Let’s Go to Chinatown, Shall We? [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea September 29, 2014

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day for walking in New York. With temperatures in the low 80’s, sunny and dry, I started on 14th St. at Union Square then walked all through the Lower East Side, back up to Chinatown and over the Manhattan Bridge to Dumbo in Brooklyn.

Scenes from Washington Square Park – NYC [PHOTOS]

by Tony Shea September 24, 2014

I had a lot of fun last weekend, walking the city in my never ending quest to play tourist. Washington Square Park is populated by a mixture of both tourists and locals alike, since it’s a regular French teleporter with its Arch. And on a day like last Saturday, which is to say a day […]

Jay Hood was in town this weekend to help me with my ongoing exploration of the city. We decided to scale the Mount Everest, so to speak, of  local tourist attractions, the mighty Empire State Building, aka King Kong’s personal gym. Once the tallest building in the world from 1931 to 1970, the Empire State Building […]

The weather has been wonderful lately in jolly ole’ New York, perfect for continuing my exploration of the city’s innumerable landmarks. I am nothing if not a tourist at heart. A couple of weeks ago I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. This week, I’m off to the Bronx Zoo. At 265 acres, and with more than 4,000 […]

Jeff Koons at the Whitney (NSFW)

by Tony Shea July 15, 2014

As anybody will tell you, one of the great joys of New York City is simply walking in any direction and seeing what happens next. I think of a forty block walk as almost mandatory, and my top mark so far is somewhere around a hundred, twenty blocks representing approximately a mile so you can […]

Since I’m new to New York, I’m going to do every single touristy thing I can think of, no matter what my rough and tough native New Yorker friends say. A week or so back I had the opportunity, yes that’s right you hardened locals, the opportunity, to stroll across one of the most iconic […]
