The New York Times' Year in New York Pictures

From the Occupy Wall Street movement to Hurricane Irene, to the legalization of gay marriage, 2011 contained many memorable moments for the city. The New York Times — along with its “Year in Pictures” interactive section, which is fantastic — has attempted to capture those events in photographs, and they’re all available today.

If you have a few minutes while works winds down, we suggest you check out the slideshow. It’s well worth your time.
