New York Series: Using Negative Mode of the Empire State Building


The power of electricity is more noticeable in negative mode.


Not the exact view, but it gives you an idea of what you are looking at in the above and below photographs.



Imagine just how dark this city would get in a power outage.

New York Series: Chelsea Market



So simple and yet I really like it.





 Just in case there is a sudden bell pepper cooking frenzy.


I think I will.



Chelsea Market was very cute. There are some great stores to buy gifts or to find some sweet treats.











I really liked how Chelsea market was designed with the brick walls and lanterns.




Access to the Highline this way!

New York Series: Times Square at Night

I had to stop by NBC studios and Radio City.








Times Square was just a mass of people. Considering that it was almost 10pm when we got here I was surprised at the volume of people here.


Times Square really does have as many billboards and lights as I had thought, but it still was interesting to see in person.














For M&M's, Hershey's and Reese's lovers everywhere.


I think the only reason I would come to Times Square again is to see a Broadway play. Otherwise, I have now seen it and have no need to see it again...Okay maybe I will come back to buy the cheap I <3 NY t-shirts.

New York Series: Le Grainne Cafe

This was my view from the cafe Le Grainne Cafe. 


There was such a comfortable atmosphere about this cafe. Very inviting and perfect for escaping the rain.


 Along with huge cups of coffee (see the next photo) they make huge crepes and sandwiches! If I have a chance to visit Manhattan again I would definitely try to come here again.


The coffee cups are so big that I couldn't lift this cup without both hands, well I could but then half the coffee would have been in my lap.

I really enjoyed waiting for the rain to stop in this cafe. The coffee cups are huge, as seen above, and the crepes are delicious! The wait staff was friendly and understanding of my photo taking.

New York Series: Street Views

At Rockefeller Center.


Outside The Metropolitan Museum at closing time.


Ornamental gate


Walked up and down Park Avenue....not all the way


What's at the end of this street?


Shall we hail a cab?


Fire escapes.


What a beautiful old building......with a 7-11 on the ground floor?


Is this the street we are looking?


Love the details on this building.


Same with the building next door! I wish the city I live in had such beautiful architecture.


I was tempted to go inside to just see what it looks like, but we didn't have enough time.


To only live in a penthouse in New York.
