Lovely series of photos of New York City, mostly from the 1940s, some from the 60s.

Amateur photographer Charles W. Cushman traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad capturing daily life from 1938 to 1969.
His works have been donated to and maintained by Cushman's alma mater Indiana University, which has kindly given us permission to publish his gallery of New York City photos taken in 1941, 1942 and 1960.

A real "wow!" post by Scouting New York on getting a tour of Manhattan's 5 Beekman Street, boarded up for decades. Click through for stunning photos.

In 1940, the atrium was boarded up due to firecode violations. Completely hidden, later tenants would never know of its existence, seeing only a walled corridor (though according to a recent NY Times article, a secret door offered those who stumbled upon it an amazing discovery).

Another fascinating New York Magazine article, showing that 1 out 2 apartments in Manhattan are occupied by singles ...and that their occupants are not lonely or alienated.

Manhattan is the capital of people living by themselves. But are New Yorkers lonelier? Far from it, say a new breed of loneliness researchers, who argue that urban alienation is largely a myth.
