Crosby Street, SoHo

Crosby is a great little street in SoHo: cobble stones, narrow, kinda alley feeling but not in a creepy way. It's a nice break from Broadway that has become nothing more than a shopping mall. This is what Crosby Street feels like to me: busy enough, but not too busy, graffiti covered walls and garage doors, and the hint of the downtown skyline beyond.

Lunch at La Esquina

LM & I love this place, La Esquina. It's on the corner between Lafayette & Kenmare. I'm about to dig in to some soft shell tacos with jalapenos and pickled onions, and a side of "crazy corn" that consists of corn on the cob covered in cheese and sprinkled with hot pepper. It's a perfect place to sit in the sun, watch the downtown crowd, and enjoy amazing food.

Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

After an extraordinary amount of rain in the beginning of the month, it looks like summer has finally arrived. I suppose it's good to get the rain out of the way early on so we don't have a drought in the city this summer. All the rain did bring out the green on the trees. Here's a shot looking up at some pre-war buildings on my block.

Bloomberg Plaza

I was out and about on the first warm sunny day of the Memorial Day Weekend and I was up at the Bloomberg Builing. The shapes of these two buildings made for a great composition.

Then I saw this guy sitting down on the curb. At first he had his head in his hands but as I took the shot he looked up and then walked away.
