On this page you will find the many nostalgia things in the area that surrounds New York City. It will also give sites that are of interest to other sections of the country. By the way, we New York Nostalgia Buffs are like nostalgia buffs throughout the country. We all have a lean toward our local area, and me, Alan G. Wasenius, I happen to have been born in Brooklyn and live on Long Island. If you are a nostalgia buff from another part of the world, that is okay. However, here are some places around the city and its area that may be of interest. They are listed by borough.
Brooklyn Save the Loew's Kings Theater
Queens Bring back the World's Fair
Buy a cheesecake from Manhattan or Brooklyn
Buy a Bagel
Learn to make a black and white cookie
Make an Egg Cream
Ride the trolleys again
Retake a ride on the subways
After you do that, maybe you can play a nice game of Stickball
If you want to see the whole city, then to it by boat on the Circle Line
What were the roads like when you were born? Historic Maps Here
What projects have I done lately? Here are some from a recent class
And before I forget;
Merry Christmas, Happy New York, and, if I'm not too late, Happy Hanukkah
I regret that I can't put everything on this page that everyone remembers, but you can have fun clicking on the links above with what I have. This page is for people who want to see the Big Apple of the past, which is, in many ways, still part of the present.
