A few odd things around NYC

I was inspired by Nick and LevysUniqueNY on Twitter to write a post about some odd signs and sights I've spotted around the city. Some I see every day, some I saw a long time ago but never forgot, and some I see on occasion.


Lost sock sign in the Upper East Side on 2nd Avenue & 65th Street
(spotted almost a year ago)


Spotted in front of the Whitney Museum on Madison Avenue
and 75th Street


In the Upper West Side on 74th Street between Central Park West
and Columbus—a street sign that reads "Baxter" in an apartment window


An upside down Pedestrian sign on Spring Street in SoHo


"Pray", written on door handle of an NW subway

Astor Place and EV

One of my favorite places in the city to spend time in other than Union Square and the Flat Iron District/Madison Square Park is Astor Place. Since it is a trendy college neighborhood and on the edge of the East Village, there aren't many skyscrapers or corporate businesses, but there are a few architectural treats!

Building on Lafayette and Astor Place (near 8th street)
