When In New York City

Basking at South Street Seaport

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:18:00 +0000

Normally, February is one of the coldest months in New York City. But 2012's first day of February felt like the first day of spring, or like the first day of summer if you were in direct beam of the sunlight! Here are some New Yorkers taking a break at NYC's historic South Street Seaport. Regardless of the weather, there's always something to eat and drink there.

And just to give you an example, this was scenic view last year at the same locale, pre-benches and sans warm rays.

Bull on Wall St.

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 04:58:00 +0000

This is not exactly the Merril Lynch bull, but you can always count on a company that has gone public to have some sort of display at the New York Stock Exchange in order to promote itself.

B.I.G. in L.I.C.

This mural of the late Brooklyn rapper, Notorious B.I.G., can be seen from the 7 train in the borough of Queens, NY. Where's Nas? Rakim?

Batmobile Invades Wall Street

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 23:25:00 +0000

Don't know what to make of the new Batmobile look, as Christian Bale now utilizes The Tumbler.

Unfortunately, the owner of the Batmobile, Batman, remained elusive as always.

The Merril Lynch Bull, the original, has not changed his stance.

High Line Park

From formerly abandoned railroad tracks to another scenic view of NYC (meat-packing district area--14th st. & 10 Ave.), The High Line is another place to walk around and see a different view of Manhattan, see a celebrity or two, enjoy an event/food/art, and get a close look at old rail lines without the fear of getting electrocuted.

On a sunny day, a great way to catch a tan.

Thankfully, no more SNOWY winters!

The Merrill Lynch Bull faces a visiting family during one of NYC's many winter storms earlier this year.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:36:00 +0000

Whether day or night, NYC baseball, in this case the Yankees belting the Red Sox, is sure to bring out the stars such as the G.O.A.T., Muhammad Ali.

Nothing but love for the NY Mets!

Staten Island Ferry

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:06:00 +0000

One of the better ways to look at some of NYC's bridges as well as a glimpse of The Statue of Liberty is to take the Staten Island Ferry. There is no cost and the ride takes approximately 25 minutes, plenty of time to whip out the camera and take some pictures!

Circle Line Cruise

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:28:00 +0000

Whether it's the city's skyline, New York's or New Jersey's, Circle Line Cruise on 42nd st. and 12th Ave ia a good place to see the tourist side of NYC. Be prepared to stand in line as many people are lining up before the hot weather stops and the cold along all piers begin.

Orchard Beach

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 01:18:00 +0000

Over in the Bronx, Orchard Beach is a good place for catching a tan, a ball game or a concert. Just check the forecast first!

Coney Island - Brooklyn, NY

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:57:00 +0000

Lately, it's been doomsday for Brooklyn's Coney Island. Hopefully, the condominium-crazed NYC market will not take away from one of the city's oldest visuals.

Besides, where else are we going to have those hot dog eating contests??

Brooklyn Bridge

noreply@blogger.com (NYC BMMA Fan) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:50:00 +0000

The co-star of too many movies to name, the Brooklyn Bridge is as big as any American landmark.

Tourists can use it for views of the Statue of Liberty as well as the Empire State Building. Locals use it to drive, walk, run or cycle their way to Manhattan and back.

In addition to the grand daddy of them all, Rucker Park on 155th st., there are many other street-ball games in all the boroughs.

This is one example of street-ball games in Manhattan.

Anytime in NYC

Welcome and enter!

It's officially summertime in NYC and there are a smorgasboard of things to do. Whether it's enjoying the parks, parades, Broadway/Late Shows, or even the sporting events available in the Big Apple, there are certainly alternatives to any and all desires.

I have seen quite a few pictures of other cities, but they are usually reserved to an artistic shot or friendly confines. This is all well and good but for someone looking to experience a city wthout actually going through each and every block, this makes the visual journey less intimate.

I will post pictures of events and places that I go to and encourage any and all to submit link to pictures and videos of your own.

Let's seee how this goes.
