I get that. Downtown Manhattan neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, West Village, Soho, Tribeca, East Village and Lower East Side have a way different 'neighborhood-y' feel to them, each with their own character. Sadly, the Real Estate machine, its financial interest, (ahem, greed) and its disinterest in preserving the very reason people like to visit here, is swiftly in tearing apart the city and turning it into one bland gentrified mecca of tall glass towers. Very depressing.
I live in NYC, love all forms of art, old scary movies, PBS, and dark chocolate. I have an identical twin sister, chew the inside of my mouth, do not fear snakes, (but will burst into a Native American War Dance at the sight of a cockroach, complete with yodeling) love three-legged dogs and one-eyed cats, but have neither, and sing the 'Our Father' in funny renditions every night before bed.

Very nice photogradphy. Some of those don't look like what I think of when I think 'Manhattan'.

Love the one with the chair. Gotta enjoy that sittin' weather before it disappears!
I love that one, too, Victoria, mostly because it doesn't look like a typical Manhattan scene to me! :))
