These pictures are of the scale model of New York City (although I missed Staten Island in these shots!) The scale is 1 inch equals 100 feet and the model covers over 9000 square feet. It was built for the 1964 World's Fair in Queens. For 10 cents you could take a faux helicopter ride over the city in one of the most popular attractions at the fair.
The city has changed a lot in 50 years and the model has been updated a few times though not recently. (Couldn't they put some trees in Central Park???) It's worth a visit!
