Ok, that expression annoys me, too.. It was just too temping. When I was commuting to college (F.I.T.), I was living in Orange County. Which meant taking NJ transit to Hoboken, then getting the PATH to 33rd St. Hoboken was just on its way to being hipster paradise then. It's a beautiful city, filled with old buildings and an amazing view of NYC.
These photos were taken with a Diana F+. No filters, no editing. Just good old fashioned cheap construction!
This is the doorway to my family's old apartment at 22-24 Leroy St. in Greenwich Village. I have been wanting to take a photo of it for years and had the opportunity recently. The Vespa happened to be in the right place at the right time! My great-grandfather also lived in the building next door, and I grew up visiting. The most memorable feature was a tub in the kitchen which was covered by a plank and disguised as a counter top. You don't see that anymore! I would love to see the inside of these buildings since they've been renovated.
Cafe Wha?... a village staple.
Bruised Apple Books - Used and rare books, cds and vinyl. Trade in your old stuff and get someone else's old stuff... recycle, reuse, reduce!
Window display at Treat Station.
A truly unique store - retro candy, fancy chocolates, milkshakes made on a retro shake machine, toy trains and other fun stuff. You can't lose with a protesting maneki neko in your window.
The Paramount Center for the Arts - Non-profit theater - concerts, comedians, indie and foreign films.
