I see this quite often along my walks to/from my office, though mostly with cinched filled baggies. The fine for public urination must be more than littering, though with the baggies and this bottle, it should be a double penalty
--
In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.

Today was my first time tasting bubble tea (Passion fruit and green tea) and those tapioca pearls on the bottom of the glass reminded me of the frog eggs from The Mandalorian, which the Baby Yoda couldn't get enough of.

Brazilian Graffiti Artist Eduardo Kobra was offered an inviting wall 11 meters high by 17 wide, located just above the wall of the workshop and strategically positioned on the horizon of those who passed the High Line, the disabled railway branch that became a suspended park and one of the most popular points of Manhattan.
For this great panel, keeping his time machine in Times Square in 1945, Kobra recovered the best-known image of the celebration of the United States' victory over Japan in World War II, the sweeping kiss of sailor George Mendonsa and nurse Greta Friedman, and added a burst of color to Alfred Eisenstaedt's iconic photograph.
Instantly, the capital of the world gained a new tourist attraction: visitors started to flock to the High Line to click the Kiss, it was also pointed out as one of the 10 most photographed spots in selfies in New York.

Beautiful afternoon. Today I had an appointment in Kips Bay (on the eastside of Manhattan, NYC) though I still opted to ride the #7 train to its last stop in Manhattan, which is Hudson Yards, on the complete other side of Manhattan island from my appointment. There I walked 10 blocks south along the High Line, followed by 9 long avenues across town to 1st Avenue. Such a great walk. And it was so nice out, like an early Spring day.

The building went up around 1890 and was the Long Island City Hall before its conversion to a restaurant around 1910. The original proprietors were Martin Heilbut and Herman Kleefeld, whose interlocking H and K initials are preserved in stained glass above the bar. The tavern was known as Kleefeld Hall, Kleefeld’s saloon, Kleefeld’s Hotel and Hielbut and Kleefeld, but in the 1920s it became the Court Square Restaurant. When it was purchased in the 1970s by Bill “Brooks” Gounaris, he named it for himself.

New Rendering Revealed For 29-15 40th Road in Long Island City, Queens
newyorkyimby.com/2024/04/new-rendering-revealed-for-29-15...
A new rendering has been revealed for 29-15 40th Road, an upcoming 12-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens. Few details have been made public about the project, which is being designed by Fogarty Finger Architects and developed by SB Development, which also acquired the adjacent lot at 29-13 40th Road for $8.7 million last fall.
The Long Island City Clock Tower building had been constructed in 1927 by the Manhattan Company, a holding company that in 1955 merged with the Chase National Bank to create the Chase Manhattan Bank. For more than 60-years, the clock tower building had been the tallest commercial building in Queens, Until it was surpassed in 1990 by other structures, the building with the clock towered over the Queensborough Bridge and the elevated Flushing and Astoria subway lines running next to it.
In 2014, the Long Island City Clock Tower was purchased by developers, using land and air rights from the clock tower, as well as air rights from an adjacent lot owned by and purchased from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a 77-story residential tower, Sven, was constructed by the Durst Organization.
Working with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the Durst Organization hired a team of architects to restore the dilapidated glass and cast iron clock faces of this neo-Gothic tower. Those leading the project sought to swap the damaged frosted glass panels with a type of acrylic and replace the cast iron dials with aluminum—durable materials that can endure years in the elements.
The brown-brick landmark, with its castellated clocktower turret, will eventually be repurposed into a commercial and retail space.

Everything
~ by Srikanth Reddy
She was watching the solar eclipse
through a piece of broken bottle
when he left home.
He found a blue kite in the forest
on the day she lay down
with a sailor. When his name changed,
she stitched a cloud to a quilt
made of rags. They did not meet,
so they never could be parted.
So she finished her prayer,
& he folded his map of the sea.
