37th st / 38th st

4.66 miles

the sights of a dark grey walk (it is hazy today because of the wildfires on the west): laundry exhaust; views of grand central; pacific trimming; a strip of asian restaurants; a string of salad restaurants; a dress code policy: no timbs, no uggs; hair going silver from gold; a granny asking where she can find coffee; the morgan library and museum; brownstone stoop sitting, staring; a bridal and prom dress store; a droopy mustache; chashama artist space; a little child holding a happy meal; a white man with a hat embroidered with 제고, speaking korean to his kids; 1804 books; the scent of central park horses, but on the far east side; pollution.

this is the garment district; who knew that these streets were lined with so many fabric and thread shops?

two pieces of wisdom: park street is fourth avenue, and p-a-r-k is four letters. apple stores are free bathrooms, just walk confidently to the back.
