Fun with zip ties

2012-01-24T12:38:00.001-05:00

I love New York. Specifically downtown.

Surrogate's Court on Chambers Street

2011-04-05T08:33:00.004-04:00

Can someone tell me what cases are heard in Surrogate's Court? Check out the mohawk on the guy in the third picture.

Justice has a sword

And her sister has a scroll. Behind 60 Centre Street in Manhattan.

What time is it?

2011-03-25T10:15:00.000-04:00

This is a clock at 200 Water Street in Manhattan's Financial District.

The Gehry Building

2011-03-16T08:21:00.003-04:00

NO PHOTOS when you tour the Gehry building (aka 8 Spruce Street) unless they look the other way. This is one view from the leasing office on the 37th floor.

That's City Hall with the pointy top and behind it is Tweed Courthouse, home of the DOE and incubator space for Spruce Street School P.S. 397.

New York County Courthouse Doorknob

2011-03-16T08:15:00.003-04:00

They made me check my camera at the door so, "on principle", I let my phone accidentally take a photo of this cool New York County Courthouse Doorknob.

Get out the chalk, we need an outline

2010-12-01T09:02:00.004-05:00

I am very sad to report that the big tree at the South Street Seaport was taken down by high winds this morning. It snapped at about 1/5 of the the way up. More details and photos here.

Looks like a crime scene, huh?

Here's the street view before the lights went out.

2010-10-08T08:22:00.001-04:00

Happy Friday, everyone, from Fletcher Street in the Financial District.

Caution: Hot Beverage (I think)

2010-10-06T08:20:00.002-04:00

Yes, this sign depicts a driver sitting at a table and having a coffee/tea. Is this the best icon they could come up with for "relief". I assume that FHV stands for For Hire Vehicles.

Fastest Ponies in NYC

2010-09-20T19:32:00.002-04:00

There are several carousels in NYC -- each borough has at least one -- but the fastest (and the one showing the most cleavage) is the Prospect Park Carousel in Brooklyn. And it has its original organ and drum and the same guy has been running it for years. It's definitely worth the $2 (we get a book of five tickets for $9).

Homemade biscuit cake (I think I prefer angel food), fresh strawberries, and hand-whipped cream. Yum.

Wall Street Tonight

2010-09-08T19:35:00.001-04:00

As if the giant American Flag and pink lights weren't garish enough, the NYSE went and sold its facade to Vanguard. Wall Street appears to now be competing with Times Square in the flash department.

2010-09-08T10:22:00.001-04:00

This was on a door and the writing below says, "Sorry, I'll come back clean." Aw.

Graydon Carter, Jr.?

2010-08-19T18:30:00.003-04:00

If Graydon Carter and Hitch had a kid, would he not look just like this little devil? I may go see the new Nanny McPhee movie just to see how much his wardrobe is a match too - right down the signet ring.

Empty (=creepy) N Train

2010-08-19T18:23:00.001-04:00

In the middle of the day this car was empty going over the Manhattan Bridge. Weird.
