New York Monday: Garden

May 20, 2013 | Filed Under New York Monday | 3 Comments

This is a garden in one of the housing projects. Last year, when I passed by, I saw some beautiful flowers, including a lovely rose, which I had not expected to see. I look forward to seeing the flowers that will grow here, this summer.

Have a wonderful new week, everyone!

Passing through Harlem, going further uptown.

You get a nice scenic view riding above ground.

Have a wonderful new week, everyone!

New York Monday: Pink and the City

May 6, 2013 | Filed Under New York Monday | 6 Comments

Pink is not my favorite color.

However, I have to admit that I love to see this color all around the city, during spring time.

The pink seems to beautify the city, even more.

Also, the pink against the blue sky is eye-catching!

Have a wonderful new week, everyone!

New York Monday: Take the ‘A’ Train

April 29, 2013 | Filed Under New York Monday | 5 Comments

Take the "A" Train

You must take the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill, way up in Harlem
If you miss the "A" train
You’ll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry, get on, now it’s coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming all aboard
Get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

You must take the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill, way up in Harlem

Many are familiar with the ‘A’ train, even if they have never taken it because of the jazz song made popular by Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. One of its stops is on 125th Street station. The photo above actually shows a side exit from the station. As you see in the sign, you can catch other trains at this station, too.

Happy New York Monday, everyone! Have a terrific new week!

P.S. You can listen to a recording of the song, featuring Ella Fizgerald and Duke Ellington, HERE.
