Lower East Side, Delancey Street at Allen

X
Luka and I had plans.  We would meet at the 2nd Avenue subway stop on the Lower East Side, and do a photowalk down Chrystie Street to Delancey. Turn on Delancey and walk to Orchard to the Tenement Museum, and take a tour, if possible.

We did meet at the appointed time, having arrived on the same train, but it was raining on Chrystie Street and so there was no photowalk on Chrystie Street.  Then we didn't want to take the last tour of the day, which is all that remained at the Tenement Museum, and so we took no tour.  What to do?  You already know the answer.  Find a restaurant.

And so we did.  This is White Slab Palace, this shot taken on our way out.  We had arrived around 4 p.m. when it was almost empty and the doors and windows were closed, and there were no yellow notices on the doors.  This is the Delancey side.

And this is the Allen Street Side.

Glad you (finally) made it to the LES! You will be my eyes and ears (and mouth) and will find, I hope, some interesting and good eating places that I will then try out. Trouble is, your photos sometimes improve, vastly, the look of things (i.e., this shot of Allen Street). No trouble at all, really.

Okay, Mary 2, I'm taking this as a mandate! And deducting my restaurant bills as a business expense. Thanks for your comment. Do you live nearby?
