Waiting on 23rd Street

New Yorkers are notoriously not very good at waiting

 for things -- though they do a certain amount of it.

Crossing the road is somewhat safe -- 

at least in comparison with India and Morocco. 

This is a good place to text or talk on the cell phone.

Free snow cones to promote a new TV show!

Are they being offered only to young men wearing

blue, white or navy?

The little girls at the bus stops all had ice creams.

Looking Up

Went for a walk yesterday afternoon in west Chelsea towards the Hudson. a brilliant blue sky and lovely white clouds.
Manhattan is pretty much a vertical city - so one inevitably looks up.
Here the cross streets of 10th Avenue and 24th.



This new building is going to have an elevator inside so people can bring their CARS up to their floor with them.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this - except to think some people must have absurd amounts of money. They will also have views of the Hudson River.



A wonderful modern building - all glass and reflections.
Yesterday west New York was in the direct flight path to LaGuardia or maybe Kennedy.



Blue skies over 11th Avenue in the gallery district.



The Good Humor man - with traditional truck and uniform.
Too hard to resist.
