Postcards: Dead Rat on Subway Tracks

Oh, poor little (actually, it was huge) fella!  So sad :(

Postcards: Exotic Wildlife Sightings

I have run into some tube-people here and there but this week was sort of busier on that count:
The guy below sat right next to me on the N train @ Union Sq.  We actually had the same skechers on down to the same color…..of course his were newer and about 3-4 sizes bigger.  No, I [...]

The Hat Of All Evil

It is no secret that New Yorkers are a sour bunch.  They take their *toughest people in the toughest city in the world* slogan very seriously and then of course they put it into practice in the *if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere* slogan by being in a sense bullies.
None [...]

Postcards: Angry Hello Kitty

I was fighting making my way through Times Square when I spotted this old Asian lady dressed as a Hello Kitty just outside the giant M&M store (I love that place!) and I promptly walked over to her to take a picture ’cause I have this friend of mine who’s obsess with Hello Kitty shit [...]

Postcards: Village Halloween Parade

Ok, I unfortunately wasn’t able to get many pictures.  For one thing, my sense of direction is still fucked so getting to the volunteer sign-in table was delayed by me going south when I thought I was going north.  Then I was told to go one way to find the “dragons” and they weren’t anywhere [...]

Postcards: American Museum of Natural History and Planetarium

The Subway: If You See A Half-empty Car During Rush-hour Don’t Get In.

This is a tale of terror so beware!
I innocently get into a train car that’s amazingly empty compare to the other cars that had gone by before the train stopped.  So wanting to take a break from standing up and read up a bit more on the book I’m currently obsessing over, I get in [...]

Postcards: Empire State Building-at Dusk,in Rain.

I have seen the Empire State Building so many times…. I remember the first time I saw it in person some 5 years ago and the painfully long wait it took to go up to the observatory.  For those who haven’t done it, they make you circle (practically) the whole lobby until you finally get [...]

Postcards: The Dakota

I’ve been playing tourist and taking random pictures all over the place…. must be the rain’s influence or something.
The Dakota may not be the coolest looking building in all of NY but it certainly has its allure.  I’ve always fantasized about living there and this has nothing to do with John Lennon but with two [...]
