This is silent (no audio) 16mm amateur home movie footage taken back in 1957 in New York's Times Square at night. You get to see a lot of the famous electric ...
This actually made me cry - it's a glimpse of a New York City we'll never
see again. Did Times Square ever actually look this exciting, this shiny,
this gloriously gaudy - this UNIQUELY New York/American? Today, you could
be in Times Square, or in Beijing, or Los Angeles, or London - all those
flat screen, digital billboards are so homogenized. No character
whatsoever. Loved every second of this.
If you had`nt posted this film on Utube, you should have it archived in
some museum, I`ve never seen such beautiful views of Times Square taken
like this and at night from back in the day, and with such expert
remastering. Thank you, and just like the other person .saidf in his
posting, I loved every minute of it. thank you,
Thanks for this. I first saw Times Square in 1959. I would stand across the
street from the Pepsi sign and feel the mist from the waterfall on my face.
Every time I would go back to NYC, the square had declined in appearance.
It was a magic place back in '59.
It still looked a lot like this when I was a kid, I remember the smoking
cigarette adds from watching New Years Eve celebrations on TV in the mid to
late 70s and most of the signs were still neon at that time.
I lol'd hard at the smoking camel sign. I wish I was around for when we
weren't such complete pussies. WTF happened to NY ffs? They used to have
balls until the 80's then they got softer than a babies ass.
Simply amazing, I would kill to live in the 50's. And omg there's smoking
signs.. wow lol man If i could be born anytime i would want to be born in
1942.. you know so i could be a teen in the 50's :p
Too much information man. :) But I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm actually
returning to NYC this month to take my wife. Her family came through Ellis
Island at the turn of the 20th century, so I'd like to take her to that
plaque..and of course let her try that sandwich. Gonna head over to some
new places (Lombardi's for example) so stay tuned!
Too much information? What are you talking about? You said the sandwich was
salty and I like salty food. I don't get it. Or was it that my partner is
from Brooklyn?? I'm hoping that your comment isn't homophobic related as I
actually enjoyed a few of your videos....
@MRX01x who cares about the looks! it's all about the FOOD! When I think of
food in the Netherlands, I think of sausages, pastries, and exotic cheeses.
I'd love to see some authentic local Dutch cuisine. :(
Brennan & Carr has the best roast beef sandwich with broth. I usually have
double-dip. Katz has the best pastrami sandwich ever. And you can stop by
Russ&Daughters for some salmon bagel.
