A Week in Photos (Nov. 2 - 8)

Monday: I wandered up to the park on the East River that faces Manhattan. Sometimes I forget that I live here.

Wednesday: Former Olympians, Toronto hopefuls and other athletes gathered in Rockefeller Center to celebrate the 100 day countdown to the start of the games. See a full gallery at NBCNewYork.com
