My first job in the city. The family and friends and raised New York Megan. Also very good coffee. And lovely neighbors.

This outpost of Seattle coffee is an excellent place to get your morning cappuccino, afternoon macchiato, or just some beans to take home. I lived in Seattle for 6 years before moving to New York and at first I was afraid the coffee here wouldn’t measure up, but lucky for me there are plenty of great places. Picking a favorite wasn’t easy!

When I have a bit of money I like to go there with friends to celebrate our happiness and miseries.

Delicious soft scrambled egg, cracked pepper and speck for breakfast or lunch :-)

I have been watching this house deteriorating and transforming for years. I shot this last summer and was completely captivated with how many shades of luminous green vines had taken it over. If you want to see this house you better go quickly---it is supposed to be demolished by March 1 2012.
