Typical Side Street

This is a typical side street of Morningside Heights. Because of the not-quite north-south alignment of numbered city streets in Manhattan, during the summer our streets get good light. Very few of these townhouses are single-family homes any more, having been either divided up for apartments or taken over by institutions. One of these houses a convent, the Community of the Holy Spirit.
