September 9th – September 15th
2013
J. - work and
Michigan (for a friend's wedding). Congratulations.
No camera - no pictures.
Some famous and
some ordinary places in the city. Rockefeller Center. United Nations.
Grand Central. Polish town (maybe not named like that but there is
high concentration of Polish). Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn.
Surprise: they are building luxury condos on the riverfront. Little
Italy – there was some festival, probably the biggest amount of
food I ever saw outside, mostly unhealthy. The park on the top of
Manhattan Island – almost empty, quiet and really pretty. River,
train track and nothing else to see. Almost nothing across the river
either. 125th street to 72nd street along
Hudson river, pedestrian and bike path: nice, crowded.
There is live
poultry store in Harlem.
First rat in
subway (72nd street).
