New York City has changed a lot and we're more nostalgic now than ever. Since then, it's only grown. The towers are taller and tighter close together, there's more people than ever before, and billboards sweep across the city's buildings. But there's also a good deal about it that has stayed the same: you can still make out at South Street Seaport like Alvie and Annie or get a foodgasm at Katz Deli. It still rules.
