1940s NYC

Julien Boilen’s 1940s NYC, which links points on a map to their WPA tax photographs in the New York City Municipal Archives, now accepts stories about NYC addresses from readers. I’ve been adding bits from my Sunday tax-photograph posts. I think it’s a great way to make the past present.

My favorite thing that someone else has found: 384 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, home of Freitag the Delicatessen’s. That’s the way they said it on The Honeymooners.
