The New York Times travel section brings us a fun photo scavenger hunt this weekend. What are you looking for? Well, "scenes and objects intrinsically New York." The Times gives us a bunch of categories that readers can submit photos for - food, business, transportation, living creatures, and nonedible inanimate objects. In this game that anyone can play (as long as they have a camera), The Times will even take user submitted photos to maybe run in the travel section.
Here are some of the thoughts we have for their challenge:
There are also several that Gothamist is curious about: worst bagel/cream cheese or spread combo, most out-of-town and/or foreign language newspapers at one newsstand, most Starbucks in one picture, most yellow cabs in oneLongest brunch lines: Clinton Street Baking Company
Most expensive slice of pizza (cheese only): either a sports venue (if they sell by the slice) or an airport
Most expensive slice of pizza (with toppings): Fornino's tartufo pizza (though they don't sell slices, so this is cheating)
Most outrageous fee for an ATM withdrawal: we're not sure, but it seems like a strip club would win out here
Most monstrous baby stroller: check Park Slope
Most amusing spelling or translation error: any of the Chinatowns would be a good bet
photo, most unusual piece of refuse, anyone wearing George W. Bush paraphernalia, most dogs with one human.
If you see any of these, feel free to send them to photos@gothamist.com or tag them 'gothamist' on flickr. Or if you don't have a camera, we're curious as to where these things are located anyway.

tien: thanks for including my photo in piece.
is eggs benedict only available in nyc?
I was at the Hustler Club for a bachelor party and the ATM fee was $25. Yes, twenty-five dollars. I did not continue with my transaction
hilarious.. 25 bucks? wow.
im anxious to see the pics that come in.
$25 is cheap for ATM. ATM is gross, but at that price, it's a bargain!
lol @ #5
I'm curious to see the multiple Starbucks pictures--you probably don't even need a wide-angle lens!
I read this yesterday before going out for a walk in my neighborhood in Queens and was so pisssed/amused, because I started noticing all these things that usually just fade into the background. But all was for nought, as I didn't have my camera with me - especially annoying when I saw two people using pay phones next to each other (one of the challenges in the article).
The strip club on W. 23rd, Privleges, also has a $25 ATM fee.
