The FALCON and his LUNCH

He actually resides on the tower of the Majestic Apartments……..

but he sits on my terrace to enjoy his lunch.

I call him FREDDY the FEROCIOUS

I call him FREDDY the FEROCIOUS.

POOR PIGEON…………Freddy has NO manners………..leaves the mess behind for me to clean up.

I actually prefer my pigeons in a soup that I make with chestnuts.

HALLOWEEN has gone to the dogs !!!

The annual DOGGIE PARADE in Tompkins Square Park………is a barking BOW WOW affair……and New York Doggies strutt their stuff.

Yes, he was my FAVE.

SUNRISE and SUNSET from my Terrace

This afternoon it was a CLOUD wonder……….

THE PRICE of a HOTDOG in NYC

Two bucks will get you a hotdog……………from a HOTDOG cart that has a permit that costs more than $200,000.

Depending  on where you cart is allowed to park………..your monthly rent costs from $20,000 to $60,000 per MONTH.

So….there is a lot of BLACK MARKET dealing with the permits and the parking places.

The number one prized location is in front of the Met Museum……..at ONE HALF MILLION DOLLARS a year.

VEGGIES at the FARMERS MARKET • nyc

These are the FARMERS that I depend on for my fresh produce………[my parents were farmers so I know what back breaking work it is to grow and gather and cart it to market].

I appreciate all of their hard work.

TOMATILLOS

I turn those green tomatillos into a unique SALSA.
