New York

New York, May 18-27

I (Astrid) got to got to NY with work (about one of the last people allowed a business trip before the financial clamp-down stopped all non-essential travel). I had been to NY twice before, but now had never been in the city on my own. I set out to find places again I had been to before (Gray's Papaya for Hot dogs; nice Mexican food and I also discovered a very nice Ethepoian food place) and also tried a few new things (Chamber Music at the Metropolitain Museum; 'Obscult NY Walking tour). As I had forgotten to bring a camera, I decided I had to buy one and happened to walk past a LOMO store (this is how I ended up owning my first LOMO camera :)). My hotel was called the Mondrian, a hip/trendy blue place more like a bar than a hotel (that's why I almost didn't find it when the cabbie dropped me off in a deserted backstreet in the rain in the middle of the night) located on Crosby Street (funnily enough the street featured in the film 'Adjustment Bureau' which I happened to watch on the plane). The below foto's are a random collection shot with the LOMO.
