My Afternoon Commute

Last Wednesday I listed some NY landmarks I pass on the express bus route on the way to my office. I'd mentioned that my return trip wasn't as picturesque, but it's not too bad in its own way. I see a few of the same landmarks on the way back:

Central Park , both CP South (where the hansom cabs hang out, and there are fancy hotels like the Essex House) and much of CP West, in addition to the 81st/79th transverse road

Columbus Circle

Lincoln Center, home of the Metropolitan Opera and the NYC Ballet

The Dakota

The Museum of Natural History

Marcus Garvey Park

Yankee Stadium
And there are other cool sights, like:

Bryant Park

A sculpture from Robert Indiana's famous LOVE series at 55th and Sixth (picture here)

The Squadron A Armory ruins

Some attractive religious buildings, like the Park Avenue Synagogue at Madison and 87th and a couple gorgeous churches in East Harlem, Metro Community Methodist and All Saints
Also two Yup Food Emporia, more garish Trump monstrosities than I'd care to count, and probably at least a dozen sushi places. Not a bad commute for the next couple weeks! After which, it's the south Westchester suburbs all the way in my 20-minute car commute, after my workplace moves right around here...
