Passing the long defunct Sassony Arcade on Broadway, I found this character sitting backwards on an arcade horse, rocking back and forth. The arcade, in what would be its last year of operation, was an interesting spot on Broadway where people hung out as if it were just a local stoop. Most of the machines were in bad shape and most everybody there showed little to no interest in playing the games.

The expression on his face makes me smile every time I look at it.
