around town – Page 28 – Walk with Me, Too

The appeal is real

It took will power.

I walked down the whole block without snapping a single shot.

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.

The theme is “domes between high rises.”

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.

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.

Neighborly sights

Cherokee Place and the Pavillion abut John Jay Park. The river ripples by us, seen over the FDR traffic. End of the summer season is here so this was the last sighting of the orange umbrellas at poolside.

Hubby’s enjoying the water view.

Over the FDR

Across the river, Roosevelt Island looms, its residences crammed compactly into elongated real estate.

Picture this

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Only if you’re following me here… and here…. and there.

MTC used to perform at this venue. For someone living only a few blocks away, the UES theater was a special treat.

What a great New York story this corner could tell!

Construction is a huge part of all stories in NYC. This site didn’t leave room for a pedestrian walkway. Tsk tsk.

Old stomping grounds

The old brewery site

James Cagney was from around this way.

Detailed

These buildings are such an odd contrast.

Odd details in the archways on this skyrise grab my attention.

New hangs over and overhangs the older and the old.

I see a lot of this pleasing style of red brick low rise all over the UES.

So many colorful facades to engage the eye and mind!
