I know people may be sick of blizzard talk by now, but here is my little story from Sunday. My friend Bryan and I had good intentions of taking photos all around, but our plans might have been a bit ambitious. The wind was especially killer, the light died quickly, and we got hungry. We struggled with the storm, took a few pictures (see his photo of me
here) but when I felt my limbs were about to fall off, we sought warmth and food. The financial district is already a ghost town on the weekends, but it was obviously even quieter that day.
We eventually found ourselves at Ulysses Folk House (always a good go-to down in these parts) thawing with beer, nachos, fries, and steak sandwiches. The place soon filled up a bit more with other shelter seekers. Not such a bad way to deal with the storm, after all!

Cozy and quaint, ain't it? Lemme tell you, it doesn't look this way during weeknight happy hours!
so ulysses is one of my favorite places in new york - we've been going to their little 'beer garden' for years for delish nachos and beer, and their unlimited (food not booze) brunch totally rocks. great pics :D
ReplyDeletewow, NY looks so much more interesting and fun than here! x]

ReplyDeleteAh...New York... following your blog makes this city every day more fascinating for me. Great pictures.

ReplyDeleteIt's quite funny reading about blizzards at this time of year, we're heading for 40C (about 104F I think) in the next few days.
Love the first shot, I don't know why I haven't noticed beautiful architectures in financial district while I was in NYC - I'll have to visit again!
