Bowery Mutant

The Great Subway Swamp-Ass Stamp Out

This would probably be much more appropriate in the dead-middle of July, but you never know when the malady might strike.  Like anything, the Goldilocks principle applies; not too dry, not too wet, but just right.  Fresh graffiti in the Bowery Station on the Nassau line in Manhattan.

Bowery and the Background

Taken from Canal Street, where is diverts to the Manhattan Bridge in Chinatown…

The Dogs of Winter

Cry snow buried trash...Cry blackish-brown slush...Cry opportunistic rodents...And let slip the dogs of winter.

Taken near Rivington and Bowery in Manhattan.

The thin and lame Shakespeare-ian allusion I just dropped is much funnier with beer, and lots of it, which by the way, is available at the small white shop front and center.  To gain access to your foamy, alcoholic comedic appreciation aid, just navigate around the minivan sized, mound of black snow…

Taken on Greenpoint Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Chair Up, Tables and Stools Loaded

A cool furniture store in the Bowery, Manhattan.  This area has quite a small business niche for shops like this, whether it be commercial lighting or restaurant supplies, you can find it here.

Roxanne, Red, and Raw

Does Roxanne go wandering about the Bowery? Is this the proverbial red light to be put out? Or maybe I'm just shamelessly trying to interject 1970's pop culture into this post? Well anyway, here's a grainy, gritty, and retro shot featuring a red neon sign. Taken in the Bowery, Manhattan.

Bleary Eyed in the Bowery

...And my camera wasen't the only one. Taken at the corner of Delancy and Bowery in the Bowery section of the Lower East Side, Manhattan.
