NY Through the Lens - New York City Photography

Street art and a bicycle. Soho, New York City

Through each scattered urban landscape every sidewalk dream unfolds periphally as daily adventurers traverse the city full of promise and silent giddy trepidation.

It’s in the quiet still moments marked by emptiness, vast loneliness and encroaching solitude that these peripheral dreamscapes come into focus.

These moments, suspended in time, marinate in the severity of their potential to eventually etch themselves into the eternity of the mind.

The rest of time moves with the rapid ebb and flow of life like bits and pieces of paint on a wall chipping and peeling off, finally scattering like a discarded lover’s flower petals in the wind.

I love this building so much. It was built in 1909 and the dome is made entirely out of copper. The building is known as ‘Police Building Apartments’ which pays homage to its history:

“240 Centre Street, formerly the New York City Police Headquarters building, between Broome and Grand Streets in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1905-1909, and was designed by the firm of Hoppin & Koen. It housed the headquarters of the New York City Police Department from 1909 to 1973, and was converted into luxury condominiums in 1988 by the firm of Ehrenkranz Group & Eckstut. It is now known as the Police Building Apartments.”Source

Personal and regular size cheesecakes at Eileen’s Special Cheesecake. Nolita, New York City.

Eileen’s Special Cheesecake has been open since 1975 on a sliver of a block called Cleveland Place in what is now referred to as Nolita (North of Little Italy). I am personally fond of their peanut butter cookies. :)
