New York - what a great city!

The obligatory shopping walk this morning, still looking for my Josef Seibel boots without any success.  We got the subway uptown, some buskers boarded and sang some beautiful harmony but unfortunately some students took videos but wouldn't pay a tip so the buskers got off at the next station. Shame as they were so good. We wandered through Broadway and SOHO uptown and ventured up to Central Park which was gorgeous.  Unfortunately as we walked by the lake, the weather turned nasty and we had to hot-foot it to a subway for some warmth and shelter. 

Just before the unseasonal weather came in.

(Louise has unfortunately caught a cold from this but with lots of TLC and rest, she'll come through OK.)

We walked Madison and 5th Ave and saw the Dakota Building and Strawberry Fields.  It was quite moving and I had a feeling that Yoko was looking down at us from her apartment up high above the leafless trees overlooking "Imagine".

"Imagine" in Strawberry Fields.

Looking toward the city from opposite the lake.

We found our way back to Mulberry Street - and although the subways are a bit of a challenge for Louise and myself, with the help of some landmarks, like the parking lot, we're doing pretty well.

Multi level parking lot!

This is a very small plot nearby our loft apartment - drive in, your car gets hauled up one, two or three floors, and lowered when you're ready to pick it up.  A great storage system - no doubt invented by "Howard Storage"!
