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.

I ate at Juniors off of broadway. Always a good meal.
Egg creams are interesting. Can't say I would get another.
Image

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.

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.

Nice shots. How does the food compare to the "real thing"? Is the "authentic" really authentic?
