George Steinmetz's arresting images of New York City from above will be on display at the Anastasia Photo gallery in New York City from November 3–January 9, 2016. An accompanying book captures the skyline and waterfront landscape, dazzling contemporary architecture and historic buildings—along with parks and streets and rooftops. At twilight, Manhattan resembles a vast living organism with ribbons of energy pulsing through its streets and up into its hundred thousand buildings.

Moviegoers enjoying Saturday Night Fever on the lawn in Bryant Park at the HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival are probably not reflecting on the long history of this plot, behind the New York Public Library on West 42nd Street. In the 1820s and 1830s, it was the city’s potter’s field, which was moved to Randalls Island in 1840 and then to Hart Island. It became a park in 1847, and hosted the city’s first world’s fair six years later.
