INSTAGRAM TRIBECA (VOL. 19)
This is a departure from the previous Instagram Tribeca roundups in that these were all taken by yours truly. Follow Tribeca Citizen on Instagram! It’s 85% Tribeca, 10% other places, and 5% my dog. If you think you’re not an Instagram person, because you don’t like Facebook or Twitter, you might give it a try. Posting a photo is easier and less loaded than writing something.
