Went to East 9th Street yesterday in search of spiritual guidance. Also found the Eileen Fisher shop.
Much to see on Second Avenue for someone who rarely leaves the west side.........
A few light snowflakes. Smell of freshly ground coffee. Lunch at the Ukranian diner.
The east side has much more graffiti than the west.

Love the Chinese food window!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could resist eating somewhere that bills itself as the best chinese restaurant! Great pictures!

You are fortunate to find so much exoticness (new word) in such a short trip. No real ethnic anything here.
ReplyDeleteIn Sydney there was a graffiti artist who just wrote 'Eternity' wherever he went. No-one ever found out who he was. I particularly like the 'precious' comment.
ReplyDeleteHad to Google it...

I love the second graffiti pic! Would you mind if I post it on my sidebar? I'll give you credit, of course. :^)
ReplyDeleteI'm green with envy of your trip to the Eileen Fisher outlet.
BEautiful Elizabeth! I love graffiti and an urban adventure with a lovely author is calling me... I'll get the white room in order and see about booking a train ticket - yes I will indeed!
ReplyDeletemuch love and plotting to see you soon

love these shots Elizabeth, but the third image really does it for me!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to eat at the Ukrainian diner --my maternal grandmother was from Kiev.
Graffiti seems to be on the increase again all over town. I don't like it most of the time as I find it destructive to private property, but I did enjoy that little bit of philosophic graffiti that you found :-) I sometimes find that in Greenwich Village.
Happy 2009!
Hello Elizabeth,
ReplyDeletePorto Rico coffe and Eileen's original outpost ... more rare samples than outlet, but richer for that. Love those folks on 9th Street.
Were you in NYC back when we would ride the subways and see what Keith Haring had written overnight on blank poster spaces in the subways, or see what SAMO (aka Mr. Basquiat) had wisely scribbled? All that seems so long ago. To have a piece of chalk in the hand of an artist sending out a special message that anyone who took the time would see as sooo true.
Happy New Year, continued birthday wishes! xo
Casper is such a friendly ghost!
ReplyDeleteEven on a cold day he's smiling.
Happy almost Birthday to you!!
