Wearing special glasses this lady can tell if that peach is ripe:)
Fruit shopping in Lower Manhattan, New York.
Scenes from New York City ~ a view from lower Manhattan showing the Empire State Building in Mid Manhattan.
Formally known as 10 Hudson Yards, the new tower that punctuates the northern end of the High Line is the headquarters of Coach, Inc., anchor tenant of the brand new Hudson Yards complex, New York’s most active construction site. Described by former mayor Michael Bloomberg as Manhattan’s “last frontier,” Hudson Yards is often compared with Rockefeller Center, but the completed neighborhood will be twice as large as its midtown neighbor. Indeed, when it’s complete, Hudson Yards will seem like a city unto itself, with its dozens of skyscrapers, millions of square feet of retail and commercial space, restaurants, condominiums, markets, a new “culture shed,” a new park, and much more, but it will be under construction for some twenty years. The Coach building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and has 52 floors.

You can find some sort of grafitti or mural paintings on almost every corner in the Village, on every building of each street... all you need is an open mind, and eyes naturally.
Last November my girlfriend and I went to New York for a week. Since we came home, we haven't stopped thinking about going back again.
Here's to Gotham City!
