MANHATTAN STREET CORNERS

A surprisingly engaging collection of photos of street corners - 11,000 of them!

Richard Howe - THE MANHATTAN STREET CORNERS

"Manhattan’s street corners are our village squares. Almost anything that takes us out into the public space of our neighborhoods will take us to or through at least one street corner. Street corners are where we go whenever we go out to buy groceries, do laundry, see a movie, go to church, catch a bus, eat out, visit a friend, get a paper, go to school, get a haircut, find a taxi, have our nails done, go to work, take a walk, come back home. Jane Jacob’s human comedy of the urban street reaches its pinnacle on Manhattan’s street corners."

Above is the building in Chelsea where we rented an apartment recently.
