~SCROLL DOWN FOR MELLI'S DRAGON HUNT CHALLENGE~
Today is Ruby Tuesday and today were going to take a look at Hunters Point, Long Island City.
Remember you can post anything RED - a lot of RED or a little bit of RED.
Hunters Point is the neighborhood most people mean when they say Long Island City. One subway stop from Midtown, this working-class and industrial neighborhood is transforming into a premier residential enclave with the housing prices to match.
These red-brick townhouses are very special and marked as an historic landmark.

Funny napkins...
I'd really appreciate it if you would sign Mr. Linky AND make a comment. This makes it a little easier for me to visit everyone. If you do one and not the other then I have to check back and forth to see if I've visited you already. Thanks very much.

I see some lovely (red) townhouses and a fun (red) cartoon of nuns. Is Ruby Tuesday coming?
Eager beaver here...ready to link up... :-)
The napkin is funny, and I love how you color-coordinated it with the buildings!
Ready too!
I'm sorry Mary but I can't find Mr Linky.
Great looking townhouses.
Mine is up and running as well.
I love the humour in your festive napkins and the red buildings are beautiful with their sturdy, strong, endurable appearance..
*LOL* I totally need these napkins!
The red-brick townhouses are beautiful. I wouldn't say "No" to on of those.
Please come and meet my ruby red "Straw-Bear-Ry" if you find a minute. :-)
Ooops - I'm sorry... the first linky leads to my main blog. I guess it's a kind of "Manic Monday leftover", but Ruby Tuesday is posted on the photoblog.
I can't delete the link myself... could you please help me, Mary?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the mess.
I have some historic heritage as well, but it's in Belgium, not Long Island! And..... surprise ....
It's red as well!!! Isn't that funny?
Beautiful Mary, oh and I love the napkins too!
They are very unusual buildings! We have red brick houses but I've never seen them with black paintwork. It's very striking.
Looks like a nice neighborhood. I like the container gardens. I am going to Manhattan next weekend (god willing) to shoot some pictures.
Have a nice Tuesday. I have a couple of Daylilies and a red rose this week.
Those homes are a beautiful red.
Hello, I made my first Ruby Tuesday post. I hope you like it.
By the way the houses look very good!
Those red brick town houses look very inviting! I like the black accents. Happy Ruby Tuesday to you and all.
It is not just the red in these townhouses, it is the detailing. Not ornate, but distinctive especially the window trim and the woodwork on the peaks on the facade.
The style and elegance of a bygone era, for sure!
I like the red buildings! Enjoyed the post very much!
I will have a red post up tomorrow!

That's a nice looking row of houses!

great capture of row houses as well.
Thanks for all you do to keep RT rolling Mary!!

The nun napkin made me giggle. Thanks for the laugh!
Beautiful red brick townhouses.
They kind of remind me of fire stations somehow. I think I'm being dysfunctional again :P
Happy Ruby Tuesday Mary!!
Happy ♦Ruby Tuesday♦ Mary! awesomely great photos!
These are beautiful townhouses. I love the color!
Love the cartoon napkin!
I am enjoying being part of Ruby Tuesday and you inspired me to post a travel photo

Lots of red and love the napkin...
Too funny how you've found napkins to match the neighbourhood!
I'm doing Ruby Tuesday for the very first time! I love your napkins the best.
Lovely townhouses, I posted a red post, so late in the game I don't know if it's been done before, but found it ahhh.. close at hand. :) Thanks for let me participate in the fun. Judi

Love the napkins!
What smart looking townhouses -- so well kept. Happy Ruby Tuesday, Mary.

Rules are to be broken, I hope I didn't be real bad today. What rule might I have broken? Sorry if it's too bad!

I love the napkins. The townhouses are wonderful too. So neat and tidy and proper.
The buildings very pretty, all dressed in red and black, as are your nun napkins, Mary!
Window air conditioning? For premium priced real estate they're going to have to install Central Air Conditioning for my money! hahaha!
Great photos from everyone! Very cool. Happy to participate. Cheers!
This is my first Ruby Tuesday also, enjoying blogging and connecting.

Hi! My very first time in this Meme;-)
Beautiful buildings - they remind me very much of townhouses in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) or old english ones.
This is my first time to play

Love the napkins.
I just did my first Ruby Tuesday post over at Jantrails.
EXCELLENT IDEA! Today started my official participation in this meme.
Thanks for help us share our pictures.
Nice houses, look very English, lol ! I am NOT wearing the same tomorrow !!
These townhouses are really quite stately with the black trims! Impressive!
What an incredibly beautiful building!!! Thanks so much for sharing it with us this week. Perfect choice for Ruby Tuesday.
Please see my post here, and/or my whole blog I Was Born2Cree8.
BTW... thanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving me your comment this evening (maybe last night to you now, haha). It was much appreciated.
I love the red townhouses. so wonderful sight. Happy Tuesday!

Lovely red townhouses!!

Mary,
I am in awe of those beautiful buildings. They are stunning! Love the cutie pie napkins also, gave me a har har early this morning! ;-)

Love the decorative touches on the red-brick townhouses and the humor on the napkins. Very nice!
I'm up! Love the red buildings, very elegant - and the nun napkins were a good laugh :-)
I just love those red town houses - they're beautiful!
I'm not joining in but I have signed Mr. Linky so you know I've been as you requested. :)
Mary, I must apologize! I accidentally added Dr. John to your linky list... I had put his name on my dragon hunt and forgot to change it before I clicked for YOUR linky! He DOES have a lovely PINK dragon on his blog today though -- does THAT count??? LOL!
I love your red brick buildings! Having watched what has become of some of the neighborhoods in DC, I know that these little beauties ARE prime!!!
MY Ruby is up too! It's a PLAYFUL one!
AH the townhouses of Hunts Point...Very cool...I ended up in NY also..well NY Harbor that is...well an island in NY Harbor...
Love the napkin. That was hysterical.
the napkin is a hoot!
the townhouses are stunning, your photos really do them justice.
Mary - your Ruby Tuesday meme certainly has taken off FAST!
Mine's up today - another flower from gardens-gone-by....
Have a great Tuesday!

61 comments! No way! Your rock!
I wouldn't mind living in one of those pretty red houses :o)
I'm up for today. I've already signed up on Linky...so I don't have to do that again. It would be sort of redundant. :) Don't want to get in trouble with the nuns, though.
Love the red townhouses.
That red building it gorgeous. The black trim really makes it pop!
that's a gorgeous building! just love it.
First RT for me.
Lovely red architecture you got there! And the nuns are funny! :) Great pics for Ruby Tuesday!
