Blog: Big Apple Strolling Guide

 (Snapshot of WalkingOffTheBigApple.com) On the site ”Walking Off The Big Apple,” blogger Teri Tynes has created a rather interesting strolling guide through NYC. Her walks tend to be literature, music, arts, and cinema focused with lots of ruminations on her subject matter. What’s great about her guide is that many of the walks will appeal to lifelong New Yorkers as well as tourists. I highly recommend [...]

See The Light

(South Street – Photos by Joe) The five of us all gazed at a blue neon glow that was brightest by the Fish Market Restaurant on South Street. I shuffled my feet, blinked, squinted, and pretended to look real hard. Don’t know if the shuffling of the feet worked, but I did my best not to [...]

Peking, Wavertree and Helen McAllister at Pier 17

Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks on Hudson River

South St between Beekman St and Peck Slip

River to River Festival

(Snapshot of www.RiverToRiverNYC.com/Events) If you’re looking for some good cheap fun in NYC, then you must visit RiverToRiverNYC.com/Events.

Milk Toast

(Wavertree sailing ship/South Street Seaport, NYC - Photos by Joe) At the South Street Seaport to meet my friends, I was aware a tall white guy had tailed me since I came out of the Fulton Street subway station that was a four block walk. To be certain, I moved away from the sparse, early evening crowd [...]

Upper NY Bay & Narrows from Staten Island

(Photos by Joe) These photos were from the end of Hylan Boulevard past Bay Street by the Alice Austen House.   Here are my STORIES and PHOTOS

Coney Island Mermaid Parade

(Mermaid Parade – 6-19-10) I’ve never been to this parade, but it looks like a lot of fun. I probably should go to this type of stuff and post my own photos and videos.  (Mermaid Photos – uncredited) Related posts: Episode Six – May 2009 (Coney Magic) Ghost Breath of Coney Island Photos: Various Coney [...]
