Have you ever wondered what it was like before Bushwick became the modern, creative, controversial neighborhood we all know?

A new app called OldNYC lets you access an interactive map of NYC built with 40,000 historical images from the New York Public Library’s digital collection. Just open up the app in any of the five boroughs, and historical images near your current location will pop up on the map. Images, information and the year the photo was taken are all there.

Give the app a spin in Bushwick to discover two 19th century breweries that have since become bodegas. In the 1850’s, Bushwick had a huge brewery scene: “Brewer’s Row” was swath of 14 breweries in a 14 block radius.
