    <em>Photo of fallen tree in Bed Stuy by <a href="http://www.martinamaffini.com/">Martina Maffini</a></em><p><a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/tag/hurricane-sandy/" target="_blank">Hurricane Sandy</a> has not been kind to New Yorkers. The monster storm swept through the city on Monday and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/photos-hurricane-sandy-already-flooding-brooklyn/">caused destruction in every borough</a>, but despite the fallen trees, flooded subways and precariously dangling cranes, New Yorkers kept trucking on and many were out and about documenting the damage. Read on for photos - some taken by us and some sent to us by readers - of what the city is looking like post-Sandy.
