Why I Love New York # 2,008,656

There's always something in the air.

"Sandy's Rainbow" over Abingdon Square, November 29, 2012

From the roof of the Standard Hotel

Across the far west Village

Over what was once the meat market

But now becomes a disco at the drop of a hat ... or destruction.

 New Yorkers know to look for rainbows after a storm.

Photographs of Sandy's Rainbow, an installation by artist Yvette Mattern,

by Tom Eubanks.

The worst moment on morning television. Ever.

Or perhaps I had fallen back to sleep and was experiencing an early morning nightmare?

I can't imagine having to share actual time with four more despicable celubutards. 

Poor Willie Geist had to conduct this 'panel,' if I recall correctly.

Still trying to shake it . . . 

First Snowperson of the Year

Spotted on 12th Street between 5th Avenue and University Place, 

in storm-ravaged Manhattan, en route to P.S. 19 

to mentor the most incredible 10-year-old artists.

I hope her name was Sandy.
