At newyorkchanging.com you will find juxtaposed photographs of scenes in New York City from the 30s vs. modern day New York.

New York Changing, the current body of work by New York City photographer Douglas Levere, is a photographic record of the ever-changing landscape of New York City. Guided by Berenice Abbott�s 1930�s project Changing New York, Levere revisited neighborhoods and former storefronts, documenting the evolution of the metropolis known for constantly reinventing itself.

I like 1930s New York better, I have to say. Especially the shot from Pier 11. I think this is an awesome idea. When I visited St. Louis, they had a room in a museum that was nothing but old photos of the city around the museum from 50-100 years before. It was really interesting to see what had stayed.
