J is taking a photo course that requires that she take photos of interesting people in interesting places. for years her go to has been NYC, especially SoHo, the Lower East Side and Washington Square Park.
With the summer and warm weather comes an influx of NYC wantabees. So our trip to Washington Sq. yesterday would be characterized as a bust.
There are the usual street performers, a group of black gymnasts/dancers/comedians who have an act that takes over the Square several times a day to banter, coax, and flip for money from visitors to the park. In addition there are the old hippies strumming and singing tunes I'd rather forget. It has come to a guy with a sign asking people to stop by and tell him your story. I guess his talent is listening.
I never thought I'd say this but after months of visiting the park it has become ho, hum.
Thank goodness the Mermaid Parade in never disappoint Coney Island is only 6 days away.
