First Random Subway Day of Summer

First Manhattan stop--bathroom in this ritzy hotel right outside the subway, across the street from Century 21. It is very clean, very modern and well equipped. No one cares if you are a guest at the hotel or not.

The area is still being worked on. This is the side street, north of Century 21. For any tourists, you should hit this store. It has fantastic bargains. It has been featured on Sex and the City and the TLC show What Not To Wear.

Great buildings seen walking uptown on Park Row.

Part of Woolworth Building

Another great building, still walking uptown.

Skyline showing Financial Center. The Twin Towers used to be here.

You can get your shoes repaired from this lady on the street.

This guy changed batteries in four watches for $12. He did a great job.

There are four of these on one block on Mulberry St.

City Hall

City Hall Park. In the center "Parks are the refuge of the people."

I've been on this block in Little Italy hundreds of times yet never noticed this building painted the colors of the Italian flag.


Guy trying to convince tourists to try his restaurant. I once got plied with wine to eat in a certain place. The wine and food was great.

Interesting and cheap tee shirts.

Beautiful fruit.

Another great building.

Only in NY!

Another park.

One of the best dessert places in Little Italy.

I think this guy was in love with his reflection.

Waiting for free admission to Hell Boy III

Miles and miles of books. The only problem is the store is not air conditioned. There is a good selection outside for $1.00 a piece.

Park your bikes and ride the subway.

Elevated parking garage.
