Broadway Avenue in Flatiron District, NYC

I love Google almost as much as I love New York City.

Like jaunty dashes drawn on with a bevelled marker, I was charmed by the way this splash of blue enlivens this otherwise monochromatic scene. This also displays my love of shooting contrasting textures and spaces that reveal evidence of past lives.

I knew I had shot this during an excursion to New York City, and I was pretty sure it was during the trip that included an inspiring walk through Greenwich Village, SoHo, and East Village.

To further narrow it down, I studied the plum-coloured banners and Googled "Wined Up New York City". Now I've got my address: you are currently looking at a photograph of 913 Broadway.

But wait - there is another business visible here. Going by the window text under the bold blue awnings that caught my attention to begin with, I Googled "MDE New York City". Less luck on this one. Or wait, maybe it's mdc. "MDC New York City". Bingo! You are also looking at a photograph of 909 Broadway. 

I didn't patronize either of these businesses while I was in the Flatiron District, but it was a fun exercise!
