--NYC-/ the american metropolis (no 56k)

It's time for another NYC thread from yours truly. In this thread, as in all my threads, I hope I've opened your eyes to what this city has to offer. It's more than just skyscrapers and bridges, with incredibly diverse architectural offerings. We have some tidbits from around Manhattan(Chinatown to Harlem), a lot of Brooklyn(Prospect Park South to Bushwick), spots in Queens(Ridgewood to Flushing), a brief KingoftheHill cameo and even a little Bronx in there. Let me know what you think.

I snuck in for an inferior shot while he was posing for the King. If you ever shoot with KotH, you'll notice he has an amazing rapport with people on the street. His presence puts them at ease.

Do I see a little Cortelyou up in heeyyyaa?!? The whole area between Church and Foster is highly underrated and "unexpected" for Brooklyn. Well done and fantastic thread.

And the people shots are great too. And how do you alert them to the fact that you want to take their picture?
