The Allen Pavilion is part of New York Presbyterian Hospital, but much handier. To me, anyway.  It was built in 1988 before I moved here.  I wonder if they bought the land from Columbia University.

Right after I took this shot, a guard came out and told me I couldn't photograph the hospital. Okay, I said, but why? Because it's private, he said, it's not city. But why? I asked, why do they care? I don't know, he said, but they care, so I care. Okay, then. So I photographed it from across the street.

Don't you remember about terrorists and soft targets? Apparently the guard didn't either. Anyway it's way too far uptown for any real action.
