Lower East Side

Sunday we took a trip to visit Mr. & Mrs. Jonny & Amy in their new digs in the l.e.s. the top shot is the view from their living room! not bad.

Then we did a walking tour, saw the Essex Street Market, for those of you who don't know, its where former NYC Mayor LaGuardia made all the food vendors and pushcarts move inside off the streets, and its still in operation today. Fishmongers, produce sellers, butchers...you name it. It was fascinating, having never been there.

We also went to an abandoned such marketplace, and inside there was an art installation. You enter thru an abandoned Chinese reataurant then weave your way throughout all the abandoned cavernous rooms and hallways and wind up in a huge space with tons and tons of sand dumped in this huge extinct meat market. very cool. very l.e.s. ;-)

And finally we passed the Rockwood Music Hall where my friends boyfriend, Randall Shreve usually gigs (check him out on Myspace - he's awesome), but who was on the line-up tonight!? Dorian Spencer! I gotta check him out sometime!
