This Is What New York City Was Like - Part 1 (2012)

In 2012, New York City was thriving as a global hub for finance, culture, and entertainment. The city was recovering well from the 2008 financial crisis, with significant improvements in its economy and real estate markets. Tourism was booming, attracting millions of visitors, thanks to iconic landmarks like Times Square, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty. Major redevelopment projects, such as the construction of One World Trade Center, were underway, symbolizing resilience after the 9/11 attacks.

The city was also known for its vibrant arts and nightlife scenes, with Broadway, museums, and trendy neighborhoods like Williamsburg in Brooklyn gaining popularity. Public transportation remained a central feature of daily life, and the bike-sharing program, Citi Bike, was introduced, further encouraging sustainable commuting.

However, 2012 also saw the impact of Hurricane Sandy, which hit in late October, causing widespread flooding and damage, particularly in lower Manhattan and coastal areas. Despite this, New Yorkers demonstrated their trademark resilience, quickly beginning recovery efforts.

It was an era of progress, innovation, and strength for NYC.
