My first breakfast in New York, at Cafe Metro. Food was just OK, but they had surprisingly decent coffee, even if it was a drip brew. Where are all the small specialty coffee stores?
10am, the morning after St Patrick's day parade. There're very few people on the road, and crappy ice is still on the roadside, making walking across intersections an Olympic-class effort. There's the long-jump, the 1 meter hurdles, and the 5 foot puddle crossing.
What may be New York's thinnest high-rise, near Madison Square Park. To be confirmed!
Spot the red birdie!
Virgin Megastore at Union Square! Took me about an hour of walking, puddle-dodging and dangerous-looking-groups-of-men avoidance to get there, but it was worth it. Managed to find Broadway musical CDs and DVDs!
At Union Square Park, on my way to lunch, a big fat squirrel determined to eat nuts, oblivious to any two-legged threat bobbling by
And, the same not-so-little guy from 5 feet away
Lunch! I finally make it to a seafood/crab place - my one indulgence for the day. Other than the Broadway musical tonight, and the potato chips for tea..um yeah. Ahem. King Crab roll, with preserved old ginger (appetizer).
The main course, Seafood Pan Roast with linguini. Very Yummy!
Drama in New York! Concerned New Yorkers peacefully protesting the protracted Iraq war, escalating tensions with Iran, and generally, the Bush administration.
Couldn't tell which building they were circling, if they were at all...
Whoa... Time to rest up for this evening.
