These amazing shots of Times Square Looking North and South where captured, circa 1954 I’m always so fascinated by the colours of the 50’s.

I love this shot of Park Avenue looking south from 1075 park avenue at east 88th street captured back in 1941.

Ice skaters in Central Park are looked down on from the top of the Savoy Plaza Hotel at 59th St. and Fifth Ave. This amazing shot was captured back in 1944 - Electric carts are replaced with horses today. There’s certainly a LOT less people down there too. #nyc #newyork #oldnewyork #old #travel #love #instagood #photooftheday #fashion #beautifulworld #happy #cute #tbt #history #photography #picoftheday #follow #me #selfie #explore #art #instadaily #friends #blackandwhite #nature #architecture #instamood #style #smile #food (at Central Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cglj7MLAdXz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Madison Square Garden under construction back in 1966. Two venues called Madison Square Garden were located just northeast of the square, the first from 1879 to 1890, and the second from 1890 to 1925. The first Garden had no roof and was inconvenient to use during inclement weather, so it was demolished after 11 years. Madison Square Garden II was unsuccessful like the first Garden, and the New York Life Insurance Company, which held the mortgage on it, decided to tear it down in 1925. A third Madison Square Garden opened in a new location, on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets, from 1925 to 1968. The fourth and current Madison Square Garden opened in 1968, after Irving Mitchell Felt, who purchased the air rights from the Pennsylvania Railroad, tore down the above-ground portions of the original Pennsylvania Station. - It was originally named after James Madison, the fourth President of the United States. - - #nyc #newyork #oldnewyork #old #travel #love #instagood #photooftheday #fashion #beautifulworld #happy #cute #tbt #history #photography #picoftheday #follow #me #selfie #explore #art #instadaily #friends #blackandwhite #nature #architecture #instamood #style #smile #food (at Madison Square Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgljlpBAVGm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another spectacular shot showing the towers of the 1940’s downtown skyline. You’ve got 70 Pine in the middle, built in 1931. 40 Wall Street to its right, built in 1930. And of course not forgetting 20 Exchange Place on the left, built in 1931. Then we have the masterpiece of any downtown skyline shot, The Brooklyn Bridge, construction started in 1869 and was completed fourteen years later in 1883. Did you know It was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and the East River Bridge? Thankfully it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge - the other name doesn’t roll off the tongue so easy does it? Do you recognise anything else? - - #nyc #newyork #oldnewyork #old #travel #love #instagood #photooftheday #fashion #beautifulworld #happy #cute #tbt #history #photography #picoftheday #follow #me #selfie #explore #art #instadaily #friends #blackandwhite #nature #architecture #instamood #style #smile #food (at Downtown-NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYHLYt6IxPW/?utm_medium=tumblr

The area formerly known as Longacre Square became Times Square after the New York Times opened their iconic flagship office building in 1905 at what would become known as “the crossroads of the world,” the southern end of Times Square, the triangular intersection of 42nd and 43rd streets where Broadway and Seventh Avenue diverge - - #nyc #newyork #oldnewyork #old #travel #love #instagood #photooftheday #fashion #beautifulworld #happy #cute #tbt #history #photography #picoftheday #follow #me #selfie #explore #art #instadaily #friends #blackandwhite #nature #architecture #instamood #style #smile #food (at Times Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYHKwi0ogbF/?utm_medium=tumblr

1904 - Longacre Square, soon to be renamed Times Square after the triangular NY Times Building that was just completed at the south end on the plaza.

The photographer of this iconic shot was never really known, it was credited to a few different men. it was finally credited to Charles C. Ebbets in 2003 (first pictured photographer) Here’s a few pictures of other photographers capturing moments that we still marvel over to this day. #nyc #newyork #love #newyorkcity #instagood #photography #art #style #manhattan #photooftheday #travel #beautiful #city #throwback #picoftheday #beauty #fitness #usa #ny #ootd #streetstyle #brooklyn #instadaily #love #music #old #construction #lifestyle #instagram #fashion (at Rockefeller Center New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYBc9JQL4u4/?utm_medium=tumblr

This has to be one of the most stunning shots I’ve seen in a while. Isn’t it amazing…. I can’t find who took this shot to give them credit, so please mention them if you see the original on here somewhere, I will do the same 👍 - - #nyc #newyork #oldnewyork #old #travel #love #instagood #photooftheday #fashion #beautifulworld #happy #cute #tbt #history #photography #picoftheday #follow #me #selfie #explore #art #instadaily #friends #blackandwhite #nature #architecture #instamood #style #smile #food (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/mandanyc/p/CXiRTjfAGjG/?utm_medium=tumblr
