Adam and Peter are in Midtown.
The rain is coming down softly, the lights are getting more noticeable, and the people of New York are enjoying a well-deserved moment of rest. It is Saturday, and Peter and I have just returned from another of our weekly adventures: this time, in Midtown. Midtown Manhattan is the busiest single commercial district in North America. Skyscrapers loom large over the relatively small area that boasts a work force of 3 million commuters. Overall, we had a great time perusing the streets, taking in times square and walking amongst the beautiful fashionistas of the garment district.
Madison Square Garden: home of the Rangers, Liberty and the Knicks. Many great champions have been made and destroyed within the walls behind Peter and I.
"The Most Famous Arena in the World" also plays host to a variety of popular musical acts. The Garden was the site of John Lennon's final public concert before his untimely death at the hands of Mark David Chapman. Here, Peter 'imagines' what it would have been like to see John.
Manuel is the last line of defence when it comes to illegal parking. He happily posed for this photograph with Peter before returning to his duties.
Pretzel vendors are common in New York City. Delicious and salty, pretzels are the perfect snack for photo-journalists.
The Fashion District is a design, warehouse, and distribution nexus of the clothing and fabric industry for the East Coast of the United States.
This is Oscar De La Renta, the famous designer. Here, I try to channel some of his genius.
Fashion can suggest or signify social status, or membership in a specific sub-culture. Here Peter is looking rather unfashionable, unable to gain entry to the shows.
Times Square is wrought with advertisement.
This is the Fed-ex street team. They take your picture, and give you instructions as to where to find the picture online. Thanks for the compliments on our outfits!
Skyscrapers: they steal light from our faces, but give light to our hearts (in the form of inspiration).
Deliciously close to the MTV store, the Armed Forces Building is one of the primary sites of recruitment for the military.
These Jamaican fellows used Times Square as a platform to promote their causes. Peter helps them out for a picture.
Almost every square inch of Times Square is full of lights and screens that constantly bombard passersby with promotional material. Here is Peter's favorite sign.
Peter watches TV inside the MTV store with some excited tourists.
See Ya Midtown!
