Collections of Things

This is a guessing game. I took this picture this morning on my way

 to the dog park. 22nd Street between 10th and 11th Avenues.

Lots of swanky art galleries.....

I will put the answer* in small writing at the bottom of the post.

These suitcases were outside the Chelsea Hotel.

But why are they so old fashioned?

Why don't they have little wheels?

Do you think they smell nice?

(No answers to these questions).

Guitars. Yes, you guessed right.

A collection of heirloom tomatoes.

Do they taste better or worse than regular tomatoes?

I will have to try some. 

*Bottles of Poland Spring water lying on their side. Not art. Maybe art.

A Walk Down 23rd Street

West 23rd Street is probably most famous for the infamous Chelsea Hotel.
When my friend M. stayed there, a huge door fell off a closet and hit her.
When my brother and his wife stayed there, we all enjoyed watching a photo shoot for the most exotic lingerie.
But you can also buy a guitar right next door.



Eat Spanish food.



You can go to church.
Look at all the TV and film vans. Currently three different productions being shot here.



You can look in the lobby of the hotel which is sort of dumpy for all that.
And rather expensive for what it is.
Perhaps you are paying for ambiance and history.



You can buy packing materials to send things to far away places.
Or get a very stylish tattoo with an Asian flavor.




And watch them dig up the street from the window of the bus.
