It’s this time of the year of  intense colours,  the low warm ray of the sun streaking in jagged beams through windows, leaves and parks. The air humid and with a cool chill to the skin, the silence only broken by the bristle sound of beechnuts, acorns and chestnuts breaking the first fry leaves on the forest floor.

Bliss.

“The Mannahatta Project is an interactive map of Manhattan as it appeared in 1609, indexed by streets. You can enter a landmark name or address and zoom into your favorite New York neighborhood as it appeared in a more primeval time. Shown here, the site of the iconic Flatiron Building: 23rd and 5th.”
