After Dean & Delucas, we wandered north west through the back streets of Soho. Here's the map, continued from yesterday.
There's was a street fashion shoot by a very pregnant photographer.
A cute shop with locals out the front.
Crazy New York colours.
And weird old taxis.
We walked up 6th Ave to Blecker st, which we had marked as having a couple of good food shops.
Blecker st
We walked to the end of Blecker at 8th ave, where we found one of the Magnolia bakeries that are dotted around the city. It wasn't very photogenic, so we turned around and headed towards Buvette, which was a lot more photogenic. And had a lovely cool ice coffee.
We paused for a sit at Sir Winston Churchill Square, which was on the corner of Downing st and 6th Ave. and was 0.05 acres in size. Almost all the parks and squares that we saw had their size on the information board.
We walked up MacDougal st towards Washington Square Park. There were lots of interesting shops along the street under the trees.
There is a church opposite the park with an encompassing ad on the wall.
The park had a miniature of the L'Arc de Triomphe which celebrated the centennial of George Washington's inauguration. More importantly, for some people, it marked the start of Fifth Ave.
