Urban Path

I made a new home for a little plant.

Then I forged a path and made notes (first mental, then digital), especially on places to return.
       
I walked east along 10th St., starting on 7th Ave.  Two rules: no photos, so as not to simply capture and scurry on, as I tend to do; second, no purchases.

This is what I saw:
- Jefferson Market Garden - open all days except Monday, from 12-6pm
- children playing in a schoolyard - one with a mohawk, another with a suitcase
- my old NYU dorm Rubin Hall and its cafeteria marketing campaign whose posters allude to its unique ambience
- Brooke Shields and 2 children
- exquisite wooden carvings on the facade of NYU's Center for Jewish Life
- a 1940s reenactment being filmed for a Capital One commerical
- a leafy plant whose foliage was green on top and purple on its belly
- Quintessence raw food restaurant
- La Plaza Cultural, another fenced-in garden on Ave C just below 9th St - open 12-5pm on weekend April - end of October
