Freeze Frame
Thanks to Catie Savage for braving the rain yesterday to take this photo of the Saint Martin de Porres procession through Hell’s Kitchen. “Times like this remind me how cool it is to live here and have all these different cultures mixed together,” she said after following the Peruvian church congregation.
