The best of New York City webcams!!

Like what I did for London, it's time to present you the best of the NYC webcams - located in the heart of the city that never sleeps, and you can make out by yourself why the city got this moniker. So, let's start the tour!

1) The fifth avenue webcam:

This is a view looking up north Fifth Avenue from the southeast corner of 45th Street. A new picture is available every 5 minutes (it does not update automatically yet).


2) Three webcams located at the top of Worldwide Plaza at 8th avenue and at Weehawken, NJ:

Looking southwest and southeast from the Worldwide plaza: At the second link, notice the Times Tower and the Empire State Building.

Located in one of the most busy intersection in Manhattan - the converge of 8th avenue, the Broadway, and the Central Park South - you can make out why New Yorkers get tricked by this circular square!

The best and the last ones! :

10) The Times Square webcams:

Known as "the crossroads of the world", Times square is always packed with people and traffic. Here you can find sixteen webcams (!!), positioned on differents spots of the square. The last four cams are located inside the Hawaiian Tropical Zone bar, but the most outstanding of them (and the best webcam in the world) is Cam 1, which is a live 24/7 streaming cam with sound, so you can also hear the bustle and hustle of the metropolis. This cam changes view automatically every few seconds, so you can spot various famous landmarks as the MTV studios, Times Square One, the TKTS booth and the Marriott Marquis Hotel. So, what you're waiting for? Go on and get a glimpse of the NY from the comfort of your couch!!
