Busy street.
I love the Asian markets all over my neighborhood--their fruits and cryptic (# ?) handwritten signs.
I also like the Hispanic flower spots where bad translations turn into new, interesting, and sometimes intimidating species.
Ah Sunnyside Gardens!
Good to know they have a specialty.
Queens is totally prepared for Swine flu. Face masks grow on our trees.
I love the sentiment here.
Good thing I was alert. That guy is totally going the wrong way.
Wonderful urban planning. Just in case someone gets some bad egg salad at Foxy's...
I want to join the breakfast club, but I don't want to pay any membership.
Mmm! 7 Days !
I love families in Queens.
Sunnyside is a very Irish community. I bet those ice creams are Irish. Or at least green.

Loner
Admirable array of bags and umbrellas.
Special parking in Queens.
Love the elevated train.
American horizon: skyscrapers and McDonald's.
Don't fret - All Photoshop. Ominous. How New York often feels.
Oh swirling sky. lights so small beneath.
What a deal.
I like that they sell "speciality food, grocery, daily, and frozen food." I can't find DAILY at the stores closer to my apartment.
