So we’ve heard Empire State of Mind, seen Taxi Driver but is New York City actually anything like the way it’s being portrayed? Well, even if we can’t visit it, there’s a way to find the answer to this question online.

The Instagram account WhatIsNewYork shares user-submitted pictures and videos taken in the Big Apple, showing New York City documented through the eyes of its residents.

One quick glimpse and you’ll see a shirtless guy strolling through a snowy street, a pack of dogs posing for a picture with bunny ears, and petty revenge — all the reasons why WhatIsNewYork already has over 834K followers.
