Our Hotel
This is our spartan, but oh so cheap, hotel room.
Astor Place, East Village
Some of the Street names were marked with these cool mosaics on the signposts.
They honked anyway. If NYC ever needs a source of revenue all they have to do is enforce that ordinance.
East Village
This was in the window of a gallery next door to the old CBGB location. The show was an exhibition of photographs by synthesizer artist Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. Musicians photographing musicians, hijacked advertising logos, and a subsequently viewed Met special exhibition on photographers who built bodies of work photographing the photography of others lends credence to the statement, "All art is derivative" Discuss.
Times Square
The Ferris wheel inside the Times Square Toys r Us.
View of Trinity Church from Wall street
We went to Wall Street on the Friday when the Stock Market took such a horrible nosedive.
This guy was on a lunchbreak from the nearby construction site at Ground Zero. The construction workers here know how to accessorize.
I don't know whether they have cops with assault rifles down here every day or if this was a special occasion since it was such a zoo. There were news crews and tons of people everywhere.
Another view of the NYSE
This guy was playing some appropriately somber song on his flute. Can't remember what though.
Donald's house. Across the street from Tiffany's, which I was forced to enter due to some gender based genetic compulsion. I left empty-handed of course :)
Chinatown
We took this picture for Willbob. We tried to convince him that in New York there was asparagus for sale on every street corner! He didn't buy it.
We walked around looking for a place to eat but the meat hanging in the restaurant windows had me a little creeped out. We ate pasta in Little Italy instead.
With only a couple of minor snafus; we rode all over the city on the subways.
Our "home" station
Having a car entirely to ourselves was so odd I felt the need to document it.
Street musicians in the subway are a dime a dozen but Friday night at Union Square station there was an entire brass band and they were very talented.
Grand Central Terminal
Central Park carriage horse
The view in Central Park
The Met
I wanted to get this guy together with the head a little further down the gallery.
Rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Jeff Koons sculpture on the rooftop
KC and "Two circles". He'd told me he didn't much care for Modern Art before we went so I felt compelled to show him what a good time it could really be.
Near the Met. We wandered around for a while looking at the buildings.
We wanted to buy a house near the park but couldn't come up with the 75 million dollars.
The Empire State Building from the top of Rockefeller Center
The Staten Island Ferry was one of the most enjoyable things we did and it was free to boot!
Manhattan from the Staten Island Ferry
We spotted this submarine with the crew standing on top. That's a Dutch flag so I imagine they were darn well sick of being stuck inside the thing all the way from The Netherlands...
At the NYC Public Library
Walking from the Herald Square Macy's to The Empire State Building. We didn't go to the top, but had hoped to get a good look at the lobby. It was under renovation however, and everything was draped and scaffolded.
Macy's at Herald Square
Random window shopping. I like this sculpture, but have no idea where I would put it.
