A video filmed in 1911 shows everyday life in New York City 100 years ago - see how it compares to Manhattan today

The film shows a boat arriving at New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty in the distance.

The harbor is still used by cruise lines, commuter ferries, and tourist boats. And the Statue of Liberty is as popular a tourist destination as ever.

The Flatiron Building, completed in 1902, was one of the tallest buildings in the world when it was built.

Today, the Flatiron Building isn't among the tallest 1,000 buildings in New York City. But its distinct appearance has made it one of the most popular and photographed landmarks in the Big Apple.

Here's a view from the top of the Flatiron Building.

Many New York streets have been widened since then to accommodate vehicle traffic, and you won't find many pedestrians wearing suits and hats anymore.

Here's Fifth Avenue, where sharply-dressed pedestrians walked passed high-end department stores.

Today, there's just as much bustle in the streets, but the surrounding buildings have gotten even taller.

Down in Battery Park, the Swedish filmographers found a statue of Swedish-American engineer John Ericsson, who designed the famous USS Monitor used by the Union Army in the Civil War.

Ericsson's statue still stands in Battery Park today.

The brand-new Manhattan Bridge, finished in 1909, had ample space for pedestrians and trains.

This is what the bridge looks like today.

In 1911, taxis shared the road with horse-drawn carriages. A typical taxi charged $0.50 a mile back then.

Taxis still rule the streets, although there are noticeably fewer horses today.
