In the summer of 2000, the CowParade moo-ved into New York City. I took my camera out to take some pictures of the cows, especially those that are transit-related. Here’s what I came up with.
TRANSIT RELATED COWS
Metro Cow
This was the first cow to have its picture taken by me. It was located inside Grand
Central Terminal, outside the station master’s office.

pieces of subway maps. This cow comes in two views:

Live Stock
I noted this cow because it was located behind a bigger version of the male of the
species, the charging bull, located north of Bowling Green Park. Like You Are
Here Cow, Live Stock has two views:
1. The cow by herself (44K)
2. With the Charging Bull (48K)

Survivor
A cow based on the TV show of the same name! It has the names of all 16 castaways from the first series
underneath it, and a small writing on the back pocket: “DON’T VOTE ME OFF!”
Survivor castaway Jenna even signed the other side of this cow!

Holy Cow!
A cow playing for the New York Yankees? I think she’d be better off grazing the grass at the Stadium. She's named for former Yankee announcer and player Phil Rizzuto’s
famous “udder”-ance. Why not make a cow called by this expression?

A cow that wants to be eaten, marking its body along the cuts of its meat? That’s
comedy!

I'm sure that if the Cow Parade were held in NYC now (post-9/11), this would be a memorial to the buildings they depict.)
