Here's just a quick one I spotted on YouTube this evening. Witness this grainy Super 8 film of someone's trip to New York City (departing from Miami) in 1986. Lots of the usual NYC touchstones make cameos, but I was psyched to see some long, slow pans of a now-virtually-unrecognizable stretch of West 8th Street starting at about 04:10 into the cilp, featuring the old 8th Street Playhouse, the original Barnes & Noble location and the Crazy Eddie on the other side of Sixth Avenue.
It's fleeting, but enjoyable.
