First stop. Lots of super signs.
More super signs on the way to 8th ave.
42nd street between 7th and 8th ave. This is a great shot because right behind the very short New Victory theatre we can see a high rise office building.
A great shot of 42nd street at 8th ave looking towards 7th. You can really see all the tourist attractions with bright colors and large signs.
A view up 8th ave. Considerably less flashy, and you can see the new development happening two blocks north at 44th.
High rise buildings on 8th ave.
Shubert Alley. The building behind the Shubert Theatre on 45th st. was so tall I couldn't get the whole building into the view. (p.s. I'm sad that Spamalot is no longer playing)
The Marriot cut through. We almost got hit by a taxi.
View on 45th st. An open lot. Immediately behind it, a very tall building.
The neighborhood becomes residential when heading towards 9th ave.
Anyone need a new apt?
More "residential"-ness. It was really cold out.
The view up 9th ave. WITH SHORT BUILDINGS!!
RESTAURANT ROW!!!!
The first YUM YUM was down the block.
The most ornate restaurant on the block. Russian, of course.
One of the few non-restaurants on Restaurant Row.
Alyssa and I really liked Restaurant Row. Don't be judgemental.
End of Restaurant Row. A parking lot with towers in the background.
Back at the bow-tie.
First floor usage for store-fronts.
6th ave is full of office buildings.
And more office buildings.
Added bonus: the Scottish day parade.
Heading back to 7th ave and the theatre usage of buildings. And a line to get in.
More theatres going down the block.
Last photo, back at the heart of Times Sq. (We pretended to be tourists and asked for someone to take the picture in Italian)
