Photo by myself, around Lafayette and East Fourth Street, in NoHo.
A homeless man decided to pick up his dog, the other day, piggyback. I'm not sure what was going on here.
With the cold weather, the homeless are more noticeable on the streets and in the subways. Usually they camp out in front of churches and empty buildings.
Above, a couple homeless people and their dog camped out in front of a restaurant that was under renovation.

Traveling Art, in NoHo
Photo by myself around Houston and Mercer Streets, in NoHo.
I've seen this truck a couple times before. Sitting on top of it is a sculpture by Sergio Furnare, a New York artist, depicting a well known photograph of iron workers on their lunch break.
The original black and white photo was taken in 1932 of ironworkers working at Rockefeller Center. They were sitting on the 69th floor and you could see the city below them. The truck is Furnare's traveling billboard.
We had a gorgeous day in the city, Saturday. It felt like Spring, on the cool side with sunshine.
In the background left is a sculpture by the minimalist artist Forrest Myers. It's comprised of a grid of beams cantilevering out from a building.

Genesis Mural, NoHo
Photo by myself on Lafayette and Bond Streets, in Noho.
A mural depicting part of the Sistine Chapel fresco hangs above a street corner in NoHo.
The original mural by Michelangelo is huge, and illustrates all the parts of Genesis. This particular scene shows God giving life to Adam. It is the most recognizable panel.
I'm not sure who painted the mural, above, or its significance. It doesn't seem to be an advertisement.

Did anyone catch the Giants' game yesterday?!
Mark and I rarely watch football, but we couldn't refrain from supporting a New York team so close to the finals. The Giants won a nail biting contest against San Francisco that went into overtime, 20 to 17.
The Superbowl takes place in two weeks, on February 5th. New York will play the New England Patriots, who are favored to win by 3 points. Mark and I will certainly be tuning in!

Parked in NoHo
Photo by myself on Lafayette and Bond Streets, in Noho.
As in most cities, when space is an issue, the solution is building up. That goes for a parking lot, too.
Happy Friday, everyone!

Big Wampum Poster, on Houston Street
Photo by myself on Houston Street and Bowery, in NoHo.
This gigantic mural caught my eye, Monday morning.
'Lakota, Dakota Nation' refers to two Native American reservations in North Dakota. The installation was done after the artist, 'JR', received a $100,000 grant awarded by TED, a non-profit agency dedicated to innovation.
'JR' is a street artist. He specializes in large scale portraits placed in urban settings. For his online portfolio, click here.

Outside 40 Bond Street, in Noho
Photo by myself outside 40 Bond Street, in NoHo.
A slight man was standing in front of 40 Bond Street, the latest Ian Schrager-developed condominium building. This avant-garde building was designed by noted Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, and is comprised of 27 luxury loft apartments.
The exterior of 40 Bond Street is made up of steel parts encased in green glass. Each apartment enjoys 11-foot ceiling heights, modern kitchens and a 24-hour on call concierge.
A slight man was standing outside the building while I was there. I wasn't able to get a very good photo of the building, unfortunately. The sculptural element is a screen, made of cast aluminum and inspired by graffiti.
Apparently one-bedrooms went for $3.1 million. Three-bedrooms were sold for $9.94 million. Dollars.
For more information about the building and more comprehensive photos, click here.
Mark had suggested I take a photo of the building above. 'Why don't you see that cool new building on Bond? You know, the one Bono was thinking of buying into?'
Half my trouble was figuring out where Bond Street was. I'd walked down it and past it many times but my brain failed to register the location.
It turns out that Bond Street was more centralized than I thought. It's a tiny street 3 blocks in length, between Broadway and Bowery. It's the equivalent of East Second Street.
