Night View near the Dakota

Tuesday night was not so much cold as it was rainy. The damp weather sent people scampering for cover.

This was the view near the Dakota (at right), a landmark building on the Upper West Side. This building is known for being the home of many celebrities, including the late John Lennon, and having been the setting of the movie 'Rosemary's Baby'. The West 72nd Street subway station nestles up alongside the building facade.

As you can see, the sidewalks are suprisingly tidy. The sidewalks vary greatly, depending on where you are in the city.
