As America's largest city and best known immigration gateway into the country, NYC represents the beauty, diversity and sheer strength of the United States, a global financial center that has enticed people chasing the American Dream for centuries.
America's prototypical metropolis was once a serene landscape in which Native American tribes farmed and fished, but when European settlers arrived its location on the Eastern seaboard sparked a rapid transformation.
Given its history of rapid change, it is ironic that the city's inhabitants often complain about the city's changing and yearn for things to stay the same.
The website EV Grieve, whose name plays on the idea that the East Village grieves for the history and character the neighborhood loses every day to market forces and gentrification, regularly features a photo of some site, usually of little interest: an abandoned store, a small bodega, a vacant lot.
The caption says, simply, that this is what the site looked like on a given day.
The editors of the website are determined to document everything and anything for future generations.
That is hardly a modern phenomenon.
New Yorkers have always grieved over the city's continuous upheavals and ever-increasing size and complexity.
By the 1820s, Wall Street had lost whatever charm it might have had; former residents complained that two-story houses had given way to intimidating five-story office buildings.
The New York Commercial Advertiser noted in 1825 that Greenwich is no longer a country village, but rather an up-and-coming neighborhood.
Today, it's hard to find a history of New York City that doesn't refer to Henry James's famous 1908 story The Jolly Corner, in which a man returns to New York after decades abroad only to be horr.
