On Wednesday, Muslims all over the world marked the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, which requires them to abstain from eating or drinking anything from sunrise to sunset. The fasting takes discipline, especially if your job is to work the Halal truck and sit all day in an aluminum box, slapping pounds of […]
The annual Macy’s fireworks show took place last night and as much as we’d like for the department store chain to alternate the display between the Hudson River and East River — so Brooklyn doesn’t get jerked every year — holding the spectacle on Manhattan’s West Side certainly has its perks, especially when your offices […]

These are the people that make sure you get to work, safe and relatively on time. It was difficult to snap their portraits, as you may imagine, but I set up a stake-out around the Grand Central and Times Square stops this morning to bring you these photos of subway train conductors. Stand clear of […]

Here are some of those gates on the Bowery, from Houston Street to Grand Street. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in […]
