Some canvasses just have that magical quality to them. This is one of them.

This is a wonderful print and brings back many memories from my time in NYC, thank you.

It's the corner shop which most attracts my gaze. No namby-pamby worries about cigars then.
Nice car too.
Can you tell us which church is depicted?

The church is that of St. Veronica, which is still there, and open, today.

The elevated train, however, is now gone but the entrance to 'Hudson Tunnels' is now the entry to the PATH train (Port Authority Trans-Hudson).

"No namby-pamby worries about cigars then."

True not then. But now all of Christopher Street is namby-pamby...just go there some day and ask to meet Dorothy...

St. Veronica's is, alas, scheduled for reduction to a mission (and closure?) the last I heard.
