A few that I liked from yesterday with quick edits for the net.

I met Emile Griffith at Rudy's Bar and Grill with his son Louis. He was one of if not the greatest Welter Weight Boxers in his time. He also holds the world record for The Most Championships Rounds Fought. He's also know for killing a man (Benny "Kid" Paret) in the ring back in 1962, which changed boxing for a while. Read the story through that attached link. A real nice gent, I was happy to hang with him, share a story and a few beers.

I'm not sure which I like better this one or the one above....? Any thoughts? (the first was quickly pp'ed)

The guy to the right gets "The Samuel L Jackson Look-Alike Award" hands down.

Bump from this morning...please look at the first few images and maybe read the story (link) of Emile Griffith.

Here are a few from today...
I started in Chinatown and made my way to Greenwich Village.

The girl putting on the make-up appeared to be homless since she was surrounded by a life time of bags and a lotta junk.
