I always like to spend time on the waterfront as well. I think the waterfront is the biggest aspect of New York, even more than skyscrapers. It varies, be it river,
ocean, or creek, but the city is surrounded by water. So I wanted to show this other side to the city.
Here are a few of my own photos from the
Coney Island redevelopment thread, probably the city's best known waterfront community.
