My favorite block in the city is one I routinely walk along on the way from my apartment to Union Square: West 10th Street between 5th and 6th avenues. It's my favorite mostly for a simple and shallow reason: It's so beautiful in terms of both architecture and greenery. And it feels like home: It's where I would be living now if I'd actually gotten together with that heart surgeon/gourmet chef with inherited Old Money that I was supposed to have met right after I first moved to the city. :-) Oh, and one more thing: hound-dog fence-post statuary!
