BEFORE DAWN IN NEW YORK CITY

Bar doors shut at 4:30 am, sending late-nighters stumbling to the streets as sanitation trucks begin clearing the sidewalks. As dawn approaches, early morning workers start their commute, sipping coffee on their way to the office. Between this intersection lies the hour when "the city that never sleeps" is mainly quiet.
