Speaking of restaurants... I had this idea for a photo project: Take a picture of every bar/restaurant in NYC with a canopy. Something about a canopy makes even the most humdrum joint seem a little more classy...maybe even a touch of old New York. It was going well the first few minutes until I walked by the McDonald's on Third Avenue near St. Mark's -- the one with the canopy...
Anyway, here's a sampling of the project so far... only a few hundred more to go! (And if you have suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments...)
