\nKeeping with the unfriendly reputation of NYC, there are no benches on the streets, and the city makes sure nobody sits on the hydrants either:

<\/p>\n
\nShouldn’t her psychic powers have corrected the spelling error?:

\nA place of pilgrimage, the Dakota building on W 72nd Street where John Lennon lived and where he died, shot by a madman. There are no plaques or anything, but everyone knows the place and it is necessary to have the guard outside:

\nThis one is a bit further away, in Villajoyosa, but it has an excellent beer selection and a makeshift caf\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9 outside. A customer and his dog are enjoying a mid-morning snack:
