This is a picture of a Harlem street in the 90’s. I think this picture captures New York City very well. Anywhere you go, you can find something very similar. The bodega/deli is a really common phenomenon in the city, where people of all walks of life go.

This is a photo by Lewis Hine of 11 iron workers eating lunch. It is an emblematic photo that represents New York’s long history of labor. People during the 30’s, when it was taken, took great risks just to make end’s meet, and I think that is still true for many people, today. In addition, I have somewhat of a personal connection to this. This photo is commonly reprinted, and my grandparents have a copy of it in their house and have often told me how it reminds them of my great-grandfather,who was an ironworker.

This is a photograph entitled “Bryant Park Breadline” taken by Edward Steichen. Reminds all the people about inequality and social class stratification.
