New York City, June 16th, 2010

Mid-Manhattan branch of the public library:


Close-up of those two contrasting signs:








The subway! I measured it as being three people shoulder-to-shoulder in width:

I just really enjoyed this, every time:


The corner of 73rd and Lexington:




I took a few photos of the apartments in this area, as that's probably where Sam lives (I don't know why she would walk 5 blocks to take a taxi...)





The Strand Bookstore in the Village (Greenwich Village, that is):


Look at that gum on the ground!

I just thought it was interesting that on one side of the book are these old books (intellectualism! quickly becoming a thing of the past!), and reflected are cars (industry! machines!), and a sign for Ugg boots (materialism!), and in the upper right hand corner you can see a building (urbanization!):



Inside the strand bookstore (this struck me as very dramatic):


Across the street (and there is no Dead City Cafe in existence):


But there IS a really cool record store on another corner. I found a recording of the monologues in Ulysses, but they weren't read very well, so I went with Edith Piaf and Simon and Garfunkel records instead.


My friend took this picture, and I think it is just wonderful. Especially because Woody Allen is right in the middle.
