Boats on display

What’s doing?

A walk outside my immediate neighborhood

I am on a teriyaki shrimp bowl break. The mitzvah van had bells like an ice cream truck.

There’s a lot of variety in glass buildings at the NYU Langone campus. And elsewhere, I would venture. Glass mixed with brick make for an interesting contrast at this corner.

Rainy days

1. There was a spruce up committed to the facade on this property on E68. Very nice.

2. Plantings meant to convey the feel of Fall really brightened my dreary day.

3. Slick wet sidewalk, yet it’s still a lovely day.

4. Rain’s not so formidable when you’re armed with your umbrella.

Name Fame

Some of our city’s worst have their names plastered about town. It’s a garden of conservative bigwigs. [I’m sorry, was I being judgmental?]

Seeing this sign anew would have made me change my ambition to put up my name on a building.

More glass

Glass bricks are a great concept. You see light through them, and your privacy on the other side of the wall is still protected.

This wall of glass is at the back end of a “secret” garage on 78th Street.

Signs and portents

Where to? All the signs point to the FDR downtown?

Glass houses

Here’s a building that often catches my eye. I can not tell you what the architectural details mean or portend.

Isn’t it splendid!

Architectural details

Which topics would you like to be more informed about?

One who gawks at buildings and looks for details in every facade should have an encyclopedic knowledge of architectural anatomy.

I confess I don’t. Shame on me.

Another short foray

81st between York and 1st is an odd little hodge-podge.

Rainy day windows and a display of a still summery-green bed nearby.

Coffee, nah! Make that Latte

The cookies (with Claudio’s signature penguin) are a great addition to a latte-break at Tozzo.

Your tastebuds may not be as forgetful as mine.

Shame on them for dismissing the most memorable latte ever.

Latte or cappuccino is often the question, but I enjoy one or ‘tother wherever I find myself.

Gotta be sure to find myself at Tozzo more regularly.

That’s one epic coffee drink!
