  • Workers at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall perform their daily ritual of setting up tables before opening.

  • A statue of the Virgin Mary plays sentinel in front of the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus located only a few blocks from the 96th street station.

  • New York City residents hustle in front of Gray’s Papaya, most of whom remain unmoved by Gray’s “Recession Special”.

  • Barney Greengrass Restaurant workers prepare orders for Yom Kippur weekend.

  • Near Westside Restaurant, which is located on a busy street corner, the energies of Manhattan as traffic, cuisine and citizens converge.
