Recently came across a thread from a few years ago and dove into a rabbit hole of cool stuff Manhattan and the other boroughs have that’s just around and show parts of history.
Example the fallout shelter signs you see around are from the Cold War.
Or the owl statues with eyes that light up in Herald Square, a cool little feature.
Or the 23 Wall Street bomb marks from 1920 that are still there, in what was the JPMorgan building at the time.
Stuff like that. Post it here, I love this stuff
