i went to NY this past week to celebrate a friend’s 40th. he and another good friend of ours do this trip every year, mainly to see a handful of broadway shows. i’m not much of a theater queen, but used my friend’s 40th this year as an excuse to make it out.
each show i saw was great! hair, fuerzabruta and broadway bares. so much fun.
but what i also love to do when in a city that isn’t my own is walk around to see the people, public spaces, buildings and art, and NY is one of the best places to do it. below are some of my favorite scenes from the week.
taken from the high line. a little hard to see, but great street art on the wall.
also from the high line, chelsea/meatpacking district
japanese restaurant in chelsea
sweet building in midtown, next to the chrysler building (also a favorite)
LOVE the art deco detailing
haha
facade of comme des garcons in chelsea; love the juxtaposition of the street art with the futuristic, egg-shaped silver entrance
cool amphitheater/aquarium-type lookout space at the high line
