A nice little piece of Americana at Metropolitan and Eliot in Ridgewood.

Laid Off Bloomingdales Santa

I’ve seem it a million times; quite inevitable really.  When times get tough, 86 the secular holiday icon.

Your Local Neighborhood Shipping Container Movers

Taken in Redhook, Brooklyn.

Bowery Mutant

Formerly the Tunnel to Nowhere

Until the F/63rd Street line was connected to the main Queens Blvd line in the early 2000s, F trains terminated here.  Since it was the only stop into Queens from Manhattan, the project was known as the tunnel to nowhere.

The Hangout

There are so many places to hangout in NYC.  This is my type of place; upon first glance, under the Gowanus expressway in Red Hook may not look like a pleasant place, but bear with me as I lay it out for you.  There are no drunk yuppies, no snarky hipsters, no tourists, no panhandlers, its free, and everyone minds their own business here.  Oh, and this my hangout, go get your own! ;)

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.

Down In Chinatown

Beneath the Manhattan Bridge in the heart of Chinatown in Lower Manhattan…

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.

Creeping In

Taken in an alleyway close to the intersection of 24th and College...

Eerie Alabama

On Alabama Street, just north of 13th Street...

The shakedown!

Well OK, I don't know what's transpiring here...But 'shakedown' sounds cool. On Delaware Street, by the city market.
