Lower Washington Heights

Turning onto Bway
At 159th St, the bus turns onto Broadway. Here, we look far to the south, but the view of Midtown is blocked by the gentle hills of Hamilton Heights.

Botanica on Bway. Upper Bway street scene.
This section of Broadway is very Hispanic -- and mostly Dominican. Most of the stores cater to the Dominican population, and some sell exotic goods which lend a Carribian flavor to the neighborhood. A typical street scene on Upper Broadway.

Audubon Terrace. Boruca College.
At 155th Street we pass by Audubon Terrace, the home of the Hispanic Society of America, the National Numismatic Society, The American Academy of Arts and Letters and Boricua College. Here's another photo of the complex of buildings at Audubon Terrace.

Church of the Intercession. Church of the Intercession.
Across the street from Audubon Terrace lies the Church of the Intercession. Here's another photo of the Chruch of the Intercession. Can you tell that one photo was taken in the winter, and one in the summer?
