Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Walk its streets and you're likely to hear a snippet of the hundreds of languages spoken in New York City. Foreign tongues and foreign-born people are what make the Big Apple the cosmopolitan town that it is. And who accounts for the city's appeal—and noise—so well as its children? This is, after all, the city where you can overhear "don't pick your nose" and "you're bucking for a time out," in Russian, Hebrew, Spanish, and Tagalog within just a few blocks. Photographer Danny Goldfield decided to capture portraits of young New Yorkers with roots in every country on Earth. So far, his photographic mission has snapped shots of the offshoots of nearly 150 nations. With the project's final steps within view, we remain impressed, awed, and humbled by the beauty and promise of Gotham's youth. We thank the kids, their parents, and Goldfield for so many glimpses of the world's natural beauty, all nestled in one amazing city.
