New York movies: The 100 best films set in New York City
From King Kong's spire down to the scummiest subway tunnel, Time Out New York ranks the definitive list of the 100 best New York movies: crime dramas, romantic comedies, documentaries and more
Paradise and prison, bustling metropolis and the loneliest place on earth: New York City has a cinematic identity that infuses all walks of life. Even as we write our own narratives in this most famous of locations, we walk alongside fictional characters (and sometimes real ones, too, if we're lucky).
In selecting the 100 most essential New York movies, we kept the city's boldness in mind. Time Out New York Film staffers David Fear, Joshua Rothkopf and Keith Uhlich teamed up with movie experts Stephen Garrett and Alison Willmore to gather titles from all genres and eras—the widely known and the obscure—in pursuit of a complete picture of NYC on film.
Our only parameter: The movie had to be set in New York City, not Metropolis (sorry, Superman fans), Oz (ditto, you Wiz diehards), nor anywhere else. Dive in, jostle politely, find your seat or ride standing: Please tell us what we've missed. It's a big town. Do you want more great stories about things to do, where to eat, what to watch, and where to party? Obviously you do, follow Time Out New York on Facebook for the good stuff.
More funny than scary, this schlock-horror Z flick articulates a primal NYC fear harbored by anyone who's ever peered down a sewer grate: Who (or what) is living below? Not the homeless, not alligators, but cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers. As the poster of a shimmering Manhattan skyline warned, "They're not staying down there, anymore!"—Joshua Rothkopf

Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! (2006)
An essential New York band plays a landmark NYC venue (MSG) as 50 fans capture the event for posterity; only the Beastie Boys could turn a crowdsourced concert movie into a time capsule, a tour of the city's musical styles (hip-hop, punk, Latin funk) and a tribute to the power of Gotham's DIY spirit. RIP, MCA.—David Fear
Black and White (1999)
James Toback's giddy ensemble drama transforms the city into an urban playground where rich white kids play-act ghetto fabulousness, criminals consort with moguls and Brooke Shields sports dreadlocks. It's a bold think piece on the malleability of class and race in NYC, spiced with the single most sizzling sex scene ever set in Central Park.—David Fear

Hi, Mom! (1970)
Brian De Palma's darker-than-dark comedy stars Robert De Niro as a XXX-rated filmmaker wanna-be who peeps on his neighbors. The no-budget film captures porn-theater-era New York at its seediest; it also features an astonishing sequence satirizing downtown experimental theater, in which a white-bread audience is viciously humiliated (and they love it).—Keith Uhlich
God Told Me To (1976)
Larry Cohen's sci-fi chiller about a detective investigating murderers who claim to be carrying out God's will is the surreal B-side to Taxi Driver: a nightmare vision of the city's repressed rage that starts with cameoing Andy Kaufman gunning down the St. Patrick's Day parade and ends with our hero becoming what he was trying to stop.—Alison Willmore

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Stanley Kubrick's polarizing swan song takes place in a Manhattan of the mind, specifically the sexually frustrated brain stem of Tom Cruise's upper-crust physician. The film's fantasy Greenwich Village, populated by taunting fratboys, a hard-sell hooker and a Lolita-like teen is especially weird—and disquieting.—Keith Uhlich

Wolfen (1981)
Long before it was cool to go green, Woodstock director Michael Wadleigh helmed this environmentally conscious (though still pretty damned scary) werewolf movie. The South Bronx provides some memorably decayed, practically postapocalyptic terrain, and a number of vertigo-inducing scenes are shot atop the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.—Keith Uhlich

Man Push Cart (2005)
Indie filmmaker Ramin Bahrani provides an eloquent, empathetic backstory to a pushcart vendor so street-corner standard, he's all but invisible to passersby. Bahrani explores the fictional man's past as a Pakistani rock star and his lonely, lowly present in a New York that's both beautiful and coolly indifferent to his Sisyphean struggle.—Alison Willmore

Hamlet (2000)
Michael Almereyda transposes William Shakespeare's seminal tragedy to the world of high finance as Ethan Hawke's brooding prince goes up against his slick CEO stepfather. The modern-day setting—moving from grungy streets to antiseptic boardrooms and even that cylindrical mousetrap the Guggenheim—adds thematic heft to the greatest of all plays.—Keith Uhlich

Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Filmed at the peak of Hollywood's political paranoia, this CIA thriller captures a tense, spy-saturated NYC that would reappear in The Bourne Ultimatum. Choice local touches include Robert Redford's clandestine office on 77th Street at Madison, a quiet Brooklyn Heights getaway (occupied by sultry Faye Dunaway) and a WTC window overlooking the intrigue.—Joshua Rothkopf

The Last Days of Disco (1998)
Set in the "very early 1980s," Whit Stillman's evocation of a dying Manhattan nightlife brings back the coke-laced dance palaces—including a club similar to Studio 54—and the desperation that would have the party go on forever. Another old-NYC gesture: Our young heroines, Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale, are up-and-coming editors at a publishing house. Today they'd be bloggers.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Blank Generation (1976)
The definitive visual document of the early CBGB scene, Amos Poe and Ivan Král's out-of-sync home movie captures a who's who of NYC musical royalty—Tom Verlaine, David Byrne, the Ramones—as they plant the seeds of punk rock. It's a perfect encapsulation of the moment when downtown found its sound: rough, raw and revolutionary.—David Fear
Hester Street (1975)
Joan Micklin Silver's tribute to Jewish-diaspora life in the 1890s makes you feel as if you've stepped through a time portal. Her black-and-white re-creations of the avenues where an insulated community tried to assimilate to its new home bridges the gap between New York's history and its present—an immigrant song straight from our city's heart.—David Fear

King Kong (1976)
Dino De Laurentiis's lascivious production infuses the animal magnetism of the 1933 original with a pervy sensibility (the overgrown primate literally fingers a visibly aroused Jessica Lange). And with a double phallus like the World Trade Center as a final setting, there's no better city for a big ape to be a swinger.—Stephen Garrett

Summer of Sam (1999)
The Bronx represents in Spike Lee's ominous reconstruction of the 1977 David Berkowitz serial-killer panic, taking root in a city plagued by blackouts, racial tensions and—vividly rendered—a sweltering, inescapable heat. Lee imparts a hometown boy's feel for pizzerias, hair salons and punk clubs (including the departed CBGB).—Joshua Rothkopf
The Hunger (1983)
This sexy vampire tale takes place mostly in a ridiculous realm of spacious townhouses filled with smoke and coffins. But we include it for its opening scene alone: Bloodsuckers David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve prowl a sweaty, downtown nightclub for sweet young things, while Bauhaus pounds through its classic "Bela Lugosi's Dead." It's a goth NYC we remember with a tear.—Joshua Rothkopf

Smithereens (1982)
The poverty chic of the early-'80s Lower East Side is romanticized these days, but Susan Seidelman's drama drops its art-world-wanna-be heroine into an LES full of self-centered dilettantes, obnoxious opportunists and predatory perverts. It's a snapshot of an era that doubles as its own epitaph, one that smashes hipster nostalgia into shards.—David Fear

Rear Window (1954)
The iconic Greenwich Village courtyard over which a convalescing Jimmy Stewart looks out and spots something he wasn't meant to see perfectly encapsulates the subjective blindness that allows New Yorkers to lead parallel lives in such close quarters. Hitchcock's thriller also captures what it takes to bring those imaginary boundaries crashing down.—Alison Willmore

Little Murders (1971)
Adapting Jules Feiffer's Obie-winning play for the screen, director Alan Arkin (yes, that Alan Arkin) steers Elliott Gould through a metropolis where random shootings are the norm and there's a heavy breather on the end of every phone line. Welcome to Horror City '71, where every day is an endless absurdist farce.—David Fear
Dressed to Kill (1980)
New York City becomes a bored housewife's erotic playground in Brian De Palma's funny, suspenseful chiller. A luscious Angie Dickinson wanders through the Metropolitan Museum in pursuit of a flirty stranger (a quickie in a cab follows). Later, inquisitive hooker Nancy Allen shares a too revealing lunch with übernerd Keith Gordon at WTC's Windows on the World.—Keith Uhlich

Big (1988)
A 12-year-old boy makes a wish and wakes up as 30-year-old Tom Hanks (though still with a child's mind). Off to the big city he goes, where he turns a Grand Street apartment into a tween's paradise (trampoline!) and, most memorably, plays "Heart and Soul" on a foot-operated keyboard at FAO Schwarz.—Keith Uhlich

All About Eve (1950)
Joseph L. Mankiewicz's peerless backstage Broadway drama uses the bright lights of the Theater District to illuminate a Darwinian world of competition, insecurity and backstabbing—one in which the fan waiting in the alleyway for a chance to meet the star would just as eagerly devour her and take her place as the lead. Not much has changed.—Alison Willmore

Fort Apache the Bronx (1981)
Subversively, this police thriller is actually a lurid NYC Western that recasts the cops as the cavalry fighting in "a hostile territory." (The producers later added an apologetic disclaimer.) But seen today, this Paul Newman vehicle offers a period-piece Polaroid of a borough that was struggling to shake off its reputation as a crime-ridden cesspool.—David Fear
Cruising (1980)
Once protested by the gay community, William Friedkin's thriller serves as an unintended snapshot of a narrow slice of the pre-AIDS Village scene, with sequences filmed at the legendary leather club Hellfire. Al Pacino serves as the audience's enigmatic window onto S&M culture, playing an undercover cop who may be repelled by (or drawn to) everything he's seeing.—Alison Willmore

Two Lovers (2008)
Disparities of class and temperament are keenly observed in James Gray's underseen NYC drama, starring a pre-freakout Joaquin Phoenix (never better) as a suicidal Brighton Beach bachelor living with his worried parents. With the arrival of an alluring neighbor with expensive tastes (Gwyneth Paltrow), the movie sets off for swanky midtown locations—and a cautionary shiska romance.—Joshua Rothkopf

The Cool World (1964)
Taking her camera into Harlem's streets, independent filmmaker Shirley Clarke (The Connection) turned a story about a tough kid looking to move up a local gang's hierarchy into a vérité-like view of the neighborhood itself. Few films have captured the area (circa the mid-'60s) with such a keen journalistic eye.—David FearRead more
Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994)
The Jazz Age comes to thrilling life in Alan Rudolph's ensemble drama about caustic wit Dorothy Parker. Among the many triumphs of this lovingly detailed period piece are the sequences set at the Algonquin Hotel, where the gabsters gossip around the most famous table since King Arthur and his knights.—Keith Uhlich
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Darren Aronofsky's unsparing adaptation of Hubert Selby Jr.'s rough-edged tale of drug addiction finds seedy poetry in its Brooklyn locales: Brighton Beach has seldom seemed so hellishly sunbaked, Coney Island so unbearably decrepit and the Atlantic Ocean—an alluring nirvana—so entirely out of reach.—Keith Uhlich

Bad Lieutenant (1992)
Junkie officer Harvey Keitel shakes down punks for stolen cash, sexually harasses teen drivers and just can't understand why that raped nun forgives her attackers. Abel Ferrara's incendiary look at a corrupt cop's Catholic guilt is consummate art-house grindhouse, typifying New York's wide appetite for cathartic highbrow cinema and Times Square raunch alike.—Stephen Garrett

The Landlord (1970)
A spoiled Manhattan WASP (Beau Bridges) buys a Brooklyn tenement and learns some hard (but hilarious) life lessons from his primarily black tenants. Director Hal Ashby, making his feature debut, vividly captures the rough-and-tumble neighborhood that was Park Slope, long before it became stroller-mom central.—Keith Uhlich
Black Swan (2010)
Technically dazzling but emotionally brittle NYC dancer Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) becomes Swan Lake's prima ballerina, but repressed passions sabotage her sanity—until they become a font of inspiration. Darren Aronofsky turns Lincoln Center's rarefied campus into a Grand Guignol of power, lust and ambition, all in the name of artistic perfection.—Stephen Garrett
Downtown 81 (1981)
It's a day in the life of Jean-Michel Basquiat, as the street artist is evicted, sells a canvas to a rich uptowner and hangs out at the Mudd Club. Rife with heavy-hitter cameos—Fab 5 Freddy, Glenn O'Brien, Debbie Harry—this scrapbook nails the moment when the punk, hip-hop and art worlds coalesced into a single scene.—David Fear
Death Wish (1974)
A brutal NYC classic (one its star, Charles Bronson, had an uneasy time defending), this vigilante thriller crystallized the dangerous Beame-era Manhattan in the minds of millions. The pivotal scene goes down on a grungy subway car, where a furious Upper West Sider takes nickel-plated, .32-caliber vengeance on a pair of hapless muggers. Life would imitate art.—Joshua Rothkopf

Paris Is Burning (1990)
"Looking head to toe, would you know?" Drag queens in Harlem and the Bronx form gay street gangs (and surrogate families) on the ball circuit, where outsize personalities like Venus Xtravaganza compete based on the "realness" of their mock-straight sartorial splendor. Jennie Livingston's essential gender-reinvention documentary brilliantly extols the city's outcast resilience.—Stephen Garrett

Broadway Danny Rose (1984)
Don't worry—you'll be seeing plenty more Woody on this list. This comedy, starring a transformed Mia Farrow as an Italian mob widow, deserves promotion from minor to major. Bookended by coffee klatches in the landmark Carnegie Deli, the b&w lark also touches down on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (Underdog float!).—Joshua Rothkopf
Speedy (1928)
Silent icon Harold Lloyd epitomizes Gotham's scrappy go-getters as Harold "Speedy" Swift, who fights to save the city's last horsecar from merger-happy street rail men. Lloyd's laffer also boasts thrilling on-location tours of a bygone New York—particularly when the multihyphenate takes Babe Ruth on a high-octane taxi ride to the Bronx's Yankee Stadium.—Stephen Garrett
Super Fly (1972)
Drug-dealing Priest (Ron O'Neal) schemes to retire early, provided he can outwit the Man. Harlem never looked so gritty and pushers so suave as in this classic from blaxploitation scion Gordon Parks Jr. A dope soundtrack, courtesy of Curtis Mayfield, and that customized Cadillac Eldorado don't hurt, either.—Stephen Garrett

On the Bowery (1956)
Lionel Rogosin spent months pounding the pavement before he began filming this singular docu-narrative hybrid, which cobbles together a skeleton of a story to unite the neighborhood's lushes and lost boys (one of whom died only weeks after the premiere). The result is a bleary portrait of the city's Skid Row.—Alison Willmore

Regeneration (1915)
Raoul Walsh's silent tale of a poor kid who grows up into a criminal bigwig not only gave birth to the gangster movie, it was one of the few films to use actual New York City locations (specifically, the rough-and-tumble tenements of the Bowery) to add authenticity to its gritty rise-and-fall parable. It's the first genuine NYC movie.—David Fear

Tootsie (1982)
Dustin Hoffman plays a down-on-his-luck NYC actor who lands a soap-opera role by posing as a prim Midwestern woman. Local landmarks include the National Video Center (now home to luxury apartments and the Signature Theatre) and the Russian Tea Room (where Hoffman reveals his ploy to his agent); even Andy Warhol makes an appearance.—Keith Uhlich

Carnal Knowledge (1971)
Romantic dissatisfaction and a very Gothamite certainty that there's always someone better out there shape Mike Nichols's damning portrait of former college roommates (Art Garfunkel and Jack Nicholson). They navigate 25 years of shifting urban sexual mores but never find what they're looking for.—Alison Willmore
The Squid and the Whale (2005)
Noah Baumbach's razor-edged semiautobiographical dramedy is set in a 1980s Brooklyn intellectual community that's since devoured half the borough. For its cathartic image (see title), the movie revisits a childhood memory likely shared by any impressionable museumgoer of a certain age.—Alison Willmore

Margaret (2011)
Kenneth Lonergan's ragged masterpiece, haunted by personal and municipal trauma, showcases better than any film the flux of 8 million individual stories going at once. It also captures the way that a life-shaking, permanently altering experience for one teenager (the riveting Anna Paquin) can be just another glittering point in the kaleidoscope of the city.—Alison Willmore

Klute (1971)
Jane Fonda won an Academy Award for her portrayal of a cynical actor (this town is full of them) moonlighting as a Big Apple prostitute. After she's caught up in the mysterious disappearance of a business executive, director Alan J. Pakula and cinematographer Gordon Willis turn the city streets and alleys into a shadowy paranoiac's nightmare.—Keith Uhlich

Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Robert Benton's tale of a brutal custody battle is set during a specific, privileged era on the Upper East Side, the place to where upwardly mobile professionals aspired.

Fame (1980)
Alan Parker's body-electrifying tale of High School of Performing Arts students trying to hit it big makes prime use of Gotham venues, from a thrillingly turbulent Times Square to the now-defunct 8th Street Playhouse's midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.—Keith Uhlich

When Harry Met Sally… (1989)
After a casual run-in at Shakespeare & Co., an orgasmic conversation at Katz's Deli and long walks through Central Park, a Jersey-born Jew (Billy Crystal) realizes the high-maintenance shiksa (Meg Ryan) he resented since college is actually his soulmate. Director Rob Reiner and screenwriter Nora Ephron capture Manhattan romance with splendiferous anxiety.—Stephen Garrett

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
Truthfully, the city where it takes place is unspecified, but it's impossible for us not to include Jim Jarmusch's hip-hop fantasia, scored to the sinuous beats of Wu-Tang Clan's RZA. Forest Whitaker cruises late-night streets in a stolen car, motivated by a solemn code of honor and capable of violent deeds.—Joshua Rothkopf

Fatal Attraction (1987)
Histrionic bunny-boiling revenge overshadows what is an unusually well-located NYC psychothriller—from Michael Douglas's Upper West Side domestic stronghold to Glenn Close's Meatpacking District loft, a fitting spot for an illicit fling with a hot dish of crazy. Subtly, the hurtful nature of five-boroughs trysting is tweaked.—Joshua Rothkopf

The Crowd (1928)
An office peon (James Murray), hitched after a night at Coney Island, struggles to raise a family in the tiny Murphy-bed confines of a tenement apartment and reconcile his outsize aspirations with the noble modesty of blending in with the urban masses. King Vidor's stunning silent is a chronicle of crushed hubris.—Stephen Garrett
Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)
Soon enough, Madonna's grungy downtownness would be buffed to a mainstream sheen. But here it is, captured for all eternity. The rom-com's mystery meeting point is Battery Park, yet its more lovable locations include the bygone East Village thrift store Love Saves the Day (where the fought-over jacket is purchased) and Danceteria, a perfect place to get into the groove.—Joshua Rothkopf
Man on Wire (2008)
Brit documentarian James Marsh enshrines the rogue-immigrant romance of New York in French equilibrist Philippe Petit, who sneaked to the top of the newly built World Trade Center in 1974 and enjoyed a death-defying tightrope walk between the Twin Towers' lofty heights. Not even terrorists can erase this city's most lyrical expression of skylarking.—Stephen Garrett

Marty (1955)
Romance blooms on the Bronx's Arthur Avenue, as a coupla dogs—lonely butcher Marty (Ernest Borgnine) and plain schoolteacher Clara (Betsy Blair)—meet at the Stardust Ballroom and find love against the odds. Borough native-son Paddy Chayefsky nabbed a screenplay Oscar for this Best Picture winner, a beautiful homily to homeliness.—Stephen Garrett

Flaming Creatures (1963)
Jack Smith's self-described "comedy set in a haunted music studio"—a 45-minute chronicle of delirious degeneracy—limits its vamping to a single rooftop on Grand Street, but the shock waves continue to reverberate. Having virtually created New York's underground-film scene overnight, its influence is incalculable.—David FearRead more
Network (1976)
More jeremiad than satire, Sidney Lumet's well-oiled production of Paddy Chayefsky's prophetic masterpiece follows an amoral TV conglomerate that exploits a mentally ill news anchor by turning his low-rated national news show into whorehouse entertainment. This still-prescient vivisection of modern culture's vapidity crackles with the nervous energy of midtown's hothouse broadcasters.—Stephen Garrett

Kids (1995)
Marking the breakthroughs of two signature NYC voices—director Larry Clark and screenwriter Harmony Korine (age 19 when writing it)—this docu-style provocation put Washington Square's sexually active skaters at the center of an NC-17 controversy. Critics and moral guardians tut-tutted, but New York City's urban rep was burnished as the place where wayward youth party hardest.—Joshua Rothkopf
Six Degrees of Separation (1993)
You play the Kevin Bacon game; it's worth returning to this adaptation of John Guare's witty, class-conscious play, costarring a rising Will Smith as a lonely Central Park hustler (would that he'd remained this adventurous). The city is the movie's star—a cauldron of art-gallery hauteur, liberal piety and, ultimately, the need to make a difference.—Joshua Rothkopf

My Dinner with Andre (1981)
A playwright (Wallace Shawn) and a stage director (Andre Gregory) chew the fat while literally chewing the fat in a tony New York restaurant—and create a philosophical feast.

The Godfather (1972)
Francis Ford Coppola's film is the great myth of a shadow New York: an immigrant tale of assimilation pitted against the impulse to honor one's dark roots.

Charlie Ahearn's legendary docudrama captured onscreen as never before the worlds of hip-hop and graffiti, with appearances from Grandmaster Flash, Fab 5 Freddy, street artist Lee Quinones, break-dancers the Rock Steady Crew and more. It's an unparalleled artifact of a tagging, popping and body-rocking era.—Alison Willmore
Shame (2011)
Never mind Michael Fassbender's bollocks; the real nakedness in Steve McQueen's portrait of a sex addict comes when our city's pleasuredome facade is stripped away.

West Side Story (1961)
The majority of this musical tour de force—a modern-day take on Romeo and Juliet—was shot on a soundstage.

Once Upon a Time in America (1984)
Sergio Leone's epic mob drama recently received an upgrade, closer to its original 269-minute running time. Can it even be improved upon?

The Naked City (1948)
"There are 8 million stories in the naked city," but only one Jules Dassin classic—a shot-entirely-on-location police procedural that had the chutzpah to tell its tale on Gotham's actual crammed sidewalks. Doubling as a travelogue, this noir thriller established a new benchmark for verisimilitude; the real stars are the streets of New York themselves.—David Fear
25th Hour (2002)
Bombastic, wrenching and heartsick, Spike Lee's drama remains the great post-9/11 love letter to New York City—filled with American flags and displaced rage—as seen by a drug dealer (Edward Norton) about to head to jail for seven years.

All That Jazz (1979)
Ping-ponging from a West 58th Street pussy-hound duplex to troubled Broadway show rehearsals and endless editing on his latest motion picture, Dexedrine-fueled director Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider) makes extreme exhaustion look positively electric. Bob Fosse's self-destructive film à clef proves it: Only in New York can workaholism be considered hedonistic.—Stephen Garrett
Little Fugitive (1953)
Convinced he has killed his older brother with his toy rifle, a seven-year-old Brooklyn boy hightails it to Coney Island, where he wanders around with gaping wonder. This pioneering child's-eye production captures its summery setting with a casual realism that François Truffaut credited as a major influence on The Four Hundred Blows.—Keith Uhlich
American Psycho (2000)
Flattering Bret Easton Ellis's stone-cold satire with a devilish Christian Bale performance and scalpel-sharp period detail, Mary Harron's thriller is close to peerless as a picture of '80s-era vapidity and entitlement. This is the Manhattan of chichi painted plates (and securing the impossible restaurant reservation), Phantom of the Opera visual jokes and pounding dance clubs.—Joshua Rothkopf

"You're going out a youngster—but you've got to come back a star!" Has any line captured the zero-to-famous allure of the Great White Way better? This peerless backstage musical also gave us the title song ("where the underworld can meet the elite") and a delirious Busby Berkeley–choreographed tribute to Broadway's own boulevard of broken dreams.—David Fear

Serpico (1973)
Can a hero survive NYC's mean streets? Just barely, as Sidney Lumet's crime classic—based on the tragic real story of uncorrupted cop Frank Serpico—depicts. Fulsome in his righteous rage, Al Pacino uncorked a signature performance, torn between do-gooder zeal and go-it-alone anxiety. Shooting in every borough except Staten Island, the film is a near-complete portrait of the city at its grimiest.—Joshua Rothkopf

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
Sibling rivalry doesn't begin to describe the subtly complex dynamics within a sororal trio as each one seeks happiness among an array of (sometimes overlapping) men. Woody Allen's vivid dissection of an Upper West Side family—stopping at sites including the Café Carlyle, Pageant Book Shop and CBGB—uses the city's grandiose neuroses and urbane patois to convey a singular kinship.—Stephen Garrett
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
Transit cop Walter Matthau (wearing MTA cynicism like a badge of honor) has to stop a quartet of thieves holding a subway car of distinctly Noo Yawk passengers for ransom. This crackerjack action thriller pulses with '70s-era sleaziness, from dank, dark train tunnels to David Shire's pounding, jazzy musical score.—Keith Uhlich

The Warriors (1979)
New York's real and fictional gangs have garnered their share of screen time over the years, but no one has depicted the city's "armies of the night" as colorfully as Walter Hill. Fleeing from the Bronx to their Coney Island home turf, the Warriors encounter cabals of hoods ranging from the terrifying (Gramercy Riffs) to the campy (Baseball Furies). It's street warfare as costume party, where fashionable psychos come out and plaaa-aaay.—David Fear

Wall Street (1987)
"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good," goes the classic line (paraphrased from an actual Ivan Boesky speech), but the richness of Oliver Stone's morality tale comes through with every scene. Here are dizzying office views and the watering holes (the '21' Club, Tavern on the Green) of the ultrarich. Who can blame Charlie Sheen for buying an automatic sushi maker and selling out?—Joshua Rothkopf

Annie Hall (1977)
Woody Allen's Alvy Singer may be the movies' most New York character, so much so that he grew up underneath a Coney Island roller coaster. Perceptively, his New Yorkness seems the reason for the demise of his relationship: As Annie tells him, "You're like this island unto yourself."—Alison Willmore

On the Waterfront (1954)
The greater NYC skyline lingers in the backdrop like an unreachable dream in Elia Kazan's bruising corruption drama, based on Malcolm Johnson's articles for the late New York Sun. The Hoboken docks are so tough that, as one character says, they almost "ain't part of America," but are their own seemingly unchangeable kingdom.—Alison Willmore

Chelsea Girls (1966)
Conceived at Max's Kansas City and inspired by the Hotel Chelsea (where it was mostly shot), Andy Warhol's three-and-a-half-hour underground opus was also an unlikely commercial hit, a split-screen endurance test of nonnarrative vignettes featuring the Pop artist's menagerie of eccentric New York personalities—the cultural progenitors of histrionic reality TV.—Stephen Garrett
Ghostbusters (1984)
Manhattan's got an otherworldly pest problem in Ivan Reitman's blockbuster supernatural comedy. They're among the stacks in the New York Public Library; they're in and around Central Park; they're even hiding in a scared-stiff street vendor's hot-dog cart. Do we have to ask who you're gonna call?—Keith Uhlich

After Hours (1985)
Martin Scorsese has made bigger movies—that's inarguable—but none capture the wasteland that was '80s Soho after midnight better than this black comedy, a time capsule of NYC weirdness. Frantic Griffin Dunne wanders through papier-mâché-strewn artist lofts, the Moondance Diner and the Emerald Pub, all on his desperate way to get back home (or at least to survive the wiles of Teri Garr).—Joshua Rothkopf

Saturday Night Fever (1977)
It was the movie that took a New York nightclub subculture and turned it into a phenomenon, one Bee Gees song at a time. But this disco melodrama is really about the dream of breaking out of the outer boroughs, with Travolta's well-coiffed, white-suited Bay Ridge mook standing in for every talented, stifled Brooklyn kid trying to stay alive.—David Fear
The French Connection (1971)
The car chase in which Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle follows the D train through Bensonhurst is one of the all-time best for a reason: William Friedkin brilliantly captures the clammy-palmed madness of a high-speed pursuit through bustling, crowded neighborhoods that yield for no one.—Alison Willmore

On the Town (1949)
There are few more exuberant evocations of a visit to NYC than Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen's adaptation of Leonard Bernstein's musical, in which a trio of sailors (Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin) spend their shore leave out and about, romancing three different women. They sing, dance, flirt and even fit in a visit to the Empire State Building, with the stakes no higher than having a great time before they head back to sea. The film's sheer, frantic joy finds time for the still-useful directional advice that "the Bronx is up, but the Battery's down."—Alison Willmore

Escape from New York (1981)
In the not-too-distant future (of 1997), the isle of Manhattan has become a maximum-security prison, home to mohawked killers, slick con artists, gun-toting femmes fatales and other assorted crazies. John Carpenter's gorgeously grimy thriller posits a memorably dystopian Big Apple: The spectacular opening shot—a slow rise up and over the prison wall—is like a WELCOME TO NY! postcard from an alternate universe (a young fella named James Cameron was one of the background-matte painters). Our eye-patch-sporting antihero, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell, the epitome of sneering manliness), uses the Twin Towers as a landing platform for his glider—an unintentionally loaded image. The New York Public Library and Grand Central Terminal are villains' trash-strewn headquarters. And all the bridges are mined! Scene by scene, Carpenter satirizes the de rigueur fears of a crime-plagued NYC—which is funny considering the film was mostly shot in St. Louis.—Keith Uhlich
Shadows (1959)
Raw, intimate and spontaneous in a way that's authentic to the city's unpredictable rhythms, John Cassavetes's jazz-steeped portrait of human relationships is a time capsule of Beat Generation urbanites, as well as the epitome of New York's scrappy ethos—the template for modern independent filmmaking. This interracial drama was conceived, performed and directed in a studied but freestyle manner that grew out of the Method workshop the rogue Cassavetes had founded in his midtwenties. Bankrolled by family, friends and donations, and lensed largely in the auteur's own apartment (as well as Times Square, Central Park and downtown), the project was a run-and-gun affair shot on weekends and without permits. It exudes a vitality and candor that still inspire. You don't have Mean Streets without it, let alone the careers of Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee and Lena Dunham.—Stephen Garrett

King Kong (1933)
Any list of New York films has to include one of the most famous images of the city ever committed to celluloid: the giant stop-motion ape beating his chest atop the Empire State Building and swiping at the biplanes that have come to take him down. King Kong's tragic end at the top of the tower holds up remarkably well almost eight decades later, not just because of the practical special effects (which impart a dreamlike reality of their own), but because he's far from the only visitor to have met his downfall in the city that never sleeps. It is, of course, a jungle out there.—Alison Willmore

Do the Right Thing (1989)
Placing his thumb firmly on a contemporary sore spot, Spike Lee turned up the heat on New York's melting pot and watched things boil over. Outraged over the 1986 Howard Beach incident, Lee responded with a 360-degree look at what happens when tempers flare and breaking points are reached. Spike's magnum opus also doubles as a vivid expressionistic portrait of his native Brooklyn, playing out in a Bed-Stuy neighborhood as colorful as any Gauguin painting: Every stoop philosopher, prophet of antigentrification rage, nosy matriarch and beat-box-loving B-boy gets his or her moment in the spotlight. In short, Do the Right Thing captures the modern urban experience in a nutshell, a movie that threatens to tear itself apart. And that's the double truth, Ruth.—David Fear

Manhattan (1979)
When you walk daily through crowded streets and rub elbows with fellow agitated citizens, it's easy to take the titular borough for granted. Woody Allen's love sonnet to the city he calls home reminds you what a gorgeous, grand sight this island really is from the moment that Gershwin-scored opening kicks in: the fish markets and basketball courts, the Fifth Avenue boutiques and Broadway theaters, the high-rise dwellers and lowlifes. "He adored New York," says Allen's nasal narrator. "He idolized it all out of proportion." By the end of that celebrated montage, every viewer is equally dazed and drawn into the filmmaker's vision—an everyday NYC transformed into a bustling dream metropolis straight out of the movies.—David Fear

Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Released at a time when horror mostly meant Vincent Price in a goofy cape, Roman Polanski's realistic supernatural drama was a transfusion of thick, urbane blood. Much of the movie's revolutionary impact should be credited to the city itself: The Dakota looms menacingly, every bit the Gothic pile as any Transylvanian vampire's mansion. A young couple, played by Mia Farrow (in a fashion-forward NYC pixie cut) and John Cassavetes, moves in—they're recognizable enough. But in another one of the film's clever subversions, the perennial lovable but nosy neighbor (Ruth Gordon) hides an evil intent. Weird obstetricians, mysterious night noises and even Farrow's improvised stroll into actual oncoming traffic add up to a bustling nightmare that's spawned many a Black Swan since.—Joshua Rothkopf

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Al Pacino heads a stellar ensemble cast in Sidney Lumet's tense, unbearably moving tale of a first-time crook whose plan to rob a Brooklyn bank (at 450 Avenue P) goes spectacularly awry. Though primarily confined to a single location, the film is filled to brimming with distinctly New York characters: John Cazale as a spaced-out partner in crime; Chris Sarandon as a fragile transsexual; Charles Durning as a frazzled police detective. At the center of it all is Pacino's Sonny Wortzik, who alternates between cocky displays of street-theater bravado (his famous "Attica!" speech) and devastating moments of walls-are-closing-in introspection (the character's lengthy phone conversations with his ex-wife and current lover are acting master classes). You can see the film's influence in multifaceted heist movies like Reservoir Dogs and Heat (also starring Pacino), but nothing matches Dog Day's earthy, unsentimental vision.—Keith Uhlich

Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
Deliciously lethal—like a "cookie full of arsenic"—this film adaptation of Ernest Lehman's venomous novella about a megalomaniacal gossip columnist (Burt Lancaster) and a parasitic press agent (Tony Curtis) reveals New York's fickle heart to be less candy-colored than bloody and pumping. Inspired by much-feared newspaperman Walter Winchell, the towering drama encapsulates the show-business spin that once went down after-hours in the booths of the '21' Club and the upper floors of the Brill Building. British-born director Alexander Mackendrick brings a removed anthropologist's eye to the city's milieu, while cinematographer James Wong Howe bestows a shimmering noir palette on every authentic location. But it's adapting screenwriter Clifford Odets's syncopated symphony of improbably expressionistic dialogue that really lingers: Talk fast enough in this city and anything will sound persuasive.—Stephen Garrett
Taxi Driver (1976)
And so we arrive at the big daddy—the movie you quote into the mirror when you're feeling fed up ("You talking to me?"), the film that always leaps to mind when a cab pulls through the late-night steam of a manhole cover to take you on a ride to hell. The project almost went to Hitchcock-obsessed Brian De Palma, deemed unsuitable. Instead, with great serendipity, the intense, young director of Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese, and his soft-spoken star, Robert De Niro, were attached. Nothing less than magic was captured during that difficult summer shoot, plagued by beastly heat and a Manhattan garbage strike. Travis Bickle, our cracked hero, cruises through unruly Greenwich Village and the unpredictable streets of Hell's Kitchen. The story may be all in his head: a deranged man's dream of vanilla romance with Cybill Shepherd, unchecked fury at political impotence and the compulsive urge to right every wrong, no matter how slight. Because Taxi Driver is so pungent and real, it tops our NYC list. Because it speaks to the lonely devil in all of us, it tops any list.—Joshua Rothkopf

Radio Days, Brighton Beach Memoirs, 9-1/2 Weeks, A Bronx Tale, & an American Tail. Miracle on 34th Street. You Got Mail.
Good movies not to make this list... The Professional, Brooklyn's Finest, Cop Land (mostly Jersey, but cops and couple scenes New York), Money Train, Taking Pelham 123, Juice, Get Rich or Die Trying, Margin Call, WallStreet: Money Never Sleeps, Smoke, Die Hard: With a Vengeance, New Jack City, Clockers, Searching for Bobby Fischer
This was a great movie reviews. This was really an informative blog about movies.. I hope I can watch all of this movie.
Where's F/X?
i love this list and it is really do give me some knowledge in many movies
The one that's missing that's typically on lists like these—and for good reason—is "A Thousand Clowns," starring Jason Robards. It has terrific location photography from all over Manhattan circa the mid-1960s. But, more importantly, it captures a certain zeitgeist among the artistic community at the time trying to live a Bohemian ideal by not selling out to corporate careerism. Another miss is the 1921 documentary short "Manhatta" by painter Charles Sheeler and photographer Paul Strand. Spectacular early 20th Century on location photography of Manhattan is mixed with a critique of the contemporary urban ideal.
Carlitos Way and American Gangster !!!
Crossing Delancey is about as NY as you get and should be on this list. The Apartment too; its commission is an injustice. That said, #2, that other great 50's film, is right where it should be.
Black and white was a bunch of racist shit. According to this film all white men are weak and gay and all black men are strong and virile. When the hell did this happen? Oh yea, it didn't.
aww c'mon u gotta have home alone 2 in there somewhere
An Unmarried Woman and Light Sleeper should be on this list!
"The World of Henry Orient" in which two preppy private school girls stalk their crush - an increasingly irate concert pianist played by Peter Sellers - all over mid-60s midtown.
this is ok !!
Lets not forget the Billy Wilder classic, The Apartment.
Autumn in New York and Llittle Manhattan are two of my picks.
"Moscow on the Hudson" - Robin Williams as a Russian saxaphonist defector, with Maria Conchita Alonso, a Bloomingdales counter girl, and friends - early 1980s East Village and beyond, immigrants' story, romantic comedy, valentine to NYC, filled with the ups, downs, and ups of living here and being from somewhere else.
I completely agree with CyCC, "Moonstruck" should go without saying... And what about "Working Girl"? That movie should definitely have cracked the top 100.
Several of these movies could have been located in some other city without much change. But Prince of the City couldn't have been made in, or about, any other city. How can it not make the list?
"Juice" if it hasn't been mentioned is deserving of a mention. "Party Monster" really has to be able to crack the Top 100 at least. Club kids? Limelight? That's as 'New York' as New York got in the late 80s/early 90s.
"Street Scene" 1931 directed by King Vidor.....a one block stretch in the NYC, from dawn to night.."Dead End" 1936...shows life in NYC during the Depression and what it took to survive....Bogart is in this as a supporting role, he plsys a gangster who comes back to the neighborhood and finds his girl friend a hooker, hard to make clear in 1936 film censorship.....he is finally killed by Joel Mcrea, an other neighborhood kid who came back trying to make is as an architect
and btw, Taxi Driver may be a brilliant film but it does not summarize or even remotely encapsulate a particularly NY experience. This film is really about any city that exists the periphery of a normal city. These people and these situations come out at night, when it's dark, when everyone has gone home. And it happens everywhere. Even in the so called "nicer" cities. And btw, even if you ARE a 12 year old hooker, there aren't very many vets/cab drivers who are looking to liberate you. What you have in Taxi Driver is a story that's an extraordinary AMERICAN story about a wartorn, disoriented, displaced vet in need of such an extreme episode of such outrageous vengeance and violence, it gives him a justifiable and bloodsoaked gateway back to the living, to the norm.
How can you have a list about NY movies and not even list Moonstruck?
I watched "Saturday Night Fever" last night on DVD. I first saw the film when I was in college and in my 20s. I am now 53 and still love this film. It has aged well and I saw it through much diferent eyes at age 53 than I did in college. A terrific story with a terrfic John Travolta.
Serpico? Pope of Greenwich Village? Basketball Diaries? Marathon Man? A Bronx Story? Get outta here!
No Die Hard 3????
Awesome list but my only complaint is that Rent isn't included. Even though it was mainly shot in San Francisco the movie captures New York and especially Alphabet city in a unique way. Also Nick and Nora's infinite playlist captures NY city nightlife extremely well
coming to America?
so sweet and interesting
so sweet.
so sweet.
You've Got Mail!
I think that Vanilla Sky should have a place in the classement, New York had a great influence on the movie.
There were some good choices on this list, but I was very disappointed by the low placement of "Requiem for a Dream" and complete lack of "The Basketball Diaries." Nobody sees the gritty nature of New York City like a heroin addict. And where exactly is "Se7en"? Tisk, tisk, although it's hard to do it right when you're making a list about the world's most iconic city.
For what is is worth, nearly all of The Crowd, aside from some preliminary establishing shots, was filmed in Los Angeles. Harold Lloyd's Speedy (1928) (Number 65) has dozens more NYC settings. You can read about Lloyd filming Speedy in New York in my book Silent Visions, and on my blog SilentLocations.Wordpress.com
Godfather #41 What planet are you guys from?
I'd have liked to have seen "13 Conversations About One Thing" on this list. It had the bad luck of coming out when 9/11 tore the city apart.
The Apartment??
New Jack City with Wesley Snipes, Ice T & Judd Nelson comes to mind as a great movie filmed in NYC!!!
How could you dare and ignore DIE HARD 3? Isn't this a typical movie for Manhattan? I love the scene with John McClane and Zeus meeting the first time in Harlem while John is carrying his "I hate ..." board! Reconsider, please!
Arthur (the original) and Moonstruck should definitely both be on that list as they are both great movies that are about specific cultures within NYC.
Terrible that three movies didn't make the great movies of New York ... Meet John Doe, The Seven-Ups, and Quick Change. All three have great true to New York scenes! None of which ever show scenes where you can tell they shot any of it in Hollywood!
scent of a woman, where is it ? who ranked this list? this is beyond trash. I dont want to live on this planet anymore.
Most of htese were pretty good choices, but picking the 1976 King Kong is a real letdown. Aside from the promise shown by a young actress named Jessica Lange in that rotten movie, that one was inexcusable. Thank the lord Peter Jackson revived the franchise with his later version.
What about "Night Shift"?!
Oh my goodness this is a crime against humanity. Manhattan should at LEAST be number two. The city is such a big part of that story there is no question that it is the most iconic New York City movie of the 20th Century.
I've seen most of these movies. Good list. A few things bug me (Man Push Cart over Chop Shop? No Royal Tenenbaums? Spider-Man 2? Half Nelson? ATCW Documentary?) My biggest issue, however, is that Die Hard with a Vengeance isn't included. Sure, it's not high brow cinema art, but it's a spectacle, it's fun, and it shows more of the 90s NYC than any other movie I've seen. And, IMO, it's one of the all-time great action films. Also, how about The Cruise?!!?!!?!!?!? Classic NYC romance in such an interesting way.
i kinda liked "Bright Lights, Big City"...also, "Cloverfield"?
whoever things there are 24 movies that are set in NY that are better than Goodfellas has serious issues...
Is this supposed to represent the best movies filmed in New York, or movies that best exemplify New York. If it's the latter, a pair Adam Sandler movies, "Big Daddy," and "Mr. Deeds" would qualify.
"A Thousand Clowns" should be on this list. It's a classic!

x / KISS
Whilst the letter M explored the importance of music to Chloé and the role it's played as the soundtrack to our catwalk shows we wanted to use the letter X to create something really special and personal to Chloé.
So to sign off and say goodbye to the Chloé.Alphabet, what could be better than an original composition recorded to reflect the Chloé sensibility?
We have invited Parisian pop chanteuse Melody Prochet / Melody's Echo Chamber – to create this beautiful song, 'I follow you' (Melo's Chloé Christmas Kiss Mix). This song is in tribute to Chloé, Chloé women and celebrating 60 years of all of us, it's our theme tune in a way.
So to all who have supported, designed for, bought, worn, written and talked about, shared, followed, loved and lusted after Chloé, we say thank you – this is for you.
Gaby Aghion
Born in Egypt in 1921, Gaby Aghion moved to Paris after the war and pioneered the concept of "luxury ready-to-wear" with the creation of Chloé in 1952. She did not feel comfortable with the restrictive wardrobe of the fifties and her thirst for greater emancipation quickly outweighed this "Couture" period as she turned the page without hesitation to offer women a new approach to fashion.See the designs
The young Gaby chose the fabrics, drew six models and had them made by the head seamstress at the atelier Lelong. She then decided to offer them herself to the fashion boutiques which were then just starting to carry ready-to-wear clothes. She put on the first Chloé show in 1956 at a breakfast at the Café de Flore, the epicentre of young intellectual Parisians that she mingled with. It was a success and today she is still the first to express her surprise at her own audacity.
To keep the flame alive and the label youthful, Gaby Aghion continuously sought talented designers, names that are now part of the history of contemporary fashion, to work alongside her.

Karl Lagerfeld
1965-1984 then 1992-1996
In 1965, a young man from Hamburg, Karl Lagerfeld, joined Chloé and worked under the direction of Gaby Aghion – alongside Maxime de La Falaise, Michèle Rosier and Graziella Fontana – before being appointed the house's exclusive designer in 1975.See the designs
Under his direction, Chloé became one of the most iconic brands of the seventies. Karl was particularly noted for his sense of humour and eccentric creations. Each of his collections for the brand became a happening.
Karl left Chloé in 1984, but was to return for a second time in 1992, staying for another four years.

Martine Sitbon
Born in Casablanca Martine Sitbon came to Paris to study at the fashion school, Studio Berçot. In 1987 she joined Chloé as Creative Director.See the designs
Her silhouettes for the brand played on a soft femininity combined with an eclectic wardrobe, with references as diverse as a nineteenth century dandy, the Edwardian era and a matador.
Although her early collections seem fairytale-esque, it was rock music – especially from the seventies – that became the strongest influence on Sitbon's Chloé designs.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney was born in London – the daughter of Sir Paul, and his wife Linda. At the age of 26, after graduating from Central Saint Martins, Stella was hired by Chloé as Creative Director to replace the outgoing Karl Lagerfeld.See the designs
Inspired by her mother – who wore Chloé – the young designer brought a breath of fresh air: celebrities, style and buzz, youth and glamour, became part of the Chloé world.
The brand took on a vintage, sexy, rock 'n' roll tone, appealing to a new generation of young women who were nostalgic without being sentimental, independent and modern. The Chloé wardrobe always mixes all kinds of influences – and the vital energies of the street inspired Stella's take.

Phoebe Philo
When Stella McCartney left Chloé, her assistant and friend, Phoebe Philo, succeeded her at the brand. Born in Paris, Phoebe graduated from London's Central Saint Martins a year after Stella.See the designs
Her aesthetic was subtly different. With Phoebe's arrival, Chloé started to work leather, to the delight of customers, who rushed to get bags and shoes.
With Phoebe, a complete wardrobe of desirable pieces was developed – faithful to the spirit of the brand and yet right for now. She offered a new way of looking at fashion, adding a twist of British cool to the very Parisian Chloé.

Hannah MacGibbon
Hannah MacGibbon was born in London. Another graduate of the capital's Central Saint Martins, she initially worked under Phoebe at Chloé and is credited with bringing a touch of chic to the street style of her predecessor.See the designs
In 2008, Hannah took over the reigns at Chloé for three years. Bringing in a demure aesthetic of timeless pieces and neutral colours, she drew on a seventies aesthetic of the brand but with a modern twist. Wide capes, nude tones, jeans and chambray shirts were revisited, with belted high-waist pants.
Hannah's designs were about freshness, sophistication and grace – quintessentially Chloé.

Clare Waight Keller
Clare Waight Keller was born in Birmingham. She succeeded Hannah at Chloé in the summer of 2011, moving from Pringle of Scotland.See the designs
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, she began her career at Calvin Klein in New York, worked in the men's studio at Ralph Lauren, and then at Gucci, under Tom Ford.
Eagerly anticipated, Clare Waight Keller's first show for Chloé took place in October 2011. It went to Chloé's very soul – fluid and feminine "but boyish", she said, these qualities were expressed in long white and powder pink pleated dresses, eyelet embroidery and belts on the hips of wide pants.
Developing her take on Chloé for Autumn / Winter 2012, there were blouses, throw-on coats and pretty dresses in a sorbet palette. Chic, sensual and natural, that's Clare's Chloé.

Birth Place: Neptune, New Jersey, USA
Born on Apr. 22, 1937 in Neptune, NJ (or New York, NY or Manasquan, NJ - sources differ) Nicholson was raised in a broken home that later proved to be not all that it seemed. Nicholson grew up believing that his grandmother, Ethel, was in fact his mother; around 1975, Nicholson learned that his alleged sister, June, was actually his mother - she was a chorus girl in New York who became pregnant with him in a time and place where having a child so young would have shamed the family. Why and how the rouse was maintained until after both had died remained a mystery to Nicholson, who later claimed to have been relieved when he found out. Meanwhile, he never knew for certain who his father was - ... Continue Bio >>

Brownfields Redevelopment Initiative
What is a Brownfield?
A brownfield is defined as a "real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant," according to the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2001. Brownfields can be anywhere—cities and suburbs, rural and tribal communities, and along the coastlines.
How GSA helps
As a founding member of the Brownfields National Partnership, which encompasses 28 organizations, including more than 15 federal agencies, GSA demonstrates its commitment to brownfield redevelopment in the following ways:
- Identifies vacant or underused federal properties whose remediation and reuse can bolster community revitalization efforts.
- Understands real estate transactions and some of the key players in the insurance, finance, and development industries.
- Knows federal disposal authorities and regulations. As an honest broker, GSA works with the EPA in better focusing its brownfield assessment and cleanup efforts to support final reuse and redevelopment of federal properties.
- Saves tax dollars when it disposes of or sells vacant or underused federal properties and represents the federal government as a good neighbor to the communities where these buildings reside.
How Does Brownfields Redevelopment Help Local Communities?
Brownfields redevelopment presents an opportunity to help the environment, boost local economies, and increase the overall quality of life. This program receives broad support among local communities for the following reasons:
- Serves as a catalyst for development projects to provide jobs, contributes to the local tax base, promotes economic development, and enhances public spaces.
- Makes efficient use of existing infrastructure while providing an alternative to developing green fields of open space and contributing to suburban sprawl.
GSA's Memorandum of Agreement [PDF - 792.67 KB] with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2003 to promote the reuse of underutilized federal properties through the Early Transfer Authority.

After injury or surgery we often want to aid our companions' healing process and reduce any pain associated with the trauma. In addition, some animals may experience chronic pain due to arthritis or other musculo-skeletal problems. There are a variety of natural remedies available to help reduce our companions' pain, along with physical healing modalities that are very beneficial.
Homeopathic remedies are a very safe and relatively easy way to assist healing and pain control. These can be used along with any conventional medications and herbal remedies, and very rarely show any side effects. HomeoPet First Aid is an excellent remedy to keep on hand in case of accident or injury, as well as for use before and after any type of surgery such as teeth cleaning, spay or neuter, etc.
Both Canine and Feline Pain Plus Formula by Genesis Resources are excellent supplements that can support recovery from injury or surgery, or help discomfort for animals suffering from arthritis or spinal pain when administered along with a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement. It contains herbs such as Yucca and Boswellia which can reduce
inflammation and hasten healing.
Seven Forests Liquidambar 15 is particularly
helpful with spinal issues - disc problems and back pain. It is a Chinese herbal complex with a long history of use in humans and has shown promising results in dogs as well.
Traumagesic Complex combines the best of several types of remedies;
including enzymes, Chinese herbs and homeopathics that help to speed healing and control pain and inflammation. This is an excellent supplement for use after any injury such as sprains, strains, soft tissue; or bone injuries. It is also helpful for joint and back pain.
Flower Essences are a very safe addition to any pain control program as they are completely safe and easy to administer. They can be rubbed in through the paws and ears for those animals that are difficult to dose orally. Here are a few that may be appropriate depending on the cause of your animal's pain: Pain Relief Flower Essence, Physical Recovery, Trauma Recovery, Arthritis / Achy Pain.
K-9 Aspirin is also an easy to administer chewable that is highly palatable and aids in the relief of temporary aches & pains and healthy inflammation response.
A final note - it is imperative to determine the underlying cause of your companion's pain before attempting to treat it. Pain is an important messenger and masking pain without knowing the source can create further problems.

Deanna M. Neff, MPH
Chordee repair is a surgery to straighten the penis.
It is done to repair a birth defect of the penis called
chordee. This defect makes the penis curve downward during an erection.
A chordee repair is done by a specialized doctor called a pediatric urologist.
The surgery is typically done after six months of age if the penis curvature is greater than 30 degrees. Curvature of the penis greater than 60 degrees can affect sexual function later in life.
This procedure is done on male infants born with:
After surgery, the penis should function normally.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If your child is having the surgery, the doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Discuss these risks with the doctor before surgery.
The following may be done:
Talk to the doctor about your child's medications and supplements. Your child may need to stop certain medications before the surgery. Your child may also need to take certain medications to prepare for surgery.
Your child will need to have an empty stomach before the procedure. Ask the doctor when your child will need to stop breastfeeding or eating.
Local or
general anesthesia
will be used. This will block any pain.
The surgery is usually done in an outpatient setting. Your child will not need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Several techniques may be used to straighten the penis. In general, surgery aims to make the longer and shorter sides of the penis equal in length. Techniques may include:
An artificial erection will be created using a special injection. This will confirm that the penis is straight. Bandages will be placed around the penis.
About 1-2 hours—longer if your child is having a more complex procedure
Your child will not feel any pain during surgery. Medication will be given after the procedure to manage pain.
The staff will monitor your child and give him pain medication as needed.
Swelling of the area is normal. When your child returns home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After arriving home, contact the doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

WEYERS CAVE, Va. (AP) - Police say a 12-year-old boy drove his family's car nearly seven miles and went in the wrong direction on Interstate 81 before being apprehended.
Augusta County sheriff's deputies were called to Weyers Cave after the boy took the car Thursday. Lt. Dennis Back says I-81 motorists then alerted authorities that the vehicle was traveling north in the southbound lanes of I-81.
Back says the boy left the interstate down an entrance ramp and tried to re-enter along an exit ramp in Rockingham County but was blocked by police cruisers.
No injuries were reported. No charges were immediately filed and the boy was released to his mother.
The News Leader reports the mother told authorities that Thursday's incident marked the fourth time he had taken off in a car.

The temperatures outdoors may be fluctuating, but inside the People's House (the Minnesota State Capitol), the thermometer only seems to on the upswing.
With this session of the Minnesota Legislature chugging down the road to the end, many people are entering the many doors of the People's House. Everyone wants to be heard regarding their issue and each day the volume increases.
Many organized groups and individuals attempt to reach the ears of the elected officials. In a surprise move at one rally, the crowd stopped chanting and had a moment of silence to get the attention of lawmakers.
Orbiting these Rotunda rallies, legislative chambers, offices and meeting rooms are the lobbyists, who utilize many electronic devices waiting for an opportunity to make their voices heard.
The inspiration for this Hartbeat comes from our friends across the big pond the Rolling Stones. It does not seem like the lads will be touring for their 50th anniversary this year, but one can always find inspiration in their large catalog of material. At Hartbeat World Headquarters we fed the turntable the album, "Aftermath." Buried in the tracks is the relatively obscure song, "I Am Waiting." This composition fits in perfectly with what people are doing at the Capitol. Well, really most of the songs on "Aftermath" relate to situations at the People's House, but we'll stick to one for now. The Hartbeat goes on...
"See it come along, and don't know where it's from"
We will put the weight right on the visuals for this edition of Hartbeat. Recently, I set up my video camera and tripod down at the crossroads of the House and Senate overlooking the Rotunda and captured some digital images (not exactly the same "Crossroads" of Robert Johnson and Eric Clapton, but you do feel some powerful forces there). I gave myself a deadline of ten minutes to see what transpired and the results are seen at the top of the blog. I also added a few from some other events this week.
What's Cooking on the Hartbeat Grill?
This weekend, I will be journeying with Hartbeat Co-Curator, Vivian Hart, Hartbeat Director of Research, Greg Lew and his bride, The Queen of All Media to Minneapolis to view a performance of "Million Dollar Quartet." It's a musical inspired by the true story of what happened at the Sun Record Company Memphis Recording Service on December 4th, 1956. Carl Perkins was in the studio to record some new material with his brothers and a drummer. Producer Sam Phillips wanted to broaden the sparse rockabilly instrumentation, so he brought in his latest musical find, a piano player named Jerry Lee Lewis. During the afternoon, former Sun artist, Elvis Presley, (now signed to RCA) dropped by as did Johnny Cash. They started jamming, and engineer Cowboy Jack Clement rolled the tape machine. In something of a rock and roll mystery, the tapes were lost for years but were eventually discovered and released in various forms staring in 1981. The music consisted of gospel, country and R&B, with some Christmas songs interspersed. The recording lacks some technical polish, but does capture a moment in the history of rock and roll. It will be very interesting how it translates to the stage. I will let you know in the next Hartbeat.
The Musical Notes
"Aftermath" was released in 1966 and as was common with English groups of the day, slightly different albums were released in Britain and the United States. "I Am Waiting" made it on both versions of "Aftermath." It is a significant recording by the lads since it is the first album to feature exclusively the writing of Mick Jagger/Keith Richards. The music was recorded entirely in the United States (in Hollywood) and is the first album the group released in true stereo.
Rolling Stone Brian Jones was very involved in experimenting with different musical instruments on the album including sitar, marimbas and an Appalachian dulcimer which he plays on "I Am Waiting." Notable singles from the album that enjoyed chart success were: "Paint It Black," "Mother's Little Helper" and "Lady Jane."

We expect our students to achieve and we love to celebrate their successes. But we make sure that a sense of proportion prevails, and there is none of the anxiety that can be caused by excessive competition.
In the senior school classes are small so teacher time and attention are plentiful, and every child is known individually by all of his or her subject staff. We expect pupils to gain at least one grade higher for each subject at GCSE than their record suggested when they joined the school.
At Friends' School, your child will find a strong sense of community that unites all members of the school – boarding and day pupils, teaching and non-teaching staff – regardless of age or position. We believe that learning happens most effectively when relationships are based on mutual trust. This supportive environment results in secure, happy students who are able to meet intellectual, creative and physical challenges with confidence throughout their school career.
Quakers believe that there is something of God in everyone. This belief influences all relationships within Friends' School and creates an environment where your child will be treated as an individual and integrated into the community. Individuality is cherished and pupils and staff show respect for the dignity of others.
It is because of the Quaker heritage of the school that we welcome children from all religious faiths, as well as those with none. While our assemblies are based on Quaker silent worship, they are inclusive and respect the religious backgrounds of all our pupils.

Parameterized Window Preset Model
Application ID: 16077
During the design of a building, environmental issues have gained considerable influence in the entire project. One of the first concerns is to improve thermal performances. In this process, simulation software are key tools to model thermal losses and performances in the building.
The international standard ISO 10077-2:2012 deals with thermal performance of windows, doors and shutters. It provides calculated values of the thermal characteristics of frame profiles in order to validate a simulation software.
COMSOL Multiphysics successfully passes the entire benchmark. This document describes six frame profiles of ISO 10077-2:2012 related to windows only. Other test cases from this norm are available in the following models:
- Thermal Performances of Roller Shutters; Model ID: 16073
- Glazing Influence on Thermal Performances of a Window; Model ID: 16075

Dellwood, MO (KSDK) - A teenager is hospitalized with a bullet lodged in his chest after what police described as an accidental shooting Tuesday.
Investigators say the two sixteen year old boys told police they found a six shot revolver behind the BP Service station on Halls Ferry Road near Woodwind.
The two juveniles then took the weapon back to one of the teen's home where the two boys then began playing with the gun by pointing it at one another and pulling the trigger.
That's when the weapon fired, and the other teen was struck in the right arm.
The victim was taken to St. Louis Children's Hospital where he was treated for a flesh wound on his upper arm. That's also when medical officials discovered the bullet was still lodged inside the boy's chest.
The boy who fired the shot was turned over to juvenile officials with the St. Louis County Family Court, then later released to his mother after being charged with assault under the juvenile statute.
No names were released due to the boys status as juveniles.

How should this KQ game approach dying? Specifically, should it have a "Restore/Restart/Quit" popup with only manual saves, should it have a "Try Again" popup with autosaves set right before encountering unavoidable death, or should it have less frequent autosaves and still require you to manually restore?
Do you have any different ideas?

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - A 9 Wants to Know inquiry into suspicions that the General Services Administration booked luxury suites and a party cruise has not found evidence to support the questions raised in Congress.
Opryland's 300 foot, four decked General Jackson Showboat entered the national G-S-A debate Wednesday, when U.S. Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Ca.) suggested the agency had booked the cruise for a Nashville convention going on at the same time as the hearing.
"That may be some other third party," GSA Cynthia Metzler, GSA Chief Administrative Services Officer testified under questioning.
"So, there is no expense to the federal government for the General Jackson Lee Steamboat that is having a party tonight," Denham pressed.
"That is correct to the best of my knowledge," Metzler responded.
Denham and other committee members questioned Metzler about this week's GSA Nashville conference, 76 other conferences over the past 18 months, and $30 million in GSA bonuses exposed by 9 Wants to Know.
At the same time Denham questioned Metzler, 9 Wants to Know asked sister station WTVF in Nashville to send crews to the boat.
WTVF Investigative Reporter Ben Hall questioned conventioneers boarding the General Jackson at the time of the suspected GSA departure.
"Are you with the federal government at all," WTVF video shows Hall asking. "Have you ever heard of GSA? Are you with the federal government?"
The conventioneers laughed, said no, and identified themselves as employees of Brother International, a sewing machine manufacturer holding a conference in Nashville.
During the hearing, Denham, who chairs the House subcommittee with GSA oversight, also questioned the official about tips that GSA workers were staying in luxury suites at the Gaylord Opryland Resort as well.
"Is there a GSA employee in the presidential suite," Denham questioned Metzler.
"I do not know that," the GSA official said.
Hall and the WTVF crew knocked on a presidential suite door but received no answer.
They did find signs identifying the GSA's SmartPay conference, designed to teach credit card protocols.
GSA officials say 44 people attended the conference.
Back at the General Lee, the crew found the man who said his company, Brother International, not GSA, booked the entire cruise.
"I signed the contract," the man told Investigative Reporter Hall. "I have it here in my hand."
"I would just reiterate the same outrage I have in the past," Denham said.
Friday, Denham said he hadn't found new evidence supporting his suspicions, but he still has serious concerns about the Nashville conference.
"We want to see, what are your travel expenses, what is the cost of the conference, what are they awards that are being given out at the conference, " Denham said when told of our findings. "We continue to investigate not only this conference by the same one last year where they spent a million dollars."
GSA issued a statement calling the claims "false."
"The new GSA leadership has placed strict controls on travel and spending," GSA spokesman Dan Cruz said. "Misuse of taxpayer dollars is not tolerated."
