...the lights in the city turn on. Two more from the same lower east side apartment as the previous post's: First, looking northeast towards the Upper East Side and the 59th Street Bridge. Next, looking southwest towards the city hall / financial district.

Interiors of some of the vintage subway cars on display at the New York City Transit Museum. The museum is in an abandoned subway station at Court Street, Brooklyn.
