76th St Between York Ave and 1st Ave

With a school and a handful of doctor's offices, this block has quite a bit to offer when compared to its more residential neighbors. While not the most beautiful stretch of buildings by any measure, there is a good deal of variety to enjoy here – wether your tastes are more modern, more industrial, or more classic New York, there's a little bit to enjoy for everyone.

Having only walked down this street a few times before, I was startled to see a large bonze statue adorning the front of one of the newer apartment buildings. Fittingly named The Impala, the statue is of, of course, an impala – which is apparently some sort of antelope. The amount of good taste that goes into the planning and construction of something like that could probably only be measured in units known to microbiologists.
