First impressions
Outside Schatzie Prime Meats on Broadway just up from 101st Street
Looking up Broadway from the corner of 102nd Street. Our hotel is at the centre of this photo
Cropped out of the previous image. The Marrakech Hotel at 2588 Broadway on the corner of 103rd street. I assume the hotel occupies all four of the upper floors of this building and there is no elevator! Fortunately we were on what the Americans call the second floor.
Cathedral Church of St John the Divine
Just south of the cathedral: the
Peace_Fountain by Greg Wyatt in the West 111th Street People's Garden
New York delights in superlatives. This claims to be the biggest Anglican cathedral in the world.
The choir parapet of notable figures from each century since the birth of Christ here we see, from right to left: 14xx Christopher Columbus, 15xx Galileo, 16xx Shakespeare, 17xx George Washington and 18xx Abraham Lincoln. The parapet was installed in 1922 and they left the last niche empty until the century had ended.
When that happened, they could not agree on a single person so they gave us this interesting quartet: Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein,
Susan B. Anthony (American social reformer and women's rights activist born into a Quaker family) and Mohandas Gandhi.
