75th St Between Park Ave and Lexington Ave

Anytime one veers towards Park Avenue, you can be pretty certain the type of street you'll encounter. Most often it's a mono-chromatic stretch of condos and apartments with doormen who give you the evil eye when you take a few pictures. This particular block is a bit better than that. 

While there's certainly your normal share of bland stone-front buildings, this block has a bit more variety than I'm used to. There was a very friendly doorman about halfway down the block (I can't remember his name, or what building he worked for) who made some suggestions as to what might be interesting to take some photos off – certainly a breath of fresh air from some of the typical reactions I get.
