Walked around NYC some more today. Decided to start putting a very small watermark.

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.

I think you can buy these?

As seen from Smash Brothers, etc!

This guy is a Nintendo legend. Created Mario and many, many Nintendo brands.

This is the backside of the protesters.

The front side. Haha “Conando”

I didn’t go up to the top of the rock. Maybe one of these days? Also, I didn’t go ice skating today.

It looks fun.

I think this is on 5th Ave, and I know it’s near 30 Rock. Pretty impressive.

The texture / over-design elements interest me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day everyone! 125st was the subway exit with the Apollo theater nearby.

Around the evening, the Wall Street area was pretty deserted (for NY). Then again, today was a “holiday.”

This was right by Ground Zero.

These photos were mostly taken with the EF-S 17-55. At night, some were with the EF 50.
