I grew up in New York City, and I feel fortunate to have called it home. While this video depicts NYC 38 years ago, Manhattan and its boroughs are very similar today than they were back then.
Sadly, the glorious Twin Towers seen in lower Manhattan here are long gone since the devastating attacks on our city on September 11, 2001. But, like the New Yorkers who call it home, New York has bounced back and Freedom Tower stands tall at the southern tip of our gleaming island of glass and steal.
This video is a nostalgic look back at a New York we used to know. It was vibrant, brash, bold, cluttered, and beautiful. Today's city remains mostly the same except for new buildings that have risen since then. We also have new baseball stadiums in Queens and the Bronx (both worth a visit). Despite everything that has changed since this video was made, New York City is still our shining gem welcoming all visitors with a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty in our beautiful harbor.
So, enjoy this look back at the way New York City used to be. It was and is the City That Never Sleeps, the Big Apple, and a destination that is like no place else on Earth.
