There's much to delight the eye in New York's outer boroughs.
Yep, this tribute to her replaced an earlier one (on the same wall by the same artist) to Pope John Paul II.
Many homes in the Brooklyn neighborhood called Bedford-Stuyvesant are among New York's most beautiful. Architect Montrose Morris designed this Hancock St. residence, completed in 1886.
Big Pun has apparently, uh, left the building.
Believe it or not, Brooklyn now has three different and distinct Chinese business districts. I spotted this highly optimistic sign in the largest of them, the one centered along Eighth Ave. in Sunset Park.
Trumpeters Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Shavers are all buried in Flushing Cemetery. So are several Morons.
I found this one Tuesday morning on a sidewalk along Carmine St. in Greenwich Village. By Wednesday afternoon, no trace of it remained.
This venerable Pepsi sign along the rapidly changing waterfront in western Queens has been granted protected status by the municipal government.
This monument to the bricklayer's art, completed in 1883, stands on Lafayette St. close to the intersection of Broadway and Houston St. in Lower Manhattan.
This tribute to the Pope went up, soon after his death, at the corner of Houston St. and First Ave. in New York's East Village -- but remained in place only until the passing of Celia Cruz!
