73rd St Between York Ave and 1st Ave

Consisting mostly of old brownstones, this section of 73rd St has a great deal of character, both in terms of grid and grime, and in terms of detailed beauty.

The York Ave side of things is rather imposing with the large Sotherby's building in view and two towering (condo?) high-rises. Both condos, with driveways, fountains and small gardens, constrast greatly to the rest of the block, which is much more humble. I would think the newest feature here is the Ronald McDonald house- which looked more like a high-class hotel than anything else. The small local shops that lined the street (Little Shop of Crafts!) were quaint and blended-in well.
