Seroy.com
This is the website of a general contractor who lives and works in northern Manhattan. It is at once a commercial site and a remarkable photo gallery of the public spaces and residential buildings of the Hudson Heights/Inwood neighborhood. The love that Dave Seroy has for the Art Deco style of domestic architecture that prevails in the area is apparent in his photography.

Society for the Preservation of New York City Manhole Covers
New York streets are, among many things, a museum of historic manhole covers. The society for the Preservation of New York City Manhole Covers (SPNYCMC) was established to raise awareness of these industrial artifacts and to work for their Landmark status. The city's historic covers are fast disappearing, often scrapped or buried under concrete during road work.
