Forever a trendsetter in culture, art and fashion, New York\u2019s streets greet a plethora of interesting faces and spaces day in and day out. Yep, the city that never sleeps is forever\u00a0reinventing itself. While change is all well and good, sometimes it’s nice to look back and take stock of the years gone by. These photos from the past century\u00a0reveal the very best fads, fashions and figures that have made New York, well.. New York. \u00a0Here are some of the most monumental old-school snaps we uncovered in the US National Archives<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0the\u00a0things we learned about New York along the way…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

People had serious style \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The construction\u00a0of the Empire State Building saw\u00a0a complete disregard for personal safety<\/strong><\/h4>\n

From workmen chilling on the\u00a01400-feet high\u00a0framework without harnesses, to semi-naked acrobats performing bizarre stunts on the edge of a 102-story skyscraper, the construction of the\u00a0Empire State in the\u00a01930’s saw some strange behaviour.<\/p>\n

People have been day tripping to Coney Island for over a hundred years<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The bathers may have changed, but the island itself has attracted tourists and locals alike for more than a century.<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn Bridge has always been a showstopper\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
