Croton-on-Hudson - Misc NY

New York is endlessly fascinating with something to dazzle every where we turned. Walking the streets was a real two-fer: we got our walking in and had a ball just looking around.

Here is the Cunard Line building. The other two times we’ve been by this shiny golden door, we’ve seen a man in uniform standing at attention.

Other doors are not in gold but have golden statuary on them.

So how did this Subway Sandwich shop get its own entrance?

The sun caught this building just right.

We visited Trinity Church which is silhouetted against the fires from the Twin Towers.

There’s so much building in New York City that lots of streets are covered like this. Get used to walking in tunnels.

Who in the marketing department thought that lobsters would be good models for their clothing?

On an RV, we call these ‘slides’ - I wonder what a hotel calls them.

Many years ago, at least 40 years, we visited New York City with Gary’s parents and his younger sister, Dawn. We passed a Godiva Chocolate shoppe and Lug, Gary’s father, said he’s treat - one piece for each of us. We waited outside and he came out with a stunned look on his face and a small bag in his hands. ‘These cost $5.00 - and I only got 5’ he said as he opened the bag. His kind of candy doesn’t cost that much.

I like it when they tell us which way to go.

But, I’ll end with the lions out side the New York Public Library - don’t they look haughty? You’d better not have a late book.
