PAGE THE WATER-FRONT 1
THE WALK UP-TOWN 27
THE CROSS STREETS 63
RURAL NEW YORK CITY 99
PAGE Grant's Tomb and Riverside Drive 3
Down along the Battery sea-wall is the place to watch the ships go by 5
Old New Amsterdam 7
Just as it has been for years.
New New York 9
Not a stone's throw farther up ... the towering white city of the new century.
From the point of view of the Jersey commuter ... some uncommon, weird effects 11
Swooping silently, confidently across from one city to the other 13
Looking up the East River from the Foot of Fifty-ninth Street 15
Even in sky-line he could find something new almost every week or two 17
The end of the day--looking back at Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge.
For the little scenes ... quaint and lovable, one goes down along the South Street water-front 19
Smacks and oyster-floats near Fulton Market.
This is the tired city's playground 21
Washington Bridge and the Speedway--Harlem River looking south.
Here is where the town ends, and the country begins 23
The Old and the New, from Lower New York across the Bridge to Brooklyn 24
From the top of the high building at Broadway and Pine Street.
The old town does not change so fast about its edges 25
... opposite the oval of the ancient Bowling Green 29
... immigrant hotels and homes 30
No. 1 Broadway 30
Lower Broadway during a parade 30
The beautiful spire of Trinity 31
... clattering, crowded, typical Broadway 32
City Hall with its grateful lack of height 33
What's the matter? 34
In the wake of a fire-engine 35
No longer to be thrilled ... will mean to be old 37
Grace Church spire becomes nearer 39
Through Union Square 40
... windows which draw women's heads around 41
Instead of buyers ... mostly shoppers 42
... crossing Fifth Avenue at Twenty-third Street 43
Madison Square with the sparkle of a clear ... October morning 44
In front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel 45
Diana on top glistening in the sun 46
Seeing the Avenue from a stage-top 47
... people go to the right, up Fifth Avenue 48
A seller of pencils 49
It is also better walking up here 50
... those who walk for the sake of walking 51
At the lower corner of the Waldorf-Astoria 52
... with baby-carriages 53
This is the region of Clubs 54
... close-ranked boarding-school squads 55
... the coachmen and footmen flock there 56
