Feeding Time

Feeding Time

This woman lovingly fed the birds, but loudly refused money offered to her by a passerby. I wanted to know her story, but she didn't seem too approachable.

Phew!

Phew!

Thank goodness, Fay-Da on Mott has re-opened. I haven't built up the courage to buy anything there yet -- let alone ask why exactly they were closed in the first place, which is what I really wanna know -- but I will soon. Buy something, that is.

Make That Change?

Make That Change

I started with the man in the mirror, asking him to change his ways. I felt no message could have been any clearer.

"If you want to make the world a better place," I said. "Take a look at yourself -- and make that change."

"Leave me alone or I'll smash that cameraphone of yours," he repiled.

Apocalypse, Next!

Apocalypse, Next!

Whenever my out-of-town town friends mock my tolerance for the daily inconveniences and humiliations of NYC life, I can usually chalk it up to their obvious jealousy and feelings of inferiority of living in a lesser city.

But after spending ten minutes in the rain to enter, twenty minutes to check-out, and $130 on barely a week’s worth of food at a store that's only just now come to New York, all I can say is: hey, at least we have a 24 hour subway.
