On Thursday I will be heading to NYC for the weekend with my husband for a big German event called the “Steuben Parade” that we happen to be participates in. It’s going to be an amazing experience and I cannot wait and I also cannot wait to go back to one of my favorite cities in the world, NYC. I love this city so very much and every time I set foot in it, I feel like I’m at home.

So while I pack for the city that never sleeps I thought I would share some cool vintage photos I found online of NYC. Enjoy!

Vintage Photos of New York City

1940’s vintage photo of a New York City Street in 1941.

As a Lindy Hopper I love this picture “Dancing Girls in Harlem 1938”.

Penn Station 1940’s. How romantic is this hello or goodbye? I think it’s a Goodbye.

1940s vintage photo of a stylish woman walking down a NYC street in 1940s clothing. Love the look of the girl on the side with that Snood? Fantastic!

Since the weather just may be somewhat nice this weekend, I think I could totally pull this off…if I had the clothes that is:)

A pretty young woman in the 1940s sitting on the famous stoops of New York. Isn’t she gorgeous??

What movie star is this? Let me know in the comments section below. ANSWER: Lizabeth Scott

I love everything about this photo-1950s vintage photo of women waiting to go into a photobooth.

Further Reading:

The Famous Cotton Club.

The Famous Savoy Ballroom (I have been to the plaque that now stands where the hall once stood, see the next image).

Time Square 1938.

“Skycrapers of New York City” vintage postcard. I adore Art Deco architecture and New York City has plenty of it.

Lastly I will leave you with one of my favorite musicals and scenes from that musical “On the Town – New York, New York”.
