New York City and the Arts

Bubble Tea in NYC!!!

After spending some time in Madison Square Park talking about life and watching the busy people (and countless nannies, yikes!) go by, my friend and I made our way down to Tease on 3rd Ave. between 27th St. and 28th St., and we bought these delightfully colorful (and might I add, tantalizingly tasty) strawberry and mango green bubble teas. They reminded me of the diversity and variety of New York – the people, the culture, the food…the list goes on! Every waking moment in the city is an opportunity to feel refreshed and invigorated – and you don’t even have to be diving into an ice-cold drink! That being said, we totally did. And it was delicious. Gotta love New York. 😉

This picture shows a New York City home, with the person adding a sense of reality to the photo. I just hope this isn’t illegal. This shows how limited front lawns are in the suburbia.

I’m not sure how to describe it other than it looks slightly weird, but interesting. The shapes are unique. This reminds me of the photo Professor Jablonka showed us with a arch that seems to go on past what the eye can see.

The trees bend in the direction of the pedestrian.

These pictures span Morris Park, Williamsbridge and Pelham Parkway.

Who's a good puppeh?!
