Streets of NYC

The streets of upper Manhattan
And again...

NYC parking garage...w/ elevator

3 vehicles wide...

Old Cobblestone streets...

Canal Street...

A sea of yellow cabs...

More yellow...

And again...with buildings to the sky...

Central park...

I have no idea what kind of trees these were, but loved the bark!

A mailman's cart along Canal Street...

Wall Street which was buzzing with media - for some reason...

Monument near Ground Zero...

Our shadows @ Battery Park...

The monument from the World Trade Towers Plaza that survived 9/11 with some damage.

It is now in Battery Park.

There we were...Central Park West...

Peeps of NYC

A typical hot pretzel & hot dog street vendor...
Cart lady in Chinatown... Speedy dog walker...

An interesting combo...

Traffic cop...I should have captured her with a video...she & her whistle were louder than the downtown NYC traffic and honking.

Here's a game...

Wanna play along?

Guess which one is the NYer?
Ok...it really wasn't cold...but these dogs were prepared for winter.

Two generations of buddies...

Some school girls...

A multi-tasking NY business man...

NYC @ night...

The most laughable sign in NYC - I have never heard so many cars honk, so often...

And trust me...no one was getting rich off this bylaw!
In the theatre district, just off Times Square...

And again...

Times Square

The entrance to the Manhattan Bridge...

Looking at the edge of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge as we headed over the Manhattan Bridge to quickly tour Brooklyn.

The divine smelling Hershey's store...

Which wisely handed out free Dove chocolates...

Miss M&M Liberty

The view from the top of the Rockefeller Center...

An earlier view...

And again...with the Chrysler Building lit up in the distance...

And the Rockefeller center wouldn't all fit in one pic...so this is looking from the gardens & fountain...up, up, up...

Where we got our great view of the NYC @ night.

The most hilarious little story teller...en francais

Don't worry...there are english subtitles to help you out...

A few of the building of NYC

My favourite bldg in NYC - the old bldg w/ a new top...
I believe Jackie K lived here at one point, across the street for Central park.

I loved all the fire escape stairs.

Water tanks on the bldg tops were for ??

Another favourite - the Flat Iron Bldg.

Our hotel - Hampton Inn by Hilton in the Soho district.

Garden & fountain at the bottom of the Rockefeller Center.

Getting ready for the rink at the 'Rock.

Apt in Harlem

Roof tops in Harlem

This is the bldg where Yoko Ono lives.

On our way to NYC...

There we were @ the train station in New Haven, CT...waiting for the train to NYC and trying to blend in with the commuters. (We weren't so successful...our eagerness was glarily obvious!)

We've arrived at Grand Central Terminal!

Lots of people, ticket windows, schedule panels, police, etc.

One of NY's finest - the NYPDGrand Central @ night...with the Crysler Bldg in the backgound.
Grand Cental Terminal

And again...
