NYC is just one of those magical places, a seemingly endless sea of humanity and urbanity. I've been several times but it still manages to knock my socks off. I just returned from a four-day visit - ended up taking hundreds of photos. Here's Part I.
FINANCIAL DISTRICT
The beautiful American International Building from my hotel room.
The NYSE. The entire building is barricaded so no vehicle can approach.
And at night...
The beautiful Woolworth Building from Broadway.
Holy canyons Batman.
Mmm... architecture...
George watching over the traders.
Trinity Church at the end of Wall St.
At the south end of Lower Manhattan.
The local "merchants" picking up boxes of Rolexes.
GREENWICH VILLAGE
That's a huge amount of cow.
Now we know where the Morgan design came from.
WASHINGTON SQUARE
Some sort of Hare Krishna festival going on at the time.
Managed to catch some of the parade. Yay.
What's that building called again?
EAST VILLAGE
Great Afghan restaurant in the East Village... mmm...
CHELSEA
Look at the size of this mofo apartment complex.
This old warehouse would make for great loft space. Lots of industrial conversions going on in Chelsea... sort of like the Distillery District on steroids.
"New Joisey" from across the river.
THE SUBWAY
One of New York's classy subway entrances.
All by myself in the train.
Many stations have been re-done... Rector St. used to be a mess.
Doodads and pippypoos at 110th St.
Yup, it happens in NYC too.
WORLD TRADE CENTER SITE
MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS / COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
A nice new building at Columbia.
Overlooking Harlem.
HARLEM
A large Islamic presence in Harlem... that and evangelical Christians. A very cool vibrant 'hood in transition with some of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen.
The Malcolm Shabazz Mosque
Worshippers leaving Sunday service.
Malcolm X Blvd.
Not all the houses have been renovated.
Gentrification has arrived... not the Harlem we're used to hearing about.
Harlem's H&M.
Vibrant 125th St.
The Apollo Theater
NEW YORK CONDOS
A couple of "Toronto-style" condos.
This one's a beauty... very high quality decoish thing.
Close to Columbia University.
RANDOM CITY SHOTS
A quaint European cafe on Houston St. Watched some of the Argentina/Ivory Coast match there.
I think this is Broadway... can't remember.
6th Avenue.
Wow, those DCers are really pissed.
There's that building again.
Hope you enjoyed Part I... watch for Part II!
