New York Night

Dunkin Donuts - New York  2018

Gyro House - New York  2018

We had meant to stop in at Dunkin Donuts, but never got around to it.

Bottom photo taken in Greenwich Village . . . note The Bitter End awning in the background.

Both photos taken with a Canon G5X . . . very impressive available light capture!

Mutiny - New York  2018

I felt obligated to take photos of any across-the-street storefronts not being blocked by parked cars. Had to take advantage of whatever opportunities came my way.

"Biedronka is the largest discount supermarket chain in Poland with 2,823 stores in 2017 and 55,000 employees. It is owned by the Portuguese company Jerónimo Martins. The supermarket chain's name translates as "ladybug", with a cartoon ladybug as the company's logo." (Wikipedia)

After a chilly viewing experience atop the Empire State Building we definitely felt that a pastrami sandwich was needed. Very nice.

Observation Deck - New York  2018

9:15 AM: The famous Empire State Building Observation Deck!

For some reason I didn't pack enough warm clothing: this was the first time in the trip that I became aware of that.  But not the last.

The "Freedom Tower" can be seen jutting up above the horizon in the distance. Below, a telephoto view:

Top photo taken from the East River near Brooklyn. Next photo taken looking up as we tried to find the entrance to the observation deck. We were there fairly early, so we missed the lines, which must be quite extensive judging from the guide ropes.

B&H

B&H Panorama - New York  2018

Olympus - New York  2018

Our hotel in New York was just a few blocks from B&H, the camera megastore. Yes, very large!

The upper floor had kiosks dedicated to all the camera manufacturers, with samples available to pick up and fiddle with.

I was interested to see my camera, an Olympus EM1II, outfitted with the professional 12-100mm zoom lens. I haven't been particularly tempted by this particular lens, since the range on my go-to zoom lens is 14-150mm. Not quite as much on the wide end, but it has quite a bit more reach. Of course, the professional lens supposedly has much higher optical quality . . .
