RPM Broome and Allen in the very early morning

Subtle colors of light on the Noodle Rest, Flushing, NY

The Sugarcube at South Street Seaport. This inflatable popped up over the winter as a music venue and the program finished in January, so I was surprised to see it this week. It turns out that it can be hired for private functions. It’s located in the entrance of South Street Seaport where guess what – apparently you can’t use a tripod even when the place is completely empty at 6am! The ‘security guard’ suggested helpfully that it would be okay for me to handhold instead…

Not long ago I was wondering about the  fate of this building, on 99th Street, that has been empty for a while. I am  pleased to report that renovation has begun. The building will eventually provide affordable housing for seniors.

I was walking by as the sun rose this morning, so took the opportunity to photograph the building again. You can see the scaffolding that has started to go up and some lights on inside.

The snowplows, attached to loaders and sanitation trucks, are lined up along First Avenue. Hopefully they won’t be needed now until next year and are ready to be put away.

Despite the snow and below freezing temperatures there are still a few bikes parked at the base of the majestic Manhattan Municipal Building.

Looking downtown many years ago.
