Greenwich Village, Sullivan Street Between Houston and Bleecker Streets

Once again I'm posting from a two year old walk. I did go out tonight. FL and I went to see the sights, the tree at Rockefeller Center and the surrounding festivity, and if the weather had been reasonable, I would've taken my camera and had something to show you. But it was really cold. Too cold to be loitering and trying to get just the right shot, too cold to do anything but focus on Morrell Wine Bar & Café where we had a reservation.

I must say this was a great thing to do and my first time doing it. All of you blasé New Yorkers, go see the tree at Rockefeller Center in the evening the weekend before Christmas. Get crushed by tourists. It's an event. And beautiful. The crowds are enormous. Worse than Chinatown. Doesn't take long. And then if you can escape to a nearby really good restaurant, you've had yourself an evening.

Afterwards, we stopped at An American Craftsman and bought each other earrings.

New Yorkers will back me up when I say that today was no day to be out photographing. Wet thick snow, slushy streets. Cold and mostly unpleasant. And so we have Sullivan Street, December 2006.

We are still on Sullivan Street, December 2006. I'm going to try to do a photowalk tomorrow. If not tomorrow, Saturday. Or Sunday. And so on. But in the meantime, Sullivan Street is not a bad place to be.

It's good to know that if I become disabled and can't walk, I can keep this blog going for quite a while just using old never seen photographs. One less thing to worry about.

This is V Bar and Café as of two years ago. It seems to be a coffee shop by day, wine bar at night, and is well thought of according to comments on the web.

Here's another shot from two years ago. My computer is finally in good shape, so if I can get out on a walk tomorrow, then tomorrow night we will be current. If not, there's a lot more where these came from. And I will admit that I'm kind of glad to have an excuse for showing these.

I'm deliberatedly leaving this oversized in the enlargement. The details are nice.

SoHo, Sullivan Street Between Prince and Houston Streets

Crossing Sixth Avenue, Charlton becomes Prince Street and we are in SoHo. Time to stop for a meal. It was around 1:30 but I hadn't had time for breakfast, so when I saw Once Upon A Tart, it appealed. Pie for breakfast is always good.

This is looking south, back toward Prince Street.

My first time here, though I've known of it for a while. This was good, the pumpkin filling a little softer, more custardy than typical. Not that there's anything wrong with typical. Pumpkin pie is hard to mess up. I wish I had some right now.

And now a seasonal touch, looking out the window.

When I left, I discovered the photowalk was over because I had no more room on my flash card. Consequently, you will miss seeing a photograph of Optique de Paris where I bought the most expensive glasses of my life. I hope I like them.

We were here in December 2006. Since then, the Shade has ungone a bit of freshening.

Classic Village shot: young lovers walking down the street past the Shade Bar. Not that I've ever heard of the Shade Bar.
