My Favorite Movie Scene, Today

Some People of New York

This batch of pictures were taken in and around Bryant Park (behind the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue).  When I worked there thirty odd years ago, this was a place to be avoided... now it's one of the most inviting parts of Manhattan.
