Opened in 1950, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade sits directly over the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and offers one of the best views in the City, looking out over the New York Harbor and Lower Manhattan. In these vintage photographs from around 1971, take a peek at the famous park nearly 50 years ago.
As a promo for the new Geostorm movie starring Gerard Butler, an epic prank took place this week in a special New York City taxi cab that fooled several unsuspecting passengers. A few minutes after passengers got in the cab, a special news report came on the television screen warning of a bizarre and dangerous ice storm passing through the area. As it played, the taxi turned down a street that had been dressed to appear completely frozen, including people and pets. Once the cab "died", the passengers sat wondering what was going on as frozen actors starting pounding on the windows, begging to be let in.
Watch what happens when a summer cab ride turns into a winter nightmare.
Geostorm hits theaters all over on October 20th, 2017.
