New York City: The snow is falling

// February 26th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Photography, Photojournalism

This is my second snowstorm of 2010 so far in New York. It’s been snowing for the past 24 hours and it’s still coming down. We’re heading down to Central Park soon, so I’ll have more pictures then.

Here are some photos from my recent trip to the Museum of Modern Art, home of the Tim Burton exhibit. If you get a chance, I highly recommend you go see it!

New York City: The West Village

// February 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // Photography, Photojournalism

I spent Friday exploring The West and Greenwich Village. One of the things that I really like about the village is the rod-iron fire escapes on all of the buildings. I also found the apartment complex where they filmed the exterior shot of Friends. It’s Monica, Chandler and Joey’s apartment.

New York City: Chinatown

What started out with a trip to the East Village ended up with me being completely lost in Chinatown.

It’s really easy to start out in one direction and just wonder around the city and end up somewhere completely different.

Chinatown is by far my favorite place in NYC so far. The culture is completely different and if you didn’t know any better, you wouldn’t even know you were still in the city.

The city also has a different heartbeat at night than the day. At night, the streets are bright with the glow of restaurants and signs, the streets are bustling with happy people enjoying their time with friends and it just seems more festive.

During the day, the city is more cold, people rush about going to meetings appointments and work. It’s hard to overlook most of the restaurants and small cafe’s because you can’t see inside of them as well and are more likely to just walk by.

Just walking is what landed me in Chinatown. There’s so much to see, small vendors, chinese grocery stores, real actual chinese food to eat too! Like most villages in Manhattan, it’s a city in itself.

Enjoy the photos!

New York City: Food Tour

// February 19th, 2010 // No Comments » // Photography, Photojournalism

We started our food tour on Monday with Lunch at Dumpling House in the Lower East Side. The pork scallion pancakes were amazing and for two dollars, you can’t beat it. From there we hopped over to Rice to Riches, a great rice pudding shop in SoHo. From there we skipped around town traveling between SoHo, NoLita, and Little Italy. We made our final stop on the food tour at Vosges Haut Chocolat and picked up the most amazing thing ever, a Mo’s Bacon Bar. This chocolate bar has applewood smoked bacon, Alder wood smoked salt and chocolate. Yumm!
