T-Shirt #126: New York

T-Shirt #126: New York: Open 24 Hours

I lived in New York for a few months in 1985 while doing a college internship.

I lived on 46th street just off Broadway part of the time and on a boat on the Hudson River's 79th Street Boat Basin.

I worked at Marvel Comics. More to come about that experience.


The time I spent in New York forever changed me and my sense of identity.


I have been back many times to visit. More on the subject of New York in future entries as I have more than one T-shirt featuring the grand old Big Apple of Manhattan.

Grading robot is in full swing, so this one is short.

Ten great things about New York.

Not even the ten best things or my ten favourite things.

Just ten things, off the top of my head,

which you can see I have to hang onto in the picture above

or it won't stay sitting on my neck.

1. H&H Bagels - Broadway and 80th something - 83rd?
2. Art Museums - The Whitney, MOMA, the Guggenheim, Brooklyn
3. Tuna and Egg Salad sandwiches at 2 a.m. from the deli
4. The little park I found down Park Avenue by Gramercy
5. The secret door bookcase in the Magical Childe shoppe
6. Ray's Pizza by the Slice
7. Riding at the back or front of the subway train and watching the tunnels
8. Chinatown (just the whole thing basically, but definitely Wo Hop on Mott)
9. The Empire State (so you can always tell where you are)
10. The Village Voice (a good read)

I wish I had a picture of me in New York. Not sure that I do.

New York. It's just one of a few of my favorite things.

WEEKLY COMIC BOOK STACK

Clone from Image Comics--which I am enjoying very much because of the great Juan Jose Ryp art--has fallen into the backlog along with some other comics I usually read every month pretty quickly (like Teen Titans). I expect to catch up with some reading marathons this weekend as I indulge in some quality time.

Aquaman continues to hold the top spot in its week. More interesting is how many slots Captain America jumps after I wrote T-shirt #106. Everything else holds pretty close to its previous position. I do prefer New Avengers, but I think it's been over a month since it came out as it was not released on June 24th according to T-shirt #99.
