New 'Yock' City: The Very Trendy Ant Hill

Hey all. Does NYC count as a different place? This country is so big and varying i say it does. Plus i've got some amusing pictures from when i went.

This was from John Lennon's memorial in central park and there was this old hippie man singing beatles songs really well- surrounded by fellow beatles lovers, twas lovely.
Hehe, this one is good with kou and the... well, here: Kawaii, ne? It was at Moma [Museum of Modern Art] which had a lot of interesting stuff- some of which i wouldn't consider art- there seems to be a very fine line which is relative to personal taste. Considering what art started out as, i say it's split into two different means of expression. Not that one is worse than the other, just...different.
The next bunch i took on my phone so the quality won't be too great, it works if you use your imagination. This is of some street sign
that says "Rabbi Yaakov Spiegel Way. Ahh, New York. Heeehe, the next one is my favourite. It was on a garage door or something in the Lower East Side, and made me laugh so it's now the background on my phone:
It was kind of odd to me that the lower east side differs so much from say...greenwich village, but they're both on the same very small island. It all has to do with history and geography of course. I couldn't decide if i really liked NYC or was disgusted by it. The part of me that looks at everything as it is on the surface loved it, but then the side of me that sees cities the "bad" way was revolted. Just the mass production of...stuff, made me a little sickened, along with the fact that almost none of it was made in or by materials found in New York. The phantom land for that place must be horribly massive. Albeit many good things come out of there too, especially concerning the US economy. I'll save this all for a later conversation.
Let's see...oh, then we went to Philidelphia and stumbled upon a market on our quest for Phili cheese steaks [which i did not partake in] but this was amusing:
Pigs feet, oishiii ne. And then there were the olives. They looked so good i wanted to dive in, mmm:

They had all kinds of things in that store, the only things i would have eaten were olives though, well, and some of the sea food.
In general, a good trip.
