Review
These old, informative film clips are great. The narrator's voice is very festive. Very helpful to someone who needs to know how to get around in New York City. Everything is shown from parkways, highways, subways etc. they show the transportation of NYC like a beating heart. In some ways I believe it is because there would be a daily disaster if everything was not designed to run smoothly in and out of the city
