Ryan Gosling Pictures Lunching in NYC

Ryan Gosling popped up in NYC yesterday after a long stint in Thailand working on Only God Forgives. His girlfriend Eva Mendes packed up and went to spend time with him in Asia. Eva, though, wasn't by Ryan's side for lunch in the Big Apple yesterday. Ryan's been hanging out in the city for the last few weeks, and even reportedly reprised his role as a lifesaver. After breaking up a fight between two men last year, Ryan recently saved a British journalist from being hit by a car. We're celebrating the actor's real-life heroism with a look at Ryan Gosling's hottest moments.
