Lunch Atop a Skyscraper is one of the most famous photographs of our City, and one of the most famous photographs of all time. Captured on the top of Rockefeller Center while it was under construction in 1932, the ironworkers back then risked all to build the giant buildings, with very few safety precautions, if any. A similar scene, taken 85 years later, shows hard-hats, safety harnesses, safety netting, and much more careful construction workers on the top of the Hudson Yards project in a similar shot.

In New York City, non-service-dogs are not allowed on the trains or platforms unless they are in a carrier or bag of some sort. Sometimes, New Yorkers get creative when they need to take their large pups on a journey. Redditor ZA44 spotted this super cute Pug hanging out in a zipped tote-bag, following all the rules.
