The city that never sleeps

There are lots of reasons why it's called this. The most obvious, and my favourites are that all the bars, diners and subways are open 24/7.

However, it's not just the public face of New York that never sleeps. The photo below was taken around midnight as a team of workmen (there must have been well over 20 guys involved) started work mending a pipeline.

In the UK? Start around 10am, pack up at 5pm. Seeing this makes that kind of thing seem even more annoying and embarrassing.
