New York photo of the day Manhattan. 70°F (21° C), partly cloudy. #NYC #City #Sanitation #Pathfinder #Tugboat #Garbage #Barge #Waste #EastRiver #HighTide ⛴️

Late afternoon scene at a tidal estuary in an insular City, facing across the water at a municipal waste management facility that packs all the City's runbish into shipping containers which are loaded onto barges and taken somewhere; a large, handsome, red and white tugboat is docked and ready for its next mission; it takes a very big tugboat because the barges are enormous due to the staggering amount of trash this City produces; a giant loading gantry on the platfprm pier has the words "NYC Sanitation" painted on its arms; the waters are high but quite calm and the sky in the distance is clear and slightly dimmed in preparation for Saturday night.

Better with canned tuna but, no matter the protein, make it with regular mac n cheese because it is only $0.79 cents. Poverty meals are an art form.

New York photo of the day Manhattan. 82°F (28° C), partly cloudy. #NYC #City #Spoky #October #Vibe #TGIF #UES #Flock #Birds #Omen 🐦‍⬛

Late afternoon scene near some high-rise residential condominiums in a wealthy neighborhood of a mysterious City, facing upward to where the luxury buildings meet the overcast sky; hundreds of birds are arriving from the other side of the river and congregating on these fancy roofs; it is a dark, spooky vibe.

Hundred percent. Also Citibike is like 250/yr and faster. To be fair though, half of the FDR traffic are Ubers going to and from LGA. A lot of the rest live outside the City. But youre right -- and LIRR/Metro North are also a thing. 🤷‍♂️

New York photo of the day Manhattan. 67°F (19° C), mostly cloudy. #NYC #City #Cycling #Bicycle #Custom #Delivery #Mexico #Frankenstein #E-Bike #Bicicleta 🚲

Daytime scene on a sidewalk in a hard-working City, facing a parked delivery e-bike that is chained to a tree planter; the bright blue bicycle has been heavily and beautifully customized with pink accents, mudflaps and stickers representing Mexico, and heavy-duty shock absorbers; the bike has an oversized rear cargo rack because it is a delivery vehicle used by one of the City's eighty-thousand delivery workers; there is a cute little Frankenstein plush toy attached to the handlebars; some red, late-summer flowers are in the tree planter, but they will soon wilt away for it is now autumn.

Daytime scene on a sidewalk in a hard-working City, facing a cute little Frankenstein plush toy attached to the handlebars of a customized delivery e-bike that is parked alongside a tree planter near the street; the plush toy has green clothes, luxurious black hair, a stern expression, and a funny little purple nose; an ugly Volvo car is parked in the street in the background.

New York photo of the day Manhattan. 64°F (18° C), cloudy with light rain. #NYC #City #Rain #Travel #Traffic #FDR #Expressway #UES #EastRiver #VanishingPoint #NorEaster 🌧

Daytime scene at a busy expressway overpass in a stormy City during a "nor-easter" storm as cars pass below, heading both north and south; the expressway follows the coastline of one of the City's tidal estuaries and forms one side of the perspective; at tge other side of the expressway, a long row of high-rise, luxury apartment buildings also disappears toward the horizon, combining to form a unique vanishing point; the sky overhead is overcast and lightly raining.

New York photo of the day Manhattan. 70°F (21° C), windy and partly cloudy. #NYC #City #Rainbow #Sunset #SailorsDelight #EastRiver #UES #ViewOfAstoria #Rainbow #Bridge 🌈

Evening scene around the time of sunset in a photogenic City at a riverside park, facing eastward away from the setting sun toward a rainbow in the sky over the neighboring borough across the river; the magnificent and colourful sunset behind the scene is illuminating the eastern sky with tones of pink and orange through some light and scattered clouds.

Evening scene at the time of sunset on a typical residential street block in the eastern part of a photogenic City at a riverside park, facing upward the sky which has been painted in deep shades of orange, red, and purple by the setting sun; all down the block, the brick buildings are illuminated in red as they begin to turn on their front door lights; a jumbo airliner, flying low as it approaches one of the City's airports, cuts through the corner of the scene under a canopy of fuchsia clouds.

"Accuses" makes it sound like it is a bad thing.

New York photo of the day Queens. 66°F (19° C), windy and partly cloudy. #NYC #City #Airport #Train #LightRail #AirTrain #JFK #Terminal8 🚈

Daytime, track-level view of an automated light rail "air train" at a busy airport in an international City, as the train pulls away from the station carrying travelers to the next airport terminal; in the foreground, two heavy-duty electrical transformer boxes with yellow nomenclature tags connect to a group of tracks that lead out to the distance of blue skies heavily s streaked with white clouds; the tracks curve up ahead to wrap around the edge of the salt water harbour.

New York photo of the day Manhattan. 66°F (19° C), partly cloudy. #NYC #City #StreetArt #Slaps #Graffiti #Broadway #Sketchy #Risky #Midtown #ATM 🏧

Mid-morning scene on the sidewalk of a famous thoroughfare in a glamorous City, facing a nook between two storefronts -- a deli to the left and a restaurant to the right -- where a nameless, generic, large red ATM machine awaits its next customer; the machine and some of the surrounding wall are completely covered in "slaps," which are custom-made, personalized, street art stickers from artists across the area; there are also a few small gaffiti tags; the neon signs for the deli reflect in the window of the neighboring restaurant and, although it is broad daylight, the surrounding high-rise buildings cast ample shade on the scene; a sign reading "ATM" hangs high above the cash machine; use it at your own risk.

Yes! The Wards Island pedestrian bridge is very pleasant but can be a deceptively steep incline. Great views up there! Technically, Randalls/Wards are still Manhattan, though, so its Manhattan both sides. 😀
