Appearance of New York

Does anywhere in New York still look the same or similar to how it does in the film, please, if anyone out there knows?

Is it just me or did the place somehow look better back then? I am sure some areas must still have some signs of how it looked in this film?

I miss dirty'n'dingy 70's New York City. This film is such a great time capsule of the Big Apple in all its deliciously grimy 70's glory.

Agreed. Another great example is Taxi Driver.
