I told you about the "Only-In-New-York" vs. the "Obviously-In-New-York" portraits. I have presented an example of the first type, now is time for the second one!
When thinking about New York, you can't skip the Fifth... to me the most "complete" avenue of New York! Delimited South by the Washington Square Park and North by the Harlem River, it is at the heart of New York. From the NYU to the Upper East Side and East Harlem, it borders so many Luxury Stores (Saks, Bergdorf Goodman, etc.), so many Showroom Stores (Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgari, etc.), so many icon buildings (The Empire State Building, The Rockefeller Center, The Saint Patrick Cathedral, The Flat Iron Building, etc.), and of course Central Park, the Museum Mile (The Met, The Guggenheim, etc.), etc. It is a residential, commercial, intellectual, urbanistic, and architectural world reference. Last but not least, it is also the most expensive street in the world (Forbes).
Anyway, with all that said, it is an avenue where you expect to find lots of traffic and a lot of persons. As for Eric, it was the avenue in the middle of which he decided to pose for a few souvenirs...
