New Yorkin reissun (2006) kolmas matkapäivä joka oli myös vuoden viimeinen päivä toi muassaan kuumeen. Kävin päivällä syömässä lounaan ja hakemassa apteekista jotain troppeja sekä lähikaupasta juomista ja syötävää. Tuolla reissulla menin luistinradan ohi ja samalla otin kirkasta taivasta vasten kuvan pilvenpiirtäjästä. Myös goottimainen kadetraali sattui hotellin ja apteekin välille.

Otin illalla sen verran särkylääkettä, että kuume laski ja kävelin keskuspuiston laidalle katsomaan miltä uuden vuoden vietto New Yorkissa näyttää.

Hieman epätarkka kuva New Yorkin keskuspuiston laidalla olevasta kadusta uudenvuoden yönä. Katu on suljettu liikenteeltä ja se on täynnä ihmisiä. Kuvan laidassa olevassa valaisinpylväässä on iso kyltti jossa on bussin kuva ja lukee "no Engine idling max fine $2000 NYCT".

Uusgoottilaista arkkitehtuuria edustavan New Yorkin Pyhän Patrikin tuomiokirkon sisäänkäynnin puoleinen seinä. Keskimmäisen oviaukon päällä on suuri vihreä seppele jonka päällä on punainen rusetti. Kirkosta tulee ihmisiä ulos ja yksinäinen poliisi näprää puhelinta pääoven vierellä. Edustalla olevalla kadulla näkyy puoliksi keltainen taksi ja ihmisiä kulkemassa ja poseeramassa matkakumppaneilleen.

Korkea pilvenpiirtäjä yläviistoon kuvattuna. Rakennus on vaalea ja se on sinistä taivasta vasten. Puistopuun oksat joiden ympärille on kieputettu jouluvaloja peittää pilvenpiirtäjän osittain.

Rockefeller Centerin luistelukaukalo Kaukalo on montussa ja siellä on useita ihmisiä luistelemassa. Montun ympäri kiertää lipputanoja joissa on punaisia, vihreitä ja valkoisia lippuja. Kuvan oikeassa laidassa on nähtävissä lipputankojen takana osa suuresta valaistusta joulukuusesta ja taempana näkyy rakennuksia, joista yhden kyljessä lukee NBC News.

The image depicts a classic black and white photograph of an outdoor ice skating rink during the holiday season. A large, beautifully decorated Christmas tree stands as a central focal point in the background with numerous ornaments dangling from its branches. The tree is adorned at its base by what appears to be garland or wreaths that wrap around it.

In front of this festive display, several individuals are engaged in ice skating on an expansive rink covered with snow and icicles visible hanging down onto the surface. Among these skaters, we can observe a variety of people dressed in winter clothing suitable for such activity. Some wear coats while others have their arms wrapped up against the cold weather.

The background shows tall buildings that suggest this scene takes place within an urban setting or possibly near well-known landmarks like Rockefeller Center based on additional information provided about it being taken from there during December 9, 1943, by Gottscho-Schleisner. The overall atmosphere is lively and festive with the Christmas tree contributing to a sense of joyous celebration typical for that time of year.

The image captures an enchanting moment in history where people come together at this famous location to enjoy ice skating amidst holiday decorations symbolizing unity during winter holidays while also reflecting on its rich cultural significance.

The image depicts a black and white photograph of an elegantly set dining table on what appears to be the terrace or balcony of a high-rise building. The view from this vantage point showcases several iconic structures, including the Empire State Building in the distance, indicating that the scene is likely located within New York City.

In the foreground, we see a rectangular wooden table surrounded by six chairs with leather upholstery and metal accents. On the tabletop, there are neatly arranged place settings for four individuals, featuring glassware, silverware, folded napkins, and plates suggestive of an upcoming formal meal or gathering.

The backdrop reveals large windows that frame expansive views beyond the cityscape, adding a sense of openness to the indoor setting. The overall atmosphere exudes sophistication and exclusivity associated with high-end dining establishments in New York City's Rockefeller Center vicinity during 1949.

The image depicts an old-fashioned soda fountain, likely from the 1940s era given its style and technology. The setting appears to be a retro diner or restaurant with various equipment such as ice cream machines labeled "ICE CREAM," cash registers, dispensers for different beverages like milkshake syrup (labeled "MILKSHAKE SYRUP"), and numerous condiments on shelves.
The counters are equipped with taps presumably for serving drinks, likely water fountains given the context. The photograph is in black and white, suggesting it's a historical snapshot capturing this bygone era of beverage service.
This image serves as an example from Schrafft's establishment located within the Esso Building at Rockefeller Center in New York City during July 13th, 1948. It was documented or photographed by Gottscho-Schleisner Inc., a company known for its photographic documentation of American life and architecture.
The photograph is noted to be one negative with dimensions specified as safety size (presumably the common film sizes used in historical photography), measuring at approximately 5x7 inches, making it relatively large for that era.

The image depicts a vintage potato peeler, likely from the 1948 period as indicated by the caption. The machine appears to be made of metal and is situated outdoors on what looks like an industrial or commercial site. On top of the device sits a large sack filled with potatoes which are presumably being prepared for processing through the peeling mechanism.

The potato peeler itself has various components including knobs, levers, and possibly a hopper where potatoes would be loaded into the machine before they reach the peeling section below. There's also a visible electrical control box or switch on one side of the unit which suggests it operates via electricity rather than manual power.

Additional objects in close proximity include what seems to be an industrial sink or basin, and possibly part of another piece of machinery with various pipes and conduits connected to this potato peeler device. The environment appears utilitarian without any decorative elements, suggesting a focus on function over form for the equipment depicted here.

Overall, it's clear that the image is from Gottscho-Schleisner, Inc., who seems to be responsible for documenting or preserving industrial artifacts as evidenced by their watermark in this specific photograph.

The image depicts a vintage, monochromatic photograph of an industrial kitchen or brewing facility. It shows several large stainless steel vessels lined up against the wall with various pipes and fittings attached to them. The containers are likely used for fermentation processes in food production, such as beer making.

Above these vessels is what appears to be a metal exhaust hood designed to capture odors and heat generated during cooking or processing. On the left side of the image stands a rectangular stainless steel table or prep area with several smaller items on top that seem out of focus due to their distance from the camera lens.

The setting has an industrial, utilitarian feel with bare walls, visible pipes running along them, and a nondescript floor. The overall ambiance suggests this photograph might be documenting early 20th-century commercial food preparation methods or brewing techniques used during that time period in New York City's Rockefeller Center complex as mentioned in the caption.

The black-and-white nature of the image adds to its vintage appeal, providing an insight into how such facilities were constructed and operated more than seven decades ago.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an indoor setting, likely from the 1948 period given its vintage quality. It shows several individuals wearing what appear to be white uniforms or aprons indicative of food service staff, engaged in various tasks at stainless steel tables that are laden with stacks of dishes such as plates and bowls.

The environment suggests a professional kitchen setup, possibly within an institutional setting like a hospital or large office cafeteria, due to the presence of multiple workers. The walls have reflective surfaces which could be metal cladding common in commercial kitchens for easy cleaning, and there's visible shelving on one side stacked with more dishware indicating high-volume production.

The staff members are busy at their tasks; some appear to be washing dishes or arranging them neatly while others might be involved in other food preparation activities.
