Manhattan Avenue, like the rest of New York City, has seen a lot of changes since 1940, and here we’ve compiled a ‘before and after’ series of the northern stretch of the Avenue (past Greenpoint Avenue) using the 1940s NYC tax photo archives. Did you know there was a synagogue where C-Town now stands? Check it out:

Love how the liquor store is still a liquor store.
great shots…
Any images of the Sugar Bowl diner?
Found Freeman Street the corner I passed daily for 21 years plus. Great photos. You should have listed the cross streets to help locate the buildings.
