Some quick thoughts about our trip to “the city” (I still call it that, at least in my head. Years of living in Jersey will do that to you, I guess.)
1. Gas should not be cheaper in NYC than it is in Florida.
2. Pastis has great breakfast.
3. This was our first trip since 9/11 and it was much more difficult to get our bearings without the Twin Towers. I didn’t expect that.
4. I love corner delis where you can get two egg & cheese sandwiches on a hero with two cups of coffee for $5.
5. S’mac makes excellent macaroni & cheese. I had the goat cheese, spinach and olive. TW had the four cheese. Awesome.
6. The Point Knitting Cafe folks weren’t snobby at all!
7. The Gansevoort has great robes and an interesting mini bar (mile high club sex kit!). They also had nice toiletries and decent sheets. The room, however, was cold even before the weather turned cold. The video screen in the elevator – crazy weird. I finally decided it is some sort of tribue to Alex Grey and then I was ok with it. Sort of.
8. 36 hours in The City is not enough time, particularly when 5 hours of that is spent in an office!
I love New York
