Back to Day 3 - The High Line and 20 minutes in Times Square.

I had lost this film and found it later so it took a bit longer to get it developed than the rest.

We spent our third day in Greenwich Village where there was a street market on and a nice atmosphere. Music seems to be around every corner, free music everywhere!

The High Line was stunning. Ever since I interviewed Piet Oudolf for The Plant magazine, visiting The High Line was on my to-do list.

Our morning walk to the subway started on the lovely Bergen Street in Brooklyn. 
Approaching Flatbush. 
Stopping for a drink at Hector's Cafe. 

Sipping ice tea on the High Line. 

Train tracks on the High Line. 

The floor slabs on the High Line are a reminder of what it used to be. 

Wonderful views of West 18th Street with a mural by Gilbert & George. 

Enjoying my mango popsicle to help bear the warm temperatures. 





The High Line is still under construction. 

People in NY give a lot of importance to their looks. There are so many different styles! This woman suited this red lace dress so well. 

Printed Matter is the world''s largest non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of publications made by artists. Founded as a for-profit alternative arts space in 1976 by artists and artworkers, Printed Matter reincorporated in 1978 to become the independent non-profit organization that it is today.

This store was so great! I treated myself to a bunch of zines. 

We are still wondering how these parking lots work. 

Pizza slices are a constant temptation. 

Greenwich Village and its buzz. 

The basketball players in Greenwich Village are worth watching. 

As per usual, one of my favorite parts of the day involved music. This band called Select Blendz blew me away with their powerful voices. Here's a video of it, I even get pointed at on second 5 of the vid. The girl that passes by on minute 0.35 of the video, that's the average pose for New Yorkers that age, iPhone in hand, ready for action.






What Americans can dress up as for Halloween. 



We ended the day in Times Square. It was horrible and amazing at the same time. We could bear it for about 20 minutes.
