The city was abuzz with colour and hungry crowds on Thursday evening to celebrate the launch of 140 Comes Alive. Aimee works in the 140 William St. building, how she deals with so many temptations on street level I can't imagine! Let's begin at the beginning and what better way to begin than chocolate.. it keeps me calm :) Interesting to see that as chilly as the weather gets in the evening in winter there is still the odd tee shirt amongst the coats and scarves..
Then into American style NYC diner East Village for a super delicious cheeseburger.. btw it's not as big as it looks :)
What the Flip! and Ribs & Burgers...
Not sure why but this was my own fav shot for the night.. Wassup Dog, one of the pavement food trucks cooking up a storm.. All this was and is going on around 140 William, pretty cool right! Bon weekend, take care and stay safe...
Your burger looks huge, Grace! Looks like it will be a busy place.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a sinful walk!!
ReplyDeleteMy cholesterol shot up just looking at that burger and fries. I like the look of the place too. The area looks like it has a good "vibe" to it which is what the promotion was intended for I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting plac!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like loads of fun there. Why did you let that drink machine get in front of the woman in East Village? You've got to move!
ReplyDeleteLooks very buzzy. And it's making me hungry...
ReplyDeleteYou were buzzing like a bee! More delights from Perth. What a city! Love the photos and how you interspersed the b&w and color. Great fun!
ReplyDeleteIf I worked in that building, I'd weigh about 600 pounds! How does Aimee resist temptation?
ReplyDeleteWith great difficulty!!
DeleteOh, Grace, you have me wanting to move to Perth right now!!! What a fun, beautiful place!! At least we have your terrific captures and they're the next best thing to being there in person!! Thanks as always for sharing the fun and the beauty!! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, that hamburger looks like just the right size for supper right this minute! Thankfully, I don't work there!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a busy place, Grace!
ReplyDeleteWhat?! No salad? Outrageous! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour Winter is to my approval. And, yes it seems a busy place.
ReplyDeleteLooks like quite the grand opening celebration. That cheeseburger looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteSo vibrant, Grace!

For me, they're all my favorites! I always enjoy seeing folks out and about, especially in areas I've never been. How fun, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great area, save me one of those burgers and fries...oh and maybe some chocolate as well please...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I already ate dinner before seeing this Grace. It all looks good. I think I need to go have some chocolate now!
ReplyDeleteLovely night photos, Grace. Anyway, I feel good to come back here, visiting.. hehe
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
A series that really tells a story. You can get burgers at plenty of places in the original East Village but, in general, the cuisine tends to be a bit more exotic.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the combined black and white and color photos. Enjoy your week-end.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots Mum - you got much better crowd photos than me!
ReplyDeleteNice and funny place, beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteSchöne Bilder von der Markteinführung. Der Mix von S-W Bildern und Farbe sehr schön und die Bilder von den Burger. :)

Looks as thouogh it is all happening there. LLooks great fun adn lots of eat. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so inspiring. I'm glad I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteAlthough everybody looks winterly dressed, many are going out for a great night.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are enticing me to pack and move to Perth. Only problem is it is just as hot and humid as here -- during the opposite half of the year.
ReplyDelete140 William street is looking fabulous. Lovely night shots too Grace.
ReplyDeleteI'll also be a bit "heavier" if I worked next to all those great restaurants!
Come alive, I guess so! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a lot of fun and great photos as always. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteAm I glad I only have an ALDI and a not-so-yummy bakery where I work!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Grace!
That sandwich has my name on it. Right?
ReplyDeleteI really like the atmosphere and the food looks great!
ReplyDeleteGrace, you have beautifully captured the vibrancy of Perth's urban night life with it's great color and reflections. Remember, chocolate, in moderation, is good for you. I didn't know that Aimee was your daughter until this post. I follow her blog also. You are both fine photographers.
ReplyDeleteAlways seems to be so much going on in Perth! What fun!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, Grace, I feel like I'm there!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time! Now I'm starting to get hungry. Nice shots!
ReplyDeletelol, I would love to see the first image as combined sketch and color. Would look fantastic :)
