An artist named Tom Matt shows his work in these kinds of places. I was in Bazzini several months ago sampling a salsa dip when I discovered a couple of his pastel drawings hanging across from the deli counter. He takes the paper-of-the-day and on it creates a beautiful representation of the Brooklyn Bridge or a street corner on 79th and Columbus. Anyway, just a huge fan of cityscapes in general, but I particularly love his drawing style. I've posted some of my favs below, but there is much more on his website including a Paris series.

80th & Amsterdam
Brooklyn Bridge
Bryant Park, the Grace Building & Chrysler
(or the scene when I'm on my way to fashion week coming from the Times Square 2 train, past the Conde Nast building, and about to cross the street and head over to the tents!)
Central Park & The Plaza Hotel
Ludlow & Houston
Mercer Street & Waverly Place
