The duckies

A family of ducks: dad, mom and six kiddies. I didn’t see them at first since I was busy, not sure doing what on a beach – then I saw the dad sticking his long neck out and staring at me: I’m guarding my kids with my life -:)

Ya, I apologized.

Carnegie Hall 卡内基音乐厅


881 7th Ave,
New York, NY 10019

… a stone throw away from Lincoln Center.

My first visit to a back stage. It was arranged by a genealogy group.

part of the text are missing

We get to see a little more than a concert goer would, other than the greats lining up the wall. We get to visit the museum/shop too, which I normally won’t go.

 

I come here often:

 

The parking situation is straightforward: garage (not as nice as Lincoln Center‘s underground tho) or street. Before the Billionaire’s Row, I was able to park on meter (1 hour parking till 8pm) on 57th Street, directly across from the Hall. I generally get there a little before 7 and then off to dinner: perfect.

 

 

停车情况很简单: 车库(虽然不像林肯中心的地下那么方便)或街道. 在到达亿万富翁街完成之前, 我总可以在 57 街(大厅正对面)按咪表停车(停车 1 小时, 直到晚上 8 点). 我通常在 7 点之前到达那里, 然后去吃晚饭:完美.

Jam


1414 6th Avenue
New York, 10019

Will return.

I like their decorations: high ceiling,  exposed brick walls. And the plant (cactus?) grows on a plate – they spray them twice a week.

Decent service. Nice bar. Nothing to complain about.

I’ve the smoked tofu which is yummy but light on salt. Maybe bit more kale? Ha ha ha.

We sat inside. I just couldn

The Apple in the Big Apple

I passed by this Apple store all the time and went in a few times in the past. Recently I noticed it’s under renovation (since 2017); and not sure what will become of it when the work is done. Crossing fingers.

Since I’ve visited two in Paris a couple of weeks ago, so I stopped by this one today after Central Park stroll.


This photo was taken by NYMag on September 19 in 2014 at this location, recorded the iPhone 6 ipo – many Asians could be seen in the photo.

SoHo was their first; their 4th store in New York (279th in total) near Lincoln Center on Broadway was opened on 2009.11.14.

Central Park by 59th St

I don’t go to this section of the Park often, and am surprised at the tranquility I felt, in spite of traffic noises from 59th Street, and you can picnicJam’s is a stone throw away.

Characters @ Times Square

Times Square is always filled with all kinds of people … A few girls are passing out musical Waitress booklets …

Rainy n cold

It rained hard this morning but by afternoon, sun came out a little, which made the water alive.

One group of gardener did come to do their routine. They put on yellow ponchos and blowed – how could they do it in the hard rain was interesting.

Jade Asian Bistro 明都


249-32 Horace Harding Expy
Little Neck, NY 11362

This was the old Pine Court. Not much has changed. The decoration is better than their Flushing branch. The service and food are average. It’s convenient for me: a Chinese grocery store is next door.
