Jim,
You would not recognize the place. There is one restaurant, pub, store, etc., after another. All small scale, all very friendly and appealing. All with loads of character. Everyone was friendly and very helpful, as I walked over the bridge through the factory section until I finally found the piers. (Seriously, did about 5 miles on foot). The streets are winding, very confusing. Everyone I asked was eager to help / guide me. Felt like Alice in Wonderland stepping into another world as in Manhattan no one would give you the time of day. ..... Lilia
Wow. They really remade the area. There was a fun restaurant/pub up the street. We shot part of a pilot I was working on there (Six Degrees). Still there?
Cannot believe I did not take a better shot of the iconic 75 year old Pepsi sign.
Jim, you will see a prettier place than when you last visited. There was major reconstruction of this area with 4 long piers and parkland giving better viewing area. Will have to re-visit on a sunnier day.

Spent a few quiet hours here looking at NYC. Such a difference!
Am enjoying viewing your beautiful photos of Italy, reliving great memories. I made many trips there. You chose well.
