PAGE THE WATER-FRONT 1

THE WALK UP-TOWN 27

THE CROSS STREETS 63

RURAL NEW YORK CITY 99

PAGE Grant's Tomb and Riverside Drive 3

Down along the Battery sea-wall is the place to watch the ships go by 5

Old New Amsterdam 7

Just as it has been for years.

New New York 9

Not a stone's throw farther up ... the towering white city of the new century.

From the point of view of the Jersey commuter ... some uncommon, weird effects 11

Swooping silently, confidently across from one city to the other 13

Looking up the East River from the Foot of Fifty-ninth Street 15

Even in sky-line he could find something new almost every week or two 17

The end of the day--looking back at Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge.

For the little scenes ... quaint and lovable, one goes down along the South Street water-front 19

Smacks and oyster-floats near Fulton Market.

This is the tired city's playground 21

Washington Bridge and the Speedway--Harlem River looking south.

Here is where the town ends, and the country begins 23

The Old and the New, from Lower New York across the Bridge to Brooklyn 24

From the top of the high building at Broadway and Pine Street.

The old town does not change so fast about its edges 25

... opposite the oval of the ancient Bowling Green 29

... immigrant hotels and homes 30

No. 1 Broadway 30

Lower Broadway during a parade 30

The beautiful spire of Trinity 31

... clattering, crowded, typical Broadway 32

City Hall with its grateful lack of height 33

What's the matter? 34

In the wake of a fire-engine 35

No longer to be thrilled ... will mean to be old 37

Grace Church spire becomes nearer 39

Through Union Square 40

... windows which draw women's heads around 41

Instead of buyers ... mostly shoppers 42

... crossing Fifth Avenue at Twenty-third Street 43

Madison Square with the sparkle of a clear ... October morning 44

In front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel 45

Diana on top glistening in the sun 46

Seeing the Avenue from a stage-top 47

... people go to the right, up Fifth Avenue 48

A seller of pencils 49

It is also better walking up here 50

... those who walk for the sake of walking 51

At the lower corner of the Waldorf-Astoria 52

... with baby-carriages 53

This is the region of Clubs 54

... close-ranked boarding-school squads 55

... the coachmen and footmen flock there 56
