As I have mentioned previously today yours truly took a sojourn in Queens. It was in Long Island City that I stumbled upon “The Sex Room”.

For reasons which require no explanation, I had to go inside…

and the joke was on me! So it goes. Without further ado follows is a slide show of highlights from this location.

As always you can see these images in larger format by clicking here.

Spotted In Long Island City: Something Neat

November 15, 2010 ·

Today, dear readers, I could not resist stepping away from the keyboard and stepping out into the industrial hinterlands of southwestern Queens. This is something I have been meaning to do for sometime as I always find something interesting and unexpected. This morning was no different.

It was at the entrance of the footbridge under the Queens Midtown Expressway that I stumbled upon a garden.

The Footbridge Garden, to be precise.

Here are some marigolds.

As I continued exploring I quickly learned I was not alone. This bee was enjoying a little breakfast…

and it would appear this urban oasis is presided over by a custodian of the four-legged variety.

Make that a very well fed custodian of the four-legged variety! Those are some damned nice dishes. I wonder if he (she?) got them at Ikea?
