It's New Year's Eve and it's snowing! I don't remember when the last time it snowed on New Year's Eve. Last year? Anyways, here are my last set of pictures for the year of 2008.

For pictures of 2009, go here. See you in the new year!

I was at the corner of Prince and Sullivan when I noticed some pretty lights in a dark window. I then realized that corner housed a church of some kind. Oh, this happened at night...

It's the Monday following Christmas and almost everything is on SALE! I know the sales started right after Christmas...

I like these two storefronts the best - eye catching and funny slogan.

I was at Union Square and the outdoor Holiday market was being dismantled. A sure sign that Christmas is over. It was a relatively warm day too. The birds were out and about looking for food and feasting on whatever was on the lawn.

The lady with blue hair is my favorite picture of the day!

I hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas or holiday gathering. It's the day after Christmas and I went to return a few things I bought but never gave out. Also, I bought a book for my mom as a Christmas present but it turned out she picked up a copy of the book already. Oh well.

Anyway, I made the returns at the Barnes and Noble in Tribeca. The same building as the Whole Foods in Tribeca. When I left to head down to the PATH station, I noticed across the street a sign for monthly UNLIMITED sun tanning at $80! Who the hell needs that many tannings in a month?!

It's Christmas Eve! Here's a picture of our little Christmas tree. It sits on top of the television.

Just days before Christmas and people are still shopping and getting last minute gifts and taking advantage of last minute sales. It was a busy day at Union Square. The outdoor shops were full of people looking and buying. We also had a bit of snow fall too.

Christmas is fast approaching! This is my favorite holiday - all the merriment, the decorations, the joy, and happiness of Christmas.

It's the holiday season and the city and buildings, and storefronts are dressed for the holiday celebrations. Everything looks great with twinkle lights!

I was at Rockafeller Center this evening. I forget how crazy crowded it can get in that area during the holidays. Anyways, it was nice to see the pretty lights. They were setting up for the tree lighting when I was there. Enjoy!

It's not even Thanksgiving yet but the outdoor shops at Union Square are up and running; selling gifts for your holiday needs.

I was standing in line at Olives during lunch time and was bored and so took this picture of the banner outside Kid Robot.

Today was supposed to be cold but it wasn't that bad. I took pictures of odd things. I hope you find that just as amusing.

It rained on and off today. It seemed like another Saturday until I was down by City Hall. I was on the M6 bus when I noticed a huge protest gathering outside the gates of City Hall. They were protesting against Proposition 8 - banning gay marriage. As you know, it is the current controversy after the elections.

It's autumn and the leaves are turning colors and falling from the branches. There are lots of pretty leaves and I remember when I was a young child I would pick up the colorful leaves of autumn. Of course, they didn't last very long or were eventually thrown out at my mother's insistence.

And when I walked to the train station to go home, I know noticed bright lights - they were filming I don't know what.

It was a brisk Sunday in Jersey City. We walked up Christopher Columbus Drive from the PATH station at Exchange Place. On the pavement are prints of fallen leaves. The prints were created as a natural stain when leaves fell to the pavement due to heavy rainfall. The wet leaves remained until someone brushed it aside or they dried up and blew away with the wind. The prints are pretty cool.

Went shopping in the Farmer's Market for some vegetables at Union Square. We got some carrots. But then one in particular caught my eyes. At first, I saw that it had two legs and then I noticed it had a nub between his legs too. A carrot with legs and a penis? You wouldn't believe me if I told you which is why I took pictures. And then when I brought it home and was preparing to cook the carrot, I noticed he had a tail too! See for yourself...

Today was a nice day for the first day of November. It was surprisingly warm for November. I hit the farmer's market at Union Square and bought a few items.

It's Halloween and people were in their festive costumes. Some original and creative, and others were standard. I was also in Central Park for the Chanel Mobile Art exhibition in Central Park. For pictures from the Mobile Art, please visit:

Had dinner at a restaurant called Peasant in Soho. The restaurant is on Elizabeth Street. Peasant serves comfort Italian food. Prices are a bit pricey. The starters and main courses are great. I ordered the special starter, which was the rabbit livers over creamy polenta and wild mushrooms. The livers were a bit on the dry side but good. For the main course, I got the Osso Buco served with barley. The dessert was not up to par with the savory dishes. I ordered the peach tart but was served the pear tart. Apparently, the dessert menu had a typo. In any case, it was huge! It was enough to feed three people. The tart was also served with a scoop of hazelnut ice cream.

I was at Union Square. It was a busy day with lots of people enjoying Autumn in New York City! I was waiting for the bus when I saw this couple on a black Vespa.
