Baseball fans arriving at the new Citifield Stadium in Queens for the NY Mets v Philadelphia Phillies game

The ball game (the home team won)

Little league in Central Park

I saw surprisingly few supermarkets in New York, but a lot of small privately owned grocers like this one on the Upper West Side.

The John Lennon memorial in Central Park, near where he was shot

Radio City

The fabulous doorway to the library in Brooklyn
