42nd Street Adventure: Take 1






As much as I despise taking pictures while I'm walking, I couldnt resist taking some on a beautiful Sunday afternoon corresponding to the 1st day of the new mnoth...(August) during my trip to Dream Hotel in Downtown Manhattan. When I got off at 50th street subway station, I ran into an elderly man, hunched over by age. I'll probably give him 89 or 90 years of age and of Polish descent. He had a gray hair, playn music out of a piano and lil electric lights flashing in front of plastic dolls...it was a bit weird at first. But at a closer look, I saw he was wearing a smile. My friend put in a dollar into his donation box and we walked onto the street.

Up next, we saw other beautiful sights and sounds of NYC...there was the famous Ed Sullivan Theatre where David Letterman has his Late Show. I felt tourisy taking this pic but I couldnt resist. Sometime last year, the famous Sir Paul McCartney had a mini concert on top of the Late Show sign.

Then I came across this really beautiful architecture in between two buildings. I dont know if i should call it a glass house but it was a sight to behold. I even took a picture! Gosh, I need a camera LOL

As I walked down the block, I saw my fave person's office! Sean John building! This man is amazing and when you think of New York, Sean Combs is in the conversation

And lastly, as we were about to get on the Shuttle Train or S train to head down to 42nd and Grand Central, we spotted two Black men working out on the street corner. I thought that was the weirdest thing and even more funny was that they had a crowd that was watching on and taking pictures. Yes, their body looked good but their faces needed some work or a smile or something. Regardless, doing their body building routine on the street corner might actually give them a job as a doorman in one of NYC's affluent clubs or as a personal body guard...who knows! Enjoy the pics (sorry my camera is not so good...they looked better in person LOL)

I always enjoy these little trips in some parts of NYC...There were little shops and vendors for more than 2 blocks. They were selling the fedora hats, handmade jewelries, Greek food, roasted corn (yummy), and so much more! Living in NY is just a beautiful thing!



Love,
Jennifer
