Like a world unto itself......very nice!

I finally went back to NYC for a leisure trip, not to see Broadway or Times Square, or anything, really. Just to get away, shop some stores, and eat some ethnic food. Yeap. I wanted to find Tibetan and Sichuan cuisine, because I missed those exotic spices. While I was there, I walked some random streets and snapped pics.
First, some food....
Flushing is the extension of Chinatown. Walking the streets, it's barely indistinguishable from some cities in china. The sights, the smells, the food.
I visited a dumpling house for breakfast.
Fried:
Steamed:
I ate at Juniors off of broadway. Always a good meal.
Egg creams are interesting. Can't say I would get another.
Pile of turkey and a few plates of sides. No room for that famous cheesecake after this, unfortunately.
Authentic Sichuan Beef
Sichuan pork noodles.
Which i had at pretty much every sichuan place.
Fried pork belly in a light and crispy batter covered in a sweet sauce
Sliced potato
An unusual form of Kungpao (not sichuan style)
Someone recommended I walk the High Line, which was an abandoned elevated rail system in the meatpacking district. Why was it elevated? Because a bunch of people kept getting killed when it wasn't. It has been turned into a pedestrian walkway with gardens, vendors, art, and historic information. It's not quite finished, but the parts that are, are very well done. I highly recommend checking it out.
Everything in NYC is, or is next to, something under construction. I wanted to shoot historic buildings for NYH, but the two that I went to has scaffolding all over them. So I gave up hunting.
Then off to the harbor late at night. No tripod, so these are all hand-held.
