    Time Out New York / Issue 628 : Oct 11–17, 2007
    Sights & Blights

    Icons: Sights

    Love ’em or hate ’em (we do some of each), these things are sooo New York.

    Sights

    1 Yellow cabs
    2 The Pepsi sign
    3 Katz’s Delicatessen
    4 Wonder Wheel
    5 Water towers
    Sights 6–10


    Water towers

    New York: city of industry, built of steel, forever changing—with an H2O supply pumped by tiny wooden silos that belong on a farm. The water towers (there are some 10,000 citywide, many of which date back to the 19th century) add an elegant, rustic touch to the cityscape. Depending on the sunlight, they can look straight out of the Dust Bowl or from a scene from Moulin Rouge!
