ABC Wednesday—C is for "corner"

And also Carlton (Hotel, at the corner of Madison Ave.
and 29th Street).  I lived in this beautiful old
building for a month back in the '70s during a protracted
transit strike.  At the time it was a real fleabag and
a few of my fellow guests worked, um, by the hour, let's say.
But it was definitely affordable.
It's much nicer now, and a room the size of the one I
had costs more than I paid for the whole month.

ABC Wednesday—Z is for "zebra"

. . . and a cab zipping by.  Saw this somewhere on
Madison Avenue, in what's not exactly a
funky neighborhood.  Someone has a quirky
sense of urban design style, I'd say.

Weekend Reflections

I was walking across 50th Street the other day
and saw St. Patrick's reflected in the
windows of a nearby office building.  This is
something I never would have noticed
before I discovered James's wonderful meme.
Thanks, James!

Walk in the Street

Madison Avenue, between &70th & 71st.
These boys were with their dad, waiting
on line at the opening of the Ladurée
store in NYC.  If they'd known what a
treat they were in for (macarons!), they
 probably wouldn't have been able to
concentrate so hard on that game.

Walk in the Street meme. See more here:

Mellow Yellow Monday

Yeah, they're kinda gorgeous—and I have at
least one friend who can dance all night in hers.
But, seriously,  I doubt I could walk a city
block in these red-soled beauties. How about you?

Here's the whole window of Christian's
fab boutique on Madison Ave.  One of
these days (when I'm dressed like I could
ever afford them),  I'm gonna go in and
try on a pair or two.  I'll report back.
