It's great now because the facade was cleaned over the winter. You're lucky to live nearby.<br /><br />Hi Fredrik<br />Yes yes yes. They simply don't build buildings like this anymore.<br /><br />I was running my hands all over the carved marble handrails. The guards thought I was NUTS. But they are GORGEOUS!<br /><br />Hi Bibi<br />So glad to run into another library lover!!! Yes, this one is the 'real deal'.<br /><br />Hi Olivier<br />Oh yes, the Library Walk, the bronze plaques inset into the sidewalk that are nearby. That would be a good thing to photograph.<br /><br />Hi Clueless<br />I love the Boston Public Library. It has a similar feeling on the outside (large Beaux Arts Building). I haven't been there in years. It must be gorgeous too!<br /><br />Thanks Frank!<br /><br />Hi Sylvia<br />I hope you're enjoying your stay here in NYC. You are SO lucky because the weather is just perfect - cool, breezy and spring like. I hope you take lots of photos!<br /><br />Thank you Ms. Virginia!<br /><br />Thanks Hladovy!<br /><br />Hi Terry<br />I agree with you about Fifth Avenue. That was a time when Fifth Avenue must have been just another street. How weird!<br /><br />Hi Me-Ami<br />That's an interesting analogy, a book museum. The lighting in the main reading room along the walls really convey that idea, lighting each bookcase as if a special display.<br /><br />Hi Diane<br />Thanks for commenting! I have a special place in my heart for SF. Mark has been threatening to move there for the longest time, lol.<br /><br />I'll have to check out the Winnie the Pooh exhibit next time I have a long lunch. That sounds like fun. I am an avid Pooh fan. :-)Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-50324999120502473352010-03-09T18:09:35.059-05:002010-03-09T18:09:35.059-05:00Hi Kitty--

I live about 90 minutes from San Francisco, another beautiful city. I've been to New York twice in the last 5 years and loved it both times. I tell people it is S.F. x 10 for everything to see and do.<br /><br />Wanted to say that you didn't mention the original Winnie the Pooh teddy bear and the other stuffed animals that belonged to Christopher Milne are on display in the childrens' room at the library. My family and I saw them there last October. Another reason to visit this incredible building.Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-37006038638696334042010-03-08T18:07:36.602-05:002010-03-08T18:07:36.602-05:00Libraries make me happy, and the New York Public L...Libraries make me happy, and the New York Public Library is like a book museum.

Regarding the reservoir shot, it's fascinating to see how narrow Fifth Avenue was then and to note the absence of tall buildings.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-42884793333085754062010-03-08T02:13:36.275-05:002010-03-08T02:13:36.275-05:00Amazing place, beutiful photosAmazing place, beutiful photosAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345443668336917300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-16843168779680693142010-03-07T21:32:44.063-05:002010-03-07T21:32:44.063-05:00Kitty,
