East River Says Hello
[nggallery id=6] I was over by the East River today towards the end of the day when the light is pretty good. I took around 60 shots and edited them down to this gallery. While us folks on the far Upper West Side have Riverside Park, the far Upper East Siders have Wards Island on [...]
Feeling Better
It’s nice to be over it more or less especially since I never meant to turn this blog into a mere status report (see Twitter). A couple things: The Wall Street Journal is actually making good sense. All of the endless posturing, fear-mongering, and overspending on the War on Terror™ has got to stop if [...]
Vertical Triptych – The Hamilton Fish Bridge
A very nice bridge. Along with train stations, bridges are among the best sort of public construction. Highways are too ubiquitous. Airports have been ruined by x-rays and TV sets.

Park Space of Bergen, NJ
When I had my car fixed in Bergen recently, I took a stroll and found some parks. If you ever get sick of the grass, just put some cement in there. Place benches next to nice neighbor’s sign. Place benches in inviting formations to foster public debate and near sign discouraging public debate when the [...]

Dia:Beacon Benches
A photo series. I was up there earlier today and had a blast.
Chicken Dudes of Rockefeller Center
On weekend nights the guys at 53rd and Sixth have a line stretching down the block while the chicken dudes a block or two away have nobody. You can pretty much make your own dish yourself. I’m usually vegetarian and don’t eat this crap but I tell you from days when I sampled the street [...]

Blue Lights Means It’s Not City Center
55th Street the other night… A pot dealer was famously murdered in this building in May, 2001. There’s a gimcrack roof bar on top of the Dream Hotel which also has an aquarium that takes up a fourth of the lobby. The City Center Theater repeats much of the same tried and true calendar year [...]
The Ghost at KGB
Some bars are more photogenic than others.

Astor Row in Harlem
I had the pleasure of working in one of these houses the other day. The entire block has a great history. Kevin is negotiating a coffee run here or something.
Doing What I Can for Saturday Summer Streets
These two pics show bikes for rent on Governor’s Island. New York is doing this “open streets” event, Summer Streets, for three Saturdays in a row (8/8, 8/15, 8/22) but whoever’s in charge of publicizing it, is doing a strange job of it. Is it for people who have never ridden a bike to work? [...]
