What's gone and what's still there

Last weekend, I visited the Seagram Building and the former World Trade Center Site. One location contains an existing skyscraper frequented only during the weekdays by office people along Park Avenue, while the other is essentially a void visited by people from all over almost every single day... a curious comparison.

Even without the spires, it's huge.

I bought my first New York hotdog by the church steps for one dollar. It was fine, but hotdogs taste the same wherever you go.

The city (and my laundry) beckons...

Central Park has a nice mix of trees and wide open spaces, but I think that the Tiergarten in Berlin is still a better park to enjoy getting lost in :)
