Live Webcams in New York

New York is the city that invented the skyline, and its live webcams show it from every angle: the lights of Midtown, a rooftop over Lower Manhattan, the harbour with its ferries and container ships, jets on final approach over Queens, and the boardwalk at the far end of Brooklyn, where the city meets the Atlantic. The live webcams in New York run on Eastern Time, UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 in summer, which puts the evening rush at around midnight for Europe and the sunrise over the harbour in the European early afternoon. Eight and a half million people live across the five boroughs, on a few islands and a strip of mainland, which is why every one of these views is dense with movement. December is the month for the lights; May and September for the light itself.
