Clouds

I'm afraid I can't tell you anything about this building, other than I think it is a hotel in Soho. I just liked the cloud pattern in this photo. I bet the hotel guests have a great view from up there. I hope you had a great weekend and a great week ahead!

Lanterns

This is a photo I took recenly on a street in Chinatown. I think that's 1 Centre Street, the Manhattan Municipal Building, in the background. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Police Building

Another building I passed the other day during my stroll down Grand Street, was the former Police headquarters building, which was left by the police in 1973 and turned into condominiums in 1987. You can read more about it here. There are 55 luxury apartments inside these days. Wouldn't it be fun to see inside one of them!?

Grand Street

Some random grafitti for today, or maybe that's not what you call this picture. I have no idea of the artist. I believe it was on grand street. I wonder how they got up there.

Bridge

For some reason the George Washington Bridge was all lit up yesterday (maybe it was for President's Day). Anyway, I've never seen it lit like that before. It was very beautiful, but unfortunately I can't take very good photos at night.

Roses

Even though it is supposed to snow here today, things are still blooming. This is part of an installation by the artist Will Ryman called "The Roses" and the flowers can be found on 10 blocks on Park Avenue. You can read more about it in this New York Times article about the installation. Have a good week.

Mastiff

One last dog from the Westminster Dog Show this week. I think this one is a mastiff. He was so cute! Enjoy your weekend!!

Westminster

I was lucky to go to the final night of the 135th Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden this week. It was such fun to go "backstage" and see some of the dogs before the show. Isn't this one a beauty!! He wasn't very interested in looking at the camera.

Dumpling making

This is a dumpling making contest they were having in Flushing, Queens. I think those may be local elected officials participating. I'm not sure who the winner was. The was at the Flushing Mall and I think was part of the last day of celebrations of the lunar new year (year of the Rabbit).

Shaved ice!

Yes, it tasted better than it looks! This was Taiwanese shaved ice that I had in Flushing, Queens last weekend. I never knew there was such a thing before. They put the ice in first and you can choose your flavors for on top.
