Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope if you are going to a new year's celebration you are wearing something smart, like these outfits from a window at Saks. All the best wishes for a great 2011!

More windows

And some more windows this week....this one from Saks Fifth Avenue. I just noticed you can slightly see the reflection of the Rockefeller Center tree. Hope you enjoy this week!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas and a very happy holiday to everyone!!

St. Patrick's #2

This is another shot from my earlier visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral in midtown last weekend. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas Eve and a very happy holiday!

Rockefeller Center Tree

I know, I usually show a photo of this every year! But the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree seems like the quintessential New York Christmas view to me. It's a lovely tree this year (like always!)

Bendel's

These are some of the Christmas displays at Henri Bendel's, the accessories store on Fifth Avenue. There are some beautiful Lalique windows in the store. It's a fun place to browse.

Cartier

The Cartier building is decorated very festively for the holidays. Many of the buildings along Fifth Avenue have beautiful lights this time of year.

St. Patrick's

I stopped inside St. Patrick's Cathedral this weekend. The crowds were crazy (as you can imagine the weekend before Christmas)! But it looked beautiful.

Maine monument

This is a portion of the Maine Monument at 59th Street at the entrance to Central Park. I think he looks cold! Enjoy your weekend and stay warm.

Fancy window

I'm resorting to showing some of last year's Christmas photos! This was a window at the jeweler Tiffany. I like some of those pearls and diamonds they were showing!!

Igloo

I'm completely out of photos right now so I have to show you one more I took in Bryant Park recenly. This "igloo" is a pop up shop in Bryant Park for the holidays. I liked how it glowed at night. Hopefully I can get some more pictures soon.

Dolls

This is a display of dolls from holiday windows of past years that have appeared at Lord & Taylor. I love to see the decorated windows this time of year. I'll have to go on a photographic excursion and find some more!

Skating

The skating season is under way in Bryant Park. I can't wait to try it again, one of these warmer days!! Have a great week.

Fire pit

Don't these people look cold, even next to a fire! This was at the Southwestern porch in Bryant Park. It might be nice to sit there a while, but maybe in warmer temperatures.

Filipino Food

I never knew that there was a Filipino section in Queens before. This was some delicious Filipino Food at Krystal's Bakery restaurant in Woodside, Queens. In the front is oxtail stew and there is also pork adobo and some lumpia (like a spring roll.) It was all very tasty!

Trees

It's Christmas tree time again! I love the scent of these trees. It smells like Christmas!!

Santas

Since we are now officially in the Christmas season, here's a shot of some Santas I took at Macy's, a bonanza of Santas. Enjoy your weekend!

Fire escapes

These are some fire escapes seen in an alley in Chinatown. In person they seemed to make an interesting pattern.

Late Fall

A typical late fall day in Central Park....I took this picture the day of the marathon in early November. (I miss spending as much time in the park as I used to!) Hopefully I'll have some more wintry photos soon, now that its December.
