Circa 1970. Foley Square. The 'Bridge of Sighs' linking the Criminal Court building (right) with the Tombs Prison, where prisoners are held before trial.
The bridge is so-called as it is the last look at the free world for convicted criminals before their sentence begins.

1982. 854 7th Avenue. The Carnegie Deli.
The restaurant's motto was: "If you can finish your meal, we've done something wrong." In addition to the large servings, the restaurant was also known for its surly waiters, who allegedly tried to impart some of the stereotypical gruffness of New York to visitors.
Opened in 1937 and Closed December 31, 2016.
