If you’re at all inclined to appreciate staggeringly beautiful plants — staggering because you might be like OMG and trip over your foot, which I may or may not have done — I recommend going north to Fort Tryon Park in Washington Heights, where the heather gardens are now in bloom.
So after it got nice out — and it got REALLY nice out — I went out looking for lion heads in the local dumpsters but didn’t find any :( So I made my way down to the river, which as it usually does looked amazing in the afternoon light.
Here’s a building in the 160s and Broadway that’s one of my favorites, especially on raw, gray days like today, because even though it could use a pretty good cleaning, against the gray sky it looks like a fortress.
Here’s the fire station on my block, which always looks great in the morning sun.

Apt 78
Pix from last night’s Uptown Collective party at the swank new Apartment 78 at 4447 Broadway (b/w 191 and 192). (There’s a GPO me in one of them.)
