10 random photos from our NYC trip, March 2010
posted May 18th, 2010 by Everywhereist- Tom’s Restaurant (facade for Seinfeld restaurant sequences), Morningside Heights, NYC
-
Also immortalized in a Susan Vega song that I have always hated and now have stuck in my head. Crap.
-
-——————————— - Hanging out with Rand’s grandparents, Bryant Park.
-
We all need not look at the camera for it to be an awesome photo.
-
-———————————
- Inscription on statue of Samuel J. Tilden (the Al Gore of his day), Riverside Park, NYC
-
And he won the popular vote, too.
-
-——————————— - Receiving a hug from Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Major Bruce “Snake” Crandall, Hilton Hotel, Midtown.
-
He told me Greg Kinnear played him in "We Were Soldiers." I asked if the likeness was a good one, and he replied, "I was better looking."
-
-——————————— - Editorialized checking balance inquiry, Upper East Side ATM
-
WTF, indeed. Whoever this person is, they need a money market account.
-
-——————————— - Sign outside a restaurant in Chelsea.
-
-
Only singling out dogs make this an invitation to everyone else.
-
-———————————
- View from rooftop deck, Chelsea.
-
The wind was so strong, the balcony shook.
-
-——————————— - So that’s where he works! Midtown, NYC.
-
And all this time, I thought he was in the Meatpacking District.
-
-———————————
- “Get Right With God” sign, Midtown.
-
Now I'm just getting mixed messages.
-
-———————————
- -He asked me what I wanted to do. I told him, “I want to walk through Times Square with you.” And we did.
-
And that's all it takes to make me happy.

I’m going to interrupt this syrup-fest (aw, you kids is adorable) to say that I can only read that sign as “Get Right Gwith God.”

I love Tom’s! It’s in the Barnard/Columbia neighborhood, where I spent my undergrad years. My favorite item there is the “Broadway Shake”, which is a chocolate-coffee milkshake. Not always on the menu, but they’ll always make it if you ask for it.

Hey Rand — the last picture — you bear a slight resemblance to Pee Wee Herman:)

I read the sign straight down which ended up being “Get G With God” which made me think it was a new-age gangster hideout. Took me a while to get back on track with my day after that.
On a side-note, I’ve never seen Seymour not smile in a photo. This is a first. I must assume there is some seriously distracting scene going on to the left.

I love these! On your next trip, how about taking in the beautiful Heather Garden in Ft. Tryon Park (and maybe even the Cloisters) in Washington Heights? You won’t believe the view across the Hudson!
