New York native Alan Wolfson has spent years creating these insanely detailed dioramas of the city. From Peep World to a 1982 Times Square hotel room to the Canal Street subway station, he's built a miniature version of NYC's urban landscape. He notes that some scenes (specifically the Canal Street one) are not exact representations, "but rather a combination of existing and fabricated environments." (The entire thing took him 18 months to make!) You can check out more of his work right here.
