I started by circumnavigating the block where my wee pod (hotel room) is located, then expanded my rounds to a lunch and Broadway theatre recce. I found the Great White Way which is actually now the Great Messy Smokey Rainbow Way.
It's hard to get pics without telling anyone with a functioning eyeball that you're a tourist, so there are no real pics of Broadway, but:
- Great - yes, it's large and sprawling, and there are lots of lovely shows to be seen, most of which I can't see, because of time, and money (lack of).
- Messy - Slush, sludge and inevitable big city litter. The massive snow drop half melted, and created huge unjumpable half-frozen puddles that look deceptively shallow. There are lots of cold, wet feet in New York this night.
- Smokey - not from ciggys, but from the ridiculous number of new immigrants operating New York hot dog stands. Most of them fire up the grill so much that the meat oil from the legions of grilled hot dogs create a dramatic fog that wraps around your eyeballs and olfactory senses, and leaves you wide open for a wet foot.
- Rainbow - too many neon lights, and jumbo LCD screens.
First impressions of New York - it's a little bit like a very cold Singapore. Well, the weather is the obvious thing, but like Singapore, the part of New York I'm in has a few restaurants/cafes/bistros/sandwich bars on every street.
Plan for tomorrow: Breakfast, then to Chinatown for cheapo bathroom slippers or something. Or some cheap food. Or something.
