When I left the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) I walked back to the Court Street Subway. On the way, I walked through the Cadman Plaza Park...
It's a large open field surrounded by wide walkways with plenty of benches for sitting. As a matter of fact, I have found that there's an abundance of benches in all the parks in the city. A nice bonus.
Leaving the Cadman Plaza Park and crossing Tillary Street, I entered the Korean War Veterans Plaza...
At the other end of this plaza I crossed into the King's County Supreme Court plaza area. It's a large open space and hosts a farmer's market with tons of vendors twice a week in the spring, summer and fall seasons. The subway entrance is also in this area.
BOOKS
I did run across a sale at Powerhouse books and picked up a couple, extremely cheap, like $2 & $5.
Today, I went up to the Bronx for lunch and on the way back I stopped at Union Square and walked around. Of course, I had to check out my favorite store...The Strand Bookstore. They had a giant sale going on. I counted over a dozen large book cart on the sidewalk full of really cheap books,..$1 of $2 each.
Needless to say, I did pick up a couple...
ART CHALLENGE TAGS
I haven't posted any of my art challenge tags from last week. The theme was to use something you purchased but haven't used. I had a lot of stickers, etc. so that'a what I used. I had so many left over that I am giving them away. I really don't use them at all, so I thought that it was a good idea to give them to someone who will. Here are the tags...
Well, with the five miles I walked on Tuesday and the four miles today, I have nine miles so far. Only three left to go and I will get them in on Saturday. I also climbed 16 floors...gotta love those subway stairs!!!
Thanks for dropping in...
Talk to you later...
