"Music Under NY"



Oh yeah. You’ve probably seen so many artists performing in NYC train stations. Some of them get actually on the train (distracting you from reading or listening to your own music), and others offer a “mini concert” on the train platform. Well that’s the case of this guy, Peter Joseph Paul and many other bands that play each Saturday and Sunday at 42th St- Times Square. Like many other musical groups, he is a contributor to the "musical culture of New York City" promoted by the MTA. I just think it's nice how the city and the MTA give all these artists an opportunity to show their talent.

Homeless people in NYC.

79th St & Broadway

It's not surprising to find homeless people everywhere in NYC. I particularly feel sorry for this man (picture above) every time I see him on my way to work. I can't believe it! For almost three years I've seen him in the same place. At first I thought nobody cared about his situation, but then I realized about the number of institutions and coalitions dedicated to help people like him. To me it seems like he really wants to live like that, otherwise he could accept pleople's help to have a better life.
