On this side of the door there’s a police sticker and a No Trespassing sign. Okay, but it’s what’s on the other side that I’m curious about.

Work on Dumbo park

Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo was hot, off-and-on sunny, and smelled like low tide, so I walked north and was happy to see that another section of the waterfront will be accessible before too long. This construction site is neater and cleaner than many NY kitchens I’ve been in. A Circle Line boat is visible going down the river.
Wedding party by the bridge

Fulton Ferry Landing, with its postcards-from-NYC views, is a favorite spot for wedding photography. On Saturday, two wedding groups were circling the area, waiting to take the stage. Everyone else nearby was wearing winter coats because it was in the 40’s and breezy.
New Year’s Day: the show

Happy New Year! At St. Ann’s Warehouse, in Dumbo, they are putting on a marvelous show, Brief Encounter. It’s multi-media and musical, not as serious as the movie and the run has been extended to mid-January. I even liked the magenta curtain; it’s a good photo for New Year’s Day…what will 2010 bring?
The last smokestack

It’s funny, the things people get sentimental about. There used to be five Con Ed smokestacks in Vinegar Hill; now there are two (I think). They look okay from a distance – not totally unphotogenic, but not necessarily lovable. Vinegar Hill is a small area wedged between the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Corcoran Realty and others are trying to extend DUMBO’s development a few blocks north, so it’s all symbolic: keep the industrial past and there will be fewer condos, more old-time neighborhood flavor.
Free postcard of Manhattan Bridge

Print this picture, carefully snip it out, and send to an out-of-town friend or acquaintance who thinks the Brooklyn Bridge is the only above-ground link between Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Manhattan Bridge, a suspension bridge that crosses the East River and connects Canal Street and Flatbush Avenue Extension, opened to traffic in 1909. The bridge has four auto lanes, split between two levels, four subway tracks, and paths for pedestrians and bike riders.
I thought I’d found a place for Manhattan Bridge enthusiasts to gather, but it turns out the Manhattan Bridge Club is more concerned with cards than bridges.
