Photo of the Day: Taste of Times Square, NYC

With the onset of warmer weather—and particularly (one hopes) with the abatement of spring rains—there are going to be more outdoor food festivals in the months ahead. I stumbled across one on the way back from work in the Big Apple on Monday night: Taste of Times Square, an annual outdoor event.

I couldn’t linger, because I had to catch a bus home and I would need to eat till my sides burst to make festival tickets worthwhile. So I feasted vicariously, by taking pictures like this one booth at the event.

There were more than food and non-food merchants at the two-day Ninth Avenue International Food Festival (the subject of my post yesterday) this weekend. Also present were street performers, including the fellow I caught in this photo, on stilts.

This afternoon, on my way to an Off-Broadway play, I came across the Ninth Avenue International Food Festival, stretching from 42^nd to 57^th Streets in Manhattan. Though the focus was, of course, on food, it provided people with an opportunity to sample the wares of all kinds of merchants from Ninth Avenue and Hell’s Kitchen, including this hat dealer.
