I’m a huge George Steinmetz fan.

The photographer is known for his amazing aerial shots and is currently working on a book of NYC images.

I linked to some of his NYC photos last summer, and discovered a new trove of his work via his @newyorkairbook Instagram account. (He actually shot the photo of that amazing West Village rooftop cabinВ that I posted yesterday.)

A few of my favorite photos below, though his whole account is definitely worth a browse and follow.

The adjoining school was named after Michael J Buczek, a New York City police officer who was killed in the line of duty in this #WashingtonHeights neighborhood in 1988.

Its lower floors include stables for a dozen police horses and a five-story Mercedes-Benz showroom. #WhoKnew?

It claims to be the largest outdoor rooftop bar and restaurant in the city, which seems to be true. In winter months it’s partially heated, and customers are given hooded red fleece robes to stay warm. The management has even experimented with inflatable heated igloos. #bookparty?
