You got the full NY experience!
Andy Sipowicz was not having a good day.
Lol fuck that dude.
I think I thought I seen her on 8th and forty-deuce.
Probably doesn’t care for Juggalos. /s
You studied at ICP? Did they teach you about magnets?
You ask him where you can buy a liter of cola?
Who’s the dude getting detained?
Dennis Franz from NYPD Blue
My dad worked in Manhattan we would go into to the city all the time. I was a kid when this photo was taken, and can still remember the smell of it all. The last of the grimy Manhattan era.
Side bar, why is asshole censored but fucking isn’t?
You studied at Insane Clown Posse?
Remind me the stupid cop in die hard 2 at the airport…
Funny how they all got the moustache.
Sipowicz?
Wait…..NYC cops had revolvers in 1992 and not semiautomatic?
Damn
Is Marc Maron the one getting arrested?

Wow Biggie Smalls and Marc Meron in the same photo as you were studying with the Insane Clown Posse! The 90s were just different!
Reminds me of my first NYC experience:
I was 7 years old, first time tourist in NYC getting off the subway with my uncle when a guy nwith headphones on walking next to me says “what a beautiful fucking day”. I was like “omg he cursed”, then I see a cop walking by looking right at us and I think “this dudes about to get arrested for cursing!” The cop replies “yea it fucking is” and my brain just melted, outside of the movies I don’t think I had ever heard anyone curse in public so this was just too much awesomeness for me.
After that my uncle bought me a pearl-faced Movado from Canal St, and that combined with my newfound love of cursing, led me to be the most popular kid in my class that year, thanks NYC!
NYC was so grimy from
The late 70s to the mid 90s. This picture captures it well.
I worked in New York from 1997 to 2007. I remember my first day of work heading out of the Port Authority down 42nd, and there was nothing but . . . boards. All those antiquated businesses and porn theaters were in the process of being torn down. Six months later, the boards came down, and suddenly, there was a Disney Store and a mega-sized McDonald’s and a Madame Tussaud’s. The New Victory Theater, which was a porn grindhouse when Scorsese made Taxi Driver, had been scrubbed clean and converted into a children’s theater.
Holy shit that brings me back. Did you go to the peep show directly after? hehehe. NYC was a different place then.
I remember living in Alphabet City then. It was like an open air drug den. It was still pretty cheap to rent at the time in 1994.
It’s crazy to think 42nd and 8th ever looked like this. So unrecognizable now.
I can’t wait to visit NYC and get yelled at by a cop too!
Very rough part of town back then. My office was just west of the Port Authority. I was a thirty ish attractive woman and it was walking the gauntlet every day to get to Grand Central station! Saw crazy stuff back then. Is so much better now!
I visited New York for the first time in 1992. I was visiting a friend who had a tiny apartment near Washington Square Park. To get to his apartment, you had to step over the homeless guy who slept in the entryway. He was a solid chap: introduced himself by saying “Hi, I’m Steve, and I’ll be your bum for the day.”
At the end of the trip, I took a cab to the airport. The meter (the old mechanical type) was clicking away like a some sort of clockwork dervish. I said to the cabbie I wasn’t paying the meter fare and he shrugged his shoulders, unscrewed something from the front of the meter and it went back to normal speed, saying “Damn, I didn’t think you’d notice”.
My NYC cop story:
I got nabbed by a couple undercovers for smoking where it wasn’t allowed. After apologizing about my mistake, one of them asks me what I think they should do.
I replied “Let me go?” They asked why they should and I replied that “I’m just a dumb tourist and *I meant no disrespect to you or your city*
Dude said “Good answer” and let me go. A little ego stroke goes a long way I guess.
