26 Haunting Photos Of Snowy And Deserted New York Streets
During a winter storm New Yorkers were old to stay indoors, the streets were empty within the curfew with cars being banned from the road while residents stayed at home.
Some brave Instagrammers and Tweeters decided to head outside any way to take some photos of the deserted  and snowy New York streets showcasing a haunting and eerily sight! The next morning New Yorkers awoke a blanket of snow less deep than expected, life has now gone back to normal on the streets of New York.
1. In Midtown Manhattan there was not a car on the road.
2. The roads outside Grand Central Station were covered in snow.
3. As morning broke, the Upper West Side was empty.
4. On Park Avenue there was barely a person to be seen.
5. In Central Park, the fountain at Bethesda Terrace sat under a sea of white.
6. While the park’s famous Mall was blanketed in snow.
7. There were hardly any footprints in the snow at Madison Square Park.
8. While in Greenwich Village, there was barely a soul on the streets.
9. Soho is usually bustling with early morning activity, but on Tuesday it was empty.

12. There were no yellow cabs on Broadway in Tribeca.

This woman looks so lonely. I guess we can look on the bright side. What if we had a blackout too? pic.twitter.com/C5D0YzThEd

No cars, busses, taxis or subways, but you can get a Big Mac. It's easy to be cynical but if you couldn't get home 🙂 pic.twitter.com/QtW4YecVps
