NYC 200-2005 offers a time capsule, a snapshot of what he and his friends were getting into back then figuring their lives out, meeting people, making memories and now, reminiscing on what was. "New York, just before and after 9/11. Downtown hipsters, musicians, skateboarders, artists and vandals. The city was alive. This book is a document of our NY just before everything changed." - Alain Levitt. Notorious for his documentation of the downtown New York City party scene of the early to mid-2000s, photographer Alain Levitt became well-known for his photos of underground artists, musicians, actors, and socialites like Chloe Sevigny, Johnny Depp, Amanda Lepore, Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, IRAK Crew: Sace, Earsnot, Fanta, KSToday. Walking through Dimes Square where his and his wife's restaurant, Bacaro, has become a premiere meeting hub for the neighborhood's youth, Alain recognizes that while "it's such a different world," the kids are still the same. "Young people are young people, man. It's different being older and not really understanding what's going on. I don't fully feel like I'm part of it in the same way but I love it and it seems the same, but one thing I see is it's more colorful, it's animated, and everything seems kind of to an extreme that I really love." When Bacaro first opened in 2007, there was no Dimes Square. He likens the emergence of the neighborhood to "the beginning of Williamsburg when that kind of popped off and all of a sudden, if you went down Bedford, it was just young people everywhere and everybody was dressing outrageous." Back then, congregating in Bedford symbolized a communal rejection of Manhattan.
