More of New York

Shoes

There are lots of shoe shop windows with these amazingly high heels. It occurs to me - who wears them. Well top left and bottom right were in Times Square. Left, my favourites were, (as you would!) at the famous Joes Pizza Restaurant in Greenich at 11.30 am.

THE HIGHLINE

What do New Yorkers do with an old raised railway line that
is no longer used. Why turn it into a raised walkway - grow
 indigenous plants to the area, put in some sculpture displays,

seating and cafes and everyone has a good time. It is such a peaceful place in the middle of the city. People use it to hang out, walk, have lunch or practice their gymnastics!

 Punk Exhibition

These photos are from the window of Goldman Sachs - a big store on Fifth Avenue. They are promoting the Punk Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum which I went to.  I found it really interesting. It followed the punk movement who wanted to be different and oppose a lot of societal norms but somehow ended up creating a fashion that still influences designs today.

Finally

You'd better believe it. there are some crazy people in New York!

These were in Times Square. Left the singing cowgirl and right someone trying to make a buck.

Bottom right

We were walking down Fifth Avenue and there was a long line outside the shop Abercrombie and Kent - like they were queuing to be allowed to buy. We went back later and the queue was gone but this model was still there. I'm 5 foot 6 so how tall is he? I did notice his abs had makeup on them but he's still an impressive specimen!
