Aboveground, Manhattan's Riverside Park provides open space for the densely populated Upper West Side.
Beneath its surface run railroad tunnels, disused for decades, where over the years unhoused people have taken shelter.
The sociologist Terry Williams ventured into the tunnel residents' world, seeking to understand life on the margins and out of sight. He visited the tunnels between West Seventy-Second and West Ninety-Sixth Streets hundreds of times from 1991 to 1996, when authorities cleared them out to make way for Amtrak passenger service, and again between 2000 and 2020.
