Awesome collection of YouTube clips documenting old and very old New York City stuff. The films of trips across the bridges circa 1900 fascinate me. Via Kottke.org

That is pretty cool. I am obsessed with this old photo blog: http://www.shorpy.com/
They have this great photo of the Williamsburg Bridge from 1903 as well as some other great photos from areas like the LES and Hell’s Kitchen.

You can get the originals from the Library of Congress “American Memory” collection as higher-res Quicktime. Just search for “Edison New York”.
