New
York streets mostly have a speed limit of 30 m.p.h., but traffic flows
anywhere from 30 to 150 m.p.h., and even faster in a taxi. |
A
look at NY 9A, the Henry Hudson Parkway, as it follows the Hudson River
closely throughout its stay on Manhattan Island. Across the river is
Jersey. |
A
shot of what I believe is Broadway, near Columbia University. |
Same
road, same sign. |
Here
is the "official" reason I was in New York. |
Columbia's
campus is quite a bit smaller than UM's. |
The
Library, which is kind of cool inside, with old stuff and an ancient Chinese
artifact exhibit. |
More
Columbia. |
Some
wise philosophers grace the presence of this building. |
And
we're back at the Hudson Parkway. There is a narrow park between NY 9A
and Broadway. |
Keep
left to get onto Riverside Drive. |
A
hoity-toity side street. |
Even
hoitier-toitiery. |
Anyone
recognize this from Seinfeld? |
I
guess this is the Seinfeld corner. |
The
always-interesting Subway of New York. I still have one ride left on
my MetroCard, which does not expire until 3/31/06. |
The
first look at Times Square in the daytime. |
I
didn't come all the way here to eat at an Olive Garden, for nugget's sake!
|
More
people than in Chicago, Cleveland, and Miami combined right here! |
Yes,
that giant cup of noodles is steaming. |
The
ABC broadcasting building. |
So
much to see! |
Times
Square even gets its own street signs. |
How
to get to NY 9A from Times Square. |
I
didn't know you could contract Broadway to B'way. |
A
rare instance of a Keep Left sign with the diagram. |
