New Yorker Meredith Jacobson Marciano has amassed archive of 35mm film shots, Polaroids and early digital photographs in NYC from the mid to late 1970s through the early aughts, “when the city still seemed kind of old”. Much like with Peter Marshall’s pictures of London, Meredith shows us places now done we were used to seeing every day. These pictures are from from 1997 as she strolled around the city…

The last of the old TRIBECA and some Wall St area, many of these old shops and restaurants were either already closed or soon to, awaiting the new shiny glass buildings that would replace them.
