… and the holiday madness will be over. Oops, no it won’t. Then comes the after-holiday-sale frenzy. Sigh …

It’s amazing how many streets in New York City yield views of One World Trade Center. This is Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village, just south of Washington Square Park.

The Ride

The Ride, New York City

New York City is known for Broadway, but a new tourist attraction brings theatre to the streets!

Walking down 7th Avenue, just south of Central Park, I managed to catch two musicians serenading the tourists on this spectacular bus. “The Ride” is a theatrical tour of Times Square and midtown Manhattan. Riders on these multi-million dollar buses, in stadium seats that face outwards, have no idea who on the streets are part of the tour. From the website: “THE RIDE is a one-of-a-kind interactive entertainment experience where the streets of New York City are the stage, and you’ve got front row seats!” For a theatre lover like me, this seems like a fantastic way to see New York City landmarks in a whole new way!

Wistful

I was struck by the wistfulness of this young woman and would have been happy simply capturing her.  But then I saw the larger scene – the busyness of the couple to her right, clearly on a schedule –  and loved the contrast. I just had to push the shutter.
