The South Street Seaport is a historic area in the New York City borough of Manhattan, located where Fulton Street meets the East River, and adjacent to the Financial District. The Seaport is usually considered a historical district, distinct from the neighboring Financial District. It features some of the oldest architecture in downtown Manhattan, and includes the largest concentration of restored early 19th-century commercial buildings in the city. This includes renovated original mercantile buildings, renovated sailing ships, the former Fulton Fish Market, and modern tourist malls featuring food, shopping and nightlife, with a view of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Thanks for Viewing, Happy Thanksgiving.

* Essaouira a metà degli anni Sessanta fu il luogo dove si riunirono numerose comunità Hippy che ospitarono tra l'altro artisti come Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Bob Marley, Sting. Ad attirare Jimi Hendrix a Essaouira fu il gnaoua, la musica introdotta in Marocco dagli schiavi neri. Insieme ai maalem, i maestri della confraternita gnaoua condivise e si fece inebriare dai ritmi del guenbri (un liuto-tamburo a tre corde), delle nacchere in ferro e dei tamburi.
* Essaouira è anche nota per il suo Festival di musica gnaoua, che ha luogo ogni anno nel mese di giugno [1].
* Orson Welles ha girato ad Essaouira molte riprese del suo film Otello (1952).
* Sidi Ambak Bubi, che insegnò agli inizi dell'800 l'arabo al noto esploratore scozzese Mungo Park, scandalizzando per i suoi insoliti comportamenti e gli abiti i suoi concittadini, era originario di Mogador.
Essaouira presents itself as a city full of culture: several small art galleries are found all over the town. Since 1998, the Gnaoua Festival of World Music is held in Essaouira, normally in the last week of June. It brings together artists from all over the world. Although focussed on gnaoua music, it includes rock, jazz and reggae. Dubbed as the "Moroccan Woodstock" it lasts four days and attracts annually around 450,000 spectators[3].
In the early 1950s film director and actor Orson Welles stayed at the Hotel des Iles just south of the town walls during the filming of his 1952 classic version of "Othello" which contains several memorable scenes shot in the labyrinthine streets and alleyways of the medina. Legend has it that during Welles's sojourn in the town he met Winston Churchill, another guest at the Hotel des Iles. Orson Welles's bust is located in a small square just outside the medina walls close to the sea. It is in a neglected state being covered in bird poop, graffiti and with a broken nose. In addition, the dedication plaque below it has been stolen (as of Dec 2008). Several other film directors have utilised Essaouira's photogenic and atmospheric qualities.
Despite common misconception,[4] Jimi Hendrix's song "Castles Made of Sand" was written two years before he visited the castles of Essaouira.

I have rescanned some of my Tribeca/downtown negatives to replace the poorly scanned shots I had in my "Old New York" album from a few years ago.
Have some more to do and will delete the old ones and add as I go.
I stayed here on the first night of my holiday. Talk about being spoilt :-)
