Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, gobble gobble. .

Hurricane Sandy 1 Year Ago

This was a local supermarket days before Hurricane/Super Storm Sandy hit NYC. Despite localized damage most of NYC was left unaffected. That is why my high-above sea level neighborhood was safe yet people were hoarding food like it was Noah's flood.

Water almost all gone yet the city's water supply was perfectly fine.

Chips were all gone since that is an emergency supply.

Apparently even caramel popcorn is not good enough for emergencies.

Meat and cheese gone maybe they will let me lick the grill.

AMNH is Still Open

No furloughs at the American Museum of Natural History and I made sure.

I dare you to walk the trail.

What a view, haha.

Pilgrims: "First we get the food then we kill them."

Natives: "Will give them some food and then they'll leave us alone..."

In Memorium

Tickle fight!

Bison have horns while Pronghorns do not, they have pronghorns completely different.

Last Rainy Governors Island Trip

The Governors Island season ends September 29, 2013 but I am still sorting through pictures of last years trips. Here are a few interesting sties that may no longer be there.

Staten Island Ferry in the rain.

Cold and wet made the lines super short.

It was almost done back then so today the view must be awesome.

Bee and wasp catcher.

Learn some history y'all.

Glitter Kitty?

Yom Kippur reminder.

Party City: Candy

Yes I have a sweet tooth and if you ever walked into a Party City you will get one too. I know everyone is complaining about the early Halloween decorations but that is the best holiday of the year so why not get a head start.

Super Mario in  red and blue.

That is adorable the candy inside is just a bonus.

Mushrooms!

Lunch boxes that I can fill with candy.

Cups are kind of expensive but so cute.

I'll take one of each to start.

And there is more!

Real or not I would still lick them.

All walls should have one of these.

So much to look at I can't wait until Halloween gets closer.

New York Public Library

The Big Library at Bryant Park in case you wanted me to be exact. This is a great place to look at but finding books was nearly impossible.

Nice stairs.

Everything is so grand.

Lots of exhibitions in the hallways.

Taking pictures how tacky.

Not one book.

Okay I see books but no one is using them.

Finally somebody reading something made of paper.

Like a freaking cathedral.

Lunch Hour NYC

The New York Public Library had an exhibition featuring 150 years of NYC lunch hours. Of course there were hot dogs and coffee but no free samples.

Love the classic 1950s style decor.

Rolling pins, i never use them but I want one.

Finally my dinnerware is here.

the cleanest hot dog cart you will ever see in NYC.

The Automat where you can get servings of food 24 hours a day, I think there is stil one somewhere in NYC.

For a nickel I would eat street food trapped behind glass.

145 years later and it is still true.

Campaign for Wool at Bryant Park

A while back the Campaign for Wool came to Bryant Park to showoff how cool wool can be. They had beds, mannequins with wool clothing, art pieces, fake sheep, and even real sheep.

Sheep are never as nice and white like this one.

First attempt at a panorama picture with my iPhone.

Real sheep some were already sheared and other were not but none were pure white.

Purple sheep very cool.

The Wool Fountain where wool replaced the water.

Why so blue?

Green sheep must be a Eco-friendly sheep.

This guard would have sweating like crazy with all that wool. Luckily he is fake.

This is not the first time farm animals were used in an exhibition but it still is wierd to see sheep in the middle of the New York City. .
