New York NY

My sister is visiting for a few days, and today the weather was perfect for walking. I thought you might like to come along with us:

First, the subway to City Hall.


Then a taxi across the Brooklyn Bridge so we can walk back toward Manhattan.


Perfect opportunity for a photo


Back in downtown Manhattan: a bride


on her way to the courthouse


The sidewalk vendors setting up shop


with pretzels and soda


My favorite name for a restaurant, although I've never verified their claim


Downtown Manhattan is filled with tour buses


Windows, ready for installation


Browsing at Pearl River Mart


Color in many forms





Bubbles and more buses


Glamour in the kitchen (I may have to try that sometime!)


A quick stop to grab some lunch


which we take to the playground for a little break



Attractive shop windows


and quaint exteriors


A few bits of graffitti


and other street art (aka shoes)


Things always look good in multiples, don't they?



Movie filming all over the city this time of year


Clever signs

Economy candy: one lollipop, please


I could use one of those right about now


We're nearly home! There's Lenin greeting us from Red Square


Color in other forms (like red sequined belts)


All in all, an enjoyable way to spend a day. Thanks for joining us!

(I'm always fascinated to see how others see New York when they visit, so I thought you might enjoy seeing my perspective. Have a great weekend!)
