A story
Its texture and patterning spoke to me.
An oddity
What is strange about this sight is not that the vehicle is parked at a hydrant. I didn’t notice that until I had been staring at it for about ten minutes.
It’s that it’s a tank in a sports car’s body. Or perhaps a sports car that is clad as a tank?

Playground tourism
These out of city-ites were just sitting for a spell.
They’re taking up residence at John Jay instead.
It bothers me perhaps more than it should.
P.S. they left.
UES…Bodega?
The naming of this convenience store is quaint and exotic.
Considering its location.
The awning
Grubbs has been teasing us with opening for a very long time. It won’t happen until they change that sign from York Avenue Kitchen.
Top this!
Let’s grab a cup
787 is a stone’s throw from a Starbucks under renovation.
Peek or peer hard to the end of the block. I felt very lucky at this happenstance.
Folks at most Starbucks that I have visited have been very nice.
The 80th and Second Ave is no exception; recently, when I dramatically took a spill upon entrance, they were especially nice. Their coffee is another matter, although I have found the flat whites to be quite good.
That said, I know I admire 787’s variety of caffeine. Today, I also got some super royal treatment with my drink and blueberry bread.
The barista escorted me up the stairs, carrying my coffee. Offered similar assistance down into their cool work space. When I opted for staying outdoors, but for the wet, he ran in for a towel.
So here I sit, enjoying sidewalk café seating. My cup runneth over if I may coin or purloin a phrase.
