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.

SoHo, West Broadway Between Prince and Houston Streets

Let me apologize on behalf of Verizon, my incompetent DSL provider. I have been out of service since Thursday night because there was a big problem and they were reconnecting people one at a time. Obviously, I wasn't high on their list. That's Verizon. V-E-R-I-Z-O-N.

I'm going to have to catch up again, leave out some shots, but I did want to show you this one before we leave SoHo.

This is the sight that caused us to haul our cameras out. Not just the sculpture based on the famous 1932 photo, but the crazy pink wall they're facing. For more information about the sculpture and sculptor go here.

You say you want to see the front? Okay, here's a partial view.

SoHo, West Broadway at Prince Street

A week ago Saturday, May 26, FL and I went to Pearl Paint on Canal Street and then we walked up through SoHo and had dinner at the Cupping Room Café which was lovely and uncrowded because this was Memorial Day weekend and half the city was somewhere else, bless their travelin' hearts. And then we strolled up West Broadway, thinking about an iced cappuccino. It was a summery evening, my favorite kind of evening, with the delicious feeling of breezes on my skin and feeling warm and cool at the same time.

We had our cameras with us because I'd asked her to photograph me reading in the subway, but we weren't shooting in the streets, just strolling. We got to the block between Prince and Houston, looked at each other and took our cameras out. You'll see why tomorrow night. Tonight this is one of the shots I took first to establish where we were. Not that this one does. You have to be able to read the street signs.
