| OK, you asked for it -- just some NYC photos to tempt you into a visit. Hope you enjoy the tour. I am busy in my studio finishing up the NYC travel journals and working on mail art -- all of which I'll share in my next post. |
 |
| Little Italy |
 |
| We just don't have guys on the streets in San Francisco giving away free pickle samples -- so cool! And those pickles were really good too. And the guys were a riot. |
 |
| The High Line I suggest a walk on the High Line -- what a terrific idea that is to put a city park on the old subway tracks. I have walked the whole thing now, including the newly opened section. Very fun. |
 |
| MOMA The courtyard of MOMA -- a wonderful place to sit and relax or write some postcards. I've been going to MOMA since I was a teenager and I still love that Picasso goat sculpture. Getting into the museum is crazy -- long, long lines -- a real mess but once you're in it is completely worth it. I saw the Matisse Cut-Outs show -- such an inspiration. And there is a small mail art show in the basement. |
 |
| Murry's Cheese In the Village -- and right nearby is the Cornelia Street Cafe-- which I highly recommend for lunch (we ate outside!) and also a fabulous Italian bakery/cafe with cappuccino and sweets. You won't be sorry. |
 |
| The Ink Pad Need I say any more? |
 |
| A Shrine in DUMBO |
 |
| Love all the street art.... |
 |
| Here is the lunch at Cornelia Street cafe now....yum |
 |
| Yellow cabs are absolutely everywhere! |
 |
| Hummm.....filming a Japanese motorcycle commercial? |
 |
| Little Italy |
 |
| Take the subway all over -- if you are there for any length of time -- I suggest the $30-7 Day Unlimited subway pass. We burn through the tickets like crazy. They don't have transfers like we do here in SF and if you are covering a lot of ground you will be using the subway a lot. |
 |
| See what I mean about yellow cabs? |
 |
| Sometimes it is nice to go to the quieter part of town and look back.... |
 |
| When in doubt, have a cupcake! There seems to be quite a few cupcake bakeries around NYC. If you are going, here are some of my favorite places -- you can just Google them to check them out (I can't do all the work!) The Ink Pad Casey's Rubber Stamps Cornelia Street Cafe Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) The Neue Gallery (have lunch there!) Junior's (for a deli sandwich or a piece of cheesecake) Mee Noodle (if you are closeby a nice stop for lunch) The High Line EATERY Magnolia Bakery The Shake Shack Pigalle Restaurant Zabar's The Public Library and Bryant Park Katz Deli Just a few of the places I like to go. Now I need to go back into my studio and get to work. I seem to have one too many projects going on here but that really isn't such a bad thing. Finishing up the NYC books, catching up on mail art, working on a couple of zines, trying to think of what to make for holiday gifts, working on Turkey mail......the list goes on.....so stay tuned. If you have a fabulous NYC suggestion to share with everyone, please leave a comment. I know I have only scratched the surface of great things to do in NYC. SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
