Here’s a self-portrait from inside of the restroom at Rosario’s Pizza on the Lower East Side.
Rosario’s makes some of the best pizza in this fine town of ours.
Freedom Tower February 2012
The Freedom Tower is nearly as tall as the old Twin Towers were, and is now merely another Goliath of a building in Manhattan’s skyline.
So much so, that Manhattan’s smog blurs the tower from a distance now. Smog, yummy!
The Bridge Of Decaying Confidence
Ladies and Gents, allow us to introduce you to the underbelly of the Manhattan Bridge, the Brooklyn trestle.
And based off of the several thousand times that we’ve crossed the bridge, we think that it should be renamed, The Bridge of Decaying Confidence, in large part to the way that the bridge jumps when an overweight truck speeds across it.
Lower Manhattan January 2012
New York City is like a Monet painting. It’s looks good from afar, but it’s quite ugly up close.
Bella!
Snowglobe Snowstorm 2012
The snowstorm that hit the New York City area yesterday didn’t seem to hit our neck of Brooklyn too bad. If anything, being out in the snowstorm felt much along the lines of being inside of a snowglobe. Plus, the lack of too many inches made the snow more meaningful in photo form, at least for us, because when the snow gets too deep, everything just looks white, bleh, and unrecognizable.
We’d like to tip our hats in jest at the good job that the M.T.A. did in ensuring that the temporary wooden platform at the 4th Avenue F/G subway lines remained clear of snow and safe for passenger use. Someone managed to sprinkle rock salt in approximately half a dozen small patches towards the end of the snow, leaving everything else slippery as could be. Thankfully the metal temporary staircases at the station were built with handrails.
