handball is the ultimate city game. Played at the highest level, it can be both beautiful and brutal - one player describes it as 'like boxing, except with a ball. For more than 50 years, the National One Wall Handball Championship has been played at the Seaside Courts in Coney Island. One Wall follows the most talented athletes you've never heard of as they vie for the coveted title in 2011, from Tyree Bastidas, the young, handsome reigning champ, to handball legend Joe Durso, the player everyone loves to hate. The fight for immortality in an obscure sport makes for compelling drama, while the shtick on and off the court (this is Brooklyn, after all) makes for great comedy - it's material David Mamet or Woody Allen would be only too happy to lift.

Good morning! Wishing you a happy Sunday, November 5th, 2017 from all of us at Viewing NYC!
