Dakota

2009-12-30T00:00:00.000-05:00

Continuing on with my snowy walk through Central Park, this is coming out near 72nd Street and Central Park West. The building on the right through the trees is the Dakota, a historic building and one of the loveliest structures in this area. One of these days I'd love to see what the inside looks like.

Bethesda Terrace

2009-12-29T00:00:00.000-05:00

This is a shot of the staircases at the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park. The terrace overlooks the lake and the Bethesda Fountain and is one of the favorite spots for people to visit in the park. This was taken after our snowstorm of last week when the snow was still fresh and white.

Bloomies

2009-12-28T00:00:00.001-05:00

I guess there are Bloomingdales around the country now, but this is the flagship store at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue, covered in holiday lights. I read that Bloomingdales is about to open their first international store in Dubai next year. Wish I could afford to shop there more often!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-25T00:00:00.000-05:00

Seasons greetings from New York and very best holiday wishes to all. Merry Christmas!

More Windows

2009-12-24T00:00:00.000-05:00

These are some of the windows from the Louis Vuitton store I showed yesterday. Happy Christmas Eve!

Louis Vuitton

2009-12-23T00:00:00.001-05:00

I believe this is the building the houses Louis Vuitton the luxury goods store at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue in Midtown. Here is what I read about it on galinsky.com: "The transformation of the building's exterior from 1930 art deco into contemporary luxury was designed by Jun Aoki, the Japanese architect responsible for Louis Vuitton’s retail appearance in Japan. Aoki describes his glass façade as “a playfully sleek meditation on crystalline transparency and clouded translucency.”

Tiffany's

2009-12-22T00:00:00.001-05:00

This is one of the holiday windows this year at the jewelry company Tiffany & Co. at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. Can you see the lovely baubles? I think they'd make a nice Christmas present!

Central Park Path

2009-12-21T00:00:00.000-05:00

We had almost a foot of snow on Saturday night and Central Park was looking beautiful on Sunday morning. This is a path near West 72nd Street. We didn't get nearly as much snow as some places on the east coast, but it was enough to slow the pace of the city down for a while.

Holiday Stars

2009-12-18T00:00:00.001-05:00

I know I showed these holiday stars from the Time Warner Center last year, but they are nice enough to show twice. They do a pretty show with music and lights there. If you are in the Columbus Circle area, it's worth checking out. Happy Friday!

Glowing Trees

2009-12-17T00:00:00.000-05:00

There were lots of shoppers and passers by in front of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. I wish I could capture how pretty the trees were. They are very pretty in person!

Gingerbread Boys and Girls

2009-12-16T00:00:00.000-05:00

This little chalet was selling delicious smelling hot cider and gingerbread people at the Columbus Circle Christmas market. They have lots of very nice wares for sale at the market this year. A good place for last minute shopping (and snacking!).

E.S.B.

2009-12-15T00:00:00.000-05:00

Since I was on 34th Street by Macy's last weekend I had to take a photo of the Empire State Building with the Christmas tree in the foreground. I still have to get to the top of that building one of these days!

Macy's

2009-12-14T00:00:00.001-05:00

This is the facade of the Macy's department store on 34th Street, which is all decked out for the holidays. Macy's has been in this spot in Herald Square since 1902. It's pretty busy there this time of year with all of the Christmas shoppers!

Window 2

2009-12-11T00:00:00.000-05:00

Another of the Lord & Taylor windows, this one with a fancy dress. Enjoy your weekend and see you on Monday!

Gingerbread

2009-12-10T00:00:00.001-05:00

This is one of the holiday windows at the department store Lord & Taylor on Fifth Avenue and 38th Street. I guess there's a gingerbread house theme going on in the window. It was a pretty one! I liked the little dog in the corner.

Greenflea

2009-12-09T00:00:00.001-05:00

Took a stroll through the Greenflea Fleamarket at I.S. 44 on the upper west side this past weekend. It's a great place to browse, with all kinds of jewelry, furniture, vintage clothing, hats, food, etc. It's there every Sunday year-round. That's the El Dorado apartment building that you can see in the background (the two spired building.)

Columbus Avenue

2009-12-08T00:00:00.000-05:00

These are some of the apartment buildings along Columbus Avenue on the upper west side of Manhattan. It's a great street for window shopping and eating out, though you can't see any of the shops in this photo. I always enjoy strolling along Columbus Avenue.

Trees

2009-12-07T00:00:00.000-05:00

The Christmas tree sellers are back on the streets here in New York. What a wonderful scent the trees have when you pass by. These ones were even festively decorated with bows. It puts me in the holiday spirit!

Rockefeller Center

2009-12-04T00:00:00.000-05:00

No, this isn't this year's tree. I took this photo last year. But I'm sure the one this year is just as nice! Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Building shot

2009-12-03T00:00:00.000-05:00

I wish I knew some facts about this building to tell you. Unfortunately I can't identify it, other than I remember it was in midtown. It's been a while since I've taken any photos, but hopefully I'll be able to get some new ones this weekend.

New York window

2009-12-02T00:00:00.000-05:00

Since I haven't gotten out to photograph any Christmas windows yet, I'll have to show this window I saw a while back. Nothing particularly noteworth, just liked the New York theme.

Gala

2009-12-01T00:00:00.001-05:00

This was opening gala night at the New York City Ballet. No, I wasn't one of those party guests! It was fun to watch them though. There were some great outfits there.

Lincoln Center Fountain

2009-11-30T00:00:00.000-05:00

Part of the redevelopment of the performing arts complex Lincoln Center was the installation of a new fountain, which I took this shot of recently. I read somewhere that the same company that did the fountains at the Bellagio hotel in Vegas did this one too. It's quite pretty in person.

Fifth Avenue

2009-11-27T00:00:00.000-05:00

Wish I had a Macy's thanksgiving parade photo to show you, but since I've only ever seen it on TV, I'll have to wait for another year. This was Fifth Avenue a few days ago. As you can see it was a quiet day. Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009-11-26T00:00:00.000-05:00

Happy thanksgiving to all! Pumpkins are thanksgiving related, right?! Enjoy your holiday, for those celebrating it today.
