These 10 New York Photo Galleries contain some of the best photographic representations of New York around. I searched through an incredible 17,000 images to carefully select these photographs. It took quite a lot of time and energy to compile and organize them, and to add captions that bring each photo more meaning. They offer an overview of the city, but also provide ideas for people who don't know it well, offering insight into potential places to visit. So they act as excellent guides for tourists and natives alike.
