Wijnanda Deroo: Inside New York Eateries "Continuing her long-term exploration of the architectural interior as a genre of photographic investigation, artist Wijnanda Deroo has scoured New York's five boroughs documenting the full spectrum of the city's culinary institutions. From Café des Artistes to Papaya Dog, the Russian Tea Room to Yonah Schimmel's Knishes, Deroo's viewfinder alights on diverse sites (and sights) where we New Yorkers sit (or stand) to consume our daily bread."

I've lived in NYC since 1999, and I can't find anything to complain about in that series.

That's about as high a compliment as I can pay.

Great stuff.

Now I'm hungry.

Ugh, Flash galleries. (It's 2011! Why is this still happening?)

Here are, presumably, some of the same images that are behind the Flash crapwall. I love how evocative these are. Deroo really knows how to capture the New Yorkness of these spaces -- a collection of qualities that I'm at a loss to put into words.
