Photographer Ronnie Ginnever shares more of her pictures New York, this time from the late 1970s and 1980s. You can see her great photos form the city in the 1960s here.

Now she takes us back to the MUDD club, shows us Susann Dalton’s jacket for the Palladium and we buy some smokes from a ‘cigarette girl’ at The Ritz. We see Snoopy at the 1981 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and family’s day out on 5th Avenue.
