Exploring New York City

>>  Welcome to Littleviews, a website with a changing purpose.

Until 2008, Littleviews primarily offered information about New York City activities. As of June, 2008, we are changing the focus of Littleviews to "Opportunities," with an emphasis on "how to do stuff," although most of our new articles will continue to be related to New York City.

Many of our visitors look for ways to sell products, find jobs, and network with others. With that in mind, we've added a Classified Ads section where you can freely advertise your goods, services, and talents. Upcoming articles, for example, will talk about how to get around New York City if you are an older person, how to launch a new career if you are on unemployment, and how to use your own website or blog to promote your own personal expertise.

Showcase: On the Walls in New York City

Hand-painted mural art (often confused with graffiti) can be seen all over New York and surrounding cities, but excellent examples of it are hard to find.

Make a game of seeking out mural art (and splendid examples of graffiti, too). Take pictures immediately! Sometimes great paintings are found on buildings about to be destroyed, so don't lose the memory.

Should Littleviews tell you where we find our pictures? And spoil the fun of hunting for them yourself? No . . .
