Below are three photographs across the street from the park, showing the spread of Chinatown. This is pretty far north of any current boundaries.

Perhaps someday we'll all be Chinese. Umm, good food.

Playing basketball surrounded by large trees seems kind of idyllic, don't you think?

On the other side of the court is this group of ball players, composed of those who wear long pants. It's hard to take them very seriously.

The park continues for seven blocks, to Canal Street, but here at Stanton, it almost looks like a different park. All business, no idylls.

Okay, it's a dull photo, and you're wondering why I put it up and what you're supposed to see in it. It's strictly because of the Whole Foods Market across the street. I was surprised to see it here and I think my reaction was to kind of grumble to myself about how Whole Foods is everywhere now. I had no idea I was in the presence of the most wonderful Whole Foods in existence. Yelp has 203 reviewers, most of whom write at length about how much they love this particular Whole Foods. The dining area upstairs! The beer room! The spaciousness!
I'm sure stopping in next time I'm here.
