coney island...is the world + wd~50

Yesterday was a pretty major day: yesterday Joe got on a plane and said goodbye after his last NY visit ever. That's not to say we won't be back together many (many) times in the years to come, but this past weekend was his last visit while I am living here. It was the last time we'd share the bed in my Alphabet City apartment, and while there is something really wonderful about not having to do this hello-goodbye dance, there is also something a bit sad. Each visit has been an adventure, for him and for me. This last one was no exception.

Its finally hit. Summer, that unforgiveable season in New York where the heat often gets unbearable and you are forced to take shelter in whatever air conditioned space you can. But before true New York summer hits, you get  a wonderful taste of late spring, a time of 20 degree days and cooler nights that actually make frolicking in the city something that's easy to do. Here are some pictures from early June, a time when the weather was (mostly) forgiving and fun times were had.
