Got to see them bring another beam round the corner, to go in the ground.
Here, the one big yellow thingie from 9th carries a huge iron beam around the corner to 42nd and passes it off to another big yellow thingie who brings it to the guy with the flip-down welding mask. So cool.

Here’s a view of the old and current home of Red Poke, I’m sure their new home (the former fancy chicken finger place) is cheaper than the corner spot.
Tried some new apps at Vivi tea - usually I get the (dark meat) #popcorn #chicken, or the $3 (each!) shrimp tempura, but I tried the gyoza, fried pork #dumplings and they’re a yum.

That new noodle shop next to Cleo’s/ the Ninth Avenue Saloon has closed almost as soon as they opened. They took over from another place and poof new name new menu.
This is 9th just south of 46th. There was a couple behind me (you can see them in reflection) who had wanted to get lunch there, but were seeing the “Closed by health department“ sign for the first time. They were also selling “Paper Steak”.

Midtown construction! This is 42nd at 9th. Shown is 42nd, but there are lanes closed on 9th also, from 43 to 41st.
Especially dangerous for bicyclists heading south on 9th, with no bike lane.

My favorite glasses broke. I have two back up pair left, plus a pair at work.
These did very well, as they’re readers (2s, up from 1.5s* for years) I bought at last Spring’s midtown Manhattan street fairs, about $8 each. I used to be able to find them w spring temples and nose bridge, now only spring temples.
*Note no apostrophe. Apostrophes are for possessive, not plurals.
Almost time for street fairs, so I’ll replenish for ‘26 ~

…and two new candle places(!), I think, didn’t look closely. Vela candle making is 46th near 10th. Fountain House & Body (more than candles?) is 49th on 10th.

Midtown Manhattan update - the optometrist at 48th on 9th is closing. The new Big Wong didn’t last long.
And on 45th closer to 10th, the Subway there closed but seems to be reopening with food of sorts.
