Walked around NYC some more today. Decided to start putting a very small watermark.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

2nd Floor Wii Area<\/p><\/div>\n

The Nintendo Store wasn’t as big as I imagined, just two floors near 30 Rock. There is a Pokemon Center downstairs, in which “center” means aisle against the wall.<\/p>\n

\"Samus<\/a>

Samus Figure<\/p><\/div>\n

I think you can buy these?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Nintendo R.O.B.<\/p><\/div>\n

As seen from Smash Brothers, etc!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

DS signed by Miyamoto<\/p><\/div>\n

This guy is a Nintendo legend. Created Mario and many, many Nintendo brands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

People for COCO in front of NBC<\/p><\/div>\n

This is the backside of the protesters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Pro COCO<\/p><\/div>\n

The front side. Haha “Conando”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

30 Rock<\/p><\/div>\n

I didn’t go up to the top of the rock. Maybe one of these days? Also, I didn’t go ice skating today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

30 Rock Ice Skating<\/p><\/div>\n

It looks fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fifth Ave Statue<\/p><\/div>\n

I think this is on 5th Ave, and I know it’s near 30 Rock. Pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fifth Ave Signage<\/p><\/div>\n

The texture \/ over-design elements interest me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sylvia's<\/p><\/div>\n

Up in Harlem, we have Sylvia’s Soul Food. This was featured on the Food Channel. If I’m not mistaken, the table where I sat had a photo of Reverand Al Sharpton and Sylvia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sylvia's Hot Sauce<\/p><\/div>\n

It was pretty spicy, in a Tabasco kind of way. I didn’t really use it much, because I wanted to savor the food and not just drink hot sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Good Cornbread<\/p><\/div>\n

This was “the bread” that restaurants give you to nibble on before the food arrives. I’m not a cornbread person, but I ate a lot of this because it was good – especially the crust parts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The main entree - fried chicken and sides<\/p><\/div>\n

From top left counter-clockwise: lemonade, fried chicken, baked mac-n-cheese, collard greens, gravy, hot sauce, and cornbread. It was all great except for the collard greens, which had a distinct taste that I’m not sure how to describe because I’m just not used to it. This was my one\/only meal today. The rest of today was spent walking it off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Baked Mac-n-Cheese Close Up<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

125 Street<\/p><\/div>\n

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day everyone! 125st was the subway exit with the Apollo theater nearby.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Brooklyn Bridge<\/p><\/div>\n

Around the evening, the Wall Street area was pretty deserted (for NY). Then again, today was a “holiday.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ground Zero for 9\/11<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Zuccotti Park<\/p><\/div>\n

This was right by Ground Zero.<\/p>\n

These photos were mostly taken with the EF-S 17-55. At night, some were with the EF 50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
