Winter is coming and it’s been dreary for the last few days, so I thought I’d finish up my list of favorite New York and New Yorker documentaries to get you through the cold. We’ve got movies on artists, photographers, a tour guide, fashion icons, New York history, pick-up basketball, the Bowery, the people who live in the subway tunnels, and more. My personal favorite is The Cruise.

I put links to where you can find the full-length versions, but seven of these can be watched for free directly on YouTube. Enjoy!
