Forsyth St Between Grand St and Broome St

Today's photos were taken by my good friend Shalimar Luis. Please be sure to visit her website, which is full of her amazing artwork ranging from illustrations and painting to typography and graphic design.

A sister to Chrystie Street across Sara Roosevelt Park, Forsyth is a long mixed stretch of industrial, commercial and a dash of residential (sounds like a Sim City layout). While the park makes it feel a bit different than you'd expect, there's no mistaking that this is still Chinatown. The assortment of groceries for sale make that abundantly clear. 

The park itself is a great mixture of sports, art, and just plain-old sitting around. The narrowness of the park, especially when it's right up next to the street, can make it rather hard to get around sometimes- but as long as you keep to one side or the other, you'll be ok.
