NIGHTLIFE

Hitting the hay while the ladies enjoy their night out near Bleecker Street.

SOUTH SEAPORT

Met Cara after work on a hot and sultry summer evening at the South Seaport Music Festival to catch the second to the last free show of the summer, Camera Obscura. We watched a handful of tunes and headed for a walk along the shoreline to see the illuminated Brooklyn Bridge and to check out the course, where in a couple of weeks I’ll be racing from the Manhattan side for the second-annual Brooklyn Bridge Swim, departing from this little stretch of sand in the bottom photo, and into the muck that is the East River. Floating condoms and all.

SOHO AT NIGHT (AND A BIT OF THE EAST SIDE)

Had an hour to use before dinner. The temptation to shop was overcome by the realization of how permissive that instinct can be, so I wandered.
