The arch at Washington Square Park at night. Parks are generally to be avoided at night; luckily, this one is touristy enough and close enough to NYU to still be accessible, at least for a little while.

I'm really one of the many gardens in the city scored this name.

Rockefeller Plaza, looking towards(ish) where the tree will go and down to where the skating rink will be.

Up at the buildings from Bryant Park (we were checking out a free concert from Carnegie Hall)

Some more buildings from Bryant Park. Since it's in Midtown on Fifth Avenue, it's in a pretty good neighborhood for architecture-gazing.
Hey! That's me!

A garden in Central Park
Sunset doesn't photograph well, but it was pretty. This was Sunday at Harlem Meer (I'm not sure what the difference is between a meer and a pond, but this happens to be in the Harlemish corner of the Park).
There was a parade of kids in costumes, a pumpkin sail, spooky stories. We (Me, Katie, Brittany) really wanted to participate, but as none of us has a kid we were really wishing there were a way to rent or borrow a kid for a day. Then we all remembered babysitting.
Central Park from the top of Belvedere Castle (which also happens to be where the weather information about NYC is gathered)
A part of the Park where the skyline actually disappears for a little bit - kind of hidden, but if it wasn't, it'd be just like the rest of the park, wouldn't it?
We've had a lot of beautiful days lately - in between all the crummy ones, that is.
From the Jackie O Resevoir
These pictures are kind of out of order and I don't feel like going back to fix them, so this is from the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (which I love, plus it's a free will donation)
St. Patrick's in Midtown - this has more services than any three other services
A pond area in Central Park where those with disposable income can rent boats and...row. I got to practice a little waterfront skills with some tourists trying a tricky maneuver one day.
The view out from the Natural History Museum
And the view in. Just don't ask where Sacajawea is ("Only in the movie" as we were told in case you're wondering).
Central Park
I'm a little backlogged on pictures (many acquired from others as my camera completely died). You can kind of tell by the variation in the tree colors that these span a pretty large period of time. Oops. More to come.
