Riding the trains, walking city blocks, sights we saw. I can remember being out with her at a Bk or McD's, we were sitting down eating and the lady sitting next to us had her purse snatched from the back of her seat. Clear as yesterday, the perpetrator ran from the back of the restaurant....swooshed...and kept moving.

Four historical events happened back in 1977: 1. The opening of Studio 54 (then the hottest dance club in the Big Apple) 2. David "The Son of Sam" Berkowitz, who made famous with his killing spree throughout NYC 3. The New York Yankees winning their 21st World Series championship (their first one since 1962) at the original Yankee Stadium in the dilapidated-and-arson saturated South Bronx and, of course 4. The famous Blackout of '77 (which knocked out power throughout the city and caused widespread looting and arson on July 13-14, 1977)

I've never lived in NYC, but I'd still like to put in my two cents about what I've heard. It's true that NYC was dirtier and grittier then and there was a lot of economic and social depression going on and a lot of crime.......but there was a lot of beauty underneath it all if you knew where to look. It was a time of great creativity with new art and music forms bursting forward. When you got almost nothing you make something new out of the little you have. Nowadays everything is handed to you on a silver platter. Or on a smartphone or computer. No need to use creativity when it's so much easier just to "reimagine" or "sample" something that's already been created (back then we called it "ripping off" or "plagiarizing"!) which explains the complete bankruptcy of new ideas evident in today's movies, art and music.

Me and my family stayed in New York for 2 months in the summer of 1977. I was there when the Son of Sam held the city in his grip, I was in my uncle's basement when the Blackout hit and we were suddenly engulfed in total darkness, I mean not a single light to be seen and I was there when news broke that Elvis had died. 1977 is an unforgettable year for me!

You just concealed your spliff. And keep on puffing when you pass an officer. It was less harsher crimes back on the news...now the news of today is flooded with evil acts....smh I'm leaving NYC....prefer to live in Barcelona.

I recall in 1987 I was there at night. Some black dude was asking me if I wanted to buy a VCR while standing in front of an electronics store with the burglar alarm going off.

1977 was the year I migrated to New York at the age of 4 from Venezuela, Ny will always be my home in my heart. I don't know anything about Venezuela and don't feel like I'm missing out anything. I'm now a U.S. citizen and consider Ny my home town even though I wasn't born there. I now live in West Palm Beach, Florida and this video made me very sad and home sick. I've traveled and live in many parts of America, and I can honestly say New Yorkers are my favorite people, they're the most realest and smartest unlike these zombies here in Florida.

Best part for everyone at the time was that Vietnam was over. The country felt relieved.

Wow, it looks as if NYC was a lot grittier and run down in the late 70s. Not like today. I just got back from a three day visit and it's a far different place. Kinder, more polite...

+Scott Hayden You have no idea what NYC was like in the 70's and 80's. Today is heaven compared to that time period.

+Daniel Kelegian Lots of fun too. The thing that stands out for me were the concerts. From the Filmore, CBGBs, Central Park, Maxs Kansas City, MSG all the best played here.
