DUMBO

Today, I dropped off a photo in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn.  It is going in the biannual show "Generations" at A.I.R. Gallery.  I like this show because it is for a good cause, varying form year to year.  The neighbourhood is pretty neat too.  It is under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges.  There are some cool warehouse buildings, some graffiti, a park, a great bookshop, and Rice, a nice restaurant.

Thankfully, the weather was nice.  So.... I decided to go to Bluestocking in the Lower East Side afterwards.  Good thing I did.  When we got off the F train at 2nd Avenue there was a vintage subway train across the platform!  So, naturally all us way too cool people whip out our cameras and devices and start taking pictures like silly tourists.  It was just so darn cool!  The cars were beautiful inside and out!  This is something the MTA is doing for the holidays on Sundays only.

I might not be a huge fan of NYC, but things like this, I do like and it softened my heart a bit.
