Coal Yard, Coolest Bar in Town!

Me and Dan pretending we are old school, heroin-addicted, authentic 1970's punks at the Coal Yard. What a cool mural, though. New York definitely has San Francisco beat as far as grafitti and murals go, with all the Chico stuff and actual cool, colorful grafitti and the Williamsburg Bridge and everything. All San Francisco's murals are like Cesar Chavez with ying yangs around him. (No offense to Cesar Chavez!)

Neither More Nor Less

Here are some photos taken by street photographer Bob Arihood of Neither More Nor Less, who died recently. Hid blog detailed the comings and goings of the street people of Tompkins Square Park and the surrounding area, as well as reporting on their stories.

Why do I have this blog? I already have like nine other blogs. But since I am constantly thinking about New York as a place, and constantly taking photos here, I need a place to archive my photos and also complain kind of like they are always complaining on all the NYC blogs I read. I assume the people who read my fashion blog don't care about my wistful views on the city, and we all know what it's like to get into a blog and then have the bloggers interests shift to something you find boring, like sports or children. And the world needs another blog.

My muse Dan in front of Moishe's bake shop, which of course is great. It could almost be the 70's in this photo.
