For the first time in many years, we left our place and simply walked north on Broadway. We've always been out and about in the city, but it's different when the journey itself is the destination and you can focus more on the streets. There are too many vacant storefronts, though the situation gets better in Soho north of Canal Street (after navigating through the street vendors). We missed the quirky department stores like Canal Jean or Daffy's, but they've long given way to brand-name shops. There were also lots of people — it's nice to see that shopping on a Saturday remains popular. Check out the photos from the Hipstamatic photowalk here.
