Photo by myself on West 47th Street in the Diamond District.
The Diamond District looks like it's from a different era completely.
The Diamond District is not so much a neighborhood these days than one city block. 47th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, is lined with small stores selling precious gemstones and jewelry settings.
The kiosk above is tiny, just deep enough for a normally-sized human. Despite its size, the kiosk has roll down doors to protect against theft.

Such a mysterious kiosk. Looks unreal with door. Like a door to nowhere.
Fine picture
I like the gentleman on the right side.
with his head down he looks like from a different age as well.

Hi Kitty, I find the diamond district so weird, it's like a microcosm of the universe. You literally see all walks of life on that single block. It's fascinating!!
There must be a very tiny person inside, no obese I suppose. The diamond district is mostly the jewish part of a city, the gentleman with the big hat looks like an orthodox. A lovely picture.
That kiosk is the smallest thing I've ever seen. I could never work in such a small environment. Small spaces panic me. Great picture, as usual. :)
what a wonderfully old newsstand. Don't tell Bloomie, he'll send out the blue and green glass brigade ASAP
A kiosk for a thin person! Great to see that it has survived!
You can just 'feel' the atmosphere of that part of the city in your photo .. Love to see NYC pictures, greetings from Belgium
The blue box must be for cold drinks...or ice creams!
Love this!
