Had a little time yesterday on my way to a haircut, so I decided to get off the subway (we say train) one station early to walk down Park Av.
To get to the train, I had to take the bus, where 3 (look carefully) people sheltering from the rain made sure they were up to date on important things.
It wasn't raining heavily, but it was dismal. The Starbucks window stood out from the gloom. Then I had to take a couple of selfies with the help of the statuary. On the way home I observed a couple of construction workers observing the scenery.
Finally, that's York Avenue looking south before the traffic gets heavy, although on a Saturday, it rarely is. Finally these corner markets are always busy, some of which stay open all night.

Good shots - thanks for sharing. Brings back some good memories of when I was there in 2004 on business - stayed 3 months and enjoyed the city immensely.
Great street photography!

NYC that many people never see, David. BTW that is colorful footwear you were sporting.

That is a much more attractive NYC than is in my memory. Of course I was there in the sun when things were clearer. I'm sure that each city has some redeeming features.
Walking is the way to go. Trains, not so much.
