I've been mostly using Facebook for posting pictures of stuff, just because it's so convenient. At some point I'll scrape the shots out of there and host a standalone gallery.</p> Hey Terrill, I’ve got a couple articles in the works, but mostly about non-NY stuff.

This place is pretty quiet lately. I’d like to hear more about NYC.

Although avenues and streets are usually one way, its easy to know which ones are going the <em>right</em> way. Remember that generally, odd numbers go up and west -- avenues and streets respectively -- and even numbers go down and east, so in heavy traffic, you might skim a buck or two of your trip if you take a cab from a corner that makes sense for your destination. This is also great to remember if you ever plan on (gasp) driving in the city.</p> “Take cabs uptown and downtown, not cross-town.”

Congratulations on your NYC/Google co-op.</p> <p>I can't wait to get back there again on vacation (I don't do tropical). If you haven't already done it I would avoid the Empire States Building, when I was there it was a ridiculous wait for an overcrowded roof that was pretty anti-climatic. The construction on the upper floors made the process very harrowing and long. You're probably better off taking a helicopter tour which I think would be much more fun (though expensive).</p> I love Manhattan! Congratulations on your NYC/Google co-op.
