9 S William Street

A small n cute hotel on Wall Street, that is housed in the former Lehman Brothers’, which was built in 1836. The little phone booth by the entrance is nostalgic. They provide breakfast. The room is small which is expected.

This five story building was built in 1850 for the importer A.A. Low & Brothers at the S Street Seaport. Abiel Abbot Low (1811-1893) was the father of Seth (1850-1916) who, while the president of Columbia, built Low library at the school.
New York‘s South Street Seaport by Wall Street is one of my faves.
While the war between Ukraine and Russia is till going on, the Peace sign is particularly appropriated. Peace, Love & Happiness.
The renovation seems pretty much done. Lightship Ambrose;
South of the South Street: This corner shop used to be a bar in the 1980s. Then a clothing store. Is Loft or Ann Taylor closed? Scotch & Soda.
Wall Street where streets are narrow and winding: Tiffany & Co. @ 37 Wall Street; Cipriani @ 55 Wall St., 63 Wall St; 67 Wall St., 111 Wall St., 120 Wall St.

Meeting two friends in the city. One of them said, she heard there is a terror attack in Times Square yesterday and the Americans are not reporting it. “I get it from China.” Both are from China and have lived in US for an extended period. They turned to me, “Have you heard?”
“No.” I said.
“See, they don’t report bad news. There are so many police men and fire tracks, how could it not be an attack?”
I knew fire trucks are everywhere when there is an emergency. Years ago when the apartment above us had a leak into our apartment, the fire trucks came after I called 911. I specifically said there was only water lead.
Would this friend’s ignorance with fire truck results in a rumor … “see, xyz lives in US and said, the Americans don’t report bad news …”
#7 subway in late morning is pretty empty. Instead, many bikes. The 42nd Street Times Square station.
A slow Monday morning in Flushing. It takes only about 3 minutes to have my order done. On weekends, it took about 20 minutes.
A young man explains the difference between large and small orders: more meat in large, that’s all.
