Looking for a cafe near SOHO, I encountered a gospel group standing and singing in front of J.Crew. As their singing was bright and soulful, I was about to cry. They sing by blood.

This area near Tompkins Square Park on Avenue B in East Village is called Charlie Parker Place. Charlie played his saxophone at Tompkins Square Park, in front of his apartment, even at night. Sometimes, police car came to him. Charlie slept at the park, even though his apartment was in front of this park. His saxophone was taken by a homeless who deceived him. He could not go to work without his saxophone and was fired and lost the job.
