These 41 Photographs Of 41 Blocks Make Manhattan Feel Like A Limitless Vortex

Filmmaker Paul Trillo took 41 photos of 41 New York City blocks between the hours of 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. and strung them together in this hypnotizing video. Shot on a Nokia Lumia 1020, the video gives the feeling of being sucked into a limitless vortex. In fact, Trillo said the idea for the short was inspired by the opening credits of the movie Limitless.

Anyway, "41x41' is a good watch, and worth the minor vertigo it might induce.

10 Things To Do, See And Eat In NYC This Fall
Sugar and Plumm (Upper West Side)(01 of10)
Open Image Modal
For sweet seekers -- and family travelers -- kid-friendly Sugar and Plumm hits the spot. These "purveyors of Yumm" offer up a dizzying spread of croissants, bars, macarons, tarts and cookies smack in the middle of the white and violet space. There's also a colorful dining area for digging into more savory options like pulled pork and waffles, Cobb wedge salad and NY strip. Park at the communal tables to enjoy a sundae -- plus free Wi-Fi.377 Amsterdam Ave. sugarandplumm.com. 212.787.8778
Pork Slope (Brooklyn)(02 of10)
Open Image Modal
The new Barclays Stadium, and soon-to-be home of the Brooklyn Nets, is sure to attract first-time visitors to Brooklyn, but it's the borough's bustling food scene that'll keep them coming back for more. Aside from its clever name, the Pork Slope (located in Park Slope) has plenty to offer to the casual diner. While swine is the main attraction, the BBQ joint offers a number of alternatives, like Chicago-styled hot dogs, tater tots, sandwiches and a plethora of cheap brews and craft ales. If '80s movies are your thing, then you'll appreciate the nod to Patrick Swayze's Road House, which can be found throughout the interior. Twenty bucks can get you pretty far at this 'hood joint, so you're bound to leave happy. 247 Fifth Ave. porkslopebrooklyn.com. 718.768.7675
Cove Lounge (Harlem)(03 of10)
Open Image Modal
Cove Lounge is a fresh uptown hotspot and the latest venture of Harlem resident and real estate heavyweight Alyah Horsford-Sidberry. Get your pre-game on in the leather-couched upstairs lounge with refreshing cocktails like the Cove Martini, a smooth blend of Van Gogh Peach Vodka, fresh lemon juice, mint leaves, and Prosecco that even the most vodka-phobic will enjoy sipping. The food, which Bobby Flay helped to create on the Food Network's "3 Days to Open," is the antithesis of "bar food" including creamy Blue Crab & Grits, Spiced Fries, and Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese. When you're ready to amp up the night, head downstairs to the lounge, where you'll dance the night away with Harlem's hip and sexy set. 325 Lenox Ave. coveloungenyc.com. 212.665.3455
Murray's Cheese Bar (West Village)(04 of10)
Open Image Modal
New York is known for many things, but cheese isn't one of them. This, however, hasn't stopped the success of the renowned Murray's Cheese Shop. Now, owners of the decades old fromagerie are offering customers a cheesier experience just a few doors down. When you're done stocking up on Gruyère, take a stroll to the Cheese Bar. The simple sit-down eatery offers the same bountiful supply of cheese from around the globe served up in any way you can imagine. Dip it, fry it, spread it 'round - or pair it with any of the over 200 craft beers available at the bar. 264 Bleecker St. murrayscheesebar.com. 646.476.8882
A.G. Kitchen (Upper West Side)(05 of10)
Open Image Modal
Chef Alex Garcia's American and Latin roots are evenly reflected in his latest concept, A.G. Kitchen. Aside from the prominent location in the UWS, everything about the place is pretty lax, from its feel-good grilled cheese sandwiches and burgers to the Latin-infused tacos and paella. We may be on our way to fall, but the lingering summer weather is the perfect excuse to order a spiked milkshake or a butterscotch ice Cream sundae. Guests can escape the general dining-area crowd and head over to the lounge - better known as the Cabanas - for a more intimate ambiance. 269 Columbus Ave. agkitchen.com 212.873.9400
Pop on Park Maison 24 (Upper East Side)(06 of10)
Open Image Modal
While most furniture stores on the Upper East Side feature pieces of a more traditional décor, brother-sister duo Louis Marra and Allison Julius have successfully prescribed a healthy dose of whimsy for Park Ave., Maison 24. Step inside the shop, which is more a furniture boutique than an impersonal furniture emporium, and you're instantly transported to the home of your dreams, where Lucite abounds and Louis XV chairs are given an update with leather studded seats and the message: "Love Hurts." Even if you're not in the market for new furniture or a collectible piece of art, you'll have a difficult time leaving Maison 24 empty-handed. From a French salad dressing to a Swarovski crystal-encrusted Pop Phone, Maison 24 has something for everyone.470 Park Ave. maison24.com. 212.355.2414
