Today the locals reclaimed the streets for the St. Marks Place block party where street was shut down to make way for BBQs, fire hydrants, dodgeball, a Meat Pie eating contest (yes as in the Aussie meat pie) and local music artists.

day 23: frankie and his pimp bike

Nat Ma — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:03:16 +0000

Today I met Frankie. Frankie has a custom bike that he spent 8 months creating. He tells me he parades it all round the neigbourhood because it’s his pride and joy. It’s fully equipped with a car stereo blasting Latino music, a police siren to warn people to get out of his way (or to let them know he’s coming) and a cooler to chill those popsicles. Pretty pimp I say.

day 19: the key lady

I came across this lady on the street in East Village. I thought she was a bit of nutter but she assures me she’s not. She tells me she looks after all the buildings in the neigbourhood. Never assume anything in NYC!
