Seen Around Town



The city is pretty nice when everyone goes away for the long weekend and


the town fills up with tourists and out of towners. This is a rather muddled picture of a garbage truck reflected in the window of the now defunct Viceroy diner on 8th Avenue.


This man is waiting to cross 17th Street. A century ago people would have been aghast to see a woman in pants.....equal opportunity in clothing for all.....


People in general on 14th St and 9th Avenue.


A rather retro dry cleaners.............


I'm not quite sure where this character (seen here on the corner of 23rd St and 8th Avenue) gets his costume laundered. For some reason I sight him about once a year.


We used to have one crossing guard who actually crossed children and handicapped people. We now have three who chat to each other........


Anyway, I managed to walk on the little bit of The High Line between 20th and 23rd Street that for some reason I'd missed. A nice soft lawn for sitting on.....


and a grove of trees to emerge from.......

Some friends have recently enjoyed a Central Park Sightseeing tour
which makes me think that visitors know much more about New York than I do.
Rain until the end of the week - rather a relief after much too hot!
