Lunch Rush on Fifth Avenue, New York
c. 1950

A bustling city street scene in black and white, crowded with pedestrians and vintage cars. People are dressed in mid-20th-century attire, suggesting a historical setting. The street is lined with buildings adorned with flags, and ornate street lamps are visible. The density of the crowd and the number of vehicles suggest a busy urban environment, possibly during a special event or rush hour.
