The Dakota

Whenever I pass the Dakota, I look for someone who seems to live there, but there are only tourists or cars driving in--until this young woman greeted and was greeted by the guard and then walked right in. (The dog is real, by the way.)

New York in the 1950's and 60's

This is an example of what I remember it looking like....

Notice anything odd?

Cleaning the sidewalk: fall

Banana Republic: a better window than usual

Another unfortunate planting

Can you guess what's going on?

The divine Cafe Sebarsky

The intense conversations of women....

warming up

After school

One opening it's hard to get excited about

Windows

At least the one on top doesn't deaden the street.

Outside the Metropolitan Museum

My neighborhood Cuban-Chinese tries to get into the Halloween spirit

I'D prefer to have an unobstructed view out the window

I believe these flags appeared on bus windows after 9/11. I wonder who decides these things. The flags remind me of signs I used to see on the public buses in Athens at Easter-time that said something like, "Christ is Risen."

It wasn't even Halloween yet....
