Walked the Manhattan Bridge on Wednesday night and found a random thug who let me take pictures of him. Ha. He’s such a ham, he posed for a million pictures, most of which he put on his mean face to let us know how much of a hardass he is. But I got a little smile in this one.
And this is where he wished he lived:
Rooftop covered in graffiti with lower Manhattan skyline in the back. Pretty cool. And here’s the view from the bridge a further down:
We walked across the bridge to DUMBO and I showed him a secret I discovered down there one day – ok, so it’s not much of a secret but I had no idea of its existence and was thrilled to stumble upon when I did. I have to go back and photograph it soon, but for now it’s staying a secret.
Another thing I was happy to discover that night (and by discover I mean it was shown to me) was the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. That area is just beautiful in its own rite with the different brownstones and apartment buildings but the promenade was nice as well. There were older gentleman gathered around a bench singing what sounded like some old Irish tunes just for fun. Not husking, just singing to sing. So Brooklyn. There’s some construction going on underneath the promenade for what’s going to be what looks like a pretty big park – including a pool. Right now it just looks like a mess to me, a mess I needed to take a picture of.
Yep, just another good night in Brooklyn, New York. I’m never going to get sick of this.
I love the graffiti! You need to take more pictures of stuff like that for me.
And there was not one food photo in here I noticed.
Haha, my life isn’t JUST about food, you know. :)
And I’ll try to get some more street art pics in here sometimes.
Why is that bad boy there wearing a hat?! Is it that cold!? SHould I pack a winter coat :)
A light jacket won’t hurt ya for sure. And I’ve got plenty of scarves you can wear so don’t worry about that. hehe :)
Cool pictures! I’ll never understand graffiti, though.
Me, I would be afraid to walk up to a random thug on a lonely bridge after dark in NY. But then, I’m not a cute female twenty-something. Wait, how does that work?! :-)
Are you worried about crime where you are?
I love the clouds in that last photo. :-)
Thanks!
And really, the thug wasn’t so random. :)
The crime – eh. It happens but I’ve only felt unsafe a handful of times. There’s typically always people around. Plus, you know I’m from DETROIT.
