We’d love to meet face to face

76th St and Broadway, New York

Back in NYC for a couple of months this summer (been back over 3 weeks already, truth be told). I have not been tremendously inspired in my time back, so switching back to one post per day.

Work in Progress: Memories

East 86th Street, New York

On this site once stood the Orpheum Theater, next to it on the corner, Gray’s Papaya, and to the right of that on Third Avenue, a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop where I worked evenings a few days a week in High School.

East 96th Street, New York

I posted a picture of this spot before, shot from 2nd Avenue. A beloved playground, managed by “Whitey,” it was a victim of the Second Avenue Subway construction.
