This old film that was posted to YouTube over the weekend is a fascinating look at what the city was like over 100 years ago.
The vintage footage, which has been set to a natural rate, is enhanced with some added realistic sound effects which makes for a pretty immersive experience. The footage starts off by showing some shots of a bustling South Street Seaport, and then proceeds to pan up to a just 20-year-old Brooklyn Bridge.
The footage also covers an open-air market, streets full of horses and carriages and even the old streetcar system that used to run up and down NYC’s streets. (And might soon start running again?)
