New York City is a place where in a moment one can easily experience the whimsical transformation from modern day skyscrapers and concrete paved sidewalks, to the old-world feeling of cobble stone walks. Where else can the serendipity of walking on an asphalt road and finding it melting into cobbled stone with old train tracks emerging from the ground be admired? Among all the towering constructions in the city, there are still places where one can immerse oneself to escape the fast moving micro world that those who live here call home. A place where it feels like the earth absorbed the tall buildings and left us with three story townhouses-; where there is no singular grid system and one can easily get lost in the narrow winding streets. One moment you are walking down the modern towering streets of Manhattan’s gleaming skyscrapers and then with the turn of the head, there it is, old New York, the seaport, the Woolworth building, Trinity Church, still in use and still vibrant. Even standing in downtown Brooklyn, where it feels like you are stuck in some unknown era, where time stops, you can glance across the river and see the magnificent skyline of Manhattan. You get stuck in a limbo in time; look down at your feet and you are standing on old train tracks, look up and at the blink of a second, you are transported back to the world of towering buildings glittering the against the sky.
