Emily's Bob Dylan Tour of NYC

Bob Dylan Tour of NYC
A couple weekends ago, one of my closest friends, Emily, came to NYC to visit Sean, Adele, and I. When Em was bopping around on her own, visiting me at work, or walking around with us as a group, she kept taking photos of things and places associated with Bob Dylan. By the end of the trip she had so many Bob Dylan-inspired photos that I started to call her little trip "Em's Bob Dylan Tour of NYC." :)
