Random NYC Blogging
You know how it goes - where there's been so much that each day could have three blog entries ... so there are none.
Yeah.
Rather than worrying about making all those perfect posts here are some random observations:
Korean - yum
Ethiopian - yum
Sushi - yeah, you know.
Dim Sum - mmmmmm
Grande Soy Lattes - life blood
And none of those had anything I had to avoid in terms of my cleanse! (well, not much at least)
Museums so far: Museum of Modern Art (thanks to Target for the free friday night!), the Whitney (so cool! and half was being set up for a big display coming soon so we only got to see three floor but it was half price which made me so happy as I can never make it through a whole museum anyways!) and a Corpse Bride puppet/storyboard showing down in some area between Soho and Chinatown.
Wedding bands have been picked out and are being sized this week.
Miles walked - toooooo many!! We were hitting the three hour mark some days with our walking.
weather - COLD!
Restaurant we made reservations at before heading to MOMA but then we walked the ten blocks there and walked up and down the street and then up and down the street above, and then one more above, and then around the block, and then down the street again, and then to the Barnes and Noble at the end of the block to check their NYC Zagat restaurant guide to see if we had written it down wrong and then check that we were on the right street, still in nyc, still in the USA.. and then again down the street as we had phoned them only three hours earlier and then finally walking into restaurant right in that area only to see the Indian decor being renovated into the Steakhouse and the workman who confirmed and then let us know we weren't insane as the restaurant has a sister location that is getting the forwarded calls and not necessarily checking which spot someone thinks they are reserving for - one Shaan of India. Please note for your own records.
Number of cockroaches that crawled out of the tub overflow drain and onto my foot as I soaked in a nice warm tub after long day of walking - one.
I did not scream. But I did get out of that tub faster than anyone has EVER MOVED IN THE WOLRD. Screw the olympics. I kicked their asses on speed with that one.
Number of friends visited with/dined with/seen museums with: ten!
And tonight Jim and I watched Anne of Green Gables. It has been a wonderful trip.
Annika, please do mail yourself out here COD!
And Sarah, will sniff a prezel for you - but I KNOW I'll get that look they love to give me here.

When I was in NYC, everytime I walked past a pretzel stall, my tummy rumbled because it smelled so delicious! I finally gave in towards the end of the trip and bought a pretzel. What a let down! It was absolutely tasteless! I was gutted.
But it still smelled amazing!
I'm glad you're having fun! Keep it up!
Yay for a good time!
I have a memory of an apple filling-stuffed pretzel from my visit to Florida. Which, my brain tells me, was very nice. Or maybe I'm imagining it.

*blinks*
*imagines the cockroach skuttling and crawling over foot*
*twitches*
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuggggghhh [shudder]
I know what you mean about the speed thing. I picked up a loo roll from the holder in the bathroom the other day and say this large crane spider hanging underneath it. One yelp and a split second later, and that loo roll was on the floor, and the spider was skuttling into the dirty washing pile.
I did try to rescue it to the windowsill outside but I think the trauma killed it [frown]. I didn't want that.
But yay for good food and museums and stuff!
Oooh! Good times in NYC.
But I truly don't miss the cockroaches.
What I loved best about this entry:
And tonight Jim and I watched Anne of Green Gables. It has been a wonderful trip.
I suspect you will have a wonderful life together. :-)
Not to focus on the stomach portion of this entry... but, I adore Ethiopian food.
In fact, just reading that is making me salivate for some right now.
Thanks for your article, quite useful piece of writing.
