The building is a contributing property to the Central Park West Historic District, is listed on National Register of Historic Places, and is a New Yrk City designated Landmark.

 

Museum People II

I love photographing people in a museum more than the actual exhibits. These people were clearly more interesting than the art they were looking at.

On a recent trip into NYC to meet up with fellow Monochromia contributor Laurie and her husband Greg who were up from Virginia this past weekend my wife and I had a chance to stop at the bar in the new Moynihan Train Hall. This friendly chap was our bartender. I wish I would have got his name but I remember he mentioned he was from Dublin. He may not look like he’s over 15 years old but he sure knew how to properly pour a Guinness. Image was taken with an iPhone 12 Pro Max in portrait mode.
