A lot of times, when people think of New York City, they think about high-rises, skyscrapers and New Yorkers living high in the sky.  However, that’s not exactly true.  There are many low-rise buildings (walk ups, no higher than six floors), brownstones and houses in the city.  Here are a few examples.

   Hi Ming: Yes, classic.

   Hi Melissa: Actually the one in the third photo is a fire escape, not a balcony. I like it, too.

   Hi Lala: Next time you come, visit this part of the city without the skyscrapers. You won’t be dazed.

   Thanks for stopping by!
