Old & New LES

Lower East Side at Houston & Ludlow Streets

Sign Overload!

Too many signs out the car window at this intersection near Stuyvesant Cove.

Long Island City

Looking from the 7 Train in Long Island City towards Manhattan and the Queensboro (59th Street Bridge) in the background.

Under the Bridge

Commuter ferry passing under the Williamsburg Bridge

Eataly

Line of peeps waiting to get into Eataly on 23rd Street.

Empire State Building

The Empire State Building as seen from an apartment in Penn South on 9th Ave. This view will be dramatically changed in a few years when 15 Penn Plaza is built. It will be nearly as tall as the ESB and just a few short blocks away from what is one of NYC's most recognizable landmarks.

Bike City

First Avenue is the latest to get NYC's new bike lane/bus lane/parking scheme intended to increase safety for cyclists and speed bus flow. The bicycle lane is at the curb on the west side of the avenue. The parking lane is next and separates bicyclists from moving traffic. The two lanes closest to the curb on the east side of the avenue are reserved for buses.
