My walk to work in NYC
For the past 12 years, I've had the privilege of being able to walk to work. My commute is pretty much going across 23rd Street from the East River almost all the way to the Hudson River. It's about 1.75 miles, and walking is sometimes faster than taking the crosstown bus!
This is the former School for the Deaf, now the American Sign Language School, open to all students.
An old movie theatre. 
The George Washington hotel, now a dorm.
The Chrysler building. 
The Met Life building.
The Flatiron building as seen from the middle of the street. 
An old Western Union building, now condos.
The top of the New York Life building. 
The famous Chelsea Hotel.
The Empire State Building as seen from the roof of FIT.
Standard equipment on all NYC buildings--fire escapes and water tanks. The tanks really help with the water pressure in high rise buildings, but when we had the massive blackout a few years back, I had no water in my apartment since there was no power for the pumps. No water was way worse than no electricity in the heat wave!
The new Frank Gehry IAC building
This building is not too far from where I work. I'm not a fan of it (it's supposed to be sails in the wind, but I think it looks like an iceberg), but I find his sketch and the framework of the building to be rather interesting. These are not my photos.

Other boroughs
A great photo (not mine) of the Parachute jump at Coney Island. Lots of geometry in this!

A shelf fungus in a SI park.
Cat in a box. Kind of Dali-esque, no?
