Yorkville Sunset Near the Equinox

Near sunset last night, I strolled up 79th Street then walked north on Fifth Avenue. The near equinox light was other worldly. I found a puddle in front of the Met Museum doing pointillist tricks with the reflection of the buildings on the east side of the avenue.

The quiet streets had few people and cars.

Yorkville walk time.

Cherokee Club Dance at Yorkville Casino in 1944

Below is a photo of the Cherokee Club taken in 1962. Below that are four photos of a Cherokee Club dance at Yorkville Casino on November 22, 1944. Half of Yorkville's in this picture. I never counted, but I'll bet there are more than 2,000 people in that hall, since there's also a balcony loaded with folks.
