The new fountain at Columbus Circle, out in the middle of traffic, is an unexpected oasis from the cars, and the stress of shopping at the Time Warner Center across the street. Please click to enlarge.
Same night at Grand Ferry Park. I can't explain this, unless maybe it was from the photo shoot? Pagan ritual? Regardless, there are one or two naked ducks running around.
Feathers?!?
Grand ferry park (and garden/er). This guy was tending to the weeds in the garden with his cane. Don't know if it is his garden or not, but helping to make it grow.
Grooming couple.
Looks like this group (far left) just finished a photo shoot.

Walked down into the City Hall subway stop, and heard this great singing around the corner. This is what I saw.
Turns out they got on the next train with me. They had been practicing their 5-part harmony. Here they are, singing for their supper. They were not your average subway entertainers, and people were quite happy to listen to them. Watch for them on the R,W.
I'm not going to lose my temper, i'm not going to lose my temper. . .
I was still in there after 4pm, closing time. I guess once you get your numbered ticket, they stay until you are taken care of, or at least get your turn at the window to be turned away lacking a form, signature, (add your reason here), etc.
I got in trouble for taking this photo. Not sure what they want to hide in here at the DMV. Maybe they are worried about someone memorizing the eye chart? DO NOT memorize the eye chart!
Margaritas, beer, hot dogs.
and beach volleyball, with a tremendous view of the Manhattan skyline.
Yeah! A new state park is going in 1 block west of our warehouse loft. Looks like it might be finished in time for summer. Then we will have a season to enjoy the waterfront before all the humongous residential tower projects go in along the river there. More photos to follow later this week.
New state park on north 9th and Kent street.

This thing is growing on the southwest corner of Central Park, just north of Columbus Circle, hence the building's name: 15 CPW. The old Mayflower Hotel was torn down to make way for this new crazy-exclusive stack of condos. Prices start at 3 million.
This new apparition in pink was on the freight elevator door of our building's loading dock when I came home one night this past week. As I walked around the next day, I started seeing it elsewhere, as on the fence in the first picture.
Fellow drinkers enjoy the out door patio. How many bars have a slider?

East River Bar neighbor.
Sorry Jade. I guess you and your Suicidal Tendencies are going to have to remain sideways.

Decided to check out one of the bars from the previous post of cheap outdoor summer drink venues. Headed to the East River Bar on S. 6TH and Berry, just south of Williamsburg Bridge.
Its a rustically poetic setting.
